Jeesh. Pukon is absoultely destryng the hoyas. 51-24 at the half. Going back to watching Premier League soccer! LOL! 


Yeah where there's more scoring. /media/kunena/emoticons/wink.png/media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png






 

I know. That's what everybody says. I used to say that too! But since I really got into it, I've learned to appreciat ethe game so much more and I realize now it's not just about the scoring. It's way more than that. And I enjoy watching immensely whether it's a 7-0 game or a 0-0 draw.                                Soccer on the World Class level is more strategic than you think . It's like a game of Chess .  They probe for weaknesss and exploit matchups .  The skill levels are off the Charts st this level and that contributes to low scoring usually . 

And that's exactly why Slyfoxx, that I don't watch MLS games. IMHO, there's such a huge drop off in skill level from EPL, or other leagues, that it is not enjoyable to me.

F MLS. Fams too mellow. When we were in Turkey we went to see Galatassaray ( spelled wrong I'm sure ) play and they had lieterally a huge fence surrouning a section for the opposing teams fans and the other fans tried climbing the fence to attack them. that was fun to watch. Then another time we were in Chile and wwere going to go to a game for the big team in Santiago and apparently fans got banned from the game for previously shooting fireworks in the stands and onto the field and the military was there with tanks and armored personell carriers to prevent riots. if Nat wasnt there with me the stories arent even believeable

Damn Nova starting the second half on a 11-0 run to cut the lead to six. Ugly basketball by Providence 

 

[paultzman]

Nova cuts lead to 8, Arcidiacano's brother in for Nova & has three flops already, family tradition

Arch Bros drink from same fountain as Greg Paulus and JJ Redick.

Injuries mounting up on Villanova.  Moore turned his ankle.  

Thanks.  I just got in and heard the announcers say they were done two players.  I knew Gillespie was one but didn't know who got hurt during the game.

Guess Cooley lit a fire under PC after that 2nd half the other night. Let's see if history repeats itself. 
                             You can bet that talk wasn't as nice as his Divine Providence commercial . 

 

[TonyinFairfield]

Nova down by four and going to the line for two. Wow! If the Friars lose this game their fans will be even louder calling for Cooley's hide!

 

[MJDinkins]

Villanova hung around and now has a chance to cut the lead to two once play resumes.

 

[espken]

PC shooting Nova back into the game. Down to 4 with under 4 mins. to go.
 

 

[paultzman]

Cooley facing another second half collapse perhaps as Nova trails by 3 with under 4 minutes left.

 

[TonyinFairfield]

Nova now up by one! Wow!

 

[Sjugrad13]

I cannot believe Providence is collapsing like this. I can't believe how much Cooley has bombed this season. No excuse to be this offensively inept with Watson & Duke on your team.

 

[SLYFOXX1968]

No Quit in Cats..

 

[MJDinkins]

Those two misses by Slater may do it for 'Nova.  

 

[Sjugrad13]

What a crazy ending to a terrible game. 

 

[Porgyman]

PC lucks out. Nova misses a 3 at the buzzer. PC wins by 2.

Cooley is one lucky coach .It was a hair from another bad coaching preformance​

That's kinda like saying that Leon Spinks won a boxing match by the skin of his teeth. ​

 

 

[Lambsbball]

Villanova couldn't overcome injuries. They'll play even harder in the BE T.

 

 

[usguard]

That's funny although that was not intentional
