June 2017 - This team has been in existence for less than a year. Our coach is also new to this club San Jose Earth Quakes, Development Academy. We enjoyed your film and saw a lot of physical play and hope when you view it you see both sides of the game. Be well.

We all agree the format is horrible.  Interesting how you say the ref wasn't happy with our coach and that affected one of your players?  How exactly does a ref getting on to a coach affect another team's player?  Can't wrap my mind around that one unless the players were talking to the other team's coach...which is what happened.  Like I said, the parents were great!  Some of the best parents we've ever faced!  The intensity on the field was something we haven't seen to this point.  You'll really want to watch the 6:45 section of the second half when our midfielder gets taken out from behind and the side with no foul called.  She's the one on crutches now.  Video shows it clear as day...

A few girls 5'6" 1-goalie, 2-center forward,3- mid and 4-defender. 8 just making 80 lbs. if that, of the 16 on the roster. OEFC about the same. Hard to play possession with the burning need to score. OEFC feeling the same stress. Game was physical on both ends, quakes used to playing physical teams despite our size, game was ugly ,and a far cry from a good game, and difficult to assess the match up of the two teams true ability. Best part was the parents that found SJ Quakes in the parking lot to pose for this picture. Good luck OEFC in the rest of the tourney.. hope we both can play a full true game. A few OEFC players- two small quakes not pictured.

ColtMcVince wrote:ProDallas, I don’t see anything that makes that play dirty.  Physical, maybe a tad aggressive?  Sure.  2 players, one big one small, collide shoulder to shoulder when meeting at the ball.   I hope the OK girl is ok but nothing dirty about it.

A two handed shove in the back.  An elbow to the gut while jockeying for position on a throw in or corner — those are dirty.  Both of which I have seen at this level.  This is just physical play with a small girl going down hard.
