NCAA Soccer Championship - Tarheels vs 49ers


Niner National

Recommended Posts

Not really a good forum for this, so thought I'd put it here.

Kinda cool that both teams playing the championship are from NC. Charlotte is one of the better defensive teams in the nation and the Tarheels are one of the best offensive teams in the nation.

Should be a fun game to watch. I'm not a soccer fan by any means, but I was on the edge of my seat for both games tonight.

Exciting game, badly officiated. Lots of cards that should have been given out to Charlotte and a horribly blown no call that should have resulted in PKs for Charlotte.

It was an entertaining run and I loved the fact that the Charlotte fans drowned out and celebration of the Tarheel team. Our team and our fans represented well, we just couldn't put the ball in the net.

We have most of our starters returning, but we do lose 3 critical starters including one first team all american. At least our leading scorer was only a freshman. This run, and that kind of fan support, will do nothing but help recruiting going forward.

The refs really did blow it. 2 inside the box penalties missed for Charlotte(likely at least one goal) and one penalty just outside the box for Carolina. A great one timer from 30 yards for the Carolina forward though, not taking anything away from him.

All in all a fun game to watch. Not too disappointed in a loss as we were playing with house money after beating Akron imo.

    • I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those. 
    • It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.
    • I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
