Surf Cup Is Happening! Schedule is up!

who did they lose to?
Yikes, I can’t remember. It was the year most all were leaving for college, just returning from losing to Michigan Hawks in the finals of Nationals. Half the team wasn’t there for obvious reasons. Came close to the unblemished record but wasn’t meant to be.

PS, we beat the Hawks the next year in the finals of U19 Nationals 7-2. That felt good!
 
Somewhere right now, there's a Hawaiian family boarding an airplane and are nervously wondering if this was really such a good idea!

Special Sunday Proposition Bet:

- Hawaii Rush B07, their first game Sunday, playing at 6AM local Hawaiian time, will they score a goal? No -400 / Yes +325

Classic Face smack bro. I knew a dad who had a goat from Hawaii. He was originally from San Diego so he would make the trip a twofer trip. See his parents and get his goat in some tough competition in da states brah. Again, you seem to be judging. Let each to his own coach :)
 
It's that time again -- time for your Surf Cup 2020 proposition bets!

As always, all bets have action unless one or more events is cancelled, in which case all bets are refunded.

Over/unders:
  1. Number of referees and Surf Cup tournament officials to test positive for Covid before January 14: O/U 1.5
  2. Number of 1-0 forfeits from team no-shows: O/U 2.5
  3. Number of post-tournament headlines in Arizona newspapers before January 14, of a parent of a player testing positive: O/U 1.5
Who will have more?
  1. Total number of clean sheets in the tournament, vs. number of family arguments Dec 27-28 that contain the words "I knew we shouldn't have come!". For action, a 1-0 forfeit does not count as a clean sheet. Clean sheets -150 / Arguments +135
  2. Total score of the 2020 Alamo Bowl, played December 29, vs. total score of all Surf Cup finals December 29. In the event of the Alamo Bowl being cancelled due to Covid, all bets will be refunded. All finals -10.5 -110 / Alamo Bowl +9.5 -110
  3. Total goals plus yellow cards in the Chelsea-Aston Villa match December 28, vs. number of Hawaiian teams who show up to Surf Cup. Goals + cards -1.5 -110 / Hawaiians +1.5 -120
  4. Total goals scored in all Surf Cup games December 29, vs. total number of "kids don't spread covid" posts on the forum December 29. Posts even -110 / Goals scored even -110
And a special multi-team parlay:
  • Choose as many states from this list as you want: Texas, Washington, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Georgia, Colorado, Oklahoma, Illinois
  • The total number of goals by teams from the states that you choose must exceed the total number of Orange County covid deaths-per-100k-residents as documented by the LA Times.
  • All 9 states goals exceed the deaths-per-100k: -450 / 8 states goals: -300 / 7 states goals: -250 / 6 states goals: -180 / 5 states goals: -120 / 4 states goals: +110 / 3 states goals: +150 / 2 states goals: +200 / 1 states goals: +700
Enjoy and good luck to all!
Wow! Didn't realize every parent, child, coach, referee and all their contacts are being tested every three-five days with PCR test and then contact tracing. Especially since the quick test is only 80% accurate. Who is paying for it? Seems everyone has knowledge of exactly who has symptoms and well as who is asymptomatic and that there is no spread, amazing. Good for them. Wonder if the Surf Corporation is funding the tests and paying to have a large number of people to do contact tracing as you would need a lot of trained personnel, or if each club is paying up.

Not all Hawaii folks are as gullible as you. And perhaps you missed the nazi like lock downs that only recently were relaxed. Pretty pathetic.
 
Surfer dad, Socal Blues vs SD Surf is the best girls youth soccer rivalry in the country, right?
I don’t know about that, but I think most would agree that SoCal girls soccer is the best overall and Blues and Surf are probably the overall strongest, and they are just a short drive from each other.......makes for a great rivalry for sure.
 
Reposting here since my "SoCal Scene" thread got pushed to "Off Topic 2" after a Covid debate ensued...

After seeing that every SD Surf youngers team is registered for their out-of-state tournament, I want to give huge props to any Surf parents who made the difficult decision to stay home. No doubt there was pressure to support the tournament organizers, support the club, support your coaches, and support your teammates. And, maybe the hardest thing to resist of all...you put FOMO in check too. Playing time, trophies, adulation---these are all hard things to pass on and only the strongest parents are able to do so.

Your child's recreational youth soccer club should never force you into a position to decide between breaking public health orders and playing the beautiful game--especially for families with kids who have 5+ years of playing in front of them. I'm sure you were told that it was completely ok and acceptable for anyone not to go, but we all know how that goes over with the over-zealous parents from the team and a coach who is part of the "soccer is life" culture.

So, don't second guess yourself when the social media posts and photos of goals and victories begin. You are impressive! And your child knows it too.
 
I'd like to congratulate all the parents and players participating in Surf cup this weekend and next. Win, lose or draw, you have already won because unconstitutional government tyranny will not prevail over the will of the people. Smile happily as you watch your kids enjoy the sport they love. Practice common sense safety measures and tell the trolls on here to kiss your soccer playing ass. Gonna be a terrific tournament.

Lovey,

Enough already. It's a rump tournament, not the surge at Yorktown.

Good luck to your kid. I hope they have a nice weekend.

And good luck to all those who decided to not go. I hope local games come back soon.

Still nonsense

Let me tell what I learned Surfer dad, Socal is the Mecca for youth soccer in this country. With that fact, Socal Blues and SD Surf are the two best clubs in socal=two best clubs in the country. SD Surf was awarded #1 club by the now closed Girls Development Academy. When my dd was at Blues, Blues said they were #1 club in the country. Tad did start ODP and was the first U15 GNT coach. I like the Surf possession style of play but I also like the Blues Ganas style of play. Many call it Kickball. I called it direct style and destroy your opponent without mercy. Would love to hear your take.

So did things change?

Heard that CA people had thier Phoenix hotel reservations canceled yesterday if they went stay and play through surf. Might want to check yours so there is no surprises.

So even though Surf was "kicked off" Phoenix fields they kept stay and play hotels in Phoenix? Heavy handed by Phoenix if they did cancel reservations, but I kind of get it. Surf should have realized that was a possibility. Like I said before Surf was in danger of burning bridges with Phoenix, and if its true its not a surprising result.
