Just to let you know- CAK Beat Science Hill 2-1 tonite and "sources" say that Tarr scored both of the goals. Two goals doesn't seem to overrated. I hope to meet Tarr sometime

2-1 CAK. Great Game.

Hmmmm. For a freshman with as many goals and assists I would say that that seems like an interesting statement. In what way would you say he is overrated?

I would have to say saving a goal because if ball that I just touched went into the goal that would be a bad thing.

Are you guys basing your comments about great keeper's purely on the game's score? There is a lot more to Goal Keeping than can be shown on a scoreboard. A good defense could make a GK look good if all your going by is the score. You also have to consider how well the keeper controls his defense and how well he is respected by his team. A keeper who is very skillful but shows no class doesn’t rank very high in my book. Just some observations.

I once witnessed a game where the ball exploded during a hard cross.

Thats crazy! Surely it was (as someone else suggested) a defect in the ball because they're pretty tough.

I believe this is a forum, not a boasting board.But so we have something to discuss: Where are the located and what division are they in?

By the way it should look like this-

LOOK OUT FOR FORREST THIS YEAR!!!!!

Some refs are good, some are bad, but they all have poor games at some point. I think one thing that sometimes gets them into trouble is they let a few things slid then they kind of lose control of the game (They just there to be the final word- the coach should keep his players in line) and in an attempt to recover their authority they make calls that are iffy. I guess that makes sense. But one thing is for sure- Refs deserve a lot of credit. Most all the time at any given call one team or the other will be upset about it unless it’s a really blatant foul. They are human.

I believe LC won 10-0 with all 10 goals coming in the first half. Wasn't there though.

Wow. Talk about changing your defensive tactics.

I don't know about High School sports in Tennessee, but it seems that soccer in general is growing in popularity across the United States. When your parents were your age the majority of schools didn't have soccer teams and the only way they could be on a team would be to join a recreational league if there is even one in there area. To sum up my opinion: Soccer is gaining in interest in the large scale. (But perhaps not in certain areas and possibly just for younger age groups when anyone can play, not just the people that are good...)

FRA should be the preseason favorite, besides hasn't the CAK team won  state two times in a row? 3 times would be almost impossible with as many good teams as  there are out there

It will be interesting to see if they can pull it off without last year seniors.

    "football is obviously more fun to watch, and if you understand the game it can be great to see in person and watch the reads and coverages. soccer, i would have to say, is more fun to play. it is played so that mistakes can be made without causing a huge swing in momentum. and because of the lack of scoring it can make for some very close games."

I get frustraited watching either sport. I would rather be playing than watching- but thats not always an option.

football is a great beacause it is such a team sport nothing can work unless everyone does there job

825608035[/snapback]

The exact same thing can be said about soccer...

Thats why these games are called team sports.

Nothing checks you out like football.  It takes all 11 players to make the offense, defense, or special teams work.  As for your comment about football players being dumb, you have no idea.  In soccer all you have to do is chase a ball around and kick it.  In football you must know what the play is and know how to run it.  I know it takes good foot skill and agility to be good but it takes a mentally and physically tough person to put on the pads.  Its is the closest thing to boot camp that any other sport.  The good thing with both sport any any other sport is that it is a positive thing for kids to do with all the negative things that go on in the world today.

Oh man- don't get me started. Ok well for now lets just agree to disagree. But I do like your comment that any sport is better than idle hands (as the saying goes- they are the devils workshop…)

i like soccer more than football because star football players are probably the most arrogant people on the planet and almost all football players are dumb as rocks and just as pretty

825606206[/snapback]

That’s a pretty gross stereotype, but on some levels I can see your point. I think you would agree that some of the football jocks are very popular at school (a.k.a. good looking) and some others aren’t so blessed but that seems to be in most all sports.

i play both football and soccer and there are pros and cons to each sport.  the best thing about football is the closeness that exists between the players.  i play both and i feel there was a closer bond between within the football team. im not sure the reason of this.  but soccer is amazing because the importance of everyone playing their role.  its harder for one dominant player to take over in soccer than in football. its hard to choose one sport over the other though

Like I said, I have played both soccer and football both for school and “club”, and I was surprised that you thought football team’s were closer. Our 18 man +/- soccer team is much closer that our seemingly 30 person football team. As a soccer team we share a brotherly love but it seemed sometimes all the football team shared was grunts. This could be reversed for your club or school though. I was being a bit facetious about the grunts, but you get my point.

I was talking to a bunch of guys the other day and soccer came up in the conversation. They all started laughing at us "foot-fairies". I was wondering what reasons you would give if asked why you like soccer. Personally one reason I like it is because the way the game flows so smoothly and every move isn't a set play like football. (I used to play football but I decided I liked soccer more, so don't accuse me of being one sided- to each his own)

What school has the smallest track and field team? The Biggest? What is, in your opinion, the average number?

Columbia lost its assistant coach to an injury today.

What injury did the assistant coach get and how? Was it on the field during a practace or unrelated to soccer?
