The magic is over; the spell has been broken. It was foolish to believe we could ride this wave forever. When was the last home loss? vs. South florida in the 2007 NCAA tournament? Anyone?Pardon me while I peruse the view from the Y bridge.

From the grandstands, the band sounds great. I like it. There just needs to be more coordination between the band playing and the chanting.

Very interesting!I agree with Ken Mack that Kitchen will play center back for the U23s. Klinsman prefers playmaking/distributing center backs, a la his stellar long-time teammate Lothar Matthäus. In Klinsman’s 4-4-2, the diamond is in the back, not in the midfield. Kitchen would play that not often heard (anymore) position of Stopper. He will excel in that role.And yes, Ines Sainz is smoking hot! Way too hot for sports reporting. Holy…..!

DarNag's first professional goal has my vote; hands down!At my age, I have witnessed a fair amount of strikes, and that is among the very best I have ever seen, on any level.

That's not what Andy Chiu's girlfriend said.WHat!?!?!?!?!?

Good points all!Can you agree with this? The system and formation were the same, the execution of which changed according to personnel. You offer a good example of this in that Gallego simply cannot speed up the flank as can Yedlin. Nor can Gallego recover at Yedlin’s pace.The shakeup in the back line remains bit of a mystery to me.

I don't necessarily think they would need to, as they would be able to sign as homegrown players with Columbus and New England, respectively. Don't quote me on this because I'm not exactly sure how it works but I think because they played for those teams' academies they could sign directly with them. Let's just hope that whether or not that is a path they can take, that they chose to stay for their senior year. Although Mattocks is arguably our most important player right now, if we were to only have to really replace him next year, I think it could be a very successful year.I do not claim to fully understand the GenAd deal, and I understand even less how the MLS academies sign “homegrown” players. I have researched both and I am more confused now than ever. I would love to get my hands on the actual contracts. Suffice it to say that the GenAd contract is a much better, air tight, deal for an underclassman.Any experts out there?

Tactics did not change for Wake Forest, though personnel definitely did. Akron executed the same game plan they have employed throughout the Porter tenure. Incidentally, Wake Forest plays the exact same system. I cannot recall an opponent so closely mirroring Akron’s style. One might argue that Akron employs the Wake Forest style, as WF has been doing it for much longer. It is puzzling that Yedlin, having started over Dagilis all year, saw only 10 minutes playing time. Had Yedlin been injured, he would not have played at all, so injury was not the reason. Perhaps Yedlin was ill, but Bisbee’s comments pretty much dispel that notion. And I do not buy the Senior Night explanation either. Senior Holmes inexplicably played very sparingly as well. This is a head scratcher. I have been harshly critical of Dagilis this year, especially during the Spring. In all fairness, against WF, Dagilis played the best ball he has since 2008. Props to local boy! IMO, the first WF goal was really due to a systematic defensive breakdown rather than individual play.Perhaps Porter is managing the squad as one would a professional side. Whoever impresses during practices earns the playing time in the first 11, lending no gravity whatsoever to scholarship structure or previous accolades. Consequently, it is likely the lineup will change match to match for the rest of the campaign. Although I can understand Porter managing this way, it does not bode well for a championship season. On the bright side, it is unlikely any player besides Mattocks will turn professional during the off-season. It sure would be great if Darren elected to stay on another year, but I do not see it. At this point, neither Barson nor Caldwell can secure a Generation Adidas contract.

Looks like it will remain dry after all. I will be there. What else do we need, I mean, aside from Jameson?

Very interesting! Will definitely watch that matchup closely. Zips should have bagged Okoli as well. Young man is on a roll; he will warrant tight marking.Bisbee, stop down to Lot 9, on Exchange Street, right in front of Infocision Stadium. Tank123 in town?

Is Matt Foldsey from St. Ignatius in the bag yet? He is a F, no?Yeah he is. I've heard he is a good player but have never seen him play.Watching boys District Final right now. Cleveland St. Edwards @ Cleveland St. Ignatius. 0 - 0 end of regulation. Foldesy sure looks like a Zip to me. Not sure if audio will link or not.http://nhsbn.ezstream.com/play/index.cfm?f...A&Org=nhsbnEdit: Wildcats over Eagles 3 minutes from PKs. Golden Goal!

I think it was literally less than 10 minutes in the Spring. I remember him as very unimpressive, contrary to his long list of credentials.Does anyone know the real story on Diego Navarette?I don't know the real story on his leaving, but for those of us who followed the Zips on the road, Diego played quite a bit more than 10 minutes for us in the Spring.Did you see any quality?

Rumor has it some of these were present vs. BGSU.Is that true?

+1Right On!

Everyone else managed to beat Michigan.

Lot 9 is free, and they allow drinking?

So, what went wrong in the 2nd half here? Synopsis?

I have never liked artificial turf, playing or watching, but wet turf is the worst.

I think Meves just wasted a guy.

HS this is crazy!

WTF was that?I will take it.

Buffalo are really packing it in now... as they should.
