Carolina Challenge Cup 2015 Megathread

1-1 Shelton scored in 55th minute. He came on at the half. Team looked great after he came on, but it seemed to be more a function of facey playing out of the back and more energy in midfield. He definitely provides some skill in attack, I wouldn't mind seeing him with villa. Taylor and Villa didn't seem to work well together, too similar

Facey was that good at center back? I'm seeing a lot of praise for him. What are his main strengths?

Comfortable on the ball, and plays out well. All the other CBs looked shaky and made awful turnovers. Hernandez did have a sweet long ball to Villa in first half

Responding to an earlier post-no one got punched. Were some threats of violence but - unless someone on here actually reports they were the one who got hit - no one I know from NYCfc got hit by anyone.

I didn't see it, but I heard it from two people, independently. Maybe the Terminus Legion guy was just trying to stir up drama, but I also heard it from the guy that got hit. It was one of the group that drove down from Raliegh that got punched. Apparently a group of Orlando fans interrupted whatever that tailgate game they were playing, and I guess he said something that one of the Orlando fans didn't like, he punched him, and the other Orlando fans took him away. You guys were down by the American Outlaws tents when it happened.

I don't know what else he did, but he did stop one sure goal by getting the ball off the goal line. Thats probably worth a signing right there.

Hoya - ok, didn't realize that. Completely unacceptable behavior by ilf/ruckus/whoever from ocsc supporters.

Yeah. It was really just a handful of them, though. Most were completely friendly (to me at least). Hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your trip!
 
Any word on when the match thread for the Dynamo game is going to go up? I think we have a good chance to win tomorrow. They looks bad against Charlotte.
 
Hoya - yea, it definitely was a minority, though that minority was trying really hard to be jerks. If I were in the majority of stand up OCSC supporters, I would divorce myself from that element, and fast. Rest of trip was great. Stayed another day in Charleston on Sunday; great food, great town!
