College Cup 2017: Dec 8, Akron v. Stanford

[fknbuflobo]

That’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout!

[GoZips88]

Any idea why there was only a single announcement over the PA system at last night's men's basketball game regarding Zip soccer Friday night? Nothing on the large video boards of any kind and only the single mention that I recall. This team is two wins away from another National Championship and it gets "Oh, by the way ..." mention like that?

Nice little shout out in Cool Cleveland!

 

Freshman Zips defender Daniel Strachan (#25) was finishing up his senior year at Lakewood High School a year ago. In his freshman year at Akron he has started every game, and now the soccer star, who previously played for Internationals Academy of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy and was rated as the 18th-ranked player in the Great Lakes Region this year, is hoping to make a dream come true by becoming NCAA champions. After beating Louisville this week, TopDrawerSoccer.com named Strachan, along with Akron teammates goalie Ben Lundt (of Berlin, Germany) and fellow defender freshman Joao Mouthino (of Lisbon, Portugal) to its National Men’s Soccer Team of the Week.

I really, really, really, hope Joao doesn't leave after this season.

We'll be alright.  Think we'll see goals too!

Any mistakes, they make you pay!  Obviously...Pau made one.  Must make up for it!

Need Egbo

[roopride]

Go Zips. Game on at Legends in Green

[malonepioneer12]

Need some energy and some quicker ball movement.  Is Stanford really that much better than us?   We deserve to be losing that is for sure. 

[Z.I.P.]

Not sure how long Cardinal can keep up that D pressure.  Having watched them several times in PAC-12 play, this is far above their normal level.  Kudos to them and coach Gunn.  We will see in next 20 minutes if Zips can change it.

DANGIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP THOSE SHOTS!!!!!!!!

[Let'sGoZips94]

We have no idea (right now) how to attack space atop the box and rip shots. This is frustrating to watch. 

[malonepioneer12]

Unfortunately the better team is winning. Why would Egbo not get in until late in the second half?  Zajec has done nothing in the last few games.
