Well, Arsenal got their 1... just Surf didn’t stop at 3. Lol. I believe it ended 13-1 with Surf missing one of their PATs. Stopped counting. Two good touchdowns though. Lol. rough game.
Sounds like a little over kill which means nothing to everyone else!
 
LAG vs LAFC : 1-2

Neither teams played well, imo. Sloppy on both sides, lots of kick ball, no real connection from either team. Galaxy looked flat and LAFC looked lost. I just didn't see quality soccer at all, disappointing.
 
Here's 2019-20 standings thru this last weekend (10/6/19). First table is all of SoCal. Highlighted those teams who had a more than 10 place change (either up or down) from end of season last season.

Results are based on what's available from USSDA. Most teams have played about five games so there's some trends beginning to emerge.

here's notes. Does anyone have any insight into what's gone on here yoy with the three teams listed below?

  • Real SoCal
RSC 06s have taken it up a bit - improving to #5 in SoCal so far this year vs #18 at the end of last year. The add of TR (played w/ LAFC 06s/u13 in 2018-19 but played w/ RSC's 05s/u13 in 2017-18) seems to have a made a difference, particularly his 1.2 goals per game. Having said that, the rest of the roster is largely the same as what RSC finished with last year, so credit where credit is due.

But, RSC has also benefitted from several softer early matches - Santa Barbara, Ventura Fusion and LA Surf - so will see if RSC can keep it up. Upcoming matches to watch are LAFC on 10/20 and FCG on 11/16. Also will be interesting to see how RSC get scheduled for the showcase, and how they do there.
  • Nomads
Also showing notable improvement are the Nomads, improving to #6 in SoCal, up from #20 at the end of the last year, but they've only played three games, so obviously limited sample.

Looking at their schedule, it's decent but could have been more difficult. The Nomads' defense has been improving consistently since last season and right now, is one of the better D's in SoCal.

The match coming up against the Strikers on 10/19 will be an interesting test, as will the November matches against SDSC and Real Salt Lake AZ. If the Nomads do well against the Strikers, presumably they'll have a pretty competitive draw at the November showcase.
  • LA Surf
A surprising decline is the LA Surf - dropping from 7th in SoCal at end of last season to #22 (i.e. last) as of this last weekend. To be fair, looking at the schedule, the LA Surf probably have the toughest first eight games out of any team in SoCal. Still, they had an opportunity for a results against the Legends and should be competitive against FCG on November 17th. But other than that, though, it's tough until Thanksgiving.

RSC kept the core, TR is not really an outside player he grew up playing for RSC. This 06 team has been same for the last three years and only 3 players never played for RSC younger teams...its a physical, big team, and they play direct soccer...with TR returning RSC now has a bona fide leader on and off the field, and a player that can give you another dimension in terms of style of play.

here's predicts for this weekend (10/19). home team is listed first. made some adjustments to the algo. we'll see how it takes.

San Diego
LAGSD 1 vs SD Surf 4
Strikers 3 vs Nomads 0
OC Surf 1 vs SDSC 2
Murrieta 2 vs Arsenal 2

Los Angeles
Legends 1 vs Pateadores 3
TFA 5 vs FC Golden State 2
LA Galaxy 3 vs LAUFA 1
Ventura Fusion 3 vs Santa Barbara SC 1
Real SoCal 2 vs LAFC 1

wait.... what?

Yup, calling it RSC. Lots of subtext in this match.

RSC player who played w/ RSC, left for LAFC, then came back to RSC and is now RSC's leading scorer.

LAFC offense in particular has been fading.

Plus RSC has the size to compete w/ LAFC and, over the past several years, RSC has frequently given LAFC all they can handle across age groups.

Will be looking forward to seeing how this one turns out...
 
I think TFA vs GS will be a more close of a game!
Although the score may have suggested so, the actual game was tilted more in TFA's favor via possession and scoring chances even with TFA being without both their starting center backs who were called up to the 05 squad. TFA 2 - 0 GS.

LAFC dismantled RSC 8:2, and i am sure not a single soul at the Oak Park HS field expected that result after RSC went up 1:0 literally ten seconds into the game and two minutes later TR scored for 2:0! LAFC defense looked terrible first half, they managed to come back to 3:2 before halftime. In second half LAFC introduced better lineup with JP commanding the middle and rsc run out of gas totally playing mostly their tall and big players...
