Don’t care

No sweat off my back

NOT my post

I don’t see your kid making a save like that in a big game! I wish my kid could make a save like that.

Go Lions!
 
Pretty funny stuff. Good game. Very impressed with the possession numbers. Mace got robbed by a slow AR. The replay was clear. The keeper knew it too.

As expected. Whiner. You are high. And even if we're remotely close every team in the pac 12 has had at least one disallowed this year. Go to bed loser

Loser? You sound like the only loser here. I will just call you Pennywise because you sure as hell are a clown.

Try me Mitch.
 
Great game.
Nobody scored during the run of play, that surprised me. Flemming is a great player. She looks like a little rabbit all jacked up on Mountain Dew, with her eyes popped wide open, and her head twitch'n back and forth and all around. She never wastes anything. Always has her passes on target, and just flies up and down the field, from offense to defense, defense to offense, and makes it look easy.
Stanford is more deliberate in their attack, and position by position are phenomenal.
Instead of lightning runs up the field like UCLA, they work like a purse saner, slowly closing the field down toward the opposing goal.
Was a great save to pull the ball off the line by #5 to keep it from going 2-0. Im not super impressed with the UCLA keeper. She has the creds on paper, just not the best imho.

All in all, a great game for us fans.
I wish people would leave the discussion on a level that recognizes the work and beauty of a game with that much talent on the field, but it is what it is, and Im not gonna whine about it.
On one hand, if you come out and state that your kid is the greatest, you're really begging for it when they get beat.
On the other hand, if someone has an issue with that poster, show some class and just gloat quietly on your own, or work in a subtle or funny nuanced quip, that doesn't bring the whole thread into the gutter.

Just my 2 cents, Im not the decider of anything.
 
Decent UCLA game to watch. Sanchez and Fleming were on, along with McCullough on the defensive side, but Mace didn't seem her normal self, especially after her shot that was in or not in. Like to know why the field doesn't have a camera at each goal line.

Interesting on the corner that Stanford scored on. Is it better to have two players at each goal post, or to have those two players mark other players? I swear the UCLA player at the far post seemed to shy away from that shot. Wasn't sure why the keeper punched that one ball out instead of catching it. Seemed like she couldhave. Oh well.

Tough to tell which team is better, so should be interesting come playoff time.

The Stanford goal was created by a really heads up play by Cook, where she headed the ball directly to the feet of the goal scorer.
The crossbar shot was too close for me to call it a goal from the angles Ive seen.
I just cant see a clear shot where the ball is not touching the line.

The USC vs Stanford game will be a story teller.
USC seems to be rising.
 
All four Pac 12 California teams will be in the tournament. Sunday's game at USC will show how good the Trojans are.
Cal looks to be the weakest of the four, but still one of the best in the country. I cant pick the best of the others yet.
California will be well represented for sure.

I agree that Fleming is on another level. Good game, and a draw would have been a fair result.
I think those are the two best teams in the country. Hope there's a December rematch.

@Ricky Fandango I am not tripping because my words will show to be true. I actually sat in the section with mostly Stanford parents and I know what they said about the game and about my player. You will get to see in 2019/20 that I was right about my player. There was only one central defender consistently connecting passes and who never looked threatened.

By the way now you understand why I said that your player had a great game when they played UCLA. You didn't agree with me at the time but staying in front of Fleming for an entire game is pretty difficult. Sullivan couldn't even come close to doing it last night. The most telling stat other than the score was 17 fouls for Stanford to 8 for UCLA. Ask yourself why they had twice as many fouls as they normally have.

Stanford is a helluva team. The Bruins will see them again.
