04 Girls - Week 8 SDL Scores

Fathead68 wrote:This game wasn't nearly as close as the score might suggest. It was 4-0 for the majority of the game....my 2 cents only...

Looking at the game as a whole, it seemed the LP kids had the ball the majority of the game and were trying to play attractive soccer. Aces had a very big, fast forward who could not be caught by the little legs of the LP girls. Once the starters were back in, LP got back in their rhythm pretty quickly. A fun game to watch of two contrasting styles.

Agreed. The Dalglish starting 7 in the first half did not give up a goal and was able to move the ball into the attacking third quite a bit with some pretty good ball movement. Several scoring chances resulted, just could not get it in the net. Aces keeper made several nice saves too

Not sure what game you were all watching but I saw something completely different. The score was actually 2-0 at half and Aces had many more scoring opportunities that "just did not get in the net" either. Aces has a very strong team and does not lean on any one or two players. LP was outplayed....period. Aces was the better team!

Aces were alot of kick and run use their speed. There is a difference between that and ball movement. Noone said Aces were not the better team in that game either.

No...my dd was in goal the first half and it was 1-0(LW won't allow her to play more than a half in goal). Only goal scored in first half was on a corner! But, you guys got up on us and it was nice to see our girls respond to the adversity and come back the way that they did! If we would of converted our 1 free kick iit would of been very interesting last couple of minutes. We will meet again...maybe in your Aces Tourney! It was nice playing you guys...you guys are good!

Oh and believe me as a goalie parent you keep an accurate count of the goals! We are on pins and needles the whole game!

Definitely 1-0 at HT.

I think the LP girls will learn a lot from that one. Got caught on the break a lot and were not defending as a unit. Hats-off to the ACES girls, they were fast. However, if the LP girls keep to the coaches philosophy and improve on their passing they certainly have the technical ability to do well in the future. Nice comments JJ, especially coming from somebody who actually knows the game and how it should be played. We know how good your team(s) is from past experience, coached the proper way.

Another note, how BAD are the referees this season?!?! I know its a thankless job, but we have seen Refs who do not even have a basic understanding of the off-side rule, surely SDL has to do something about this.

lol! yeah, SOMEBODY got in trouble over that free kick. That kick more than likely goes upper 90 by either one of them if the hammer heads werent fighting over who was taking it. Oh well, they learned from it

I agree that both teams had missed scoring opportunities, both are very fast and I will even say the reffing was questionable on both sides. But if you choose to play up, I wouldn't ever use the age difference as an excuse. That's the reason you CHOSE to play up so that you could play teams that would provide you some competition. Maybe we will have future opportunities to play each other. I think we can just all agree that it was an exciting game to watch and that the better team for this week won.

Maybe we will see ya'll in Div 2 next season!...

We are more than happy with a 7-1 season, the girls were great!

Agreed!

actually the game was played in aces own half most of the time until subs were made and from that point the game changed and LP was in over it's head. As LW started to bring his starting group back in is when the game changed again and LP scored their 2 goals. Shot count and possesion were not close as LP took both but aces took what counts and thats the win. They actually have 3 very impressive girls with the most being the small fast one. Very quick with the ball. From their it was basic boot it up from the back and let the big girls win the ball. The game to watch must have been aces v juve. Their big girls up top v juve and their big girls on defense. Next season will be interesting as this game showed that several girls on the LP team are in over their head with the tougher teams. Many of the girls should play d2 next season but some would not have a fun year there. It was a fun game. The girls played hard and lost which is good for them. I will pat myself on the back and say I called a daglish loss this season. LW stuck to his substitutions and everyone got their playtime regardless of the game and the outcome. It's easy to say you don't care about wins and it's about development. It is much harder to stick to it even in the face of an impending loss. Kudos to the coach, the loss sucks but glad everyone played plenty. Not sure he can stay competative in D2 or higher withought grouping more of his top girls (beardsley, keegan). I am sure he has a plan though to put them in the best situation for next season..

I dont think anyone is using age as an excuse. At this age, sometimes the age and speed of some older teams can be the difference maker. Thats all part of playing up, and I dont have a problem with that. And again, for this team, getting the W yesterday would have been nice but not the overall goal. It was a great game for them and they learned from it. I hope most of the games in the future are more like this one.
Yes, hopefully see you in D2!

Just need the last 2 scores:


Solar Hollis vs Cosmos
Aces Red 04 vs Dallas Texans 05 White

Anyone from Aces on this board?
Anyone from Solar Hollis?

Throw me a bone.

Hats off to LP on a great season. I am even more impressed that the coach stuck to playing his full bench in the last game of the season.

In my opinion (just mine) LP had the better "team" structure. Not just 1 player stood out above the rest. Aces had #29 who was huge for them. Take her away from that team against LP, we could be talking different results. Oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda....

When it is all said and done, the better team won. Period.

JJ, Just to be clear, our coach played his full bench too. LP didn't score until the middle of the second half. How do you explain that?

That is when he started bringing the starting group back in as per his normal substitution routine. I am also not stating that LP would have won if he did not make the subs but they would have been more competative. The change was instant but he did stick to letting the girls have their playtime and try to compete under adversity. Now the girls understand the bar for next season and knowing how competative these little girls are I would expect practice to be intense

why do you feel the need to deliver a backhanded compliment? can you not compliment the team that won and leave it at that? take away the best player on any team, in any sport and we could be talking different results. fact is #29 was there. fact is aces won. what are your credentials to offer your opinion regarding the superior "team" structure? quit making excuses and espousing unqualified opinions. just asking, but are you a parent that ever stepped on a pitch before your oldest kid did for the first time? what makes you qualified to offer an opinion that anyone should read and trust?

Hey Sparky, I have a coaches licence, so does that mean my opinion counts more than yours?

I think it depends on if your license came from a brand name cereal box or off-brand.

Nice comments JJ, especially coming from somebody who actually knows the game and how it should be played. We know how good your team(s) is from past experience, coached the proper way.

Another note, how BAD are the referees this season?!?! I know its a thankless job, but we have seen Refs who do not even have a basic understanding of the off-side rule, surely SDL has to do something about this.

Hats off to LP on a great season. I am even more impressed that the coach stuck to playing his full bench in the last game of the season.

In my opinion (just mine) LP had the better "team" structure. Not just 1 player stood out above the rest. Aces had #29 who was huge for them. Take her away from that team against LP, we could be talking different results. Oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda....

When it is all said and done, the better team won. Period.

why do you feel the need to deliver a backhanded compliment? can you not compliment the team that won and leave it at that? take away the best player on any team, in any sport and we could be talking different results. fact is #29 was there. fact is aces won. what are your credentials to offer your opinion regarding the superior "team" structure? quit making excuses and espousing unqualified opinions. just asking, but are you a parent that ever stepped on a pitch before your oldest kid did for the first time? what makes you qualified to offer an opinion that anyone should read and trust?

Nope. You're right. I am in no way qualified to give an opinion on a game I watched. My apologies to Aces, LP and especially you Sparky!!

Can someone please let me know when the next training class will be? I would like to get the certification that allows you to be a pollster like Sparky on txsoccer.net

I believe that certification is next week. It follows the panty bunching certification class. Which I believe some people have already taken

I got my panties in a wad certification last year. Turtoe gave that class. He is a great instructor.
