What a grind. There has been a razor thin margin of error for all teams that extended to the 4 quarterfinal games. Two 1-0 games and two 0-0 games that went to PK's. In 34 total games including quarterfinals, a team scored 3 or more goals in the game just 3 times. Our Force girls had two ties and 6 points after the first day. In their 4 games, they were ahead at the end of regulation once. I guess that's one recipe to get to the semi's at Surf Cup.

I think there has been so much talk about MVLA, that Deanza might just come out and upset the belle of the ball. If any team can match their pace and how they spread the field it would be Deanza. You rarely see a nor cal team in the semis at the younger age groups for So Cal tournaments, however these two teams are the exception and will be a FORCE to be reckoned with for years to come. I have Deanza beating MVLA!!! Any thoughts on the Slammers vs. Surf game?
After watching both teams play several games this weekend, their style of play is very similar and players are all technically sound. MVLA is my pick to win it all as I think they have a few more girls that are more athletic at this point and can be more dangerous then Deanza. I think Surf will take the other semi but MVLA wins it all which will be well deserved as they will have had the toughest road for sure of the four remaining teams. But who knows this age group has so many good teams that are evenly matched, these games could come down to pks. Good luck to all the teams today.
Congrats to MVLA - they were class all weekend. Hope all the girls and parents enjoyed their time together. Although this was definitely not our finest hour, had a great time with my DD. Also great to see some old friends and meet some new ones. Good to meet you, Tech! We'll do it all again this weekend at West Coast...
I met a ton of nice people this weekend, before and after tough games. The soccer family is truly special and embracing of one another, see everyone at CRL!

Kicker4Life introduced me to practically the entire Beach sideline, everyone was so sweet. I hope they're as nice when we meet up at CRL!

Congratulations to MVLA. It was a great run to win Surf Cup capped off by beating the host team. Very impressive.
Funny part is All of Kicker's friends are cool...... so what the hell happened to kicker.
Obvious choice is Arsenal, who looked extremely competitive once again at this age group. CRL league is still very young and I see them moving up the standings in no time if they field the same roster that they did at Surf Cup.
Galaxy SB is currently at the top of the table and will frustrate a lot of teams but unless they start scoring more, I think they'll slide somewhere near the middle of the table.

Great experience for our girls and great perspective for them to work and develop over the year to prepare for our next SoCal trip, with only having a month together under our belt as a team (we signed 7/1) it was a great bonding experience for them.
Was good to meet some of the SoCal parents too. I got a chance to talk to several from several clubs. I unfortunately couldn't find Tech. Sorry sir!
Even my son got to work as a Referee both Saturday and Sunday which was a great experience for him.
Hopefully we will see a few SoCal teams in North Texas events. Dallas International Girls Cup, Premier Supercopa or one of the Jr ECNL events in Texas region or the Jr ECNL event in SC in May.

I saw your girls playing a bit on the first day. It was great to watch and I was very impressed with their skill. I'd love for our De Anza team to get to Texas for a tournament or two - as long as it's October through April ;-). Thanks for coming to California and Surf Cup and helping to make it the amazing showcase of talent that it is.
