here's standings as of last weekend. highlighted best offensive teams (top 5 in socal and top 3 in group) and best defensive teams (same). SoCal standings are presented first and group standings are presented second.
Per results from the showcase, the LA u14 group is a bit stronger than the SD u14 group, with the LA teams collecting 10 wins, 7 draws and six losses vs SD teams with 28 goals scored by LA teams vs 19 goals allowed.

some thoughts on the u14 standings.
1. Looking at team goal differential, there's a clear tiering for SoCal teams:
Tier I:
So, would assume that TFA will get at least u17 for 2020-21.
Of the Tier III teams, SDSC and LAUFA probably have the most potential for additional age groups. Currently, SDSC only goes thru u14 and LAUFA tops out at u15. USSDA objections to offering additional age groups for these clubs are probably 1) market saturation 2) historical club administrative challenges.
After that, am stumped on who has a legit case this year for adding additional age groups (although have heard via DM that several clubs feel like they're good to go adding at least u15 in the Fall.)
Thought/comments? These decisions are being talked about now at USSDA.

I have to say it is very puzzling that some of the top SoCal Teams with the most favorable stats, did not have players picked for the recent U-14 Boy's National Team tryouts in Chula Vista last weekend. Most of the players picked are from MLS Clubs (even some back up players)….I get it that these teams have talented players, however, should most of the positions be picked from teams just because they are sponsored from a MLS Club? It is a shame to see USA Soccer making political decisions like this rather than strictly by talent only.

here's predicts for this weekend (3/7). home team is listed first.
Los Angeles
LA Surf 1 - Santa Barbara SC 1
LA Galaxy 2 - TFA 1 - match to watch
note: LAG had seven players called up to the U14 camp. TFA had 3, despite being the TFA 06s being ranked as a at least a top 5 team since u12. Would think this one will be fierce. last match was 2-1 LAG and last week's 3-1 win over Santa Barbara doesn't bode well for TFA, but they've got something to prove, so we'll see. This is the one match to watch this weekend.
Pateadores 3 - Legends 2
FC Golden State 2 - LAUFA 1
San Diego
Murrieta Surf 1 SC del Sol 2
Strikers 2 - OC Surf 0
Arsenal 1 - Real Salt Lake 7 - play the kids!
SDSC 3 - LAGSD 1 - match to watch
note: after LAFC, statistically, LAGSD was the most over-represented club at the u14 camp. Get HBW, and taking him out of the math, LAGSD isn't as over-represented as bad but still, is interesting. AM for LAGSD has 14 goals in 18 games, so fair, but don't have addt'l context to compare across the whole West Region group. One big difference is that LAGSD goes up to u17 while SDSC only goes up to u14. Hmmm. DK...
So, went back and triple checked The Algo on this one, but the math is all correct.
LAGSD's key thing challenge is that they tend to give up a lot of goals. SDSC has some players and have put together some decent results including a 1-0 win over SC del Sol. Would think GE from SDSC might want to go out of his way to impress in the one and take advantage of that LAGSD trend, and SDSC's D might be especially to keep AM under control.
be interesting to watch this one and see what happens. last match was 3-3 tie.

Los Angeles

predict: LA Galaxy 2 - TFA 1 actuals: LA Galaxy 2 - TFA 1
note: looks like ratio of players called up to u14 YNT camp was about right, so credit to LAG. per game report, match looks like it was tight/fun to watch. LAG went in the first half for 1-0 lead. in the 2h, TFA tied it at the 50th minute but LAG came back w/ one more the final 2-1 result. Good to see this kind of competition in SoCal.

note: per game report, this match back and forth with a total of five goals scored in the first 25 minutes (defense is over-rated
). Score at ht was 3-2 SC del SOl.
In 2h, Murrieta quickly tied it at 3-3 and then went ahead 4-3 a bit later with a goal in the goal at the 66ht minute. However, SC del Sol tied it at 4-4 at the 73rd minute. Looks like a fun match to watch - maybe some pretty good soccer - all the way around with eight different players getting goals.
predict: Strikers 2 - OC Surf 0 actuals: Strikers 3 - OC Surf 2
note: solid effort from OC Surf. per game report, Striker went early with goals at the 7th minute and 20th minute. But, rather than folding, OC Surf evened up with a double from RH at the 21st and 30th minutes for 2-2 at ht. But, alas, Strikers came back with a quick one for the 3-2 final results.

note: per game report, RSL did not play any 07s but looks like Arsenal did a decent job of beating The Algo in this match, keeping it within a reasonable margin.

per game report, GE from SDSC went for a triple, (US Soccer, you listening? I think - as Ricky used to say - you have some explaining to do...). and SDSC's D kept AM quiet. Score as 2-1 at ht, with two from GE and a SDSC own goal. LAGSD tied it at 2-2 with a goal from NP, but SDSC/GE added another to go ahead 3-2 at the 59th minute. JV from SDSC added an insurance goal at the end for a 4-2 final result. Looks like a fun match to watch.
