Yes there a tough team as you know. It’s going to be a battle. A lot of good players on both sides and hoping to come out with no injuries.
I was just looking at YSR and SJE somehow removed their Surf Cup results. I recall seeing them the last time I looked.

Haven’t checked YSR in awhile but I see there 9th in the National. Are you sure your looking at the right team because Surf Cup should be on there. I noticed all games aren’t always posted or updated on the ussda website.
Just checked neither game is posted.

More a General statement. SJE is a very talented team and there one of the top teams is California close behind some SoCal teams. Just saying the ranking system doesn’t always show a measure of competition. I’m sure Norcal peeps will disagree with me.
I’m confused. Is it possible to alter ones results after they have been posted on YSR? I for sure now know the SJE Surf Cup result against us is not posted on their page but it is on ours.

Alter results? Not sure that’s possible! I do find its strange that you’ve have the results on your end and not on YSR’s end. Surf Cup is a big tournament to miss and one would want those games in there history showing there body of work. If your sure of this- that’s concerning. If there’s any Norcal peeps on here that can chime in, that would be helpful. I do see now on the Norcal board that there some interesting stuff going on with there rankings being moved from different teams. Is that what your referring too?
I did not know the NorCal board was posting on this. Will check out.
Wow! On the NorCal board they are saying that SJE merged their teams on YSR to eliminate certain results. Probably to boost their rankings. But, why? SJE 05 are a DA team and paper results do not necessarily matter until next year.

I think the transition from NorCal premier to DA is not perfectly clean in the data. Also data entry errors happen.
Yes Quakes are a top NorCal team.
Yes Quakes are a top NorCal team.

Um I wouldn’t take some of those posts too seriously. I seriously double Quakes gives a crap what their YSR ranking is.
I am not sure on that. There is a picture of the request by Quakes. If they didn't they would not ask for it.

Just can’t see why they would care. I do know they moved players around a lot during that time and several key players played up towards the end of last season. Someone from Quakes would have to add more I guess.
I was wondering why they could care too. Seems like a of energy to make a team look good. I also just heard there was more than just one request for the removal of past results. So it sounds like they are continually doing this.

The quakes are relentless with this kind of ranking manipulation. It is thought that they use rankings to recruit players because their coach "deza" sucks. I can sincerely say I have never met the gentleman, and have seen some of his teams on video. Heard he is good for 12 and under players, but not so good after that age. Heard he is still using 20 year old techniques to train. So, they need the rankings to help validate their 05 team and thats why they/he spend so much time on it. The 04 on video looks great, and certainly deserve their rank. I welcome all thoughts and concerns.
I believe I recognize your handle from the NorCal thread. And, you just joined here today. Not going to attack Deza. But, our girls have played their 05's and I felt they had an exceptional midfield and their passing schemes and movement off the ball were exceptional. Also, had the chance to watch a bit of the 04 game. Very good as well. What I do find interesting is the claim on ranking manipulation for recruitment. I would say relying on rankings to recruit players is superficial, especially in a closed league.

I agree they have a good midfield in addition to The two current leading goal scorers for that team. One is big, strong and fast (scored 4 last game), the other has good technical abilities (maybe scored 2 last game?). The latter roams all over the field in different positions, and is quite good and effective at it. I disagree with great ball mvmt and passing speed comment. What I see is that they attempt to one touch as much as possible, but not all the players possess the technical ability to play one touch with the desired effect. Similarly, They have a reactive defense that seems to play go fish (for any opponents coming close) rather than establishing and maintaining good defensive lines, nor do they development the ball from the back well. Tall CB is good technically, makes the correct decisions >80-90% of the times, but slow and appears to be afraid to make mistakes so she makes these small dump passes to the nearest player. That being said, They are still a good team but not the best coached team I have ever seen on video.
