2007 DA

What was the change Fusion did?
not sure. but here's their defensive chart. It measures goals allowed per game by the Fusion as a % of the average goals scored by their opponents.

after Ventura Fusion gave up eight goals to LAG at the end of Sept, they seemed to have got things on track defensively. Would be interesting to hear from folks about what changed.

here's predicts vs actuals for this weekend (2/22). home team is listed first. had a little bit of rain, and some 07s playing up w/ the u14s.

San Diego
predict: San Diego Surf 4 - Albion 1 actuals: rescheduled.

Los Angeles
predict: LA Surf 3 - Real SoCal 1 actuals: pending - does anyone have this result?

predict: Ventura Fusion 1 - LAFC 2 actuals: Ventura Fusion 0 - LAFC 3
note: was concerned that the Algo had been out late the night before, before producing this predict but it wasn't too far off. per game report, LAFC scored all three goals in a five minute window right at the end of the match. LAFC rostered three 08s and one 09. Ventura was missing five starters who were playing up w/ the 06s and rostered four 08s. anyone have more commentary or insight on this match? either here or via dm?

predict: Santa Barbara SC 1 - Pateadores 2 actuals: rescheduled
 
here's SoCal and LA/SD Group standings as of last weekend. highlighted best offensive teams (top 5 in socal and top 3 in group) and best defensive teams (same). SoCal standings are presented first and group standings are presented second.

A caveat on the standings below is that - at the showcase - LA teams went 8 wins, 5 draws and two losses vs SD teams with 29 goals scored by LA teams vs 13 goals allowed. Point being is that at the u13 level, LA has the edge over SD, despite the standings below.

here's predicts vs actuals for this last weekend (3/7). home team is listed first. btw, today is National Clint Dempsey Day. (his dob is 3/9/83) and here's a quick tribute:
- Keep it spicy, US Soccer!

San Diego
predict: Albion 2 - Chula Vista 1 actuals: pending - does anyone have the score?
predict: Murrieta Surf 1 - SC del Sol 5 actuals: Murrieta Surf 1 - SC del Sol 7
note: SC del Sol, disappointingly, only rostered on 08 for this match. having said that, the score was only 2-1 SC del Sol at ht, so, to be fair, SC del Sol may have adjustments in the 1h.

per game report, Murrieta got on the board first with a goal in the 8th minute from DP but SC del Sol tied it at the 23rd minute and then went ahead at the 29th minute with the first of two for AP. Second half was all SC del Sol and JVM had a late in the game hat trick.


predict: Strikers 2 - OC Surf 1 actuals: Strikers 2 - OC Surf 1

predict: SDSC 1 - LAGSD 1 actuals: SDSC 4 - LAGSD 1
note: The Algo though this one would be closer. per game report, SDSC came to play scoring three in the first 35, with DR getting a double for the 3-0 lead at ht. SDSC went up 4-0at the 52 minute and LAGSD got one back at the 62 minute for the 4-1 final score

predict: Arsenal 0 - SC del Sol 6 actuals: Arsenal 1 - SC del Sol 5
note: SC del Sol, disappointingly, again, only rostered on 08 for this match - AVM - but he did get a double in the 1h. having said that, the score was only 2-0 SC del Sol at ht, so, to be fair, SC del Sol may have adjustments in the 1h.

predict: Murrieta Surf 1 - Real Salt Lake 4 actuals: Murrieta Surf 3 - Real Salt Lake 1

predict: Nomads 0 - San Diego Surf 7 actuals: Nomads 0 - San Diego Surf 7
note: SD Surf... it's hard to like you guys sometimes... per game report, SD Surf only rostered one 08 for this match with the expected result.

Los Angeles
predict: LA Surf 1 - Santa Barbara SC 2 actuals: pending - does anyone have the score?

predict: LA Galaxy 2 - TFA 2 actuals: LA Galaxy 2 - TFA 2
note: looks like a fun match to watch. per game report, it was tied 1-1 at ht. AH for TFA put in a double in rapid succession right after halftime to make it 3-1 TFA.

LAG responded quickly to make it 3-2 a couple of minutes later, but couldn't get it back tied and TFA added a safety goal at the 50th minute for the final 4-2 result.


predict: Pateadores 2 - Legends 2 actuals: Pateadores 0 - Legends 2
note: looks like Pats couldn't quite get their O going in this one. per game report, JO for the legends had a quick double for Legends around the 25th minute to put Legends up 2-0 and that as that. Btw, not sure if this impacted (apologize for using impact as a verb...) in any way the result but Pats were missing a new player - WW - who may have the second best name in the USSDA. The first best name being Abraham Lincon, a u17 out of Texas.

predict: FC Golden State 1 - LAUFA 2 actuals: FC Golden State 1 - LAUFA1
note: sounds like a good match here. per game report, got a little scrappy with FCG having 1 card and LAUFA having three, but nothing wrong with that... LAUFA went up 1-0 with an early goal at the 8th minute, but FCG tied it at the 29th minute for the final 1-1 result.
 
Here are the last two LA Surf results...
02.29.20 - LA Surf 2 Real So Cal 0
03.07.20 - LA Surf 1 Santa Barbara 1
