icchamp1 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Balogun is having a terrible game, but the Zips have started to put some things together. I just hope it's not too little too late. Don't have to worry about that anymore, Stevenson just replaced him. Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 And even as poorly as we're playing, I still feel like we are the better team. Charlotte scored on their only chance of the game. Soccer can be insanely frustrating or beautiful in that regard. Depends on which side you're on. Quote

UAZipster0305 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 I spoke too soon. Big save by Meves. I thought we were done for sure. Quote
AkronZip54321 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 this doesnt have the feel of a round of 16 NCAA game with the emotion of the players or the atompshere (of what we can see) of the stadium. were so flat right now, sigh Quote

Everything about this game is flat! Yet there are 2100 fans there, and the announcer calls it a "great crowd"? Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 This boot ball is TOTAL CRAP Yep. So much for the beautiful game. But when we're so out of sync that we can't possess the ball and move it through the midfield, what's left? Now our defense is looking terrible up the middle. I don't know what's going on. Quote
bisbee Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 We have given the ball away more times in this game then in any this year. No spark at all...we are letting an inferior team beat us and IT SUCKS Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 We can't seem to connect any passes through the midfield. That's what sucks! Quote
bisbee Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 why the fuck doesnt holmes take that shot Quote
bisbee Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Frustrating that we have resorted to desperation with boot ball instead of via passing Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 We didn't deserve to win this one. Out of sync the entire game. Yes, maybe we got robbed on having a goal called back and maybe Charlotte's goal was soft, but they did what was necessary to win, and we didn't. Not to mention they had two really good opportunities that they didn't score on. We didn't even have that. Just a lot of corners (and not enough that were put across) and few shots on goal. Prior to the season and given the losses to our roster, no one expected us to win the National Championship. Realistic expectations had us winning a few Tournament games and we did that. We met expectations...nothing more, nothing less. The key to beating us was to shut down Mattocks. Even mediocre teams that managed to do that had the opportunity to win. Good luck to Charlotte. On to next season for us. Basketball and a new football coach here we come. Quote
zipsfan13 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 What an embarrassing performance tonight. They looked terrible out there. Quote
bUAkronG Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Sorry boys but the better team won today. Outplayed from end to end. No possession, and when we did have it we kept it in the air. What the hell is that? That is not the same game I've seen the Zips play all year. Quote
The Hip Zip Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Sorry boys but the better team won today. Outplayed from end to end. No possession, and when we did have it we kept it in the air. What the hell is that? That is not the same game I've seen the Zips play all year. Credit to the victors. They seemed to be a step quicker to the ball most of the night. After what we lost from last years squad advancing to the sweet 16 was not the poorest of seasons. I'm still damn proud of this team. Quote
GLOID Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 I agree completely. Tough to win after all that was lost last year. Quote
bobbyake Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 This is a heart breaker, i thought the new lineup was the real deal to take us all the way. btw how did this thread turn into the game thread? The watch party had around 40 people including a MLS player. Was a good year with lots of great memories for us fans. We have the draft next and then we root for Porter as the US23 coach. We're a young team losing only a few players. I look forward to next year. Again, sucks we lost, but there were a lot of positives this year. Tailgating tradition for soccer games will continue next year. Quote

Everything about this game is flat! Yet there are 2100 fans there, and the announcer calls it a "great crowd"? I'm not sure that number is correct. We had over 4,000 for our exhibition against UNC Chapel Hill and there looked to be about the same size crowd tonight, if not more. Regardless, your fans were loud, passionate, and classy. We were impressed with the crowd that made the trek. You guys have a good program and I wish you the best of luck in the seasons to come. Quote
Crew8 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 The final third or even the middle third had no connections. We just couldn't crack Charlottes back line. (Reminded myself of watching Celtic FC backline in Champions League, no shots on goal, just defense. Kit similarity helped too) Darren was non-existent or the entire attack. We were shut down. Although we have a new foundation for next season. can't wait. Quote
MDZip Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Mildly disappointing ending, Charlotte has a good team, I wish them luck. Would be nice to see another mid-major win the National Title instead of the usual suspects. Replacing seven starters and still making the sweet sixteen? Still damn good but I am glad Porter doesn't think so. Another great year for Zips soccer. Quote
