Good luck to all the play-in teams this weekend! Wow, there are a lot of U13G play-in games.
Here are my guesses for the U15 girls:
AFU 1 - CFC Red Star 2 - AFU's results in their tournament last weekend weren't strong (1-0 win over an Athena C team, loss to an Athena B team in the semis). CFC has one top notch player and a couple other very good players. There appear to be a few ECNL players on AFU's roster although CFC's top players play ECNL too. I wouldn't be surprised to see AFU win this one but I'll give a slight edge to CFC.
RYSA 3 - Chiefs 2 - These two tied in the fall. Both teams appear to have pulled up some U14s to help out. The addition of a keeper will be a help to Chiefs but they appear to be missing a few of their regular players. RYSA has a couple of speedy forwards. We'll see if the Chiefs' defense can chase them down.
On a side note, I wonder about the fate of the Red Star team with the change to the rule about rostering on both an ECNL team and an Athena team in the fall. With few options in Columbus, it makes sense for the top players to play ECNL while still playing with the local team. They'll have to make a choice next year. If they'll be sophomores next year and are looking to play in college, that may mean leaving the local team.

That makes me 0 for 2. Maybe I'll have better luck picking the first round games . Good luck to everyone next weekend!

i don't believe so, but parking can get hectic. Be prepared to park on the grass Not been a charge in the past, there are 2 parking lots, one right at the Complex entrance and the other at the High School next door, as mentioned before be prepared to wait for a spot in the middle of the day it gets hectic. Enjoy it as much as you can, take a trip to downtown Columbus it really is nice down thee and it's away from the soccer.

Newbie here - 3:15 pm games... Parking? Heat insane? Does it cool down for 5:15pm games? (wishful thinking?) Plan to park in grass, 3 and 5 games will be brutally hot...bring a tent and a cooler with lots of water and ice (I would maybe bring some Frogg Toggs and leave in cooler for them). They can get dehydrated very quick. As a parent you may want a tent too, there's some trees around but that's only near some of the fields. Per accuweather, it won't start cooling down until around 7...and when i say cooling down I'm talking 85 Weather is looking like this now: Saturday 88 feels like 98 Sunday 92 feels like 99 Monday 91 feels like 100 Good luck!!

(No dog in that hunt or association with either club, I've seen that Rush team play and was impressed - very quick- very skilled. Go watch if you can)

(No dog in that hunt or association with either club, I've seen that Rush team play and was impressed - very quick- very skilled. Go watch if you can) I watched that Rush team play twice last weekend at tournament. They lost to UFA U14 & U15 teams, they were supposed to play Norcross as well but game was cancelled. Maybe they weren't trying? but they were outplayed in both games. I also watched them play in January at the Atlanta Showcase, they played against two U14 teams and a team from TN and also outplayed. I am not familiar with the Roswell team

Way to go Ambush! They're keeping things interesting in group A. Inter, Ambush and UFA all have a chance to move on. SSA is in control of group B. NASA shouldn't have too much trouble in group C. D doesn't have a clear favorite to me. Maybe Norcross? We'll know more this afternoon.

It's on to day 3! Here are my guesses:
Ambush 2 - Chiefs 0 - Ambush is in the best position in group A having already played the strongest teams. We'll see if Chiefs can spoil their plans.
UFA Premier 2 - Inter 1 - I was surprised at UFA's loss. This will be a tough game but my guess is they'll manage a win. It may not be enough though.
SAF 1 - AFU 0 - SAF had a good win yesterday but was steamrolled today.
SSA 2 - DSC 0 - SSA has outscored opponents 8-0.
Rush 1 - NASA Premier 0
NASA Elite 2 - Roswell 1
UFA Red 2 - GSA 1 - GSA's ODP defender is injured. That may explain the goals they've given up. At least they were able to score a few against Norcross.
TH 1 - Norcross 2 - The semis are on the line. Norcross has some talented mids. They and the defense can't afford to give up 3 in this one.
