I was at that game too and she got megged in that game as did the other Trojan centerback. Check the game film it is on YouTube. The game was very onesided as most of $C's shots were in the last 10 minutes of the game. I would say that the game this year was closer. Next season is going to be a severe "cleansing" if you know what I mean. If the rumors about the lineup are true I am looking forward to it.

The end of last year's game would suggest I affirm that "cleansing" you're speaking of if SC didn't bring in some serious athletes to defend the wings. UCLA is only going to be faster and stronger this year and with next's years commits they will get even more track star speed combined with size and skills. Scary few years. Hope mine can continue that trend.

On the megging - being a defender in the sports I played, my mindstate is you could be all fancy, but did you get the shot/pass off and did they get to where you want them too? If the answer is no, keep megging and I'll keep you from being effective. I know the CB we're speaking of thinks the same. Her partner? No clue.

I don't think the program as exists is what US Soccer planned.

I think "unicorn" as it is used here refers to players who are obvious standouts.

In defense of the people who need no defense because they will do whatever they please whenever they please.....

The age group unbanding and rebanding has been the issue for the past 3 seasons. The system changes over the last few years have crushed the norm in the girls game.

Be forewarned - the age group changes are just temporary. Have you seen the bio-banding initiative? This has already started in 4 DA clubs this past weekend. If anyone has any info on the results and reactions let us know.

I didn't quite understand your first paragraph but $C has nothing that will bother UCLA much this upcoming season or next. The next few years could be rough for the rivalry. $C can bring in anybody they want they are still far behind the top SoCal destination for top players and with how their coach allocates scholarship money they will never have enough top players to beat UCLA until that changes.

Regarding the megging. I know the player that did the megging and she is better than any midfielder in North America and that includes anyone on the US WNT. You really should look at the film of the game so that you can have an idea of the abject terror your favored player was in (what top defenders get megged in games?). And yes she got the shot off and this year was runner up for the MAC Hermann and will be favored to win it the next two years (if one of her teammates doesn't win it).

You are barking up the wrong tree on this one @C.A.M. I've watched every game $C has played over the last 3 years other than maybe a couple. FYI, UCLA has lost just one game in the playoffs since the 2016 recruiting class arrived (#1 in the nation) and they will be juniors this year. I am not sure exactly what you mean by I hope mine continues that trend but if your player has the chops to get offered a scholarship by the Bruins, especially in the next couple of years, then my hat is off to her.

Good luck to you and your player.

Yes, please, would love to know which clubs started bio-banding.

We wear blue and gold at our house. Read my first paragraph with that in mind. I'm expecting for SC to get ran over for a very long time.
 
I believe Anaheim Surf was the first club to try BioBanding last year, on their way to trying to win State Cup. It wasn't called Bio Banding back then though, it was called "playing over-aged players," I think is the correct term.
 
Can we all start an initiative that all the DA games are live streamed on YouTube?

LAGSD GDA does this and it is fantastic (great job guys). Great quality - I believe 1080p and (no announcers work for me - you hear the players and coaches). I would really like to see my kids play and we are always split apart. Our club is lagging on putting up the games.

Which club? DD plays at LAGSD and relatives like to watch the LiveStream games. I have been surprised that our away games are not LiveStreamed by the hosting clubs. I'm talking to you SC Del Sol. We have to trek all the way out to Phoenix for a league game, and you guys can't even broadcast the games? One more reason to kick Phoenix out and stay in SoCal for league games.

Del Sol does not broadcast the games because they spend their time being derogatory and berating the players through the run of play. Another fun fact. Del Sol removes the sound from all the games recorded so there is no evidence of their comments to players. If it is unusually bad, they won't post the game at all.

I was wondering why there is no sound.

We use Parascope....free and all you need is a parent willing to broadcast from their phone.

One more fun fact. How many times do you think the del sol coaches have used game film during any training session this past year? The answer is never for the aforementioned reason.

So your kid hasn't done well at del Sol and you are bitter. As you said before... shouldn't you go back to the AZ side? Something about blather?

Don't be mad because you are an idiot. Blame your parents.

You can think what you want but what I posted is the truth. Homer.
 
Well I just want to be able to watch my kids play and we always have to split. I'd be ok if the teams actually posted the game films after, but my boys club hasn't since the first game and my girls club stopped 2-3 months ago. If it is live streamed to YouTube we can either catch the game or replay it later. I watched the Blues vs LAGSD 2003s that way on the suggestion of a friend. It was a real competitve game. Fun to see.

Can you post a link to that game. I am curious as to what the level of play looks like. Mine is a '98 so these are players that I would have never seen play.
