Stanford hosting Missouri State in a 2nd round game. The Cardinal fell behind early, but then scored twice to lead at the half 2-1.

Only 4 shots on goal total, 3 of which have gone in. If the box score is accurate, Stanford already with 3 yellow cards, Missouri State with 0.
Through halftime and the cards looked legit. Actually, the ref has been pretty solid for a welcome change. Beautiful free kick for the first goal. It is really hard to get the ball down fast enough from just outside the 18. Lovely second goal including the build.
The goal against thought continues the brain freeze problem on defense. The men were dominating but got caught on a counter and made about 4 individual errors to give up the goal. At some point that pattern will sink them.
When Adnan missed a point blank shot in front of the goal around 4 minutes and then give up a goal later, I thought Stanford was doomed. So glad to be wrong. The team responded well. I like their chances against Marshall
This team can absolutely beat anybody, including #1. Right now though I don’t expect them to do it 4 more times in a row. Hoping but not expecting.
I hate what Marshall is. 3 Americans on the roster. Ridiculous to have a team that is 90% foreign, many from international club systems.
The ref started ok but now is unprofessionally feuding with our bench. Obvious card on Banks that drew blood not even a foul. I fully expect a BS penalty before this ends. And now a bench card. F@@I this official.
Every FK now is a foul.
Marshall, is better but we have swiped an early goal and are up 1-0. Not sure we can make it hold. Almost gave up a goal on a terrible misclear earlier. Schnedley (sp?) makes some really bad choices as well.
Somebody needs to put Pinto on a stretcher.
