    MF/PDA ECNL Playoff Predictions

    With the national playoffs quickly approaching, I have to say I don't think MF advances beyond the playoff stage. The team has been struggling all season, and the MF wonder kid has been looking more and more like a good rec player than the superstar DB has made her out to be. She has a problem holding her own position on the field, and has been getting in the way of the other players on the team. It seems she's been brainwashed into thinking she can do it all, without any success. DB needs to put a stop to her running all over the field and get her to start being a team player.
    As for PDA Blue, I think they have a easy time getting out of the playoff rounds, and advance to finals. Unfortunately I think this is as far as they get and there will be zero way they win a second year in a row. The team has not been playing like they did last season. They seem disconnected, and it was proven that the team is to dependent on DS and AM. They seem to have lost their focus this season. Losing to HEX didn't help matters. MS did more harm than good with this team. The scrimmages they have been doing didn't look like the championship team that they are.
    MF has some really tough competition in the playoff rounds. PDA has a easy one. They just need to start playing as a team, not as the DS show. And if DB or MS are reading this, a word of advise. Pull these kids out of the game if they are having a bad game. Both of you have a tendency to leave them in the entire game, even when they are playing bad. Perfect example was the last PDA/MF game. GH was having probably the worst game I've ever seen her play. It was because of her a goal was scored against the team. DB should have pulled her when she started ball hogging from her own teammates. Had he have taken her out, maybe the results would have been better.
    Now, this is where the PDA parents respond about how amazing the team did this past season. Great feather in your cap, beating PDA South twice, which I might add both games were only a 0-4 loss. Last year you beat them 0-8 both games. And the last South/North game Blue didn't get their first goal till the last 10 min of the first half. So, that being said, either South is improving, or North is having issues. Both MF and Blue are decent teams. I'm very happy for their success. This post is not attacking a certain team, and my d did play for north and will be moving on to college in the fall, so I have no attachment to either team. Just my 2 cents. Final note, the parents of these teams need to chill out with the "we're the best ever" posts. Just be grateful your kids are healthy and enjoying the game with the success they have. No need to constantly post about them. Just remember, scouts are also following the parents as well as the kids. The last thing colleges want is pain in the ass parents on the sideline. I went through the whole recruitment process, and I think I have some sort of experience about what I'm saying.

    MFA loves the girls who think they are above the team. That is a common trend I’ve seen at other age groups as well. #cultureissue

      Our MFA 08’s are going to kick ass in Seattle, just like we did against PDA Blue.

        You lose all credibility when you start your long post saying that GH looks like a good rec player. You can criticize her positioning, or whatever else, but saying she has been "looking more like a good rec player" is stupid. As for the playoffs, Match Fit has a much harder path to the finals than PDA. Match Fit has two other top 20 in the country teams in their group (United FA at 20 and FC Dallas at 10) and the other team is VDA at 50. PDA Blue has to beat Arizonal Arsenal (8 in country) but the other two teams are #43 and #65. Another advantage PDA has over Match Fit in terms of playoff path is the round of 16 games. The winner of PDA's group gets to play the 5th wildcard team (of the top 5 2nd place teams from group play) while the winner of Match Fit's group plays the winner of Group K, which includes the #15 team in country. Based on rankings alone, both teams are favored to make it to finals based on their relative ranks, but Match Fit has to win more tough games against teams much closer to their own ranking than PDA.

          MFA will play PDA in the round of 16 and MFA will win easily.

            So Match Fit won't win their group, but then they'll beat PDA easily? Not likely, especially after what Match Fit looked like the last time they played them. Match Fit has also lost 3 games in the last 3 months while PDA lost only one with a significant handicap.

                Good luck to PDA and MFA teams in Seattle. It is fun to argue on here and talk trash, but we all know getting national recognition by having success in Seattle helps all of us. You should really cheer for all NAL conference teams out there, even the PA and MD ones.

                  Lol, you lose all credibility saying this kid is anything but a good rec player. She is far from even being the best on that team. Probably in the lower 5-10. I looked back at some of the MF posts. This kid isn't even the top scorer or assists on the team. Why DB builds her up as the best thing ever is crazy. And the other poster was correct, one of the goals scored on them in the PDA/MF game was a direct result of this kid getting in the way of her teammates. And yes, she can't hold her position to save her life. She looks like a puppy playing with a ball. She's all over the place. There are other talented kids on that team that are more than capable of playing their positions. The last thing they need is a DS want-to-be getting in the way. MF will nit advance past playoffs, and this kid will be the cause of it unless DB can put a leash on her and get her to stop getting in the way of the other players.

                      Are the boys in the playoffs too? Or did they not make it?

                        I’m a Penn Fusion parent and know you are wrong. We played Match Fit twice this year. In those games match fit scored 3 goals total. She had two goals and the assist on the other goal. She was the only one that stood out on the field for them.

                          GH is good but they are constantly losing talent so she probably feels llke she has to do everything.

                            It probably doesn’t help that other Match Fit parents are constantly posting BS about her.
