soccer can be a cruel game....
but it is not random...or only determined by lapses
time of possession, precision passing, more corner kicks, excellent defensive players, more shots on goals, mid fielders that see the entire field and make fine passes, far side backs with speed that make good passes into the box, forwards that can clear space for their own shots, a goalie that is having a good year, a coach with a solid and dependable game plan....all factor into predictions...
you can see that the zips....do well in all those categories
JR Eskilson correctly predicted that the zips would beat Michigan and Louisville in 2010 final four...
He has already predicted Zips in the final four
