billikenfan05 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Billikens take down Wake Forest. Otte put in a performance for the ages. If you can watch the replay definitely check out he last 30. The German made some incredible plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Bills win although the field was certainly slanted for that second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Completely outplayed, but we hold on for the win. Couple nice saves from our keeper down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that this is essential to the narrative of the game but it should not diminish the victory. The 1v1 defending was outstanding. When we had chances we were dangerous in attack. It was clear that pack the back and counter/clear the piss out of the ball was the strategy and the players executed the game plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 No doubt it was a huge road win and we have lost our fair share of big games in the past when we dominated the play. Great way to start the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I can't speak for brian but my post was just an observation, in no way an intent to diminish the victory. I thank you for letting me know it was on ESPN3 and I watched from when I saw your note but the whole second half was played in our end. We defended well and the goalie made some key saves late,especially when we almost got credited with an own goal. Always root for the Bills ..... butv my views on soccer overall get me condemned. Beat UNC. Been to Wakeand Chapel Hill. Going to be tough to win the second one as well, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUBALLS Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Wow....did not see this coming. Great way to start a year winning on the road versus a Top 5 team......And that hit by Brown.....you don't even see that in the Premier League too often. Reminds me of the volley Rooney hit against Newcastle years ago..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be tough to win the second one as well, I wasn't necessarily just referring to this example of criticizing the pack the back and counter strategy, see Hope Solo or those who criticized Mourinho's strategies at Chelsea. I also see no reason why tomorrow's game against UNC shouldn't also be on espn3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilkowsky Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Tomorrows game is on ESPN3. Good win by the Bills. Maybe this is the year for Championship number 11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two really good scoring chances in the game for us. I think the counter should improve as the season goes along. That said, they need to cut down on the quality scoring chances they allow.

On the other hand I can't blame Sweden or Pia, you have to do what gives you the best chance to win. Off topic, but I wish the US still had Pia. Imo the best coach the USA has had.

moytoy12 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Apparently, we had a PK saved by the WF keeper. Sounds like it should have been 2-0. "The Billikens (1-0) struck in the 14th minute of play to take a 1-0 lead. A long kick from goalkeeper Sascha Otte found Anthony Brown, who blasted a shot from the top of the box just under the crossbar. A minute later Saint Louis had a chance to double the lead as the Deacs committed a handball in the box, but freshman goalkeeper Andreu Cases Mundet saved the penalty kick attempt from Lennart Hein. Wake Forest (0-1) continued to pressure the Saint Louis end for the remainder of the half, but couldn’t find the equalizer despite a 6-3 shot advantage over the first 45 minutes." http://www.wakeforestsports.com/sports/m-soccer/recaps/082616aaa.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA needs to investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
