Am at work. Not like it would have mattered but was the 2nd half red card legit?

Hard to tell from the replay I saw but it probably was. They went to a video review. Elbow to the head going for a header and multiple Maryland players were extremely heated afterward, which is usually a sign that a line has been crossed.

Yeah. I watched the game when I got home. We were outclassed in every phase and tried to turn it into a rugby match. On the red card play it looked like our guy was trying take his head off. Gbandi getting tossed with 5 to go was an embarrassing look too. We were outshot 23-5. That’s not a referee issue. He was really mouthy to the Cornell staff last week too. Some of his behavior makes Hurley seem tame. Kinda concerning.

A solid season but we have room to get better.
 
Gbandi needs to build on this team's results. Considering all the departures and new faces going into this season, this was a very good outcome. Now we need to upgrade the talent and add some roster stability, if possible.

Going to be tough adding too much roster stability because we're losing a lot of important guys. Off the top of my head, Roudette-Gregory, Brummett, Tomerius, Charlie Holmes, and Balthi Saunders are all seniors or grad students. There's a chance some of those guys have another year of eligibility (Roudette-Gregory played a year of JuCo), but we'll definitely have a lot of spots to fill.

I also have to suspect Durham will probably get drafted because I think he impressed more than Jayden Hibbert or Kerkvliet but I could just be conflating his success with the team success I guess.

Not embarrassing at all. Coach G had heard enough lip from Sasho and his team. His defenders were tugging uniforms and clipping heals the entire match.
Sasho is idiot- always has been always will be. Known him for years
 
No comments on the World Cup draw? Seems a favorable group for USMNT

I don't think you could ask for any better. Key is we can win the group, theoretically play a lesser opponent to start the knockout round and at least reach the quarters. I really want Rayna to stay healthy and play until then

Was expecting the worst, right up until avoiding Ghana on the 4th line

The counterpoint is that none of the teams are bad either. None of those games will be easy. But they certainly can win the group.

Agree, but everyone would have signed up for this, I know I would have

I mean if we can't at least advance out, in our home country, shame on US soccer

A throwback to the 1980's from the facebook group "I Was At UConn in The 80's"

"The soccer team were like rock stars in the early 80’s at UConn."

I was a UConn student during that time period, and there is no question I agree with this statement, that is for sure.

Tom Thompson from St. Paul in Bristol. I think he may have only played freshman and maybe sophomore year. Soccer Sundays, nothing like it.
 
Washington Huskies defeated NC State. Go figure. NC State defeated the St. Louis Bilikens and Washington defeated Furman Paladins in the final 4.

Soccer is a cruel sport.

Marc Hubbard (former UNH coach who led them to the sweet 16 and who I wrote numerous emails to our AD pleading for us to hire this Hurley in the waiting in our backyard when Ray Reid retired) was that close to leading NC State to the championship in year 2.
 
3 of our players were taken in the SuperDraft.

#55 - Ayoub Lajhar (left back) to FC Cincinnati
#76 - Kyle Durham (goalkeeper) to San Diego FC
#78 - Austin Brummett (Striker) to Houston Dynamo
