G2010...How is the 2021 season going?

I have to agree and I am very impressed by the Surf team. They might not be ranked #1 now or even at the end of the spring league but I think they will be the top team in the coming years. They are well-coached and have the talent and athletes needed to be the best.

Those rankings are still in flux for the NorCal teams. No one has that many games just yet, so a couple of blowouts can send things crazy.

Woodside (#5 in your list) is good, but not #1 in norcal. They tied the MVLA B team on Saturday.

I'd put San Juan in the top group before Woodside.

Are those the got soccer points, or something else?

I find it hard to take points systems too seriously. Most of them raise your rank for playing extra games. You can’t tell if someone is the best team, or just the most overscheduled team.

It shows up in the R4 rankings. I have a hard time imagining that 7 R4 teams are better than Albion and Blues. But I have an easy time imagining that 7 very good teams got in more games.

In fairness, feel free to take pot shots at my system. None of them are perfect. At the moment, I like YSR with a cap on blowouts: If the game has a predicted gap of 4 or more points, throw it out and recalculate.
 
YSR is far better measure of team performance than GotSoccer, but both have their flaws. You just have to know the teams and have watched them play to understand where they stand. Results help move those views one way or another, but you shouldn't let one-off games here and there dominate your views. Any of the top 5-6 teams can lose a game on any given weekend. What matters is how they perform over time, and more importantly, that they're showing regular improvement in team soccer.

In my view, Surf and Blues are the top two SoCal teams in the age group by a decent margin. I personally give Surf the edge over Blues, but its close. Surf has a larger number of technical and fundamentally sound soccer players, while Blues has more pure athletes and aggression. 3rd is Slammers PA, who has a decent balance of both. Then there's 3-4 really good teams like Arsenal and Albion and a couple others, then there's the rest. I don't know where Eagles stands these days. I haven't seen them play in quite awhile.

These are just my views as I see the age group today, and are by no means perfect or the end-all-be-all. Just the way I see it for now. Enjoy your time out there parents! It's great to have soccer back.
 
Those 6 you mentioned are the top 6; Surf, Blues, Arsenal, Slammers PA, Albion, and Eagles with Surf/Blues at the top. To fill out the top 10, I think it’s Ole, Liverpool, Slammer HB and ???. It’s fun to make these lists and they really don’t mean anything as some teams are going to be completely different next season.
 
Real So Cal should be in the top 10. They are the best in the West bracket.
I disagree. We played them and I can say I wasn’t impressed after a very one sided match against them. I’m also familiar with both teams having played against them last year in flight 2 and wasn’t impressed with them then either. I’d probably put Fury over RSC. But to round up the top 10 is put City SC up there. Id assume LA Breakers will take over the west when they get back in game form.
 
Ole beat Blues 1-0 (someone fill us in with details, please)
Eagles beat South Valley Surf 7-2

Eagles vs Ole final tomorrow
Wish I was there to see that. Congratulations to Ole for winning! I can only guess three things could of happen (or some combination of this):
Ole played Kickball
Ole parked the bus
Ole had a potluck/secret Santa before the game

Either way, Ole … have your day.. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
 
Spoiler alert: Blues does not play kickball anymore and has AR teaching possession. RR and TB were about the win, no matter what. Bakers, well we all know about their teaching of the game. My guess is Luis is obeying the rules and that is all one can ask. He can;t speak, mussel over his mouth so to speak. I will give you my reasons why the loss to Ole. I am also assuming Luis is still on the team so take this with a grain of salt. AR is all about what Deza is preaching down South. At the youngers, you have to throw out bad habits, even in big games. He took over the Gaffer and is now teaching the game right. Did Ole play Kickball?
