Lmfao this is bait

Quote from: SKUD on December 05, 2024, 08:42:32 PMSo we can say it was a horrible call but more horrible would be to ignore it.

I did see it on a 56" tv in slow motion.  it looked like he might have gotten ball (inconclusive) and then tripped the player in the box. I am not a ref and don't have a rule book. If it played out how I saw it, is it a foul or not?

Where's college soccer observer when you need him!

I don't think the commentator realizes that there's a ton of bad blood between these teams lol.

In any case, that was quite a decision by the ref

Certainly late

Quote from: paclassic89 on November 24, 2024, 06:05:04 PMIt probably did but you have to play to the whistle.  Insane that the UWEC right back completely gave up on the play before a call was made. 

edit: replied to a deleted comment about the ball going out of play before Amherst's 2nd goal

my bad man, still learning how to use this thing lol

the crazy thing is that watching it again, it looks like the ball may have gone out.  if it didnt, then Nuhu looks like he was offside on the pass from the Amherst centerback

but totally agree with playing to the whistle

Quote from: SierraFD3soccer on November 23, 2024, 01:59:32 PMEarly tournaments MVP, Will Joseph?? Allowed 2 goals over three games along with many pk saves.

Solid for Joseph, feels like a good time to mention Middlebury freshman Keagan Harder has scored in all 3 NCAA games (4 total goals including 2 game winning goals).... coming off the bench

Shades of Adrian Zimmerman from Washington and Lee back in 2021

looks like Midd-CMS feed is back

certainly a foul

Quote from: gocamels on November 10, 2024, 12:29:32 PM1-0 Conn. Great goal and well deserved as they have been the better team so far. 1st goal is always huge in a final, let's see how both sides respond

Pretty good response from Midd

my man is out here starving for attention lmfao

Quote from: D3Reporter on October 31, 2024, 10:36:16 AMRegardless of who wins DPOY, these Midd and Tufts defenses have been phenomenal this year, tied at No. 4 nationally for GAA despite SOS. Hoping we'll see these teams clash at least once more this year.

I watch more of the Jumbos than the Panthers, so I'll add a bit more on them. One of the things that has really stood out to me about this defensive group is just how deep it is. They really have five guys that have all performed well and have gotten significant minutes in that back four. The full group is so talented that out of the additional guys, one has become a starting winger with other injuries and two more get important minutes at winger and a 8/10 role (particularly when the Jumbos are up a goal in big-time games). That doesn't even mention that they realistically have three top-tier CDMs who in my mind would each start on almost any team in the country. With the injuries they've had, this has allowed them to stay strong there.

That's fair, but I think all of these things are also true of Midd.  Which is why they are both in the top three lol.

Hopefully they will get to play each other again.

Quote from: camosfan on October 31, 2024, 08:35:34 AMTufts starting back four is the best this year and this is both as a unit and individually. Number 13 from Middlebury is the only defender up there with that group.

Not sure what this is being based on? I'd say very fine margins - both defenses gave up 6 goals with pretty much the same schedules......Massey defense rankings  are identical. Amherst with 7 GA....Conn had 5 until the final game of the season...All top 5 in Massey defense rankings. Lots of good units and individuals out there.

Yeah I agree, the initial post was a lazy one

Quote from: nescac1 on October 22, 2024, 08:57:15 AMAfter last night, the NESCAC is a pretty insane 40-4-6 combined in non-league play.  Certainly a strong argument for including a sixth NESCAC team in the NCAA tourney pool if one can make a run to the NESCAC semis (I agree that five in should just about be a lock at this point).  That includes a solid league-wide 2-0-4 record against non-NESCAC top-25 teams. 

completely irrelevant stat as the non conference teams they played were garbageholio. SCIAC teams - example CMS knocked of St Olaf. NESCAC dominance fades this year in the tourney easy. The bottom half of Nescac is garbage.

tell us how you really feel! lmfao

Tufts-Midd finishes 0-0 in Medford, probably about the right result tbh
