2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

Spring games are always an odd event. Different formations, different players. All experimentation. Means nothing. Regularly playing 3 halves.
 
Pepp vs Japan 2-2

How did your player play? UCLA won 2-0 against the same team. It was 2-0 in the first 35 minutes and then they pretty much cleared the bench. It was nice having everyone get significant minutes. Minutes are hard to come by in Westwood especially outside of the first 16-18. My player is extremely impressed by her teammate that will be replacing the one graduating starter.

It looked like we were going to pound them in the first half, then the second half we turned off the afterburners. On a positive note, our attacks are some of the best I've seen yet. Lots of options! Spring is weird...lots of rotation but its nice to see the depth in action! I try to refrain from commenting on my own player's performance publicly but I'm sure you will hear plenty of analysis in person LOL

GKR’s player is playing great! Nothing to worry about there. From my perspective the entire team is playing well. Coaching staff is just trying to give everybody ample playing time and some experimenting is going on trying different players in different positions. Pretty much what you’d expect in the spring. I am really excited about this upcoming season as I think we will do well.

I assumed that she was playing well. Spring is great because it's a chance for everyone to show that they deserve to get on the field when it counts. I agree that there is a TON of experimenting going on that will serve it's purpose down the road. I'm glad that I get to see my player lined up to play my second favorite team at least 2 more times. If you are in town on the 14th of April I hope to see you at the new watering hole that opened up a couple steps from the old watering hole. I hope that Pepperdine wins all of their games (except for when they line up against my kiddo). Continued good fortune to you and your family.
 
It’s really sad. Think about the locker room.....When you’re player, you know who can play, and we’ll....who can’t.

Is it really a kid on the team? It sounded like a kid that just got admission using a recruiting profile, but the kid doesn't actually play on the team. Sounds like I misread the complaint.
 
Holy Cow! As Glen said, some did not even play the designated sport!

From TMZ: "As for Loughlin, she and her husband -- ..., the founder of Mossimo clothing -- allegedly paid $500,000 to have their 2 daughters designated as recruits for the crew team at USC ... despite the fact they did not actually participate in crew. However, the feds say Mossimo sent action photos of their daughters on rowing machines. Mossimo was also charged in the indictment."

Yes. Haven’t gone thru all details. But my kid mentioned 1 kid never played, couldn’t play (ability) and didn’t know why or how she got there.
