Please alert Coach Porter that I told BigSoccer that Zips would be 2012 Champions! No pressure, just tell him.

Was it the defender's back? Old school technique is two-handed punch ONLY. Yes, Mattocks' knees on defender's back.

He chinned it in. In no way does that diminish the quality of the score, or the requisite athleticism to execute it.

In contrast, how is Andrew Wenger (1st pick) doing for Montreal Impact?

Porter's career requires him to win another championship. It may be that Porter's epic failure to qualify U23s to London Olympics may work in UA's favor. He needs redemption. But Portland is not the opportunity for him. His inevitable jump to the pros will be with a higher profile MLS franchise, one of the original 10.

I am confident I could gain financial security making $350k per annum.

Bobby, just stop it!

Tika-Taka!

You are getting closer. This may be the lineup.

Was DeAndre enthusiastic about moving to RB?

Though Heather Mitts (herself) is looking good.

Quinn will play MF for Zips in 2012.

Training Day

Koroma on left, Schmitt in the middle, Derschang of the right. Serna must beat out Tommy to start, and Tommy was on fire during Spring.

Me thinks we may hear this call again in 2012!

This Spanish team is arguably the best international side ever.

Do you mean to insinuate that Can't State has a men’s baseball team? When did that happen?

I was waiting for someone else to mention it. After watching Spring season, and considering the recruiting class, I believe the Zips will be 2012 NCAA Champions. Seriously!

I am still stunned!

Well, those are the two best sides, really. Justice is served.

I finally saw the replay of that goal. A full volley off a long cross! It is probably the strike of the tournament. He almost had another one just like it.

Well, I am certainly out of the running. I had the Netherlands (and their horrible defending) winning it all. Earning no points whatsoever is much worse than merely unlucky. Look for complete overhaul of Dutch roster by World Cup.

Well, that article just answered all the boring, prying questions I have been asking you over the past year. I should have waited for this piece and saved everyone the bother.

Agreed! However, many are of the opinion that the womens team is (or was) on the verge of taking the MAC. There is no good reason Akron should not have an elite womens soccer program. This is quite a setback. I wonder what the real story is.

Thanks for putting us back on track. As I stated above, the only small modification I would make is to extend extra time, keeping the golden goal. In NCAA, two 15 minute halves is just not long enough. Make it an additional 45 minutes, with no intermission. Fatigue will set in and someone will eventually score. If still equal at the end of an additional 45 minutes, then call the regular season a draw, and call the post season PKs. Like everyone else, I hate PKs at the end of extra time. However, if the match demands a winner (post season), PKs is the tradtional way to decide things. I see no need to change it, even though I have tasted that bitterness more than once.
