FSU Wins the National Championship!

The Gators used to dominate the SE in soccer, but the Seminoles have certainly replaced us in a big way. Their coach has built them into a perennial powerhouse. Hate it, but that's the way it is.

...and Abby Wombach is still my favorite player of all time too.

I would love to attend one of these games...my favorite sports are (college) football & basketball and FSU womens and US womens soccer. (starting to follow the SAFC here locally too)
 
I'm not going to clown on the FSU womens soccer team winning the Natty. Good for them.

Why didn't the UF girls win?
 
Any achievement is good achievement, so to speak.

That being said, I never understood the world wide popularity of soccer, other than maybe its accessibility.

It's so boring that I would rather watch golf or Nascar.

Yep, not every sport is for everyone.

I don't get the allure of cricket...but if you like cricket, ENJOY!
 
In the spirit of "We are all Floridians and damn right we are awesome statewide in raising great athletes" all our sports teams should just crush it every year.

This is all I care to know about women's soccer.

I scrimmaged against the US Woman’s national team back in the day leading up to the 1995 Women’s World Cup back when they had Michelle Akers, Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Kristen Lilly, Tisha Venturini, etc. They trained in the Orlando area at that time.

It's better than nothing I guess. Can we start bragging about women's soccer recruiting? Would that cause you hurt?
Nail was once in here bragging because OU's softball team "stole" a grad assistant from us. The bar for things you can brag about is set really really low.

I knew I liked you, Paco. Now THAT is the definition of a "CSB"! Well done, sir. I am envious!

Back in those days everybody was envious over Mia Hamm. I was a defender so I had the opportunity to go against her quite often. Our club coach was Michelle Akers husband at the time so that was the connection and how we got the scrimmage. It was certainly something that I will always remember.
