Soccer doesn’t seem to be very popular on the Cardboard. Too bad because we field two great teams this year.
I've been slammed; I do plan to follow the team in the NCAA tourney as I expect them to make it. I didn't know about the injury/yellow card situation--that's worrisome.
Similar, have been on the road with terrible internet for a major project milestone, but I am slowly catching up.
So belatedly…
- pretty standard men’s game - do they score first or get caught on the counter?
- in this game the correct answer was “caught on the counter for $1000 Alex.”
- actually is was caught 3 times in the first half for 2 goals. Not good.
- The first was a 50+ yard through ball. Up the middle. On the ground. Yikes. Dylan beat by speed.
- goal 2, Alfonso fell down isolated 1 v 1. Doh.
- in fairness it wasn’t all the CB’s fault as L/RB were way forward. That said Cleary scored 2 goals from RB so it was a 2 edged sword.
- first time though all year the CB conversion experience blew a gasket. Or 3.
- Dylan subbed at half and Palmer moved to LCB I expect to get more speed in the middle of the defense.
- fortunately BC isn’t very good; so the men were able to take this one back. against a better team though this ends poorly.
