This game has to be one of the poorest games I've seen in a long time. Both teams seem lack tactical and technical expertise. Lack of penetrative passes, poor ball control, too much back passes etc etc etc. I prefer watching the U17 games, the players there are playing with a great deal of maturity and skill.
And to think, Coaches like reid are sitting on a BIG salary for 20 odd years... I want a wuk so yes. The next one is Karl kremser at FIU, he has a quality team, excellent young players and if he don't win with that group that he has, he should be fired

i think i hear them say that Julius James..the UConn captain is a Trini too..yeah the game was looking shitty too lol

Fairfax, Va. - Senior forward Teba McKnight (Couva, Trinidad) scored two goals for the Patriots to help lift George Mason University's men's soccer team to a 3-1 victory over visiting La Salle Tuesday evening. With the win the Patriots improve to 3-3 on the season, while the Explorers fall to 2-4-1.
McKnight did not waste any time as he scored his first goal of the season off of a breakaway shot from about five yards out. It hit the right post and bounced in the net at the 1:30 mark to put Mason on the board. Next, freshman midfielder Jonathan Borrajo (Clifton, N.J.) netted his first goal of the season as he fired off a shot from long range to watch it sail pass La Salle's Danny Pfieffer in the middle of the net.
Mason would enter the break with a 3-0 lead after McKnight found the corner of the net off of a pass from junior midfielder Josh Fleming (Fairfax, Va.).
"I think that the team responded well tonight after coming off of some losses," said head coach Greg Andrulis. "We had some terrific goals tonight and it is great to see that the team is coming together."
The Explorers lone goal of the evening came from freshman forward James Guntle who scored off of a header as sophomore midfielder Jeremy Ortiz dished out the assist.
Goalkeeper Eric Barnes (Fr.; Aiken, S.C.) saw action in the net for the entire contest for Mason and tallied three saves, while Pfieffer collected eight saves and allowed three goals on the night.

FIU in Miami have three excellent Trinis on their squad, Carron Williams, who was Conference USA player of the week just recently and he is among the top in several footballing catergories in the nation. There's the defender Sheldon jardine and the freshman whom I really like, Judah Hernandez from Arima. I saw this youth throughout preseason and he is tears... fast, very very very skillful, could kick with both feet and very very very skillful. FIU is ranked 20th in the nation and if managed right they could be contenders... They have some really nice players at FIU in miami and most if them are freshmen...

Yeah. Looked at the game and it was technically defieicnt, considering the fact that these were two top-12 teams. The problem with college soccer is that the players lack composure and the coaches play not to lose. They take little time to play the ball out of the back, and the midfield is often bypassed due to long balls out of the back. I played college soccer and work in collegiate athletics, but I always say that college soccer is an ugly version of the beautiful game.

Yeah NCAA soccer is very seldom a spectacle, but it's difficult to play......those guys are tough players, but the game is a little too americanized in my opinion and as a result lacks rhythm.........
What they lack in poise and composure is often made up for (to a certain extent) in discipline, physical condition and work-rate.
In the same way that American senior and youth soccer is adapting/has adapted to the world game, (American nat'l teams have been playing more and more sophisticated int'l level soccer in the last 10 years)..... I think the NCAA will adapt over time.
