Big East Matchup of the year!!! Georgetown at Akron Septmber 25 https://guhoyas.com/news/2026/6/23/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-announces-2026-schedule.aspx

I promise the season ends before Akron goes 4-8 again.

Every year it is always going to be a new picture with different players. I already miss the bygone years when players entered as frosh and we observed players improve each year. And some players did not improve and transferred out. Players coming to Akron for one year was the exception and not the rule.

English newspaper picked the best 11 by position in the world cup (while excluding Messi, Haaland, Mbappe and other superstars) Our beloved former zip from Canada made the best 11/ https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jun/21/the-2026-world-cup-team-of-the-tournament-so-far-without-the-superstars Richie Laryea (Canada, left-back) Canada’s buildup was dominated by the fitness doubts surrounding their captain, Alphonso Davies. Jesse Marsch has not needed to risk his talismanic left-back in the opening two games thanks to the performances of Laryea, who usually plays on the right. The Toronto FC defender is full of running and provides the sort of attacking threat Marsch demands, a real outlet in the 6-0 takedown of Qatar. Davies’s absence need not be such a hindrance.

Delaware marketed the crap out of themselves in the game and I believe even had a contest for those who used them in dynasty. Akron could afford to do the same.

After making 2nd half subs, Canada now has Richie playing CB. He really can do it all!

That is such a strange font initially I thought it was for the Greek National team. 🤣

For those of you who are not native Spanish speakers. 😊 Forward Enrique Freeman will make his debut with the Puerto Rican national team this summer after confirming his participation, according to president Yum Ramos.

In the last 15 minutes of play, I heard the commentators say : Laryea has had a very good game. Richie Laryea has been outstanding. Richie Laryea has been fanstastic in this game. Not surprisingly, Richie was the highest rated Canadian player....by Sports Illustrated https://www.si.com/soccer/canada-player-ratings-vs-bosnia-herzegovina-canada-collects-first-ever-world-cup-point-6-12-26 LB: Richie Laryea—7.9: Ran a marathon down the left wing. Stout defensively and a valuable asset going forward. A strong showing should’ve been rewarded with a goal, but Kolašinac denied him with an incredible block near the goal-line.

I still think Stankovic can be a good player. Coming to the United States without a full summer of preparation had to be difficult. He absolutely showed flashes of talent at times, he just wasn't consistent or polished enough to be out there when it mattered.

He also wasn't quick and wasn't a decent defender and that doesn't work in a Groce scheme.

I believe it is called the P4 rule. P4 schools get extra outs if they are trailing non P4 schools. F'ing ridiculous. 🤬

Seems like he could be a candidate to succeed Joe Mo one day. Those NDC teams were pretty good before the school shut down.

65-20 was that final. So...things are trending downward for the Greenheads.
