2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

I have watched USC, UCLA, Stanford this season but Washington State first half against us was right there. They have a lot of speed and it will be interesting to see them to play the top of the conference.

I got to take a peek at the Bears. They are a talented team but still too reliant on one player to create their offense. They should make the tournament but it will be their usual first round exit. The conference is looking like it could get 8-9 teams in this year.

8-9 make the tournament? Maybe if you are talking about the SEC or ACC! Too much East Coast bias

The coaches had a plan this year and they are executing it. When Oregon State is winning out of conference games that is a great sign. The SEC is complete garbage this year. Vanderbilt is their best team if that tells you anything and the ACC’s best team lost to the 3rd best PAC 12 team. As it is looking right now the PAC 12 might set a new record for OOC win percentage. If the bottom half teams can have a good next weekend then anybody with a .500 record in league gets in and that could be as many as 6 teams outside of the top 3. Now it would mean that 3 schools are going to have to completely collapse but that isn’t unusual for PAC 12.

They have no defense and little idea of how to possess the ball. They were pretty experienced and got lucky last year. This season they got really unlucky. They play some advanced kickball but their defense will get shredded by any of the top teams in the conference.

The gap between the top 3 teams in the PAC 12 and the rest of the conference is astonishing. I’ve seen all of them play and Wazzu is pretty equivalent to Cal, Arizona, Colorado and Arizona State in that middle group in the conference that should get in.
 
Friday 8/30, CSUF 5 N. Colorado 0
Monday 9/2 CSUF 1 Utah Valley 2

One of the Utah Valley commentators could not say the word Primus, instead calling her Pry-us, even after the other commentator broke in to say it correctly a few times. The camera crew was the worst group of distracted freshman I have seen so far. When the camera is pointing at the sky during a PK, it is time to look away from the phone!

Absolutely a winnable game and we should have. If you look at the inStats you can see we were well matched.

That game sucked too because my kid, feeling bad/responsible after the illinois loss, went up for a pretty cool save and then came down wrong on her knee. MRI tomorrow. Team doc doesn't think she tore any ligaments, though, so keeping fingers crossed its just a nasty sprain as she hyperextended it (doc's theory is she dislocated her patella and it popped back in...very painful!).

Prayers up for your girl!

I will take mispronouncing a name (it happens to my kid all of the time) versus the Long Beach State guy who kept saying "she played the ball to her feets," Even my 10 year old knew that was wrong. He thought that he was talking about amazing "feats" and not "feet." Then he ended the broadcast twice as it went to OT. Please at least have someone that knows that there is overtime in NCAA soccer! plus his announcing was sooooooooo annoying. Part auctioneer and part horse racing play by play. I wanted to put some money on some thoroughbred but I didn't see one on the pitch!
 
The fact that a North Carolina team that struggled with the worst team in the PAC 12 is clear bias. Not to mention that a 2-2 Florida State team being in the top 6 is obvious bias and 2-1-1 Duke team and a 2-1 NC State team are in the top 14 is laughable. Both of those teams are average at best and are bottom of the top 25 to maybe slightly outside of it.

EAST COAST BIAS IS REAL!!!!!

I don't get it? How hard is it for the announce to say Make A Play? hehe

Listen to the replay of any of Long Beach State's game (they have them on demand on the Big West website). You won't be able to listen to more than 10 minutes before you have to put it on mute. I do love his enthusiasm, however, you have to at least do a little research before you step up to the mic.

That is hard to listen to.

I thought everybody was probably exaggerating a bit so i listened. No exaggeration felt like i was horse track
 
I thought he was hilarious. LB looks like a dangerous 1st round match up in the NCAA.

Cal vs. Long Beach in round 1 and Neil loses yet again!
