Dave in Green Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 Virginia played a man down for all but 57 seconds of the match and still beat Marquette 3-1? If true, it's hard to be optimistic about what the Zips' chances against Virginia might have been. Quote

If true, it's hard to be optimistic about what the Zips' chances against Virginia might have been. That is why we must get these first few matches at home. Marquette were good but not great. If Akron were to play Marquette 10 times, Zips would win 6 or 7 of those. (Not every match would be played on an ice-skating rink.) BTW, Virginia are nothing great either, just another good ACC team.

Z.I.P. Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 The Zips get some support from the TDS 91st Minute blog for the Marquette game. Well, kinda at least -- throwing some doubt into the ref's calls on both Brenes' taking down, and the elbow to Gallego in the box. You be the judge... Quote

You be the judge... if they would have awarded a PK in regulation for Reinaldo being knocked down, then it should have been a PK in overtime. I felt it was deserving of a foul call Quote

I felt it was deserving of a foul call It was a foul toward Brenes and should have been a PK. But I will not whine about it. It's futbol. More egregious was the elbow to Gallego's throat. That was red card territory. And I agree with TDS, he might have won the call if he hadn't gone for the Spam. In Bryan's defence, that is exactly where he was injured vs. PSU, so the slightest blow likely hurt like hell. Playing to the refs only works when done well. I hope Bryan has never considered a career in theatre. Quote
