Mace looked good on defense for US team at concacaf when she got the start. Maybe off a bit for bruins on D but can still be great. Duel threat and she will be a top 5 pick in NWSL draft.

That’s funny. Who didn’t look good in that game for US? She didn’t have to do anything defensively or was in under no pressure offensively.
She’s an amazing athlete with strength and mentality. Technically or tactically not all that great. Perfect college player because most players in college can’t deal with someone like her. She could, or maybe should be a top pick in the NWSL draft, but that doesn’t mean she is going to be a great national team player. She will be solid in the NWSL as most teams don’t play much soccer, but I personally don’t think she will be a regular with the national team.

Minus the quota it applies to both.

I am beginning to think (or maybe hope) MAP and Pushup are two sides of one bipolar couple.

By the way, Prop 206, passed in 1996, prohibits any type of discrimination (including preferential treatment) based on race, sex, or ethnicity in admission to CA state schools. So leave the race based garbage at home, you are stinking up the place.

So was 187.
Do you know we live in the lawless state of Ca?
Sanctuary state, so please excuse me if I don't believe in "laws."
You people are too funny.

Federal Courts (and judges) issued the injunction prohibiting the implementation of prop 187. While we can always vote our legislators out for not fighting harder for the law, or even move to a state more aligned with our politics, an imperial judiciary is not similarly accountable.

Well said.
Who would enforce 206?
 
The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who holds an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness.

All these awesome critiques from you professional spectators and multiple personality psychopaths on these young female student athletes reminds me of an old school "Ted" talk from long ago.

Hey, any prospects for your stud?

She's gotten mild to strong interest from some really good programs (mostly west coast) but we're still pretty early in the process with all of them. My beard is going gray with the stress. If everything works out, I'll be contributing to this thread more frequently in a couple years.

I am sure you will, she's a beast.
Good Luck.

UCLA was a better team, but UNC deserved the game overall I thought. Playing at home was huge for UNC. Too bad UCLA or USC couldn’t trade a spot with Baylor

Say what you want about Baylor or even all the rest that will not be playing in the College Cup but don't sleep on Georgetown. They have the horses to win it all.

Good point. And Caruso, the 5th year transfer from Stanford, has been doing what she did for Stanford- making big impact.

It seems at this point it's anybody's to win.

Florida State and North Carolina obviously are dynamic and have found ways to get it done and while Stanford is still missing big time players (i.e., Smith, Haley, Davidson), the players they do have are getting it done, their back line has been steady and strong, and their system of play hasn't let them down yet.

Looking forward to Friday and watching how it all shakes out.

True. As a matter of fact, this year my kiddos 1st college game, 1st start, 1st assignment was to mark ms Caruso. And as a proud pop, i think she did her job (for 44min).....then Caruso did her thing, broke loose, and score 3straight (lol - dang, welcome to college ball dd) :)

Totally agree not to sleep on Georgetown....great program, great coach (straight shooting, good dude) and a fantastic academic institution......But there ain’t no-way in hell they’re going to beat NC. They simply don’t have the platoons of talent that NC or any other finalist do.
