The flip side of the discussion is simply this: On THAT day, Wando played better. We sometimes forget that high school teams -- no matter how good -- are comprised of 14-18-year-olds. They feel pressure. They are inherently inconsistent. They make mistakes, and soccer matches are often decided by mistakes.
Wando had the edge in play for most of the match, but still was barely clinging to a one-goal margin until the game's final minutes. Had Irmo evened the score at 2-2, the game probably goes the other way.
A match like that hardly defines -- or denies -- greatness.
