Soccer on BTN
30 minutes left 0-0 against 4th ranked Akron. Michigan is hanging in there.
[Ed - PGB: I'm so glad this thread was posted. Along these lines, is there anyone in the MGoCommunity that has the ability to provide regular updates to the Board on things related to Men's Soccer? I think it would be a great service. I would do so myself but I am not on campus and don't really have access. It would be cool if someone there near the pitch could provide regular updates by way of a Diary. Any interest? <looking at you, msoccer10>]

This is the way it should be for all of soccer. A clock that countdowns.
October 18th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
That and/or the termination of stoppage time. Stupid.
October 18th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
Meh, stoppage time, while too arbitrary at times, does serve to combat the stalling tactics that some teams would utilize on substitutions, dead balls, and embelished injuries.

double post...

American thinks of rule changes to fix soccer, how novel.

Let's go blue!
October 18th, 2011 at 9:43 PM ^
Goooooaaaaall!! Nice job boys.

Damn, what a chip! Announcers are saying it might be the biggest upset of the year and the biggest win in our programs' history.
October 18th, 2011 at 9:44 PM ^
beating Akron is the "biggest win in the history of the program"? Is that correct?
October 18th, 2011 at 9:47 PM ^
I might disagree with beating Maryland at Maryland in the NCAA's last year might top that allowing us to advance. But, don't scoff at Akron, they are one of the top, if not the top college men's soccer team year in and year out.

Wow, I missed the goal! Atleast we won.
October 18th, 2011 at 9:47 PM ^
If I hadn't seen it here, I wouldn't have seen the game winner.
Thanks.

Great to see the boys get something going their way. Its been a rough year after losing arguably their two best scorers in Soony Saad and Justin Meram. On top of that the ball just hasn't been bouncing their way with 3 of their losses coming in overtime as well as the Butler loss being very close with a pk to tie with seconds left that got stopped. Hopefully they can use this game as a springboard into the B1G tourney in a few weeks.

karma go blue, and then they get to lose to us in football in 2013.

So whats our projections for the rest of the year? Could we feasibly set fire and win the Big Ten again?
October 19th, 2011 at 7:21 AM ^
HUGE win for the Wolverines tonight against the Defending National Champions..This could be the game that gets Blue on a roll going into the Tourney...Watch out B10!
October 19th, 2011 at 11:09 AM ^
great game last night. wish I had dvr to re watch it. i know prolly not a good chance anyone has this game on a torrent? Go blue.

Not to be debbie downer, but I don't think Michigan will make much noise in the B1G tournament. Our offense has been suspect all year (not that this should be a surprise due to losing arguably the best forward in the nation last year) and while we have taken I think 6 games to OT this year, we rarely we able to put the ball in the back of the net. We also had a favorable home schedule this year against our opponents and failed pretty miserably. We have won more games on the road than we have at home. The upcoming NW game in a week or so will be very interesting. It will set the tone (paired with the game against MSU) for the tourney.
That being said, we are hosting the Big Ten Tourney this year, so if we can manage to play better at home we have a shot. Our play at the Soccer Stadium has improved throughout year, as we realized how to play without a star forward. I think we get to the semifinals and lose in OT, but with a lucky bounce or call that goes our way, we can make some noise.
