I am curious, are there any LO people out there? I checked out all the ages for LO as I know the U14s are struggling as well. LO is in the bottom half in every age group. I am not picking on LOSC . I just what like to know what the LO people think is going on? The history of this club has been to have great girls teams. -
[QUOTE=Unregistered;641850]Completely agree. I think FC is the second best team in the league. By Spring they'll be playing some great soccer.
1. Onyx
2. FC Portland
3. Nemesis
4. Sherwood
5. Eastside
6. OR rush
7. LO
8. NEU
1. Onyx-only five goals given up 35 goals scored!
2. Eastside-physical play earns them this spot.
3. Nemesis-last year bootball and screaming coach will work!
4. FC Portland-to much talent for this spot. Should move up in the spring!
5. Sherwood-wow what is going on over there?
6. OR Rush- good speed surprises some teams.
7. LO-looks like their game is out of the country with their coach!
8. NEU-ouch!!Comment

I'm shocked by the results, or lack of results, from that club as well. I hope they get it together soon as LO has always been a tough competitor and I would hate to see them get relegated.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

[QUOTE=Unregistered;642346]Fall predictions:Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
1. Onyx (obvious choice. FC tieing Onyx was the worst thing that could happen as it seemed to have sparked Onyx and no one will catch them)
2. Sherwood (have already played Onyx and Nemesis twice. Favorable schedule left)
3. Nemesis (5 games left)
4. Eastside (physical team with good defense)
5. FC Portland (talented team and will come on strong in the Spring)
6. OR Rush (good speed but need to learn to play as a team and improve defense)
7. LO (not sure what is going on here)
8. NEU (they play hard but would be better off in Div 1)
Spring predictions:
1. Onyx
2. FC Portland
3. Eastside
4. Nemesis
5. Sherwood
6. LO
7. OR Rush
8. NEUComment

Predictions:
Saturda
Onyx-Nemesis: Onyx 3-1 (I think Nemesis will do better playing on their own field)
LO-Sherwood: Sherwood 2-1 (both teams have been struggling but Sherwood pulls out the victory)
NEU-Rush: Rush 3-1
ESUFC-FC: 1-1 (ESUFC defense able to hold off FC most of the game)
Sunday
NEU-Nemesis: Nemesis 3-0
Sherwood-Rush: Sherwood 2-0
FC-LO: FC 3-1Comment

[QUOTE=Unregistered;644881]Anyone have a game analaysis for the Sherwood-LO game and Onyx-Nemesis
In the first half Onyx moved the ball with ease around the soccer field just couldn't put one In the goal. Second half Onyx continued switching fields and passing at will until Nemesis made a mistake and gave up the first goal. Onyx continued to pass and move as Nemesis began tiring and the second goal was scored. I think Nemesis had one or two shots on goal no real scoring opportunities.Comment

What is up with Sherwood? They are losing a lot of games anyone know what is going on. They were a good team last year and now it seems like they are losing games the would normally win. Do they have injured players?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I don't think anything is up with Sherwood. I just think the rest of the teams are getting better and learning how to play correctly (with the exception of Nemesis who still plays boot ball). Boot ball can only take a team so far before the other teams learn how to defend against it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I've watched Nemesis & Sherwood play many times and I don't think they play boot ball...define boot ball?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Not playing your way out of a situation, always looking to go long and over the top of the defenders. I agree, both teams play boot ball. Nemesis more than Sherwood but both are guilty of it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Looking to go over the top of defenders is a good play if you have good athletes.
Look at any high level professional team and you will see them trying to put a ball pass the defender heads and let the forwards run under it.
Just take a look at the Timbers. They do it all day long.
Calling it "boot ball" is just a way to make the losing team cope with the loss better. If it makes you feel better then keep blaming your loss on the boot ball.Comment

Over the top every time is not considered good soccer. Yes, if you have the athletes to make it work it can be a great ball on occassion. Obviously Sherwood does not. Look at their scores against the better Washington teams. If they took that same game to California the scores would be even worse. The best team in California rarely plays the ball in the air.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
If you want to look at the great teams you will see the ball is played on the ground 75% of the game. Take some time and watch Barcelona or Man U. Every player on the field knows how to play out of the situation. There is a difference between a nice ball over the top and a random boot.Comment
