2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

I'm actually pretty excited to sit on the beach and watch soccer all weekend. My games that I will DEFINITELY be watching:

Santa Clara vs. Stanford (this one is going to be the best game all weekend and is always a battle)
LMU vs. Fullerton (something tells me there is going to be a TON of goals scored)
Florida State vs. Boston College (this is a good one)
Kansas vs. BYU (this is one of 3 serious roadblocks to an undefeated season for BYU. Kansas will win the Big 12 this year)
Long Beach St. vs. Central Florida (two midmajors that need a win to help them come tournament time)
Baylor vs. U$C (Jungle ball vs. advanced kickball not to mention a rematch of the Sweet 16 two years ago)
Wake Forest vs. Virginia (The Deacons are upset specialist and this is an upset waiting to happen with the UVa injuries)
Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee (An in-state rivalry that should be a blood bath. Winner has inside track in the SEC)
Arizona vs. TCU (This game should be an interesting battle between two very direct teams)
Denver vs. Colorado (this is a rivalry game and Denver is better than you might think)
Cal vs. Portland (This is a potential upset for a Golden Bears program riding high after entering the top 25)
Utah vs. University of San Diego ( Utah is an enigma right now and USD is up and down. This should be interesting)

Good luck to all who have players playing this weekend and may it be an injury free weekend!
 
Agree those are intriguing matchups

Baylor v USC could be added to the possible upsets as well

Santa Clara, at 4-4, really needs to bring it v Stanford, and very likely will put them to a major test

Good luck in Hawaii
 
I’m watching UC Davis. Vs. TENN and am impressed With Davis and the their ability to execute hamm’s game plan in year 1.

Commentators mentioned she one of two women that has UEFA license. They are impressed with her. I think I’m watching Cal’a next coach?

0-0 with 20m left
 
And don’t forget Michigan coming off big victory over Wazzu playing at Penn St Tomorrow. Big Ten channel. Will be a tight match as last two decided by a single goal. A win for Michigan not improbable and would put them in great shape going forward in the BIG! Love the start of conference play. Good luck to all!

The Big Ten network is the only one that I didn’t spring for. Most of their football games come on ABC and my player isn’t in the conference so I didn’t get it.

Michigan is definitely responding this season under Klein. They have always had good talent so it is nice to see it being put to better use.

The winner from Vignola was a nice strike. Davis played well.

I wonder if Neil has done enough to save his job. And maybe I'm missing it but, other than incredible bursts of speed, I have never understood the hype about Abi Kim. Maybe I haven't seen her enough but, against Santa Clara, Deza was really forcing the issue there and all I saw was a bunch of north and south runs that didn't produce much.

She's crafty, fast and strong. She assisted the first goal and influenced the second. I'm not a super fan, but she's a very good player.

Well, she's definitely fast and aggressive... she did assist on that goal and it was solely based on speed and effort, but Luca kept sending her through balls and I kept watching her get knocked off or negated. So as for being strong and crafty, I'm still looking for that. I agree that she's good and definitely draws attention but I keep hearing how great she is and I don't see the results. I was far more impressed by at least 3 of her teammates.

I agree there were others that were just as impressive. Paige Mateyer has become an excellent midfielder. Esepcially reading passing lanes on defense. Her distribution could be better, but I thought she was the best player on the pitch.

She was excellent. I think Emily Smith looked terrific as well.
