:DThanks 44, appreciate the linky

[Z.I.P.]

While we're waiting -- and thanks to my pal Root4Roo44 4 da linky -- did ya see this score from CutterTown, or the broadcast on BigTenNet? Looks like they may have made the right move (trading the past for the present) after all. I believe we venture to Whosyourland later this season, correct?

[RootforRoo44]

[Z.I.P.]

GOALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! Darren Mattocks from 8 yards out on the left. 14:11. 1-0 Akron. The Irie era has begun in Akrontown.

GOAL!! Darren Mattocks! 1-0 Zips!

[Z.I.P.]

Notice -- Wake 7 fouls in the first 18 minutes. They are having a hard time keeping up with their faster opponent today.

[UAZips]

Nanchoff shot hits the crossbar.

[Z.I.P.]

Shot off the crossbar by Mike Nanchoff in the 22nd minute, Close call.

Did the shot actually hit the cross bar?

[UAZips]

Gametracker said it hit the crossbar. I can't watch the game, so I assume it did.

[Z.I.P.]

How's THIS for a WOW! Carolina -- remember them, the team we took apart two days ago? They took apart Seton Hall 4-1, the team that drew with Wake on the other side of this tournament. Heels should still be no worse than #3, in my opinion.

Meister stop pulling our leg! I can tell you for a fact that it hit the crossbar. It took off a piece of paint about the size of Darlington Nagbe's big toe!

[UAZips]

About 30 minutes in and Akron appears to be controlling the match. They lead in shots 4-0, corners 6-0. Wake has 8 fouls to Akron's 3. Of course most importantly, they lead in goals 1-0

[Z.I.P.]

Jared Watts, star of US U-17s into the game for Wake. He could be their most athletic player. Watch him. I mean you Zipmeister!

I always appreciate it when I get my game report triple checked. GO ZIPS

Any info on the yellow cards and substitutions followed by another WF foul? (following on tracker)

[Z.I.P.]

Thirteen fouls in the first half by Wake Forest. It didn't help them though apparently, as they trail 1-0 @ home to Akron at halftime.

Ref is NEO native and MLS ref Chris Penso. Wonder if the Wake homeys will cry "foul"?

[UAZips]

GOOOAL!!! Nagbe! Assist to Sarkodie. 2-0 at 53'

[Z.I.P.]

52:45 Darling My Darlington Nagbe. GOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! Akron 2-0. From 16 yards out. Assist to Sarkodie Rocks!

[johnnyzip84]

Must be getting a little chippy....4 yellows in the last 8 minutes (2 each)

[ZachTheZip]

Need to be careful. Don't want to give up a red card and play a man down.

There is a little discussion on the Wake board for anyone interested.
