with teams packing it in, the zips will be taking a lot of penalty kicks due to fouls in the box...

going to have to do better than 1 out of 3....that they have done in the last 2 games

very happy for Victor.....that he came thru huge late in the game

Totally agree. Hate to admit that I had to run to the restroom and missed the foul in the box. I did see Victor take and score the pk. Excellent on his part and happy to see him get the game winner. How questionable was the call? Tried to find video highlights on U@b's site but couldn't.

buffalo coach not happy with the call

the buffalo news writer twitter account...was bashing the zips all night

  • example :
  • Cicerone gets hit by vicious elbow to the head by Akron's Andrew Souders. Should have been straight red, was just yellow.

Thanks @TennZip. I don't normally get up during soccer games, but the way that game was going, I thought perhaps my stepping out for a moment might change the way things were going...a little sports superstition, I guess. Those refs were morons just like the refs at UAB. There were bad calls both ways. The penalty call UB got about 3 minutes into the game looked soft to me, but I haven't seen a replay of it.

On the webstream, Souders YC looked head to head, no elbow. Very aggressive and tough, but not dirty. Andrew was a bit late on the tackle. Yellow was warranted. Straight red would have been egregiously harsh.

I thought Buffalo's PK was a soft call, as was Zips' second PK.

*****************

We are in October now. Zips should convert every single chance from the spot - for the rest of the year. Seriously. How many have we missed this year?

ALL PKs should be converted, on every level, every league, every age group, every country. Obstacles are purely psychological. Players routinely accomplish much more difficult tasks than striking a stationary ball from the hash mark.

Were Akron historically better at PKs, Zips might have 4 stars on our shirts intead of only one (2005, 2009, 2012).

This PK discussion (I am currently having with myself) almost justifies a dedicated thread.
