That's it. Bring Carlsbad into it. Now how about something regarding SC Blues, maybe Fram?

Watched (skipped through) SC blues v solar Chelsea today. Not sure what to make of that game. The ball was in the air a whole lot. Former team played v SC blues in CRL (they hung 10 on us) I know they can pass the ball around like a pro team, but that game today was tough to watch. Anyway. I will always cheer for a SoCal team in national competition.
Well what is all this talk of Legends, Arsenal, Surf... I thought the local I.E. "Elite" club was in San Juan Capistrano anyway...

Wow! This is sickening. The two coaches should be fired from their respective clubs and have their coaching licenses suspended for a year. The two teams should have to forfeit their "tie" and vacate the points earned.
If the kids want to play, send them to a park.
I agree with both coaches here. They are trying to win the tournament.
Joking? WIN! There was no cheating, no crime, no unkindness. Just a strategy to win the tournament.

I just read US Soccer is re-activating the boys residency program. I guess after a decade of Boys DA and still no super star, maybe Pulisic....then again he had to move to Dortmund at 16 years of age.
IMO, a US Soccer residency program is the BEST way to develop future national team players and potential pro soccer players. They are taking only the ELITE players who want to play professionally. They need to keep the players they want in the program, until they decide to cut the player for someone better. This way, the players get a compounding development effect.
They need to start a program for the girls too! Then all the leagues are just that club soccer leagues!

Normally, I like SoCal teams as winners, but Blues Baker played kick ball for most of this game. I mean, I can count the number of 3-pass connected sequences on just 1 hand. And what's with the double cartwheels after Blues' first goal? Very glad to see the Chelsea team come back to beat Blues for the U13 Championship.

Can you do a pivot table and show commitments by club? I guess there is an app for that, but thought you might post.
Also look how USNews ranks. Use Forbes.
USNews uses
Money spent/student = more expensive building adds to rank, as well as matching their ratios of race.
Forbes uses - Will they learn, will the succeed, will they make the money.
USNews excludes the Service Academies. West Point, Navy, USAFA (and the other two) - not there. Although those grads have a higher mid career pay than Princeton.
What makes that more interesting is the Princeton/Stanford - group go in with higher grades and test scores. 15 years later the average they achieve is less pay, let alone the other parts. And US News excludes them.

Beach had a Stanford and Blues had a University of Chicago in that time frame also (2016 grads) just to add to your list.-- I agree with your sentiment.

While I understand your point, these are top educational schools. I bet USSF only cares about the top soccer schools. That list might be the same, though. I don't know.

It is surprising how well they correlate. The soccer school ranking do change 10-20 spots each year or two, but in general they are the same.
Who am I missing that are in both besides?
Duke, ND, Stanford, UNC, Virginia
This group I think need to make final four a few more times to be "both"
UCLA and USC

UNC on the academic side is suspect....
