D3 Week 6 predictions

What up peeps? Yet another pole to keep our minds active!

Anyone want to lay odds on the number of games Meja ties?? Any predictions on scores this week? The board has been eerily quiet...I can almost hear the theme from Jaws as I go to the site to look.

I predict...rain, but if not, then...

DTN 0-Meja 0. Both solid teams. Both tend to play low scoring, close games...so probably 6-5...
SWW 2-Galaxy 0. SWW solid up the middle and defensively. Galaxy holding teams closer lately.
Solar W 1-DTN 1. DTN tired from Meja slugfest, Solar hangs in.
Feet 2-Mustangs 1. If Feet is awake they win. They are faster and hold the ball against a tough Mustangs team.
SG 3-SF 1. SG's offense has been sluggish, time for a break out game. SF tough, but not their day.

Also a question...Who is the biggest surprise to you this season? Mine, Meja, thought they would win more. They are getting points, but fewer goals than I expected.

sting west is playing flash not galaxy on 10/7

Awe, dod3, your predictions are insightful, but rain before the game can be a great equilizer. As wet, sloppy grounds slow the deer more than the bear, it also slows the soccer ball & the 12 yr old behind it! Assuming the field are wet...

DTN v MM: MM is rough bunch and a wet field will favor them in most games, but DTX can brawl and run. The matchups favor DTN, even in the rain.
DTX-1 MM-0. Yellow card-1

SWW v Flash: Its a better contest if the fields are dry, but they won't be. SWW is getting confidence. SW 2-1
DTN v SW: Texans get their 2nd win in 2 days, but itll be close, Dtn-1 SW-0
Feet v MS: Wet field benefit MS style of play, if game at Greenvile fields, I favor MS. But they are at RR, but MS still gets the tie: Feet-1 MS-1.

SG v SF: Last week SG earned big win, SF got ambushed early by a quickly improving SWW team. SG is favorite; SF has the tools, but hasn't figured out how to contain SGs FWs. SG: 2-0 SF.

So, how did it turn out?

SG 2-2 SF...SF definitely better than I have seen before. SG a little sluggish. SF had a good game plan to slow SG-keeper made 1 eye-popping save, and SF hit post on a shoulda-been goal. Pretty even overall.

Who else?

Feet - 3
Mustangs - 0

I believe the SG-SF game was a shock to SG with the way that SF came out and played. SF probably dominated 75% of the game with constant attacks on the SG defense. SG scored within the first 10 minutes of the game with a quick break away but after that it was all SF who then scored twice in the second half to put them back in the lead. SG only scored the equalizing goal in the 71st minute since the the center referee added 2 minutes of stoppage time to the end of the game due to the SG goalie getting injured. I believe that SF will be a team to watch as they are going to surprise a lot of teams out there.

DTN-1 Solar W- 0: solar played tuff, but Tx too much.
SF v SG: full surprises. Not sure how SF lost this one. Late SG goal tied gm.
Feet v MS: field was not wet; MS coach loud; Physical gm;
SW 2-0 flash: sting plays good all around gm.

Not sure how you saw 75% possession for SF, but they were definitely better than they have been. It was pretty even most of the game. SG keeper was injured on the second SF goal and stayed down for those two minutes plus. As I said, SF defintely better than they have been, but it was more even than a 75/25 game.
