Bonita fan It was a crappy game by both team yesterday. Walnut goalie only touch the ball 4 times. Walnut #11 was off side the whole game. I thought I was a AYSO game the way both teams was playing. Still Walnut did win 1-0

LA fan said:

Half the battle is learning how to finish! Yesterday LA boys played a well organized game against Charter Oak, dominating the mid-field and finishing. Final score 7-0! Past games we have dominated in the field but failed to capitalize on our opportunities. Good Luck LA!

You are right one PK shouldn't make a whole game. Walnut never did make a goal in the game. Sh D was playing a great game to keep them out of the goil. The other hand Walnut girls water polo in know 24 & 0 after beating bonita in a tough game 10-8. Great job by both teams

Carlos said:

I agree completely but the ref should not determine the outcome of a game. Wilson dominated and it could of been a blowout but they could not finish all of their chances. There was a penalty in favor of Wilson not called but that's part of the game. My problem is when the ref becomes the start of the game because of his inability to do his job. It's amazing this guys get pay what they get.

Part of the game

You bring up a very good point. A team should be able to do their part and not leave it up to the ref. However, yesterday's LA vs DR game was very close. It was a clear off sides that was never called by the ref that determined the final outcome of the game. Soccer is a very unforgiving game. You can dominate every minute of the game and still lose because of a bad call. I have seen many games come down to refs failing to do their job. Yesterday's ref was suppose to ref the JV game but the second varsity ref never showed. His inexperience was very evident from the start of the game. All in all, I agree that a team should never leave it up to the ref to determine the outcome of any game.

Part of the Game said:

Seriously, you guys need to stop complaining about refs! Good ref, bad ref...it's all part of the game! Your teams need to learn to assess a ref early on in the game and learn to play accordingly. I'm so tired of this culture of blaming refs. Don't put yourself in a position where a bad call or missed call can turn a game and you won't have to worry about it.

Ask yourself how many goals your team missed yesterday and then tell me that it was "ALL THE REFS FAULT". The next "perfect" ref you find will be the first ever. Get over it and play the game, which includes dealing with bad and missed calls!

Walnut girls Soccer: they are coming together as a team Un-Defeated - San Antonio League , With their lightening fast and technically talented strikers their run for another CIF title is within reach

Fan said:

#1 Fan

You just don't get it. Walnut girls are in the weakest league in the whole San Gabriel Valley!

#1 FAN said:

Late breaking new the Lady Mustang come though again. Beating SH 3-0. Way to Walnut ladys

Fan said:

Wilson still has to beat LA at Home and Diamond Ranch. Tough task..

Soccer fan said:

Carlos,
LA is not out of it yet! LA lost to Diamond Ranch 4-3, again thanks to the JV ref who failed to call two off sides. LA out shot DR 15-4 in the second half. Once again, a varsity ref did not show up and a JV ref was asked to sub for him. LA needs to beat Charter Oak, Wilson and Bonita. They already beat Bonita and Charter Oak and tied Wilson.

Carlos said:

Wilson losses to Bonita. Ref 2 wilson 1. Ref gives the bonita team a penalty kick and then doesn't call an offside. Most horrible ref I have ever seen. Good game played by both teams. the league title goes between Diamond RAnch and Wilson

#1 fan said:

Referee give one to SH over Walnut boys soccer. 10min into the game referee made another bad call giving SH a PK for 1-0 win over Walnut. Good game SH a win is a win. On a good note Walnut girls water polo beat LA 10 to 2. Way to go girls.

#1 fan said:

Bonita fan Wait I forgot our girls soccer, and water polo team beat you.

#1 fan said:

Bonita fan, and Rowland fan yes you beat us by 1. Good game by all three teams.

Bonita Fan said:

LA Fan, please re-read my post, I said Bonita GIRLS team going down in flames. Never did I mention anything about BOYS.

So if you are going to flame me, make sure you have the context of my post correct first.

#1 Fan said:

Bulldog Bone Thugs You mean the two sports that you sit around most of the game. Where teams has the bigges fat A--. A play that last maybe 4 sec then you wait 45 sec for the next play. I think I'll talk soccer, and other sports first.

Bulldog Bone Thugs said:

#1 fan,

Here we go. Soccer results that you are sooooo proud of. Get a life! when your boys Baseball and Football team can grow some sacks and play with the Big Dogs then spew your Venom. I hear one of your so called prized Football players may be leaving and going to that Catholic School over in La Puente to play Pac 5 football? Whats the latest on that?

