North America Amateur Cup - Second Round Draw
68 teams remain (did some get added, I thought we had a power of two number before, maybe I did math wrong). We don't get a home game, but we do get a game against a division opponent. We'll be playing the Twin City Patrol next round. They currently are in 2nd place in the league. We haven't played them yet I don't think.
July 11th, 2014
Roanoke Magic (4-4-3, 8th) vs Wake Forest Cougars (5-4-2, 3rd)
Attendence: 246
Starting Lineup
GK: Gyan
D: Campbell/Pickering/Lassiter/Arroyo
DM: Pena
M: Sandoval/Mora
AM: Colangelo/Cooper
ST: Roth
Lassiter is the only change for the defense, the midfield/offense completely rotates though. Defensive mindset on the road today.
11': Mora to Roth in the area, Roth goes down, but its a legal tackle. We earn a corner but they clear it.
27': We pass the ball around forever, finally Roth with a ball into the left side for Colangelo, he has a great look, clear cut chance, but off the right post. Davidson would have scored.
32': Colangelo is hurt and forced to leave the match immediately. Reynoso can play AML and he's coming in.
HALF: Pretty terrible half of soccer all around. We shoot 3 times, all off target, they haven't managed a shot yet.
49': They have a corner, taken into the 6 yard box, Gyan goes for it and really should have had it, but doesn't get to it, they head it in. 0-1
65': Lets try to attack.
71': Mora gets a knock and his fitness goes to crap. I bring Glaser in for him.
We don't see a single highlight for the final 40 minutes.
Roanoke 1 : 0 Wake Forest
Only 7 shots total for the entire match between both teams, we just got 1 in the second half.
Injury Update
Colangelo is going to miss 5-6 weeks. Rose is still out for at least 3 weeks as well.
Reynoso can play AML, and Samir Pace is coming back from injury in a matter of days to give us ST coverage. Shakespeare plays ML, so we could also use him and go 4-1-4-1. We'll manage, probably.
We fall to 6th in the loss, we're in a 4 way tie at 19 points between 5th-8th but have goal differential. Its still a giant clusterfuck and we could finish anywhere between 1st and like 12th reasonably.
