Boys HS Soccer 22/23

[Guest]

Thanks for the laugh. Jesuit just isn't that good. Their one player is exceptional, but after him....nothing. You do not need to park the bus. Honestly, I am surprised that Jesuit is not ranked 8th or 9th. Top 19, but low top 10.

Jesuit doesn’t play a physical game, and when teams like Aloha and Sunset get in their world playing physical with no space they struggle. On top of that, when you play #1 your motivation is higher, and Jesuit can’t match it for intensity. They are good, but they need some enforcers.

All of these close matches/ upsets for Lincoln and Jesuit will
just give them the fire to win when it really matters. It seems it’s hard for guys to get up for these regular matches especially when they have club games with better soccer on the weekends for ecnl .

A Jesut mom told me the Sunset team and fans acted like they won state when they tied 0-0.

Yeah, gotta rest up to prepare to get their asses kicked. 6-0 against a B team. What a joke UPDX is.

Lots of ties for lots of teams. But Sunset really has no business hanging with the #1 ranked team, let alone hanging a clean sheet on them.

Sounds like a fair number of buses may be parked on the field at Jesuit in the future...

Rankings are a joke- 3 in the top 10 from the sw conf. says all you need to know- s. Eugene, willamette and gp would all have twice as many losses in any metro area conf

Wrong thread. uPDX players are scattered throughout the metro area, not just on Je$uit.

Sunset did act like they won state. It was embarassing. Everyone wants to be Jesuit, while shows up casually like it's going to be a walk in the park. There is a lot of talent on the Jesuit roster, but not a lot of intensity or motivation. Coaching is a problem. No real strategy or game plan. The lineup is not based on talent, rather some seniority and relationship preference. Jesuit is probably not a real threat to go too far in the playoffs.

LMFAO. It was embarrassing? What is embarrassing is the over glorification of Jesuit by Jesuit kids/parents, and then the blame/rationalization/justification game when Jesuit under delivers. The reality is, Jesuit is ordinary. Everybody knows this but Jesuit themselves. Although I bet one of their 14 coaches/trainers/special advisors know this and will not admit it.

If Sunset is ordinary, why did you act so irrational when tying them? Time wasting and jumping around like you won the super bowl seems excessive for a tie with an ordinary opponent.

Sounds like we gots ourselves a toxic soccer mommy!

(Or dad).

Seriously. This is high school, not U12. Don't be a feminine hygiene product.

Lucky for you this is anonymous because you aren't sexist at all, are you? Better take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror big boy. Because you are packing a big heat of sexism. Way to represent Sunset daddy. Best of luck to you going forward. I hope sincerely hope you find a way to celebrate with more grace and poise, should you actually tie going forward.

"Feminine hygiene product" sound a bit more polite than "d0uchebag", doncha think? Anyhoo, Je$uit's coaching staff is quite good at their jobs, focuses on winning. If they are struggling it's not likely due to "tactics" or whatnot; the players are just not executing. And I doubt there's someone on the bench being overlooked.

Metro league is tough. Four teams could conceivably win it still--there might be a big tie at the top of the standings. Fans of a certain parochial school seem a bit annoyed that there is a chance they might not finish on top.

Take care of Mountainside, you'll probably win the league regardless of the ties. Fail to do so--well, Jesuit will still qualify for State, but someone else might be getting the Metro League silverware.

Nobody said Sunset is ordinary. They said Jesuit is ordinary. Just to be clear, you think gamesmanship is not part of the game? Time wasting is tactic, just like parking the bus. Of course you do not understand that because you do not care about the game, just about Jesuit winning. Shocking that a Jesuit parent lacks awareness.

Yeah, you don't know what you are talking about in terms of Coaching or players or depth of bench. You don't have a front row seat. That's okay, nobody and certainly not me needs to get on here and try to educate you on that. Will say again, no tactics, no game plan, no strategy. Kick the ball, hard and far to fast forward and hope for the best. Play the kids you have the best relationships with and hope for the best. You can defend and back peddle. These are broad thoughts amongst the community, who are there, witnessing it first hand. In the end, it's all okay. The boys are having a great time. Great team, great kids and great program.

Jesuit beat Mountainside, and Aloha beat Westview. Those two teams will finish stop the metro. Only weaker sides left on the schedule in league play.

Still, some of the complaints sound a bit like "why isn't my kid playing more?". This is HS, the kids can speak for themselves.

Bootball is a strategy, and it often works at this level. Especially if you have guys like DP who are faster than 90% of the players who will be guarding them and have the touch and technique to bring down the ball and take shots.

I will agree that last year's Jesuit team looked stronger
