I had a great futbol day (after a not so great football day) - was at the Q for both matches. And I can't really add anything to Viking Guy's write-ups. The women were dominant, the men were gritty.  Nothing new there. I feel bad for Seattle, which didn't look like a #40 RPI team. They hadn't lost in 15 matches and their 3 losses for the season, all early, were to Notre Dame, UCSB (in round 3), and UW (#6 seed).  They dived and whined too much but a damn good team. I loved their center backs, esp. #17, and their forward #22, though annoying as hell, is VERY quick with a great shot. Forced an Andrew tip-over with a shot from 22 with basically no free space.  

And I have NEVER seen a keeper save 4/5 in a PK shootout. Has anyone? Amazing....

On to Friday and Sunday.

Go Card!
