Any score on the Marine-Ireland game??

Ireland scored with less than 2 to go in 2nd OT to tie it up 3-3. Last FC shooter had a chance to tie in PK's, beat the goalie, it the post flush and bounced back into play. Ireland wins. -
Wow-sounds like an amazing game! Congrats to both teams!!Comment

Congrats to Marine for a job well done! Best game I have watched all season long. Too bad you girls couldn't of brought home a win. Class act to the girls, coaches, parents and club.Comment

did anybody else find it a bit rude the way ireland already had a pre-made banner that said champions 2010?Comment

I did. Especially since they have not been playing all that well throughout quarters, semis and even the final. FC totally outplayed and dominated 90% of the game yesterday. Much better soccer than Ireland. However, it is the goals that count and when Ireland tied it in the final moments of overtime, FC just got unlucky with the PK's. Marine is an excellent team and getting better every time I see them play. No doubt they will be state champs next year!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

did not know..............
Hey, do not beat up the Ireland girls or the parents for the banner. We were just as surprised as anyone else when it appeared.Comment

Besides, if it just said "Champions 2010" on it, the banner could have been made for any of the 4 teams THUSC had playing in the finals. It just might of happened this was the most exciting and thus the most deserving game.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

I saw the banner. Thought it was a little low.... but not as bad as some of the parents checking who they were sitting by on the plane to NM. I also pre-purchased tickets again. Good this they don't have to return them this time.
It is funny what parents will say when they don't know who they are talking around.Comment

The banner definitely said Ireland state champs 2010Comment

It was very poor taste indeed. Considering Marine whooped them pretty good in the spring and the only team to do so, I thought it was inappropriate.
Also funny, The THUSC coaches that showed up to the game a little late said loudly after they found out the score was 1-0 Ireland, "That's it game over, Marine is done." How funny to be so loud and arrogant and obnoxiuos. No wonder everyone speaks so unkind about THUSC. This weekend I saw many example as to why!Comment

really - this is the topic?
I don't have a daughter in this age group, but saw some of the final and was impressed with both teams.
Looking for some soccer talk about a great match, and get the losing parents complaining about a banner and the other club - really? I think a youth team that wins 4 state championships should be congratulated - very disapointing sportsmanship on display.
Both teams appeared to leave it all on the field - isn't this what we strive for for our kids. Nice work for the girls, not so much the parents on this site.Comment

Wow, this forum really is full of whiners. It's like people have nothing else to do but to find things to complain about. Why don't you email the NBA teams who put on the Western Conference Championships hat right after winning? I mean how dare they!!
These are 14-15 year old girls. If they wanted to make a banner in case they won then let them. The banner turned out to be accurate so I see no problem with them brining it out. If you're going to complain about something then at least make it worth it.Comment

The difference is the NBA pays for the hats/t-shirts and has them printed up for BOTH teams. The NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA and MLS has merchandise made for both teams; the losing team's merchandise is either destroyed or sent to needy orphanages around the world.Why don't you email the NBA teams who put on the Western Conference Championships hat right after winning?

I don't think OYSA paid for the banner, and certainly didn't have a similar banner made up for FC Portland in case they won. People wonder why THUSC in general is despised; there is a large difference between confidence and arrogance. Many of the THUSC parents and coaches have an arrogance about them--there is no humility or grace with winning. I mean, the first thing they do is come to a youth soccer forum to bellow about winning 4 State Cups. From Neon holding a press conference at a downtown Portland hotel when their players signed letters of intent, to Ireland parents pre-purchasing a State Champions banner, to Sodium's blogger, there is very little class displayed with their winnings. And that makes a big difference, because however nice the kids may be, it's their parents and coaches who make the largest contribution to their poor reputation.Comment
