DeAndre is Great. In the historical discussion of right backs, Kofi Sarkodie has to be in the conversation. Zip nation will always remember Kofi’s game winning goal against Michigan in the 2010 semis.

In the coaches poll, Akron went from not ranked to #14 in the country I was amazed by Stanford's jump. Not ranked in the preseason poll. #3 now in regular season poll. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

Portland played at Indiana last night....and came away with a 3-3 tie. It sure looks like Portland got "homered". Portland was called for 29 fouls and was given 7 yellow cards. The home team was called for 3 fouls and 1 yellow card.

comments from the VCU coach after their season opener Their writeup says that the Akron-VCU game will be available on Espn Plus https://vcuathletics.com/news/2022/8/25/mens-soccer-rams-drop-season-opener-at-14-marshall-5-0.aspx

John Krysinsky is a well respected Pittsburgh area soccer writer.

Thursday night was not the best night for the other MAC teams. Northern Illinois lost 3-2 to San Francisco. Western Michigan lost 2-0 to Butler. Chicago State was a pleasant surprise as they battled the Northwestern Wildcats to a 3-3 tie. Indiana vs. Clemson is on ESPNU right now (7 to 9 pm eastern)

William Portman took control of the zips instagram stories yesterday. William Portman is a very likable guy. I am very glad that he is an Akron U. Zip. William can play outside back...and he can also sub in at center back. Speaking of center backs, Joel Sangwa is simply outstanding. Rugged defender and he makes great decisions passing the ball. Gyuwon Chong also looks like a great addition.

does their field even have lights? It is so dark.

good article from Florida International student newspaper FIU really recruits from all over the world.... They are a legitimate top 20 team. https://panthernow.com/2022/08/23/fiu-mens-soccer-season-preview-eyes-on-a-national-title/

The Zips back 4 and GK will need to be very strong Thursday night. FIU will play in a pretty good league (American Athletic Conference) in 2022. FIU had 2 forwards selected for the pre season all conference team

the link to live video....says that the game will be available to watch on you tube

I think this is Nathan Ferguson. Listed as a 6'3 forward . I like tall forwards (for set pieces). https://www.mlssoccer.com/players/nathan-ferguson/ the tweet has a good photo of Nathan Ferguson for some reason...when I copy tweet, I get Faufel and ferguson...Nathan is 2nd photo ...he is the commit to Akron welcome Nathan Born in Glen Carbon, Illinois. A standout striker from our @STLCITYAcademy who notched 9 goals in @MLSNEXT action last fall.

In a March 14, 2022 FC Cincinnati game, new 2023 recruit Alen Kapic scored a goal with an assist from Akron zip 2022 fall new player Ashton Kamdem. Ashton Kamdem also scored a goal in that same game. I have said it before....Ashton Kamdem really sounds like an exciting addition to the zips team this fall. I sure hope that Ashton Kamdem sees a lot of playing time this fall at left defensive back. Sunday, March 14 U19 | Midwest United 0, FC Cincinnati Academy 6 The U19s had a dominant performance in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as six different goal scorers led to the rout. Kimball Jackson (assisted by Danny Samways), Alen Kapic (Ashton Kamdem), Josh Head (Max Miller), Ashton Kamdem (Owen Parrish), Tre Jervier (Diego Hoenderkamp) and Caleb Frakes (Carson Turpin) tallied the six goals in the Orange and Blue’s strong outing. Jack Moxom saved a penalty kick, holding a clean sheet in goal.
