[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was a great game.  [b]Both teams played well[/b]. UVA had the better of possession but did not dominate by any means as Gtown created more scoring opportunities. Close game the whole way. Probably one of the best ncaa men’s soccer finals I’ve seen.

There was some loose defending in that game.[/quote]

And some rough defending by UVA as well.  Hard professional fouls that were a second late and deserved cards.

It was an interesting game to watch.  UVA's 9 was a beast who just bulled over people then cried for a foul.  GT had some nice combinations to finish.
UVA won the game when it was physical and lost when it was finesse.  That surprised me as I expected UVA to win with better finesse, but they played to their perceived strength I guess.

As to the PKs, the bloked PK Gunnarson took wasnt great but was not as bad as several from GT and UVA before it that went down the middle and were unsaved only because the GK guessed wrong.  Gunnarson just had the bad luck to have a GK guess right finally.
At that point as that end showed PKs are a coin toss and not really any distinguisher of heart, skill, courage, or anything other than luck.  
We've lost the value of a tie in a search to see who is "the best".   [/quote]
