How's your girl's 09 season going?

[MARsSPEED]

Interesting predictions. While I agree on the teams in the final I don’t see PA beating Cruz (anyone knows their matchup record?). They will all be 4 very good games for sure.
Rain is however once again a wild card...

Rain in SoCal? Hmmm, time to play some Tony Toni Tone.

As for the matchup, last match I see is PA took the win 2-1 in August of 2018

They tied in first round of state cup 2-2

Definitely going to be a change with 9v9...but we can't play 7v7 forever. Hard to believe a few years ago before the US Soccer small sided initiative that u-littles started out playing 11v11. I like the initiative with players starting at 7v7 then transitioning to 9v9 and finally 11v11.

The above points are valid...but hopefully girls have been on a team where they actually tried to work on possession and team play. Bad coaches that promote kickball will always have teams that play kickball regardless of whether they're playing 7v7 or 11v11. Teams that play good passing/combination play soccer will be more successful over the long run.

The thing about transitioning to 9v9 is most clubs use the same fields as the 7v7 so it does bog the game down a bit with 2 more field players. Now if they adjusted the size accordingly, that would make sense and probably make the 7 to 9 to 11 transition more meaningful.

In the words of Coach Rudy T. “Never underestimate the heart of a champion”: Eagles 3 - Slammers Cruz 1 in the first semifinal...

 

[Venantsyo]

And PA won 4-0 in the other semifinal so tomorrow Eagles- Slammers for the final. CSL vs SCDSL showdown

 

[ludahxris]

Can Eagles make it back to back Champs?!

 

[Soccerdude55]

I will bet the house Pete will crush eagles. Final score 6-1.

I will bet the house Pete will crush eagles. Final score 6-1.

Well, they are the clear favorite now, but I doubt it will be so easy....

 

[Venantsyo]

In the meantime, in the other divisions we have the following finals:

MAYOR: Nado vs Freedom

GOVERNOR: Legends West White vs Santa Barbara Elite

Good luck to all!

I called it! It's going to be great to play against the back to back defending State Cup champs in league next year . Way to go Eagles! Great job on winning League and State Cup!

 

[Venantsyo]

Also congratulations to Freedom FC and Legends FC West for coming out on top of Mayor and Governor!

You got that wrong great game, Slammers Aguirre are a very good team, and classy parents.

Slammers Aguirre should hold their heads high, it was a great game, the Eagles came to win and proved it against both slammers teams.

Great job Eagles

Wow. Thought Slammers would win. Congrats to Eagles.

Great tourney for Eagles, congrats! Not to take anything away from them, I heard Slammers PA had numerous kids with the Flu, unfortunate break during a almost two month time from start to finish of state cup. I always thought state cup should end by each year end.
