Lightning Red
GOLD
Who will win it all this weekend?
I have to respectfully disagree with this. While I believe Surf is a very good team I do not believe they play better soccer than Slammers. Surf has what may be the best player on the pitch but Slammers seems to have the overall edge as a team, again only my opinion. I believe the last few matches Slammers have had the edge over Surf. Either way the four best teams are in the final and I wish them all luck.Out of the remaining four. Surf plays the best soccer, Slammers has the best team, Eagles has the best (Most impactful) player and Blues has the best pedigree for State Cup success.
The 4 best teams made it to the end. Surf did it again, but Slammers, Blues and Eagles are good enough to win
Surfs the best team, the last two state cups supports that statement. Under the amounts of pressure that comes with playing in state cup, Surf refuses to be dethrone. I will agree that the other teams are talented but not as talented as Surf. I think Surf showed their class this particular state cup with a target on their back. Every team always gives us their best shot and with their backs against the wall these girls always respond. Surfs not invincible and can be defeated but they are still the best team. They had some losses this year more than last year. From those of you that follow the 07 group very closely you know that field conditions(bad fields) can impact results and sometimes scorelines don’t tell the whole story. Scorlines won’t tell you that a team parked the bus after the opposing team got a good bounce and the ball found the goal. The way the coach approaches a particular gm can impact the scoreline as well. Maybe the coach decides that SCDSL will be developmental(going undefeated in SCDSL can be misleading because of this) with everyone getting equal playing time and not always the same girls starting. With that being said, yes the final was close(3-2) but Surf would never tie a team like Force(1-1). Force is a good team but they aren’t strong like Galaxy South Bay, Galaxy OC, Legends, Albion, Eagles, Slammers, Blues, Surf. Other teams are good but Surfs the best team.
You are correct, Surf is the best team at 10 years old for winning the tournament. They have won back to back State Cups and those little girls deserve all the credit. I do not however agree with you saying "other teams are talented but not as talented as Surf"?? As you know at this age and with 9 V 9 one girl can take over a gameSurfs the best team, the last two state cups supports that statement.
