Comments on: Boys soccer top 10: Make way for Valencia http://ocvarsity.freedomblogging.com/2009/01/12/boys-soccer-top-10-make-way-for-valencia/23898/ High school sports talk by the staff of the Orange County Register Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:48:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: FreeKick http://ocvarsity.freedomblogging.com/2009/01/12/boys-soccer-top-10-make-way-for-valencia/23898/#comment-20344 FreeKick Sun, 18 Jan 2009 07:45:14 +0000 http://ocvarsity.freedomblogging.com/?p=23898#comment-20344 There certainly are some interesting opinions about the state of OC soccer this year. Some of them are pretty contradictory to say the least. Esperanza has an overall record of 11-4-2 and has lost a league game to unranked Marina. Some here are suggesting that they should be a top ranked team because they have won three games in a row. That same person is suggesting that Servite should be dropped to #10 or lower. It doesn't make sense, especially considering the 3-0 win by Servite at the Aztec's home field. (btw Esperanza coaching staff - maybe you could call in your results and stats to the Register so they could have an accurate reporting base for your team here online) JSerra has had a pretty good season thus far with an overall record of 9-2-4 and quality wins over both Servite and Mater Dei. Despite that they are still looking for respect in the polls and from some posters here. This week will be very telling after Wednesday's game vs Servite which features the top two teams of the Trinity League table. Servite comes in to the week tied for the lead in the Trinity League after shutout wins over both Santa Margarita and Orange Lutheran. They were the only top 5 team to win both games this week. They have an overall record of 10-2-2 which includes 10 shutout games. Despite that there is a chorus of boo-birds who hurl insult after insult at them. The facts simply don't justify the abuse. Wednesday will provide them a great opportunity to take solo possession in the race for the league title. #1 Saddleback had a rough week losing to 2-0 to Santa Ana. #2 El Toro edged Northwoods and tied Woodbridge - a lackluster showing for a top team. This coming week should see some new blood in the top 10. There certainly are some interesting opinions about the state of OC soccer this year.

Jserra played bosco without two of their best players and still gave a good result...or is it that maybe all you truly got is a goalkeeper?? and maybe one or two decent players on the field?? all i know is that servite has to prove everyone wrong by beating jserra wednesday..and if not..i think servite might start going downhill..but even though jserra has a lot of talent their still young and struggle beating big physical teams cuz of their strength..specially against servite...since their soccer for the most part is physical.. servite needs to stop making excuses why they loose games…if your team is truly that amazing then your team shouldnt be that unbalanced when ur missing a keeper and a couple of players.

JSerra also really great with their young talent in wcfc players and fast pace, when they play servite, will be a must-see for sure ^^^ you are correct you two, Esperanza has been looking very, very good after that servite slip up, number 1 in sunset league play at the moment too after los al win including 3 wins in a row.

They've played well at times but I'll admit had a few slip ups...

Los AL isn't even ranked so how would that vault Epseranza up? They should have beaten the Griffins today. Esperanza was manhandled by Servite. They were shutout and outplayed in every aspect of the game. The Aztecs have talent and a long-term coach, so they will do well over the course of the season, but you can't ignore the loss to the Friars no matter how badly you want to. Same for La Habra. Sonora lost to Servite 6-0 in a beatdown that could have been way worse for them. So when the Highlanders couldn't score and tied the Raiders their stock should fall in the eyes of the pollsters. Servite at #10? Seriously? They lost early in pre-season to JSerra (who beat MD today btw) with their backup goalie and several field players missing. They have one other loss since then in a tournament. How do you justify a #10 ranking at this point? Stop hating and do your homework - you are way off base here. Shake yourself toms.

Three games in a row now in which esperanza is the winner, IS THAT TOP TEN I HEAR? Definately Los al does not deserve top ten, maybe fountain valley even though a loss to Edison today, but honestly how was Esperanza arragant against Valencia? They beat them at Valencia, wait I mean SHUT THEM OUT at valencia, with some fine saves from espy's goalkeeper Stith. And Mr. Dottore you have to realize that the top ten teams should include saddleback and el toro, but other than that, most of the spots should be Sunset and Trinity league teams without a doubt, this is just getting ridiculous with these bogus rankings. Get servite either #10 or out, they need a smell of reality from their high pedestal they put themselves on. I mean Damien, even when you are talking about La habra in this post, you STILL find a way to talk about servite hahaha its ridiculous, i mean read this below "4. La Habra - I thought about dropping them down once since they tied Sonora, a team that Servite beat 6-0. But the Freeway League is quite possibly the toughest league in the county, one that doesn’t get a lot of attention since it’s so far to the North. Let’s see what they do against Troy today." Who from servite pays the bar tab here? Mr. Dottore:
esperanza beats los al.
