She's doing a really good job with the team. Their style of play is one of the best in the country. Karina coming in early and Pugh and Sanchez on the way will make for a very good 2017.

Pugh, Sanchez, Canales, Athens, Faulknor and others will be fine additions. Gonna be tough for anybody looking for significant minutes with 9 starters returning and another 4 that played significant minutes. There are only going to be 18 players in the spring so the big class will help with depth. It's going to be tough to break into the top 18 but I could see them playing 20 this season with the fact that there are going to be quite a few blowouts. Cromwell is an excellent tactician and manager of personalities so they will be fine.

What I am saying is they look to possess the ball. Not many teams are going to outpossess Stanford based upon the players that they have. When Santa Clara had the ball they weren't simply booting it forward. Of course Stanford would when the majority of the time if the game were replayed. It was an upset. You can't have it both ways Swoosh. Talk shit because it was an upset and then argue that Stanford was the better team. Duh of course they were. The only other team to get the better of them was super physical and played pretty direct.

You are funny with your kickball and pretty direct digs. You need to rewatch the game. We almost exclusively play out the back and thru the midfield. We do play more than I care with the 30 yard entry ball to a post up forward and play back then typically out wide. That will change next year. But the roofer that Andrews scored was hardly direct. The second goal was fortunate with the keeper way off her line and the lob over. The third goal was a 4 pass sequence that originated when my kid stole the ball and we had a walk in goal. Further, we out shot, out shot on goal and obviously scored 3 goals. Possession was probably 50 -50 but maybe when I am bored over the holidays I will put the machine on it. I will grant you that UCLA did out possess us handily at Stub Hub and kudos to a good game but you were still outshot 20 - 11 and SOG was 7 -2.

Hey I'm cheering for your kiddo this weekend. A rising tide raises all the ships. They thoroughly beat Stanford without a doubt. Good luck to you and yours and Happy Thanksgiving!

WOE. Humility? I wasn't ready for that. Better kiss your loved ones because the world could be coming to an end.

Regarding the game at Stub Hub. 13 of those 20 shots came down the stretch and most were from way outside the 18. There were only about 2 shots that tested the keeper and UCLA almost walked in 2 other goals. UCLA forced the Trojans to chase and they were very direct in that game. Not to mention how physical the Trojans are. I am curious as to what they are going to do on defense next year. They will have plenty of attacking pieces but what about in the back? If I was a Bruin supporter I would be feeling pretty good with 9 returning starters and 13 players that played significant minutes as well as 3 U20 WNT players and a full Canadian WNT player coming in not to mention 2 U18 WNT players and a U17 WNT player and who knows what foreign players are going to pop up on or after signing day.

Maybe your right, I am a little uptight after losing my election. Why would someone attack me so early in the morning about an issue between me and the seahag? None of Cals business. I did not start this. I was planning on a road tip up north to watch Cal in the tourney but they didn't make it out of the first round, maybe that is why Cal is in a foul mood.
Map and Cal, losers, misery loves company.

Who's the loser here. Your daughter is still chasing her college scholarship. Mine is going to a top 25 academic institution paid for mostly by a game that she loves. You are railing on somebody who's kid is doing what yours dreams about and at the same time getting straight A's at a top 25 academic institution. You are also calling a woman a hag because she is making you look silly. You look like a complete idiot to most intelligent people. What do you add to the conversation? Your kid plays for a second rate club run by someone in it for the money not the girls.

I'm completely shocked that someone living in such an obviously glass house would want to start throwing stones.

You are pathetic and quite honestly beneath me.

Do you know me?
Are you dating MAP?
What club is my daughter with?
What scholarship/college is she chasing?
Why do you think you are better than I am?
Typical LIB, POS, ELITIST.
BTW The Donald Won.

Getting outpossessed doesn't mean that you are not a possession team. There are only a handful of teams that can line up and go toe to toe with Stanford purely based upon talent. That is where tactics and good coaching come in. Who else could I be referring to?

This post wasn't for you it was a reply for Pulguita's post. But thanks for the info.

I wasnt gonna say anything, but the way Santa Clara holds the ball, they can play with anyone.
I doubt Stanford will look past them.

So you really think that Stanford is worried about Santa Clara when they are 10-1-1 against them since 2007 and have played them at least once a year since then? Interesting. I think $C has more to worry about with Texas A&M and Florida St. this weekend Santa Clara took care of a dangerous Long Beach St. team and Pepperdine took care of their rivals. Stanford's road forward looks pretty good to me.

Yes you have my number but that is okay with me. I hope that you got your second bottle of wine. We will see how it all shakes out tomorrow. I like where my players team is sitting. Good luck to you and yours.

Got it, thanks.
Your daughter is in good shape for the rest of her college career.
There is no team with a better recruiting class (on paper).

All I care about is grades. The soccer stuff always works itself out. Your players team had a very good season. Not surprising considering the talent that they have. Good luck to your daughter going forward.

Thats not all you care about. Why would you post on this forum instead of some God forsaken academic forum?
No, you care about the game as much as she and her dad does.
We all love the competition and the experience it brings as parents and players.
The grades and the school is paramount, but not exclusive. I know that more than anyone. life is more than getting grades.
Im right.
You know it.
