I am so happy to see Ashton Kamdem in the starting lineup

 

He is going to have a great year at left back

16 Minutes left in the first half.  OSU now up 2-0.

OSU leads 2-0 at the half.

Our “chances” on offense have been lackluster

[Let'sGoZips94]

Whomever stated in another thread that we struggled with physicality in the exhibitions was dead on. Wow are we soft and seemingly lack the skill to work around the physicality.

An embarrassment. Jared should be ashamed to show his face on campus. OSUcks controlled every second of that pathetic match. I feel sick.

This looks like it is going to be a repeat of last year. Just cannot score. Teams just put pressure on us deep in our end of the field, we just cannot move it to midfield without a great deal of difficulty. That big crowd will drop very rapidly now.

No way to whitewash that disaster. If not for Mitch Budler, it would have been worse. I think that's the most unprepared I've ever seen our Men's Soccer team. No way blOSU is that good. Zips were atrocious.

Ever since 2018, when we got off to a bad start then caught fire and made it the NCAA finals, where we lost to a Maryland team which did not give up a goal in the entire tournament , the Zips have been on a slow but steady decline

[Reslife4Life]

What a disaster. Not even giving playmakers like Dyson and Malik chances to do anything all game. And WMU might be the worst opponent for our next game possible, especially if they play the same way they have played against us recently

[Reslife4Life]

And yeah I can’t imagine the crowds will be very big for a while

[Zip_ME87]

Sorry to say, but Dyson and Malik were part of the problem. They really didn't create much and were as guilty of not possessing the ball and making poor decisions as others.

WMU will play the same style as OSU but better.  Broncos will beat us 3-0.  Deplorable!  🤢 🤮

I have been to many UA soccer games over the past 25+ years.  I know very little about the sport in general and even less about the landscape of NCAA soccer.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I kind of felt like at the end of last year that the steam went out of this program. Did UA get poached through the portal/NIL? The tie against ND sucked me in.  Now I'm worried.
