SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Girls Varsity Soccer Eastside or Riverside?

Theres not much gap between the top 2 teams in 3A. So simply tell me whose better and for what reason. And who you think will go further in Playoffs

Riverside

Riverside, because they don't have pompous posters claiming they have a freshman that is the second coming of Mia Hamm. That and they goose egged Eastside in the last game. Oh...and the fact that I've played both teams with Riverside hanging 5 on us and Eastside getting 1.

W&E: First of all the Eastside girls soccer program has no control over any posters on scsoccer.com. Nor do they condone emphasizing one players ability over any of their teammates. If anyone knew anything about their program then they would know that they are a classy team with character. Secondly, as I mentioned before it doesn't matter how you start the race it matters how you finish it. The only indication as to who is the better team will be determined in the upper state playoffs. Finally, the record shows that Eastside has only had 1 more point scored against them than Riverside.

I would concur—I know many many players on both Eastside and Riverside from my daughter playing club with them.

Between the two schools, wonderful young people and top-notch programs.

I think Riverside will come out on top—but not because of any weakness on either side. Just calling one slightly better out of two top teams.

Very true dude. I have never had anything to lead me towards thinking players nor coaches are anything short of a class act. They were clean and corteous when we played earlier this year. Since they are so close, I'm using Barca as my deciding factor. How you finish is most important, but recent events point towards flowng water.

W&E: I certainly appreciate your position although I do disagree on the outcome being Riverside. Eastside has a tremendous amount of heart and talent, so to sell them short may disappoint some people. This team is unique in that they play for each other, and the standings are irrelevant at this point.

Life is filled with disappointment and if having some know nothing poster (me) sell them short is the worst thing that happens to them - - - they've got it pretty good. Standings ARE relevant for brackets, home field advantage, and easier playoff roads.
