2017-2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!

So I was on a socalsoccer embargo since I didn't watch the game until last night. Congrats to Stanford. They were the better team Sunday. UCLA as a whole team seemed a bit sluggish, from keeper to striker. Was it Stanford? The Duke game? Injuries catching up to them? Being a young team? A bit of everything? Doesn't matter because Stanford played well in the win. Not sure where I'm going to get my soccer fix now on TV. :(

How many people on this forum had a kid play 200 minutes in the College Cup this weekend or last year or the year before?

Those are the opinions I want to hear. The rest is just noise from people swinging above their weight class. YOU WILL SEE AT THE END WHO WAS RIGHT AS USUAL. But what will happen is you just will disappear and change screen names. I guarantee it. And @CaliKlines is in for a rude awakening in 7 months.

Pure comedy that @timmyh even has an opinion. I'd love to see my player play against your player. That would be a nice lesson for my player. Goodness you are transparent.

You were wrong, though. You guaranteed UCLA would win it all (they didn't). You said your girl is the best CB in the country (the coaches don't even think she's one of the two best in the conference). You said the other coaches in the conference are idiots (they aren't). You said to wait and see who makes the All-American list (we did, and it was a good list yet you call the list "a joke"). You said she'd play great in the final and she was ready (she was dreadful, and apparently hurt). You said the players on the UCLA bench aren't very good and shouldn't be getting minutes (what a dumb thing to say).

Just stop. Your kid is a great player. I agree that she would contribute on just about any team in the country. She doesn't need you acting like an idiot hype man, Lavar.

THE PARENTS OF GIRL'S ON YOUR DAUGHTER'S TEAM ('S...not just at UCLA) ALL DISLIKE YOU AND WISH YOU WOULD SHUT UP!
JITKA REALLY LIKES YOUR DAUGHTER BUT CAN'T STAND YOU!
Maybe you should think why that is and how I know the above before you go too far in assuming who my children are.

You think your antics are making people super aware of how good your girl is. You're wrong. Your antics are edging dangerously close to actually hurting her opportunities. She would be much better off if you would delete your account, stop with the emails that you think are private, and pipe down in the stands. Everyone's tired of you, and there's a level of play where your girls isn't soooo good that it's worth putting up with your nonsense. Your girl is an adult now. Let go a little bit.
 
Wow. Straight up bitch slap. Great post.

Next. The half black racist will write and say you are racist.

The golfer will rip on your DD and threaten even though his civic is lame.

I don't know if mommy or daddy will be the one who responds. Maybe both....

He acts like this in the stands?
 
Best college cup game I've ever seen, bar none. It was open, with intelligent play, high soccer IQ, two teams trying to possess to generate chances, etc. The best team won. But the beginning of the second half reminded me of why Stanford has also lost multiple finals in the past. UCLA came up against a team that took the ball from them. And they were exposed in the back, not because of lack of talent or speed as others are so adamant to point out, but because the risk of playing the way they do is to be caught in open space. Stanford was the better team, but UCLA fought their way back, and that is why this is the beautiful game. It's unpredictable and honest. I'm glad that in the age of technology and when everyone in the country has instant access to this game, the game was one of pure beauty and excitement. If the younger generations follow this style of play, the future is bright.
 
I said I think its stupid to kneel for the national anthem.
I said kids do dumb things. (even the smart ones)
They do.
I should know.

I dont care what color you are.
We all gotta grow up sooner or later.
I didnt call your kid stupid.
Get it?

Yikes. Lot's of craziness on this forum.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but (forgive me if this has already been mentioned) UCLA does have two military veterans on their coaching staff. If they were ok with the players taking a knee then it probably shouldn't bother the rest of us. Besides, isn't this type of activism and self discovery part of the college experience? Not trying to argue the politics of it one way or the other, just saying maybe it shouldn't be taken so seriously.

Anyway - any thoughts on next season for the team? Incoming recruits, reserves ready to step into starting roles? It's going to be a fun rivalry to watch over the next couple of years for sure.

Agree 100%. Great game with fantastic players and coaches and extremely attractive soccer being played by both sides.
It was a shining example of what I hope the future of college soccer can be.
 
You called those that are kneeling stupid --

Get it?
At least 3 of those kneeling are internationals shitting on our flag. And guess what? Your taxpayer money pays for them to be here

Or many would say they are bravely partaking in trying to make the country they chose to live and that has offered them a wonderful opportunity a better place to live in (isn't that the whole point of why we invite people to join us?). It depends on your perspective and political leanings, I suppose.
At any rate, we've run down this path. Everyone's opinion is pretty clear, and nobody seems to be ready to change their mind. Let's stop mucking up the college thread with political arguments.
 
Get your glasses fixed.....the quote is, “I think the kneeling thing is stupid”. How is that calling them stupid?apparently you don’t Get It! Stick to Poway Politics!

In my estimation, based on long experience, people who do some stupid thing generally do other stupid things, so much so that we start calling them stupid.

It looks like you and the plumber went to have your bread buttered on both sides.
