Well tonight is probably one of the biggest 2nd round playoffs games besides maybe Irmo v. Mauldin. What we've got is a rematch of the opening game of the 2012 Raising Canes Carolina Classic from late February. Lexington won that game 1-0 late and took away Wando's #1 National pre-season Ranking. Yes the 10 academy players had played against the Columbus Crew no more than 2 hours earlier, so their coach held them out.
Now with all those kids fresh and pumped up for this game, do you still think Lexington has a chance. There are many mixed feelings about this game, and i wanted comments on this game and why you think a certain team will win. Both have good arguments...well begin.

So, is it safe to say that the TEN players who were missing were Wando's better players? If so, what would make one think that Lexington has a chance?
I know you always have a chance but seems to me that it may be a snow balls chance.

Full credit to Lexington for playing tough in the Palmetto Cup game and not allowing Wando's many shots to see the net. However, the goal scored by Lexington, while well executed, could not be said to be indicative of their offense during the game. The ball took a bad hop in the final third and Lexington took full advantage of the situation creating a one on one with the keeper. Sometimes, this is the way things go in soccer - one slip decides the day. Again, Lexington fully deserved the win for staying focused the entire game. The constant reference to possible missing or fatigued Wando players' effect on the outcome of this game really doesn't accurately portray how the game unfolded.

Wando fully dominated all aspects of this game. They completely deserved the win.

Just have to chime in real quick. The only player that did not play against Lexington the first time what Hamilton due to injury. All others played. We have improved since then. Imagine players improving while playing high school soccer

Whoever thought Lex had a chance was/is completely silly. Wando is going to win it all without a challenge.
