Was not as even as you make it sound. MA put pressure on the last 10 minutes, but the first 80 minutes were controlled by WA.

Hmmm...I was also at the game. Milton had 3 breakaways stopped by the WA keeper. Milton also had great goaltending stopping two good chances. WA missed wide on another opportunity and nearly grabbed a goal on a quickly taken free kick.
Possession was certainly 60/40% in favor of WA for the game but closer to 50/50% in the second half. Furthermore, it could easily have been 1-1 at the half were it not for the great save made by the WA goalie on the first breakaway. To say "controlled" by WA is an overreach. Take a look at the video replay and I think you'll realize this game could have been 3-1 Milton as easily as it could have been 4-0 WA. My guess is that the corners and deep throw ins were basically even, the shots on goal 6-3 in favor of WA.
I think WA has some impressive talent and deserved the wn but give Milton its due....they could also have come away with the win had the WA goalie not stood strong.

I just watched the entire video replay as you requested and stand by my original statement. The better team won today. 2 (not 3) fluky semi breakaways does not make up for 80/20 possession and 6-8 QUALITY scoring opportuntiites. Those 2 semi breakways were the only time the keeper had to make saves over the course of 90 minutes. This game is in the past. Looking forward to Andover.

Amazing to me how you watched the entire video replay of a 90 minute match in the 20 minutes between our Talking Soccer posts.... But whatever you say.....maybe should have thought that one through a bit.....BTW..."Semi breakaways"!!!!!...when a striker is one on one with the goalie it is a breakaway. Your credibility is a bit suspect. Just saying.
I played the video at 5x the speed and cut out the commercials. Do you want a copy to watch on Saturday during your free time?
No Thanks, I'll rewatch at normal speed, record the minutes of possession and repost with real data. I hate when people are caught out in lies and the dig themselves into deeper untruths with artificial rationalizations
Enjoy playing Andover on Saturday. It should be a good match up. I'll repost after I watch in normal speed....I may even watch the commercials also...

Enjoy the movie....the bloopers at the end with the Milton parents constantly yelling at the refs are priceless.
