Soccer's Big Takeover - The article is related to the graph above.

Do you have another link to the Washington Post? I'd like to see what they did. Placards would be easier to set up in the grandstand. On the hill, cards would get out of order with people moving around. TIFO is any form of an organized display. It can also be a large banner, it takes an organized group to create and display it. Or it can be flags, two-stick banners, smoke, flares, or any other kind of visual display. I also was thinking a Porter tifo should be in order for the last regular season match, but it would take more than just a few people and money.

Bring a laptop if you like. I'll be there early, but yes the important World Cup Qualifying USA match against Jamaica will be on in the back party room of the Barley House. We had to move from our normal home bar with this match on BeIN, which is not carried by Time Warner or AT&T U-verse. Or having satellite interference with a weak channel signal, which caused our move for this match.

A rare sighting, Kofi Sarkodie in the starting line up tonight during a regular season match against Real Salt Lake. I hope he gets some more opportunities to start.

Evan Bush talks about the quality of NE Ohio soccer, playing with Alessandro Nesta, and Porter to Portland.

My apologies, I read this the other day and forgot to post it, but Luke Holmes is advancing to the USL PRO Championship match against Charleston and scored one of the goals to get them into the championship. Hammerheads Upset Orlando

Akron Women lose a close one today 2-1 to Michigan St. They will play Cleveland St. on the road this Friday. http://gozips.com/sports/wsoc/2012-13/rele.../20120902zf8fag

Well said and Thank You!

I sure hope they begin this search process before the season is over. I'm just worried if they wait until December 15th, Porter will have to many things on his hands with Portland to have much of an influence as I would like in the decision making.

As expected, Darren Mattocks gets a call up to the Jamaican National Team vs USMNT in World Cup Qualifying Sept 7th and 11th. Mattocks, Cummings headline Jamaica roster for World Cup Qualifiers vs. USA Be kind and stay away from goal Darren!

I personally don't have any ideas on who will be the next replacement, but I know ISN threw out two names last night on Twitter. Head Coach Todd Yeagley from Indiana Current Assistant Coach Curt Onalfo from the LA Galaxy

I didn't know if anyone posted this yet. Portland to widen field for 2013 season

Bad news for Teal Bunbury, out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. https://twitter.com/GrantWahl/status/240207907596156928 Sporting KC forward Teal Bunbury suffers season-ending knee injury

Check this out, last second winner. Marquette defeat Milwaukee in the final second. Another thing I noticed is the clock too. Why does Akron continue to have their clock count down for every game? I recall when Fox Soccer was in town the last time, the clock counted up. EDIT: I should recheck what I type.

Mattocks received a straight Red Card in that same match. He was only on the field for 19 minutes. Video - red card

Trapp and Serna are going to be a force in the center of the pitch. 4 different players scoring and lots of substitutions. Love it and looking forward to rest of the season. Next Friday is going to be a big challenge against Creighton on the road.

Thomas Schmitt is listed as a Top MLS Prospect for the upcoming season by Top Drawer Soccer. This list does exclude MLS Academy prospects.

I found Koroma's Knee on Twitter and it seems to talk on its own. It looks as if it feels pretty good yesterday or at least that's what the knee is reporting.

1-0-0! I really wanted to catch Women's game tonight, but I couldn't swing it. I'll make it to the next one.

Thanks! for some reason I was thinking the Men's exhibition matches were free. Now that you've said that I remember it was part of the season ticket package in the past. I still need to renew for this season yet.

I thought I'd start a thread for Women's soccer. I know it might not be as popular as the Men's team, but they deserve some recognition too. Akron's Amber Kern selected as a Preseason All-MAC team by College Sports Madness Does anyone know if Friday's first regular season women's match is free since the Men's team is playing an exhibition afterwards against Wright St.?

You'd think Iona would at least be listed in the Top 30 rankings to have four players on this watch list or have a Top 30 recruiting class. I agree with bisbee, this list was compiled while smoking ganga

A good 2012 preview article on the Zips this season from ISN. http://internationalsoccernetwork.com/blog/?p=4560
