That's because once Wando got the lead they did not have to push forward. Irmo did not penetrate Wando's defense once, minus the goal on the set piece. They didn't force Wando's keeper to make very many tough saves and did not seem very dangerous. Dunbaker was the only one who did look dangerous at times. Wando got the lead, sat in, and occasionally made great runs forward. Meanwhile Irmo was frustrated by a hard and smart defense. Again, I did not see anything special from Irmo last night. Wando played smart, and was the better team.
One Time!

HeTakesPictures, you're definitely an Irmo fan, so stop lying, because you take pictures doesn't mean you know anything about soccer. Obviously you can't see very well with your camara if the score was 3-1 and Wando out played them in the first half.

Hmmm....interesting. From my post under "Why?" it is obvious I am not an Irmo fan.
You on the other hand are obviously Anti-Irmo. Ergo, whom do you assume would have a more unbiased opinion?
At least sG had an intelligent response. You had nothing. Were you even at the game?
As far as me knowing anything about soccer, well I guess that's sort of subjective. But I do tend to see plays develop and know where to point the camera. So I guess I know a little about soccer. Also for the last 7 years my boys and I have had the privilege of working closely with the legendary Kevin Heise. And now I'm getting to observe and hear about of the coaching styles of the USC coaches. So, I've probable picked up a little knowledge on the way.
So…Mr. Soccer, does a 3-1 score always represent the better team?

HTP is a BC homer. (Let's face it, we are all homers for some team)

My hats off too, Sandman. Def some good shots that parents in the stands could only dream of taking. For the parents that want copies, I think they can get them for a small charge by going to the web site....much cheaper than buying a super Canon outfit. Thanks again HTP

I've been reading what has been said the past few days and figured I would weigh in with my observations from the game.
Irmo came out flat... not each individual, but as a team they were on their heels for the first 10 minutes of the game.
1st Wando Goal:
Irmo allowed for a player (Hamilton) who is known for his heading ability to go unmarked on a long throw. Very poor job by the defending player in that instance.
2nd Wando Goal:
Player with loads of experience (Sullivan) made a rookie mistake.
The 1st goal didn't faze Irmo that much. They had gone down to CN earlier in the season and therefore knew that they could win even though they were down 1-0 to a good side. The 2nd goal was like a shot in the foot. Going down 2-0 in a Championship match is hard to overcome... but not impossible.
1st Irmo Goal:
Wando made the same mistake that Irmo did in leaving a player who is known for his heading ability (Seiverding) unmarked in the box.
Offside Call:
I believe it was a bad call made on Irmo's 2nd goal (Dunbaker). Initially he was in an offside position... but he recognized that, stopped his run, and allowed the backs to catch up to him. When the ball was played (Lunceford) Dunbaker was even with the defender to his back (watching the video confirmed this). Very unfortunate that a ref COULD have changed the outcome of the game.
One thing that Wando does well (which really helped them in the game) is their speed of play. You don't see any one of the Wando boys taking more than 1 touch to settle the ball and 1 touch to pass it. I have seen this both with their JV Squad and V Squad. Their coach does well in teaching them to play simple and quick.
Have to give credit to Irmo's Dunbaker for never giving up on the game. He gave the Wando defense all they could handle. If the rest of Irmo's team would've had that same desire we might have seen a different outcome.
Looking forward to next years season. Wando will undoubtedly be in the running for the Championship again as I hope Irmo will be as well. Would be nice to see a rematch of the two.
