Just got back from the fields and the hospital to visit our teammate. Preliminary x-rays indicated no break but she may have a torn or strained ACL. She and her family are in good spirits and are thankful since it could have been more catastrophic.

Thanks, Tech. My predictions, fwiw:

2-0 Beach
2-1 Draluck
1-0 Eagles
1-2 Strikers

Based on what I've seen in this age group this past year, it's very hard to disagree with this prediction.

I'm still a bit stunned that LAGSB Elite and Surf are out. Aside from Strikers those are the two teams I fear the most.

tech any upset specials?

Tough to say, at this point they're all pretty even.

I do think the National Cup winner comes from the bracket housing Beach vs. Galaxy SD & Blues vs. Blues.

RSC over Eagles would be the biggest upset in this round. I'll go out on a limb and call that one, RSC has a solid team and a forward capable of causing an upset.

Quarter-Finals
Beach - LB vs. Galaxy - SD
Blues - Draluck vs. Blues - Kale
Eagles vs. Real So Cal
Legends vs. Strikers OC

For Beach/LAGSD, I just think Beach's midfield is too fast, skilled and tough to overcome. I say Beach wins easily, but gives up a late one. Final 3-1.

For Legends/Strikers, Legends will need to keep the score down to have a chance. I say Legends' goalie keeps it close with Strikers up 1-0 for most of the game. Final is 3-0 after Legends puts everyone forward to get the equalizer and they get burned by Strikers' speed a couple times.

I've never seen Eagles or Kale play, so I can't really opine about those games. But I do have a question: Is Kale technically the B team at Blues? Or have Kale and Draluck just always been sister teams wherein Draluck achieved more success at younger ages?
 
From what I've heard a few times is that Draluck and Kale are both considered A teams by the club and that they do not move players from one team to the other and they build upon what they have as separate entities. But this is hearsay, so it may not be completely accurate.
From experience playing both teams and looking at score lines, they are pretty even and I could see their match up on Saturday going either way. I'm sure it will be a very close and competitive match.
