⚽️Lady Vols Soccer Thread

That was quite a disappointing performance. All credit to the Hogs.

Does Arkansas' style of play translate beyond college? Their offensive strategy is basically kick ball and crash. They are great at it. I've watched most of their games over the past three years. I guess they just have more athleticism than most teams they play. Their hustle though defensively is relentless.

I hate that style of play. Very reminiscent of Wambach ball from our women's national team.
