Taj79 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 UNC goal at 17 minute mark. Looks a lot like the other night as the field appears tilted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Never seen a fast break in soccer. Now I have. UNC 2 to 0. Given what little I've seen of the Bills, two goals seem like a long climb for this squad. Surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It only took us 72 minutes to register a shot ------ and that was generous to say the least ---- a header over the end line, not even on goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Going to end up 3 to 0. A split in Carolina is good enough I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 That was akin to a 40 point beat down in basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is if they can't play two games in a weekend that poses a problem for the rest of the season. More disturbing for me was the fact in how they were dominated in both games even if they won one of those games. Wake Forest was unlucky to score. Might call into question their talent. If they lose to Tulsa it could be a long year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could talk about a few positives (Otte) but mainly just want to say that the possession ability (and apparent possession skills) are distressing. There is no midfield play at all.

William Iken Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Why discuss the semantics, we all know why they lost. Two reasons: (1) too many foreigners; and (2) not enough players from St Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back to the 1970s - yes SLU had a huge local flavour, but also look at the St Louisans that played professionally. A lot went to IU! That pipeline has been there for decades. We tend to re-write history, and by saying all the best locals used to stay home we are doing it now. Edit: Tim Walters is the first name to pop into my mind, then more recent IU players such as Pat Noonan and Chris Klein...Mike Ambersley too, why don't you go call him a traitor at Stl FC matches.

brianstl Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Jerry Yeagly always pulled St. Louis talent to IU. The first All-American IU ever had was Tom Redmond back in the 70's was a St. Louis kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one was Will Bruin. What is really embarrassing for SLU is I believe both his parents are SLU alumni. Is that why IU has won eight NCAA titles since 1973 and SLU hasn't won any? If Mike McGinty doesn't get SLU to an NCAA quarterfinal this year he should be fired. He has accomplished nothing at SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
