Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAnd so we have Harvard playing Northeastern, with the following stats:
Harvard has won three straight, including quality win over BC.
Northeastern has lost 5 of its last 6 with its only win a nailbiting, last second OT victory over lowly UML.
Head to head, NU lost to Hartford 1-0 and Harvard beat them 4-1.
This all adds up to an easy win Harvard.
I don't think that is what will happen.

I watched - NU has good, fast but mostly small guys; its kinda like a very good D3 team. Harvard has had 3 games since BC last week.. and they came out tired and flat. When they got down 2:0 and desperate, they found some energy, and then the smaller NU players couldn't handle their speed and strength. If this wasn't Harvard's 4th game in a week, NU would have been blown out in the first half.

The sh*t-eating grin on BA as he walked onto the field 45 seconds after a volley outside the area sent him home with an certainly unexpected loss was.... priceless.. Let him take his foul mouth back to Boston

Check your facts...
Half the Harvard roster (15 guys) is over 6 foot and nobody is below 5'9". The NU roster - 8 guys are listed at below 5'9" (several at 5'6") and 8 are at least 6 foot. I'm not saying big is better - but with too many small guys, you will lose a physical game.. and that's what happened.

Tough loss for NU. I hope they hang in there. They have been on the wrong end of too many very close games. But, when it turns for them, it could go the other way very quickly. One of my boys played college soccer (not giving any more info here for the vultures) and in one of his four years they went 0-7 for their first games and then rang up 10 straight.
Finally all the NU bashers on this board are mostly idiots whose kids are not playing or will not play D1, I can guarantee that. No one who has a kid playing at this level posts crap like that.
You can smell them before they enter the room
Jealousy is a very ugly and weak trait

I don't think anyone is bashing NU - and plenty of the locals are supporters. BA on the other hand is pretty polarizing - people either love him or hate him - that's where the comments come from. His theatrics and filthy mouth - which his players copy - are aimed at getting the opposing team to lose their cool - he makes the game ugly.
