[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EIGHT long balls in 45 minutes!  Arlington can be proud.  [/quote]

An '04 player making his pro debut for Loudoun United and committed to the University of Virginia, yes, Arlington should be proud!

[/quote]

Eight long balls in 45 minutes in his debut game tells you a lot about the style of play.  And the long balls had 62.5 percent accuracy so it is not like he was pinging the balls accurately.   [/quote]

Hard to know how accurate he was without seeing the game don't you think?[/quote]

The tweet from Arlington about his debut, provided the stats, including the number of long balls attempted and long balls completed.  [/quote]

Sorry, the tweet was from DMV soccer, I misidentified it, but the stats are there. [/quote]

I know - but my point was that completion percentage doesn't really give you the full picture without the context of the game.  The incompletions may have been accurate passes into tiny spaces where the payoff could have been a goal.  Or they may have been hurried clearances where completion was less important than the clearance.  Or they may just have been inaccurate passes.[/quote]
