okay after reading these threads, theres some things i have to say. personally knowing vapor tells me plenty of things. first off, he does believe enzo is the best player in the state, as do i. what it appears he was trying to state, is that northwestern rely way too much on enzo in the game. ive seen the guy play, and contrary to popular belief, he can be marked out of a game. it happens. secondly, his overwhelming success in the past was due to him having awesome support players helping him out. i seriously doubt his attacking stats will be anywhere near the level they've been near. now, i know hes scored lots of goals already this year, but only a few have been against quality competition. thats not to take anything away from him scoring lots of goals in the first place, im just saying. third, that 6-1 win for northwestern last year had a 1-1 tie at halftime...until irmos keeper got into it with kropp. then, things went down hill. having seen both teams play this year, i can ASSURE you that scoreline wont be repeated. northwesterns nowhere near as good as theyre being made out to me. you take enzo out the game, that teams done. again, thats not saying there arent other quality players on that team. because there are many.
and to that post about northwestern losing to chapin because alex wasnt in the game. absurd. chapin didnt have joey. wheres the excuse now? oh, yea the injuries. hmm, could it be theres no reliable depth to that team. hmm. during the semifinal against dutch fork, one of irmos top midfielders, recevied a minor concussion and missed most of the game. but because of their depth came away with a win that in which the score was no where near indicative of the scoreline. in the final against chapin, one of irmos forwards received a fracture in his arm, and came out of the game. irmo responded with two goals in 5 minutes. oh yea, and the second best defender behind daniel lynch mightve played all of five minutes yesterday. yea, so theres your injuries.
and i wholeheartedly agree that enzo is a phenomenal player. ive stated that before. i think he could work on not flopping everytime somebody grazes him, but thats just me. or even stopping the whole 'let me flick it like im soccer god all the way to my team mate twenty yards away' and falling flat on his face and looking foolish thing, but different strokes for different folks i guess.
and to those people who think that somebody needs to sign there name to bash somebody, think again. vapor happens to be one of the top players in the southeast region. is he enzo good? no. but we cant all be enzo good. 'personal attacks' on other players? please. respectfully, i ask that you people stop whining. the man has an opinion, nothing more. its just like some of you people who whine and make cracks about the president or whoever you please. im quite sure you people dont sign your names on letters to those people. so your idiotic ideology fails here. sorry, please play again later.
oh, and a few more things. there are defenders in this state that can cause enzo trouble, believe me. yes, he did face many a good defense before. but common sense tells us--'wait, soccers a TEAM game. which means TEAM defense.' only garbage teams defend one on one. you defend as a TEAM. so that excuse is also invalid. unless youre implying that enzo must be better than a team defense. umm....no.
lastly, that comment a few pages back where someone mentioned some of the top players in the world was a joke. i dont even think the concept is the same. 'leave cates alone?' really? his credentials dont mean a thing to me. he wasnt even the best player on that field against irmo during the semifinal. what a joke. he got layed flat on his rear end several times. and i mean he got LAYED OUT. and he got a red card, that classless clownshow.
and no guys, dont bash me for not leaving my name. i dont profess to be better than either enzo or cates. im just relaying what ive seen through close observation, and from playing on the field. if you would like bash vapor or myself for any reason, by all means go ahead.
at least we wont whine about it.
