Akron Zips Soccer 2011

  • Pick6
    The defending national champions have a lot of new faces, but have high expectations again. Started off the season with a 5-0 victory over Cleveland State at home, which was also the only team to defeat them last year. They also have a draw against Cal St. Fullerton, a 2-1 victory over Cal St. Northridge, and a 4-0 win over St. Louis.

    If you are interested in checking them out, they play #16 New Mexico tonight at 7pm at home. The game will also be shown live on Fox Soccer Channel.

    Yeah I sort of expected the beating against CSU after what happened last year. Though my brother is done playing for CSU so I didn't care as much.

    I love the style of soccer that Akron plays though, hopefully more colleges pick that up.

    There are multiple polls but I believe I saw #3 in 2 of the 3.

    Love Akron soccer and the way they play (when it isnt at the expense of IU). I was very pleased they got over the PK meltdown in 2010 and were able to take the 2011 crown. I doubt they repeat, with so much lost. But they have a ton of talent so they will be fine. Just dont see the experience for another Tourney run. I say last 8 and bounced by someone.

    Yeah, they tied 1-1 last night. New Mexico scored a late goal after Mattocks got red carded. He is one of the best players in the country but is a head case. The team is still very good, and i expect them to make some noise, but I just dont see another championship this year.Hopefully I am wrong. What was it..5 of the top 10 taken in the draft was from Akron, thats losing a lot of talent.

    It was ridiculous. I believe it was 5/8 and 7 players overall (in first 2 rounds)

    2, 3, 4, 7, 8

    On an unrelated note :laugh:, Indiana had the 10 and 11 picks.

    Not all of those kids drafted were seniors right? Akron has been unreal the last 2 years, this year I think they are just very good.

    No. In fact, Darlington Nagbe (first selected) didnt even start all 3 years he was at Akron.

    You are right. There were several underclassmen.

    Is this a serious thread about soccer? I hope this was started as a joke considering it isn't even a real sport. Red card, Yellow card, watch the retards run.
