They finally got to play at their level. Unfortunately, this is only possible without their sophisticated coach JH, lol. coaches are to help players, but sometimes or actually many times in DA, coaches mess up players/teams.

Seems last few months Surf coach change has messed up 2005 DA teams chemistry......... NOT as STRONG as when Benoit was running the show IMO;

LAG 05 did not pick up new players, they actually lost 1 player a forward that went back to LAUFA , the 06 did pick up 4 strong players from Paramount FC.

Emilio I completely agree with you, I watched most of the LAG games and the team looked a lot better without their Coach, substitute coach did a really good Job. LAG has a really talented group of kids hopefully they keep most of the group together it will be very interesting to see them working with a different coach.
I was referring to the 2006 group. They picked up 3 from PFC and two from other clubs. Thanks

LAG starting Center back was suspended for the semi-finals, he got a second yellow card at the end of the game against Sporting KC fouling a forward on a break away(1 v 1 against the Golie) that could of cost the game for LAG . I believe they were using a forward as a center back against Monterey.

had heard that LAG had a couple of guest players, just for the tournament. that not accurate?

That will be a hard task man.
1. I don't think LAG staff will keep the same roster (they always get new players every season to justify their repetitive mistakes, regardless the new coach every seaosn)
2. I don't think all the players will stay. Some of them already started to knock other club doors
I would have to agree with you. LAG has the most aggressive roster at this time. I personally believe that LAG has better quality players than LAFC for example. It is just a horrible coaching/management = development

Great job Michelle Romero!!
what an awesome performance of your club team "OC Surf". Poor clubs create poor teams.

I am sorry. but yes, I am mad. It's not about OC Surf team, they aren't guilty to have the level they have. It's the people picking them to this high-level competition
TFA would have done a better performance.

Best team performances:
07's LAFC - they clearly showed they are the most talented and deepest team. They have assembled a super team! and congrats to the boys for winning the tournament.
07's TFA - they keep reloading, after losing several players to LAFC and LA Galaxy they showed they are still a team to be reckon with. It did help to see that coach Willie has taken over this team and has immediately brought his winning ways to the team.
06's TFA - they are in a class by themselves, they dominated some of the best teams . Made Surfs team look small ( if you haven't seen them I was amazed with the size of this team and can see why they are the team to beat in the south division) Totally controlled and beat up Xolos to take the title.
06's LA Galaxy - could tell that they added some size and athleticism to team. They performed well and had momentum heading into Semi finals vs xolos but fell apart once they gave up a goal. but overall they did well and are getting better.
05's LA Galaxy came away looking like they have regained some of that steam they where generating early on in the season . they beat a real good Sporting KC and lost to Monterrey in a classic game they came up the big winners

Clearly a TFA parent and homer! Enjoy your '06 kid while he is still playing and don't worry about them apparently being "in a class by themselves."
Did WD actually take over the 07 team? I heard otherwise. 06 TFA looked great and completely agree with 07 LAFC team. 06 Galaxy looked a lot better than they have recently.
Way after the fact, but new to this site and reading old threads. Man City has a school year team. So, everyone was right - mostly 05’s, but still smaller than other teams because the Man City kids were much younger.
I saw the same Man City team at an overseas event last year.