DR fan said:

It's amazing to me how that kid (Jiovanni) is the MVP of our leauge. He was elbowing some of our players and fighting with them during our game with them. I've heard the same from other people.

Bonita fan said:

#l fan,

We still beat you 1-0!!

LA Fan said:

Bonita Fan,

It also has to do with the attitude of the players on the field. Your #5, last years league MVP, received a red card for poor sportsmenship. As a result, he could not play against Diamond Ranch.

bonita fan said:

Bonita going down in flames losing to Diamond Ranch.

I hear their recent skid is due to the "Booster Club" suggestion that all players get equal playing time.

Some were having issues with their dd only seeing a few minutes here and there!!!

Glendora and Diamond Bar girls tied (2-2) yesterday

soccer fan said:

Leave Fred alone! If all coaches called in their scores consistently and in a timely manner that would help.

soccermom said:

Fred needs to get his facts straight, Charter Oak is 2-2-0 in league, not 3-2-0. West Covina is NOT a league game for them, contrary to what MaxPreps says.

maritza said:

fred,
west covina senior robert roriguez one of the best defender out there he's attitude and leadership are keeping west covina alive we got to keep an eye on robert hopefully this kid gets a div 1 school

Viking13 said:

Mission Valley...

Hardest league in SGV...

LA Soccer Dad said:

FYI - The final score of the Bonita vs. Los Altos Girls match on Tuesday was 5-3, not 4-2 as noted by FredJ

Question said:

Anyone know the score of the Diamond Ranch v. Charter Oak girls soccer game yesterday?

Consider said:

Fred,

Some players to consider. Los Altos, Tony Hernandez, Sophmore sweeper. This kid is solid in the backfield. Chris Lopez, Captain, senior halfback, quiet player, makes things happen. Kevin Martinez, Jr. striker, distroys defenders. Frank Nunez, Senior fullback, what a pleasure to watch.

FredJ said:

your right J. Wilson, maybe next week we'll start breaking down the best players by position. You all can help by starting with some players to be considered.

j.wilson said:

FRED YOU NEED TO POST THE TEAM OVERALL RECORD AND THERE LEAGUE RECORD, ALSO MENTION SOME OF THE PLAYERS BY NAME HO HAD A GOOD GAME OWEEK,SEASON. KEEK UP THE GOOD WORK

J. Ramirez said:

Correction: Arroyos' boys soccer record is overall 10-0-5 and 3-0-2 in league as of 1/22/08. Today 1/22 Arroyo beat South El Monte
1-0 at SEM. Big game at El Monte Thursday 1/24

#1 fan said:

They are 2-1-1 in league.
Today games

Walnut Girls 5 West Covina 0

Fan said:

Los Altos boy's soccer team beat Bonita!!!!
It should have been a huge blow-out. Bonita reached the LA goal about five times total. Double BOOYAH!

FredJ said:

Last week I didn't have Arroyo or Diamond Bar in the rankings at all, because I didn't have their records. It's hard tracking boys soccer when so many don't call in results. I feel better about this week's top ten. I admit I made big changes from last week, but it's only because I'm getting more familiar as the weeks move on.

Bonita fan said:

Bonita moves up, what a joke having Los Altos ranked so high. Bonita girls just beat Los Altos 4-2. BOOYAH

Fred needs to watch some soccer said:

Wow, Fred Robledo needs to watch some soccer before making his rankings. Last week he had Los Altos ranked 8th, and Wilson 5th. Then Los Altos and Wilson tie 1-1, in a great game, and he moves Wilson up to 2nd, but moves Los Altos down to 10th. And now both Diamond Ranch and Los Altos have the same record in league play. The Miramonte League is tough. Mountain View is deserving of the #1 spot. And I don't know much about the others, because I haven't seen them play, but South Hills has lost some non-league games to teams ranked below them. The Miramonte League is tough this year. So is the valley, all should do well in the playoffs.

FredJ said:

Thanks Bravefan, schedule said it was tuesday...great game I covered today, Workman 3, La Puente 2....

BRAVEFAN said:

FRED, GANESHA VISITS BALDWIN PARK ON THURSDAY.
THIS SHOUD BE FOR THE LEAGUE TITLE. GANESHA BEAT B.P. EARLIER 2-0. IM SURE THE BRAVES WILL BE READY FOR THIS ONE...

What? said:

I would't exactly say that Wilson has an early control of the Miramonte league! After two overtime wins and one overtime tie, the second half of the season will be interesting.

Soccer said:

Damien must have an amazing team! After losing to Diamond bar and others ranked lower or not ranked and too still deserve a high ranking?
