Thank you!!!
Anyone want to say OP plays direct take a look at how she dismantled the Blues in last years final at Nat. TB looks like she plays direct but she doesn't- Blues game from last year and exceptional one to watch just how skillfully those two are. TB is a beast and I hate using that term but it's true.
Well deserved win- good soccer on display.

I didn't post they play kick and run. I posted direct, that's all.Not arguing about style of play today with people who go back and forth all day. SC nice style of play they just happen to have a killer forward. Notice who sets it up- I may be biased of course

Don't mistaken direct with kick and run.
Luca Modric from Real Madrid is a technical player on a direct team, but has the ability to play possession.
True I agree and sorry I jumped the Gun- people always make the next leap of direct being kick ball and it annoys me. I think the Blues are phenomenal at ball winning and pressing- something that a lot of teams lack- and so when you can see people who can break that down it is fun to watch.

No worries and I agree, as the saying goes....control the midfield control the game.

I have seen many forwards that are "great" and that get the ball played to them directly that are "great" because they are usually the one of the most athletic players on the pitch. Once those players get to college they often come against defenders that are more athletic. That is when it pays to have a technical foundation. If you just rely on speed that comes to an end at the high D1 level...

Yup, I agree there are quality teams and or players outside of SoCal.
FYI some insight / rumor on Solar Chelsea
- That team has 10 new players handpicked from other clubs (Coming from one of the Solar parents) they have stacked team
Essentially Solar had an all star team - Now I can not confirm nor deny this .....but .....it makes sense why they were so dominant - no excuses here they deserve to win but if true puts things into perspective

We could do the same thing here if we went from everyone getting GDA to maybe 5-6 teams. In reality there is only enough elite talent for 2-3 teams but there is plenty of very good players that could fill the other 3-4 teams.
I agree our Region is so diluted too many teams to many leagues - as a region we don't concentrate our talent --- now with DA and ECNL this will dilute the Talent pool further ... SMH

I'm watching the replay of the game right now and the first goal by Solar was poor defense on Eclispe's part. So far I haven't seen anything extraordinary. It's U14 though so my expectations aren't very high. They do attempt to connect passes though and both teams are trying to play soccer so far.
You won't be able to see anything extraordinary because your DD is not playing.

Wrong. But don't be a hater. You sound bitter. Is reality starting to set in? Mine has a 3.9 in pre-med and is a baller. Don't hate the player. Hate yourself for being a d-bag.

I just saw Eclipse score their first goal. First of all it was a missed call by the AR. The ball was near side of the broadcast and was clearly out of bounds. The goal came on a corner kick. The defense did a horrible job of clearing the ball. So far lots of poor defending. I like that both teams are trying to connect passes for the most part. A very good sign at the youngest ECNL age.

Yes, so much to navigate in the next couple of years, yours is an 03 if I recall.
