I honestly can't wrap my head around how he improved so much with the mediocre training we had. So glad to hear he's doing well, hope he's able to stick with the team when they combine with the '02s next year.
Roflmao hahahah!

No domination either way. Pretty even for long stretches, but GS capitalized on mistakes for their 1st and 3rd goals. Their 2nd goal was top class. Galaxy had some chances in the 2nd half when it was still 2-1, but good goalkeeping and defending kept the ball out of the net. GS deserved the win.did Golden State dominated? was it a well played game?

Academy Game of the week is back up and running with score and comments. You can now posted your scores and comment for 06, 05, 04, 03, and 02.
So the two southwest 03 academy team Albion and LAUFA traveling over the weekends to take on the two Northwest MLS powerhouse teams Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers, it’s wasn’t a pretty one for Albion, on the other hand. LAUFA did pretty well, and i think if’ it’s wasn’t for the (3) set piece play for Seattle. LAUFA should easily came away with the double on Sunday. Anyway it was a good game and Credit to both teams playing in the rain. Soccer has a variety of types of set pieces. each type of set piece: the corner kick, goal kick, free kick, and penalty kick.

Get ready, uninitiated guys. That Showcase Kool Aid has a bitter aftertaste.SCHEDULE SET FOR 2018 DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY SUMMER SHOWCASE, PLAYOFFS AND CHAMPIONSHIP
Now that's some funny sh*t!!!Get ready, uninitiated guys. That Showcase Kool Aid has a bitter aftertaste.
After all is said and done, you will most likely find that most academy teams outside of Socal don't play soccer very well. You could have scrimmaged a few better (local) flight 2 teams for free. And don't hurt your neck looking for a "pro scout" watching your son showcase his talents at a meaningless game. Any real scout would know better, like hang out at playgrounds in Ghana.
"Featuring meaningful, hand-picked matchups..." That's straight-up bullshit. If your team is at the south end of the table those games will not be meaningful.
"All clubs are required to make their accommodations exclusively through Anthony Travel." Hilarious. The exclusive money making machine of the 2018 charade.
(Score Update)
03/ LAUFA Academy 1-0 Golden State Academy

So you go from playing with the best to playing with a team that doesn't even belong in USSDA???Golden State has been playing a lot & one of their starters has moved to Arsenal I heard so going to be intresting to see how they adjust. Close game /w last minute winner for Surf on Sunday.
Yeah we had a early game so stopped by to watch the late 03' game since know players on both sides:
Game was a lot of stop and go, the LA Team more procession especially 1st half but had trouble converting.
Golden State looked different (missing a forward or some offensive player) almost like they were tired or not really wanting to play or pass around like I've seen in the past.
Center Referee seemed to be delaying or calling a lot late for some reason and forgetting about his AR? Both coaches were not happy with all the pushing, grabbing ,etc but when the GS coached shouted one two many fbombs & complaints he was warned with ejection but still continued.
2nd Half opened up a bit around the time subs where brought on, LA started to attact a bit more scored and had a couple near mises. GS had some chances with there share of free kicks but the LA defense and teamwork where good.
