LP Elite was a tough first match. They came out in the first half and won every 50-50 ball. We dug an early 2-goal hole, and couldn't turn it all the way around - but we did play a solid second half and had some chances. I thought for sure they were just playing boot and run kickball, but figured out it is definitely by design. Those forwards sit on that line and time those kicks. I haven't seen a lot of teams around here play like that, but it was effective. It put a ton of pressure on our defenders to haul back. Very good team. Maybe we can have a rubber match in a few months.
Sting Hilton was also very good. Much better possession team, strong in the midfield. Our girls were told all day that the game was win or go home. This was one game they came ready for from the whistle. The String H. team will do some damage though. A couple of very good players, and the tall blond in the middle is something else. I watched her almost single-handedly take down LP Sunday morning. Really is a shame about the bracket because I am pretty sure this team would have made quarterfinals in the other brackets.
Crazy Azul - probably not much more to be said here. Honestly I think the weekend just caught up to them by Sunday morning. Anytime you travel for hours and have it handed to you, it starts to burn a little. Parents were frustrated, kids were frustrated, and it just boiled over. Not a bad team by any stretch, but they talked a lot of crap for a team that went 0-fer.
FCD gold - I don't know how to judge this team. We came out flat in the beginning again and they punched us in the mouth. Had some incredible runs right through the teeth of our defense, and kept the pressure turned up high. I thought FOR SURE this team would advance and win the tourney. They seemed solid top to bottom. Another game where our girls picked up the intensity and started playing better late in the game - but it was a little too late. I've heard LP has this teams number, but that's the best team I remember seeing since we played DTS nearly two years ago.
**The views expressed above are just those of a single parent on the team. They do not represent the coach, or any of the other parents. And for the record, I grew up a wrestler, so I don't really know anything about soccer anyway
Great soccer. The 03 age is DEEP and talented. Looking forward to doing it again.
