i dont watch much soccer, but my observation is that whining and feigning injuries is widespread and not just limited to africans. i could be wrong

You’re not completely wrong however, there are heavier offenders and African Countries as a whole utilize the tactics more than most.

Never have seen anything like this.  Full stretch on all 6 saves.  Nothing easy.  Carlos must read minds…

I’ve never seen a keep guess right on 6 of 8 more or less save 6 of 8. No misses by them either. Actual saves. I guess if you’re playing SLU in the tournament you’ll want to take chances and go for the win rather than go to PK’s

Took 110 minutes of kick ball to get to the exciting part ......

Remember that time you whined and complained about SLU homecoming and then the team went on to go undefeated in 10 of their next 11 games, win the regular season conference title, and the conference tourney title, securing a nice seed in the NCAA Tourney? That was pretty great.

holy smokes Memphis again?  Thats three time in a week.  I'm done seeing them again for ever after this. 

I wouldn't mind having an I-55 rivalry across sports, I think it's fun. Especially if the MBB and MSOC teams go out for vengeance to redeem our girls. I want blood!

depends on how the next 2 games plays out.  But so far with BBALL last year and WSOC I'm not liking it.

If we take MBB and MSOC this year we have the more important 2 wins of the 4 matchups IMO. Here's to hoping we do it.

SLU will host Memphis Thursday in the NCAA Tourney. If they win, they will visit Indiana.

Creighton, Lipscomb, SMU, Louisville, Missouri State all made the tourney. 

IF SLU can get past Memphis, it would be a fun matchup vs Indiana.  2 most storied college soccer programs.  Indiana at #20 actually has the lowest RPI of any of the 16 "seeded" teams and is the only seeded team with a lower RPI than #18 SLU.

There are 6 players on Indiana from St. Louis.(They will be adding another in 2023 class). Many would start, most would play, maybe 5 out of 6 would see the field. (and for those that don't follow recruiting, SLU has the top ranked 2023 recruiting class nationally)

SLU will have their hands full with Memphis first.

It seems incredible to me that they can get past Memphis...

Akron will be joining the Big East for Men’s Soccer beginning in 2023, as the MAC dissolves for Men’s Soccer only. Nice pick up for the Big East.

Strong program going back 3 coaches. SLU recruits against them regularly. Their long time current head coach is former St. Louisan Jared Embick. 

……………

260 players entered the transfer portal on the first day. 

…………

Carlos Tofern was named to the College Soccer News and Top Drawer Soccer National Teams of the Week for saving 6 out of 8 PK’s over 2 games.

Any of you fellow dorks going to the STL City game tonight? I was given a random GA ticket and don't really want to go stand in the freezing cold alone for a team I have yet to know much about.

Yep, actually going with a friend you know - not to sound weird.

Do you think there’s any interest in the A10 getting any of the other schools to join as associate members for Men’s soccer? Not sure I see any.
