SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Lowerstate Championship: Irmo v. Wando

Since this is going to be the only real matchup this Tuesday in AAAA, who ya got? I'm going with WANDO because of their tougher out-of-region schedule, home field advantage, and their desire! Irmo is not going to be able to handle the intensity and level that Wando will bring, because they haven't seen anyone that matches their skill all year.

Not to mention Ralphy and Co. aren't going out to those blond-headed babies!! Go Warriors!

Irmo....3-1

and no one from wando should ever call any one babies with a player (#5) crying like a ___ as he leaves the pitch simply because he is not strong enough to take a yellow, yes yellow, card because he can't shut his mouth and play ball

lone wando goal scored by lundy...he's got sick control over the ball...great player, but the only "great" player wando has

I think Wando comes out hard but Irmo survives the first 15 min. then settles down to play their style of soccer which will produce goals.

final: Irmo 3 Wando 0

I think Irmo wins in a very close hard-fought match. They held up well versus a very aggressive West Ashley and look to be the stronger side.

Wando has not seen a team that plays with the speed of Irmo. After seeing both teams play this year, Wando will have to play faster. Irmo has the players to neutralize Lundy. In the end Irmo should have to much for Wando. Irmo should end the Wando's home winning streak. Wando has a chance if the Louis Armstrong music played during warm ups causes the Irmo players to go to sleep.

The IRMO vs Wando rivalry is huge. Both teams will be up for this and with players like Lundy and Burkholder for Wando, IRMO can expect to see a highly skilled attack. Burkholder can strike with his left or right and he has a flip throw to rival that of IRMO's Padula.

Wando can expect to see a relentless and overpowering swarm of offensive talent from any number of players from the back line, midfield and forward positions who not only attack well but defend like there is no tomorrow.

I'm not gonna say IRMO won't get give up a goal (I hope they don't) because I respect the outstanding skill of Lundy and Burkholder, but scoring on IRMO is like poking a hole in the "HIVE". If that happens, this team has the character to move to completely different level.

Everyone should come out because this promises to be a great one!

Irmo is too strong and too talented this year. Wando is too young on top of that. Irmo hasn't been held to under 3 goals all year and I don't see that changing on Tuesday.
