2007 DA

ah, simmer down. Give people the benefit of the doubt. No one said Diego (or any other kid) was poor. Kid is tremendous. Pep just said he gets his assists from Dylan. Because he gets his assists served up by Dylan that doesn't mean that Diego is any less. Can compliment one without it being an insult to the other...
Assists got to come from somewhere. It's a team sport.
I think SDSC wide players have tremendous vision. Diego is a clinical finisher and moves really well off the ball. We all rue unfinished chances. It was just said that the kid just gets great service and does his part to finish. I'd love to see that kid next to a big #9 in a 2 man front and then let him roam to find gaps.

Not worth being offended. Keep moving.
Stay focused on giving each other the scouting reports so my little Messi can win the USSDA U13 League Title. hahaha.
I didn't quit him being an AYSO All-Star to not win everything here! hahaha, ok, I'm done, lol.

Real talk though... it is interesting to hear how the other teams are doing because it reassures me or makes me think about where our team is in regards to development. I find it intriguing to see the improvement rate and the tactical mobility of teams to adjust. That's been my big concern for this year. I haven't seen a lot of teams able to "try something new." Seems to be one-way direction tactically. If Team A can shut down Team B's main threat or process, Team A wins. Not just talking SDSC or something... as much as the coaches ability to assess and communicate an adjustment. I know the jump to 11v11 is a big one and so many players are lost tactically on balance, etc. So, I punt that to the coaches this season. In a few years, I'd like to see a strong reading of the game and players have a better idea of what tactical tools to use. I am really curious to watch the lights come on for teams this year as they begin to grasp some of these higher level tactical concepts that are being introduced... especially position specific play. Playing with a 9 vs an 11, the role of a 6, flat back 4 balance and transition to offense as a 3 man back, etc.

You forgot the part where he blasted the "SUBS". Totally not necessary. I always say, the worst part of club soccer in our experience isn't the clubs, leagues, or coaches, it's "other parents".

From a different perspective, it didn't sound like a blast of the subs but more of a neutral observation as to the depth of each time while analyzing Surf and SDSC's abilities to compete against each other.
 
Yup, Saying “main weakness is the bench” equals “blasting” ???
Nah. Still not offended. Moving on.
Subjective call. Feel free to see it as blasting and be offended. ✌️

SDSC vs SD Surf will be the match to watch. I see the score being more like 3-1 SDSC. Yes, DR has scored most of SDSC's goals however, they have a great strength and skill in the midfield. Probably the strongest mids I've seen this season. They all can score. In their first match vs Surf this season SDSC scored 4 goals. DR scored 2, another forward scored 1 but the last goal came from midfielder #22 Dylan Alfaro. This kid is one to watch. He was the main reason why DR has scored a lot of his goal. I'm certain DA must have the most assists.

Clearly you have zero idea of the game. Surf has dominated SDSC since last year and proved it again tonight with a 4-0 win. SDSC beat Surf once in 6 games. And by the way, they play kickball. Every defender or mid launches the ball down field looking for their striker who was no match for the Surf defense and keeper.

Who the guy that called you out on your nonsense praise and unfounded prediction. Yup! I am that guy.

Ok. Lol.

Meanwhile, back at the adult table....

Did LAFC play “down” or is FCGS comparable?
What’s up with the TFA/LA Surf result?

Its really interesting to me how much the mental side plays in... I mean, as parents we see it everywhere else, so not surprising. Just drives home how fickle it is to chase wins at this age.

Murrieta seems to be getting steadily better. Starting to click. LAGSD is a good team, IMO, so a 2-0 win is nice. Rain in Carlsbad but turf field was fine.

No one invited you to my conversation. ✊
 
By the way, how’s the Surf kid who broke his foot? How long is he out for? Terrible to hear. I heard it looked pretty rough at the time.

A lot of broken feet and ankles going around. That and overuse injuries like knees and shin splints. I’d almost want to switch to a team that trains on grass since these boys play so much.

He’s out for the season. Poor kid. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
 
was at the LAFC 05 match so got to catch the 07 game and while we definitely carried possession, FCGS is far from a lesser team. they are really scrappy and tried to play better soccer in the second half. I'm always impressed with our youngest DA team. the soccer they play is top notch but FCGS had a really solid defense and stifled alot of stuff near the box. was a fun match, that 07 team needs competition so today was a breath of fresh air
