2019 OSAA Girls High School Soccer

The ties are stupid. Why play if at the end of the day nobody wins. They should call ties stalemate.

I guess the one good thing after a tie is that everyone from both teams gets to feel blah for the next 24 hours. Nobody happy = a good idea.

Ties make sense in world soccer like EPL or BL but stupid for high school soccer. Should be win or lose. “Stalemate” is not very American.

Not true. The underdog is happy for a tie. West Salem was happier than they’ve ever been after the tie with Jesuit. South Salem was very happy to tie West Salem. A tie is seen as a great victory to the underdog and as a terrible loss to the team that was expected to win.

True that ties are dumb though.

I thought Jesuit was the underdog?

Stalemate is good description. Ties are boring and unsatisfying.

Every once in a while, there is a comment that makes me really pause.

Top 5 6A:

1. Jesuit: will beat Mtside tonight 5-0 and my prediction will be the clear winner this year in the finals.
2. W. Salem: tough to read. Comes up big vs. U of J, then ties South. Conference pretty weak, not the best way to prepare for deep playoff run, but for me still deserving of #2
3. Mtside: lot of hype with this group. They have tanked against quality teams, and my prediction will be another huge loss tonight. Quality players, but I'll blame the coaching staff for poor showing against the top teams.
4. Sunset: here's my sleeper. Always manage to stick around in the end. Although early lost to S. Eugene, tough schedule with good results. Close results agains quality teams indicate to me a young squad. Should take care of Southridge tonight.
5. Sherwood: good result against W. Salem so had to put this team in the top 5. Also beat the teams they should beat. Let's see what they do against Camas this week.

Looks pretty close but the order might be mixed up a little with #2 - #5. Jesuit is the clear favorite unless other good teams are willing to man mark #7 and put 10 behind the ball. Jesuit is 10x better than anyone else so the only way is to park the bus and go for the 0-0 tie. Sherwood tried to play them straight up and look what happened. If Mountainside doesn’t swallow their ego and pack everyone in on defense, Jesuit will crush them too. As evidenced by their tie with South Salem, West Salem isn’t better than MS or Sherwood, they just have a smarter coach and added in a little luck at home against Jesuit.

Agree with your Sunset sleeper pick.

Jesuit will obviously win it all but I think Sunset, Mountainside and South Eugene all have a chance to be the bridesmaid.

Why not Sherwood and W. Salem?

Why not Sherwood and W. Salem?

Because I said so.

This is just a bunch of stupid opinions anyhow Kind of like two cashiers at work arguing over where the name tags must be worn corporate always gets the say in the end.

Seriously 6-1 MS

Love it. Buncha hs dad's wondering how they can further f up the game of soccer.

No wonder nobody cares about the high school game. Thunderous bootball the lot of it. Even big Sam would be embarrassed.

Sounds like most girls soccer families cares about high school soccer.

The game is no uglier than what you see the Thorns Academy play.

You take the top 15 high school teams and any of them would beat the Thorns by 3 goals.

The game of the year is Monday Ms vs UofJ. MS has a shot at pole position for the year.

SEugene, Salem, Sherwood and Barlow have very weak strength of schedules for rest of season. MS has a golden opportunity.

What pole are you talking about for MS?

Score was 6-1.

Which is fine. But you sound silly and unserious when you wish to change the rules of the game.

Who mentioned the Thorns in this? Just because something may be uglier than you doesn't make you pretty.

What age? I would expect the top HS varsity teams to easily beat the U14 or U15 Thorns, simpy on account of age--seniors against freshmen (or 8th graders!) would not be a fair match. I would expect top HS varsity teams to beat the U16 and U17 Thorns, also on account of age (though less so) and because these two age groups stink for Thorns.

The U19 Thorns would smoke any HS varsity team not named Jesuit, and would probably beat Jesuit as well--and again, age would have something to do with it. Unlike the U16s and U17s, the U19s are a good team with a solid roster.

And of course, any of the top U15 boys teams in the state would kick the everlasting crap out of any HS girls team, Jesuit included.

Jesuit, Moutainside, and West Salem would easily beat Thorns U19s
