It was a good game, both teams played hard. Neither team parked the bus on defense, it was physical play throughout the field. Blues scored on slammers own goal from a corner. Slammers scored end of 1st half and blues scored midway thru 2nd half. Blues won, could of gone either way. Congrats to both teams for a hard fought game.

I thought that having 6 players defending in the Box meant parking the bus in 9v9. I do see this a lot with teams playing 9v9. Especially when running a 3-3-2 formation. The 3 midfielders drop back with the 3 defenders and defend the box and then send the ball with a big kick after they get back possession. They try to hit their gazelles running forward especially to counter. Never any build up or nice passing plays. Muscle your way through the herd and try to score on forcing mistakes and scoring with kickball counters.

If you press with 6, why would a defense take their sweet time building out from the back? They have a wide open half with only 2 people to defend it; they’re going to try to use that opportunity before it goes away.

No need to call it kickball. That’s just smart soccer.

I agree. Defense wins championships. At the World Cup level you see small teams and big teams playing defensively. Teams like Iran did it to Argentina and others. Italy won several championships mostly playing a defensive tactic.

That video shows how lucky the player got to score that goal. It’s not pretty soccer but it works.

I call it a right place, right time goal. Fun seeing such young players battling.
 
Blues vs. Surf this week. Most of us have these as the top 2 teams in the age group so it should be a fun one. Any video that can be posted will be much appreciated. Here's how I see this going.

Blues- Have been at the top since the beginning four years ago. Usually the most talented team when they take the field, but when they have gone up against opponents equally as talented they usually found a way. Rarely could a team match their toughness (physical and mental), athleticism, and physicality.
Surf- Most impressive team this year and it's not close. Won Surf Cup and Albion Cup, combined 16-0 score line in two league games so far. It seems that there are no chemistry issues with the girls coming together from different teams.

Prediction- We know what the Surf are. This all comes down to the Blues. In a tough matchup can they raise their game like they've done in years past? My guess is "no". For whatever reason this is a different team: Surf 3-0 Blues.

Thoughts?
