Here are my picks for the final 8:
Flight A-SRU-Rays will play SRU tough.
Flight B-Mustang Pride (They just beat AFA which probably was there only competition)
Flight C-It's a toss up between Impact and Blue Monsoon. Impact has had some good games but so has MVLA. I will go with MVLA
Flight D-I like Placer but they squeeked by the 49'rs. I will stick with Placer.
Flight E-Davis should win this flight.
Flight F-Force has 2 games down already. They should win this flight.
Flight G-San Juan Blue
Flight H-Manteca should win this but don't be surprised if Blue Thunder makes it interesting.

Flight D - I've never seen Diablo FC or Sporting Green play but aren't they supposed to be pretty good? 49er v Placer should have ended a 0-0 tie however a fluke play on a Placer corner kick resulted in a goal. Defender who was perfectly position to block the ball ducked instead. 3rd string keeper (due to injuries) was stunned that she ducked and watched the ball sail in. It was one of those 'comedy of errors' things that you can only shake your head at simply say 'must be one of those days'...
Saying that Placer controlled possession (huge field that played to their favor) but they struggled greatly in the final third and resorted to a boat load of crosses and a few long range shots that were pretty easy to defend against (assuming no one ducked... ). That's my long winded way of saying I have to believe that Sporting or Diablo are better than PU and will win this group?

A- SRU.....can anyone stop them?
B - Musatng........have not had the results they would like this year but they are a good team. AFA appears to be losing as of late.
C- MVLA........I don't think impact will make an impact. The MVLA coach will play to win and the game between the two won't even be close.
D- PLACER.......Diablo can shut anyone out (as they did SRU and Manteca earlier in the year), but they can't score. Sporting is good but w/o guest players I'm not sure about them.
E- Davis.....Rage tied with Stockton and now faces and uphill battle.
F De Anza......in the bag
G. San Juan........they will beat the RAGE second team but it won't be that easy as they think.
F. Manteca barely........Manteca hasn't been on their game for awhile for whatever reason. Lucky for them Palo Alto can't score so they should skate in on points.

Manteca lost twice to Placer 2-1 in consecutive weeks. When is the last time that happened? What's going on over there? What happened to the almight RED ARMY? It just seems like yesterday when all they had to do was walk on the field and they were already up 2-0 before kick off. Any updates from our reporter WDRKB

Are any teams worried about the small fields at Woodland? I've said it many times (mainly in my head) that these turf fields are way too small for the level these girls play!
The younger/lower teams get to play on full size fields at Fallon and Alden Oliver. IMO NorCal is blowing it with the field assignments!

I couldn't agree more, Toni...I was stupefied when I saw we were going to be playing at woodland...AGAIN! Wonder how this affects outcome of games...could play into the hands of some teams better than others...maybe unfairly "level" the field a bit?

It will help teams with good possession, first touch, dribbling ability etc. Keepers with a long punt become a weapon. It will hamper teams that rely on long ball and speed to create scoring chances. Downside is that large teams that like to pound people it will be harder for the little teams to maneuver away from the demolition derby.
