Alberto7 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Four Canadian teams in the conference playoffs this year. Laval Comètes take on the Toronto Lady Lynx and the Quebec City Amiral play the Hamilton FC Rage in Quebec City on Saturday. The winners of these games play on Sunday for a chance to join the Ottawa Fury in the final four championship the following weekend in Ottawa. Since the Fury are hosting the final four, they qualified automatically. It doesn't matter as they were the class of the Central Conference with a 10-2 record. Eastern Conference will see DC United Women host a four team playoff consisting of Charlotte Lady Eagles, Long Island Rough Riders and Virginia Beach Piranhas. Winner advances to the final four in Ottawa. Western conference: The Whitecaps Women had a poor year and did not make the playoffs, which in this case will be a one game affair between the Seattle Sounders Women and the Pali Blues(played in Fullerton, California). Winner advances to Ottawa. DC United Women and Pali Blues have been exceptional this year. United have a record of 11 wins and 1 tie while Pali compiled a 13 win, 1 tie season (The Western Conference teams play 14 games while everyone else only play 12). I predict Pali and DC United will meet in the final in Ottawa. I hope the Fury can make it to the final but I'm not sure they will be able to beat the powerhouse DC or Pali teams.

Vic Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 It's great to hear everyone can enjoy the games. That's a big step forward. Pali is the class of this field. Any team with the WPS fifth pick playing off the bench is a solid side. The first three picks in that 2010 draft are on the U.S. women's team and the fourth is the team's mobile, intelligent and talented central defender. DC had a good year but their division is soft and they've only beaten four teams this year. Anything can happen but the Fury have much more talent. Book the time into your calendar to catch the games and make sure your volume is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pt Beez Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 DC had a good year but their division is soft and they've only beaten four teams this year. Anything can happen but the Fury have much more talent. I believe they have beaten 5 teams.....the last team...Charlotte Lady Eagles who finished above the Atlanta Silverbacks in the standings after beating them once 1--0...tied once 2--2 and lost once 1--0....and when Atlanta played Ottawa Fury last year...what was the score again? 6--1 in favour of Atlanta.....

Vic Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I stand corrected on the playoff game... five teams and not four. Although that's pretty subtle. And beating a team that won-lost-tied a team (that isn't the same team this year) who beat Ottawa last year is a fairly subtle too. Sanderson and Lohman are of course globe-travelling professionals, but after that it's a bit of a drop. As I said, the result is anyone's guess, but Ottawa are the more talented team. At least in terms of national team experience which is probably a pretty accurate metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto7 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ottawa Fury win their first W-league title on penalty kicks after tying Pali 1-1 in the 90th minute. Congratulations to them. In the third place game DC United Women beat Quebec City also on PKs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must confess I was skeptical about that statement but I would'nt have dared to challenge it on the forum. Good for me ! I avoided to excuse myself afterwards. Congratulations to the Fury ! To the Amiral also ! What an accomplishment for a team that relied mostly on local talent like Vic stressed it in another post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwsmith63 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Good shout by Vic! Thought Pali played much better than Friday but a silly foul late in injury time gave the Fury the chance they needed and they buried it. PKs were exciting as one would expect with 1000 people willing the Fury to victory. Cheers gws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
