Cooper had a comfortable 3-0 lead, a questionable PK was AWARDED to Scott Co and it gave them some life. A through ball on a nice run made it 3-2 with about 25 minutes left.

 

Cooper did a good job of regrouping and regained control of the match and held on for the win.

 

Good luck to Brossart tomorrow night.

Well done, Jags!

OK.... who was the MOD that did not like my title and chose to remove some initials!?!?!? :banana:

 

Cooper (NKY) 3 Scott Co. 2

I hope that Brossart does not have the same CR for their match tomorrow. In terms of consistency, this might have been one of the most lopsided matches I have ever seen officiated.

 

I thought the first half was called fairly evenly and I really cannot remember either side having any issues with the calls that were made. The second half was completely the opposite; kids constantly being pushed from behind by one team and on a few occasions, they actually ran through players and there was not a foul called.... but when the other team happened to touch someone it was called a foul... just glad to get out of there with just some bumps and bruises.

Sorry, where was this one played?

@ Scott county

Thanks for the well wishes. How was Scott co. Were they fast , strong ? Haven't seen them play this year, there record doesn't look to good but that doesn't always mean a lot.

They have a fast midfield that are very skilled , they have a striker to that can play , there defense was not very good

Agree with what Soccer beast says about their midfield, they really liked to run a give-and-go with their backs when they could and they constantly looked to play through balls. I thought that Cooper held their own in the middle, Ross, Hollifield, Cooper, Carty and Candia did a good job of jumping passing lanes and then starting a counter attack.

 

I am not sure about the comments regarding their defense. I think it was hard to guage how good they were because they were not playing a normal formation. They seemed to have someone man-marking Snow the entire time while also keeping another behind him in a sweeper type role. Their allignment in the back allowed for the Cooper mids to play the ball forward and it created quite a bit of space for others to make runs. What they might have lacked in speed, they tried to make up for by playing physical.
