Soccer Skills And Coming From Behind In Goal Scoring

June 13, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Chicago Fire And Portland Timbers

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soccer skills and coming from behind in goal scoring is so exciting as a fan to watch, but even better

when you are a player on the come back team. MLS teams fighting there way through a game and

never giving up is one of the best thing young players can be taught. 90 minutes in each game, each

minute is worth so much, could be minute 3 or minute 89, that minute of play can be the difference

between a loss or a tie or even that game winning goal. In each of these games you can see the tide of

momentum changing and one team putting pressure on the other and the pure excitement of a team

coming from behind. Chicago Fire, Seattle Sounders, and Real Salt Lake show the momentum swing

and how they react to this pressure, do they crumble or come together and respond.

Red Bulls vs New England

 

 

 

 

 

 

NY Red Bulls and Sporting KC stay on top with wins after a couple of tough weeks of MLS competition.
Both of these teams are hot after big wins with 4 goals in each of their matches. Red Bulls
Dax McCarty put NY on the board with a quick goal four minutes into the match with New England
Revolution. The 1-0 lead did not last long, as Brandon Barklage placed a rather clinical header into his own net while defending a set piece, two minutes later. Barklage made up for that mistake shortly after,
finding Espindola with a neat pass just minutes later, putting NY put for good leading to a 4-1 victory.
Sporting KC’s Claudio Bieler and Graham Zusi had great match against Chivas USA. After Sporting Kansas City got a man advantage on Chivas, KC’s
Bieler scored twice, the second time from the penalty spot after the ejection of Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy, while Zusi had a goal and an assist as Sporting KC snapped a two-game losing streak with a 4-0 victory over Chivas. The Eastern Conference is solid with 3 teams tied right now, KC’s Goalie Jimmy Nielsen took over Sporting’s club record with his 38th clean sheet in MLS and his sixth of the 2013 season.

Montreal Impact And Vancouver Whitecaps Start MLS 2013 undefeated.

O’ Canada, the MLS is changing power teams?  Not really, good start for these two upstart teams,

however two games into the regular season is way too early to say these two Canadian based teams

will compete for the MLS cup. Montreal starts off in the first 30 minutes with a nice bicycle shot n goal,

and with two goals in hand by the 60 minute mark, Portland could not seem to mount a real come back.

Vancouver Whitecaps also start off 2-0 undefeated in 2013, with a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew.

The Whitecaps put unbelievable pressure on all game. In the first five minutes Daigo Kobayashi hit a 30

yard strike for a long range goal to start off the match right. Kenny Miller finishes the game with a cool

strike to put it away. Hopefully these two teams can keep it up, we will see in late July when playoffs start our discussion. [Read more...]

Indiana Wins NCAA Mens Soccer Title for the 8th time beating Georgetown 1-0 in a huge defensive

battle on Dec. 9th, 2012 College Cup Final in Hoover, AL. Both teams were red hot coming into the final

match, with Georgetown in a penalty kick off win and Indiana knocking off a tough Creighton team.

Coach Todd Yeagley was so proud of this squad bringing the Cup back to Indiana University for the

Eighth time in their successful team history. Senior Goalkeeper Luis Soffner was on top of his game,

not allowing any goals in two matches, giving the IU offense every chance to seal the victories. In

the Championship Game, it was Junior Nikita Kotlov who put in the 63rd minute off of a centered

head ball to tuck in the victory. The whole IU defense was on top billing all weekend, dialing up two

shutouts to bring home the NCAA Div. 1 Mens Championship. TheSoccerInfo congratulates the victors.

Watch the game here on ESPN U on a reply of the entire match.
