Blue & Gold Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Charlotte playing very aggressive. Not the pack it in style. Excellent. That pack it in style is a big reason Americans find soccer "boring," when, actually what Americans find boring is poor soccer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 ref had to have money on UNC. The game should be reviewed by the ref's committee. With Chico as the ref, charlotte would have won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooner49 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Obviously this was not the result we wanted. Refs probably missed a few calls that could have changed the outcome. I'm heading back from Hoover and could not be prouder of our boys and our fans. I think we opened the eyes of a lot of soccer fans around the nation tonight. Hope to see you guys on the schedule next year, or possibly in Hoover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gained great respect for your attitude, supporters, and program in general. I would not be surprised to see Porter get a game scheduled for next season. If it's at Akron, I expect you to bring a bus of students! Great season from your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see you guys on the schedule next year, or possibly in Hoover. That ref was horrible and missed calls both ways. Would have been a different game had he been on top of things. I have a lot of respect for your program and fans. You guys definitely deserved better than you got. Fantastic run knocking off the previous year's champion and the #3 and #2 seeds. As I told several of your fans when I was in Charlotte on Nov 27th, best wishes to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyake Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Charlotte's support group was very impressive for the National Championship. UNC's support group for the title game was very pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks ago, NCAA anounced U of San Diego as site/host for 2012 Women's College Cup. Unless something got past me (I've been watching for the site announcement for months), I am anticipating the 2012 men's CC to be back on the West Coast. There seems to be a general consensus that the East and SE sites have been too cold and underattended, compared with for example UCSB. I would support anywhere West of the Mississippi, where a big crowd is assured and is unlikely to have a home-team host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 My considered opinion on the final: Best NCAA final I can remember watching. Both teams seemed to be playing to score goals. No question that Charlotte was the better and more aggressive squad on the pitch. I was disappointed to see them lose a game they deserved to win. However it was good to see the story in this morning's paper start with the sentence that the Cup MVP played for the Akron Zips a year ago and was defending his own title. That said, I can understand somewhat the controversy over the referreeing. However, you have to understand that Mr Kennedy, the center ref, like every championship game ref in recent years, is a MLS ref. He called the game the same way he would an MLS game -- he allowed contact that is usually whistled in US college soccer. I happen to prefer that style of officiating. On the possible penalty call in the first half that coulda/would changed the result, I at first felt that he should have pointed to the spot as it appeared there was a tug of the jersey. But when I watched the replay, there didn't appear to be as much contact as it first appeared. I think if it were an MLS contest, it would have been a 50/50 call. Those often are let go. So, for those upset with the officiating, you should tell the NCAA to get college-only officials, as MLS refs should be expected to call an MLS-like game.

Now I'm starting to understand the NCAA. And that's scary! For those of us local to Akron, at least Hoover is drivable, even though it's further than Cary, NC was. Personally, I'd love to see the College Cup in Portland at Jeld-Wen Field. I'd be willing to bet many of the Pacific NW fans would be interested in attending and given that we have former players in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver as well as a Sounders Academy player, we could pick up some local support.

Neither have I, but its in a Minor League Baseball park, that's crummy enough for me. With the amount of soccer specific stadiums today, I just don't get it. Where the Women's College Cup was played this year, the place would be perfect, although I don't know if its big enough. Did anyone catch the attendance at this year's Men's College Cup Final? EDIT: I found the attendance for the entire weekend, 18,400. The final, 8,777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
