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 love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
    • Here is my theory--The Giants are not 100% happy with their pass rush--15 sacks combined between Thib (6) and Burns (9).  In 2026, The Giants will have to make a choice about Thib.  They would then have 2 Edge rushers on second contracts--probably costing around $65m for both.  Many teams want edge players; draft Carter and trade Thib.  Carter's second contract would be due when Burns' contract expires.  In essence, the Giants would have better Edge rushers at a cost of about $40m.  You could probably get a high draft pick for Thib and save $25m. All that to say, "I don't think they are set at edge yet."
    • I think we should, start new for the playoffs if everyone’s game.
