Riverdale vs Siegel

[RespectallFearnone]

Honestly, the outcome of the Riverdale-Franklin doesn't mean any more than the Siegel-Franklin game earlier in the season. Both are non-district games scheduled by both teams to play strong competition to prepare for a post season run.

There??™s a Riverdale fan (keeperfan). I know comparing common opponents is not the best way to size up a team (game), but their common opponents are Shelbyville Central and Hendersonville. Franklin shut out both 8-0 and 5-0. Riverdale had a hard time with Hendersonville 1-1, and beat Shelbyville 5-1. Keeperfan, did you drink the Riverdale cool-aid? How do you compare these teams? I just don't see Riverdale holding Franklin to 1 goal.

 

/ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> Them thar's fightin words. I would doubt that Mr.300 would classify me among the Riverdale supporters. I know that Arman would not. Yes, Blackman through and through. You seem to have missed the point that I believe that Siegel will go deeper into state than Riverdale. Siegel's tougher competitve schedule is a distinct advantage. I just give the first game advantage to Riverdale.

 

I just think that Riverdale is pulling it all together right now. The several young ladies that I have watched play for the past 8 or 9 years on the Riverdale squad are pretty quick studies of the game, and what they miss, Ali will help them put the lessons learned into practice. Not a complete rarity, but they really seem to improve from game to game. Unfortunately for them, again, not enough high level competion to learn from to be in the last game of the season.

 

 

 

With regard to the Franklin game, I just think that Riverdale's back line is going to play over their heads during the fall break week. No school complete focus on soccer. I also think that their offensive attack is going to keep Franklin on their heels for most of the game. It is no longer a case of stopping Becca to stop Riverdale. Bottom line in my book was only 3 of Franklin's 10 wins have been against teams better than .500 while Riverdale has 6 of their 11 against winners. Loosing to a great team without scoring is just a testament to a good defense or empathy from the winning coach.

 

But again just a prediction. Since we are in the political season, I will revise and extend my remarks to be Riverdale with a 2 goal differential. And surprisingly, if wrong, it won't be the first time this season....or the last.

Franklin 4 Riverdale 2 As for Franklin being on their heels it was riverdale that was on it's heels.

You are correct TTU79. In the first half, Franklin had 10 shots on goal to Riverdale's 1. In the second half, Franklin had 7 shots on goal to Riverdale's 4. Riverdale scored off of a couple of corners I believe. They just couldn't mount as many attacks from the mid-field as Franklin. Franklin controlled most of the mid-field game, however Riverdale did start winning more 50-50 balls in the beginning of the second half. Just my take. Good news...No major injuries.

HSSoccer, pretty acurate summary. Franklin dominated the first half. Ali changed his configuration for the second half, went to two forwards instead of one, much more even second half. Franklins second goal came with about 10 second left in the half, would have been nice to only be down 1-0 at half. riverdale made it 2-1 on a header off a cross and scored their second goal on a corner kick. Rained pretty good most of the second half but don't think it was a factor. Franklin is very good in all aspects.

LOL...Sorry about the fightin words keeperfan......All in good fun of course. Thanks again for your input.

[KeeperFan15]

Sounds like I missed a whale of a game. Sorry I was out of town. Congrats to Franklin. If Arman started the game with only 2 forwards, I may have misread Riverdales speed. I'll have to think about that one.

Not sure about the source of your statistics but I do believe that Franklin's record against ranked teams this year after the Riverdale game is 5-2-1. Riverdale is a good team but Franklin has stepped up their play significantly since the "give away" tie to Ravenwood (7-0-0).

Combination of ES and CoachT Schedule analyzer. I don't keep up with who used to be ranked vs. who is now. Again congrats to Franklin. Sounds like they are making their case for state.

Nice to see a Siegel supporter drive all the way to Franklin on a rainy night to keep stats and scout the two teams. I do have a problem, however with the trash talking and comments directed at the girls during the game by the same person. There no need or place for that and your definitely old enough to know better.

O.K. global1, whoever you are. YOU DEFINITALY HAVE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? I will try to remain calm as I type this reply. If you wanted to push my button, it worked. If there has ever been a case of mistaken identity, this is it. If this accusation is directed toward myself, or the friend who was with me, you have made a TERRIBLE mistake. Yes we were at the game. We were there because we both have friends (parents and girls) on BOTH teams, and we knew it would be a good game. So, why in the world would I trash talk either team or players? Actually, we said hello to a couple of the dad??™s we knew, but never said a word the whole time we were there to anyone else or especially to any of the players. Also, why in the world would I be there to scout either team? I have seen both teams many times before, and I??™m not a coach, nor do I talk to the coaches. Trash talk players???¦.oh please. You obviously have absolutely no clue who I am. I know for a FACT the neither of us said one word to any of the girls, or parents on either team. This accusation is absurd. Actually, the ironic thing is that this is one of my pet peeves. I??™ve been around soccer for a long long time and I??™ve seen many many select, rec, and high school games. Anyone who knows me, knows that I will not tolerate a parent trash-talking players on my team or the opposing team EVER, for any reason. Yep you blew it. You should introduce yourself to me, PLEASE. You need to make sure that you have the right person before you start accusing someone of this crap on a public forum. You??™re incredible. Global1....Here's your sign!!

I agree.. I was at the game as well and their was not any trash talking that I noticed at either end of the field in either half. Many of the girls in this game have played travel together since they were young and even some Centennial girls came to watch their friends play. It was a hard fought game but at the end there were more hugs amoungst the players than anything else, which is how it should be. Global1 does not have a clue..
