Surf cup sports you mean! Listen I am all for it. Connerly and company do a great job, a great product and I know it can cost but it's the best every time. I am happy for their success and for the location! I know they get a lot of grief but I was ecstatic to see this and happy for their success

Another has come into the light!
Aww shucks. Only took me five years
From lurking in the 04 forum, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Surf team that won 11-1 is the B team as the DA team is in Kansas or Texas or wherever playing in the USYS National Finals.

From also lurking on the 04 forum, I saw that Burlingame team is a flight 2/3 level team. I would expect a much different result tomorrow if it is in fact surf B playing against solar.
Somebody has to pull Burlingame's DA card already, they are getting blown out all over the place. They've been outscored 30-1 in 3 games in the 04, 03, & 01/02 DA games. Damn!
It's development. Winning doesn't matter.
Why do you bother? Ugh...
Losing 11-0 isn't development. Nor is 8-0, or 11-1.
Development comes from an environment that is the correct level for the girls to be competitive in and still execute what they are working on on their practice field. NOT an 11-0 slaughter that only puts down their confidence, and prohibits the girls on the losing side to try much of anything and were probably spending more time focusing on not having to take the ball out of the net again rather than their skills on the field.
How is a 11-0 game meaningful or develop anybody who was on that field, winning side or losing?
I'm starting to regret even replying ...
To E. Yes. Never reply.
Well the good news is this is only Surf Cup. I am looking forward to seeing how Surf gracefully navigates winning their Natty tomorrow at u14 to a team they slaughtered 8-0 on Monday. Will we see 30 passes before a goal? Will we see a mercy rule? Once they get to 3-0 will they have to play with lefts only?
So maybe instead of lamenting about DA we should question a National championship where every team other than our stars doesn't belong there.
Ahh the questions ..

Did you see the game?
I would be curious as to what happened. I know in one game a lot of youngers were playing up and there was the typical hit to forward action. I don't care much for scores- anything more than 3-0 is usually a really horrible game anyway
The NorCal teams at 04 are awesome. MVLA is incredible! Deza took everyone to Earthquakes so they are going to be great. If you like soccer the videos of Surf vs MVLA last year are great to watch or have your daughter watch! Highly suggest
@davin and @kickingandscreaming are the best to answer. The Thorns are non stop marketing geniuses on social media and Brandi Chastain is coaching them. Brand new affiliated with MLS.

The Thorns are the De Anza Force's GDA
I was actually expecting all of the Earthquake teams to put up double digits. My niece has a friend on one of the older teams and drives a distance for the Quakes and I know boys in SF that have been driving to SJ for DA teams. MVLA stayed ECNL? I was just wondering what clubs did Thorns players come from?
