here's predicts and actuals so far for this weekend. home teams are listed first.
Los Angeles:
Predict: Legends 2 vs Santa Barbara SC 2
Actuals: Legends 3 vs Santa Barbara SC 1 (per the game report, Santa Barbara SC gave up a quick goal at the beginning of the game and then had a tough final ten minutes)
Predict: Real SoCal 0 vs LA Galaxy 2
Actuals: Real SoCal 0 vs LA Galaxy 3 (Real SoCal were missing a couple of players for this game)
Predict: LAUFA 5 vs Pateadores 1
Actuals: LAUFA 2 vs Pateadores 2 (Good on the Pats for pulling out the tie. Been a tough season, and they got a decent result against a good team.)
Predict: FC Golden State 0 vs LAFC 3
Actuals: FC Golden State 1 vs LAFC 4
Here's comments from Red Card on how the game went: "It was 3-0 at halftime. LAFC kept the pressure on on the 1st half holding FCGS to no shots on goal. Things opened up a bit in the 2nd half for FCGS and finally got one in but LAFC got another one."
From BJ18: "Actually, two shots the first half. One was a beautifully struck free kick that hit the post and the second was about 25 yards out, struck well too, but right at the keeper. Good game!"
San Diego:
Predict: Strikers 5 vs SDSC 1
Actuals: Strikers 6 vs SDSC 0 (per MimiV42)
Nomads vs LAGSD was postponed.
Los Angeles:
Predict: Legends 2 vs Santa Barbara SC 2
Actuals: Legends 3 vs Santa Barbara SC 1 (per the game report, Santa Barbara SC gave up a quick goal at the beginning of the game and then had a tough final ten minutes)

I stand corrected. That free kick goal post shot was in the 1st half. The 2nd half was better for FCGS.

My son joined in late October so I'm still learning who's who on the team, but I think couple of new players played this past weekend.

Favor to ask. Have been posting a variety of things. It's all interesting to me and relatively easy to do. But, I don't want to waste people's time and clutter up the forum with information that is not useful. In the poll below, there's a number of ideas for post. If you could vote on what you prefer, that would be helpful. Thanks! Feliz Navidad!

Here's results from this weekend:
Predict: LAFC 2 vs LA Galaxy 0
Actuals: LAFC 2 vs LA Galaxy 0
Pateadores vs Real SoCal was rescheduled.
We don't live too far from Cal State LA and got to watch the first half of the game. LAFC was clearly dominant in this first half. It was interesting to me as I have watched LAG before and thought they played much better than what we saw tonight. Maybe the second half they stepped it up. Both teams have tons of talent--great to watch.

Per soccerisfun, sounds like invites have gone out to 05 boys for the next USSDA trancing camp. Here's what was posted on another thread:
"Anybody have any more information or a list on the Western regional camp coming up in January for the U14s? I know a few Surf players got the invite. Anybody else get word?" from soccerisfun

For this weekend (1/19 & 1/20). Home team is listed first. Caveat for the predicts for this weekend's games. US Soccer is hosting their u14 Western Camp (i.e. try-outs for the national team) from the 17th to the 21st so a number of quality players won't be at games. (btw, best of luck to all the socal players. everybody in socal is rooting for you guys)
Los Angeles:
TFA 5 vs LAUFA 2
yes, yes, LAUFA beat TFA last time 4-1. But the algorithm says what it says.
Pats 1 vs Legends 3
be interesting to see if the Legends' big central defender (d-mid?) got called up to camp. Without him, bet Legends have a tougher time w/ the Pats than would be expected)
FC Golden State 2 vs Santa Barbara SC 2
both teams maybe have a player who might be at the camp, and likely have a big dependency on these players. Plus, FC Golden State recently added three new solid players to their roster and, in addition, have been improving significantly over the course of the season (eg, FCG beat TFA 2-0 in their last 2018 match).
Net net, although the teams tied last time they played, this match could be a blow-out for FCG. Forecasting the results from how much FCG/SBSC has improved/declined puts the final score at 5-1 FCG. On the other hand, Santa Barbara SC may match up well which may be why the two teams tied the first time out.
San Diego:
San Diego Surf 6 vs Albion 1
SD Surf probably has 3 to 5 players called up for the camp and has a significant dependency on these players. For example, the last time two of these players were not rostered earlier this season, SD Surf tied LAGSD 4-4.
Also, Albion has generally done a good job of keeping games closer than one might expect. Would bet this match - if key SD Surf players aren't available - is a lot closer than forecasted.
Nomads 1 vs Strikers 4
The two '05 Strikers who have been playing up may get called to the camp, but these players have been playing up for a while now, so this likely won't affect the forecast.
San Diego SC 0 vs LAGSD 3
______________
Here's two charts showing FC Golden State's rate of improvement this season. Pretty impressive. The three newest players have only played one match so their impact on these improvements is nominal right now.
