Wow….a disappointing game, more like a disappointing half. I am not usually positive but if you would have told me that Akron would make it to the elite eight at the beginning of the year, I would have been elated. Soccer is a brutal sport. The best team doesn't always win. The dominant team doesn’t always win. Losing any player would have been tough but losing Dreas was a backbreaker. He is a wonderful player and is able to do some much for the team. I hated the style of our penalty kick (see my post above) but at the end of the day - if we played with 10 men for any length of time we were going to lose. It just is tough because the bracket really broke Akron’s way this year. It is so tough to win a championship in soccer. One day we will get a second star but unfortunately not this year. I have no complaint with the players today (besides the penalty kick). I just think this wasn’t meant to be.
