here's predicts vs actuals for this last weekend (1/25/20). home team is listed first.
Los Angeles
predict: TFA 2 vs LAFC 1 / actuals: TFA 2 vs LAFC 1 (because that's how the algo rolls...)
note: per game report, looks like the match lived up to its billing. AM got TFA on the board first, with a goal just before half at the 37th minute. Lots of back and forth then in the second half with LAFC tying it very late and then DBA getting the game winner at the very end. Six yellow cards total (4 for TFA and 2 for LAFC) and a late mistake by the ref with a mistaken Red card that was rescinded. Thanks to SLB3 and Legit_Play for commentary (see below):
"0-0 at half.TFA scored in first minutes of second (maybe 50th minute?) Played short off right corner, then cross to far post headed in front of goal and headed again past keeper. 1-0. In maybe 35 or 36th minute of second half LAFC had free kick just outside box. 23 ME beats keeper but ref had blown whistle right before his strike. So the goal is called off. ME retakes kick and hooks it off inside of left post to make it 1-1. (Ref had thought TFA 22 had gotten 2nd yellow and had sent him off, but it was first yellow so called him back on). Then by my watch (maybe someone can confirm???) the ref let them play a 45 minute second half (instead of 40).... in 43rd minute TFA DBA #9 heads a cross past keeper for 2-1 victory.If I’m correct about the time it was quite a ref sh**show for last 10 minutes. Unfortunate in such a high level game." - SLB3
"It was a ref s**t show from the 5th minute on after issuing the yellow to TFA'S #11 on. The fiasco with the mistaken red added there time, and rightfully so..." - Legit_Play
anyone have more commentary or insight, either via this post or dm?
predict: LAUFA 2 - LA Surf 0 / actuals: pending
note: does anyone have the score for this match?
predict: Real SoCal 1 - FC Golden State 2 / actuals: Real SoCal 0 - FC Golden State 1
note: per the game report, FCG got one at the 23rd minute. per DM reports, sounds like it was a physical match but the refs let them play. Also, it sounds like RSC - with TR reportedly logging significant time at the 6 in this match - may be a little stuck w/ a big offensive dependency on TR, and then not many other goal scoring solutions after him.
predict: Santa Barbara SC 1 - Pateadores 1 / actuals: rescheduled (to Feb 24th?)
San Diego
predict: San Diego Surf 5 - LAGSD 1 / actuals: San Diego Surf 6 - LAGSD 1
note: per game report, dominant win by SD Surf with the score being 4-0 SD Surf within the first 15 minutes of the match. ES and DO both went for doubles. LAGSD got one back at the very end of the match.
predict: Albion 4 - Nomads 0 / actuals: pending
does anyone have the score on this match?
predict: Orange County Surf 2 - Arsenal 1 / actuals: Orange County Surf 2 - Arsenal 2
note: per game report, looks like this may have been a fun match to watch. OC Surf went up 1-0 early with a goal at the 12th minute, but Arsenal tied it with a goal at the 30th minute to go into half time 1-1. In the second half, Arsenal went up 2-1 scoring their second about 15 minutes into the second half. OC Surf tied it back up again at the 63rd minute for the 2-2 final score. Arsenal had a pair of yellows.
anyone have more commentary or insight, either via this post or dm?
predict: Murrieta Surf 1 - Strikers 3 / actuals: Murrieta Surf 1 - Strikers 6
note: this one got a little away from Murrieta early. per game report, Strikers were up 4-0, with three of those scored in the first 20 minutes of the match. JK went for a double for the Strikers. Murrieta got one back at the 56th minute.
