Caltech: 0-16 to Redlands, this year, in a match that was shortened to 75 minutes due to brush fires. 9 of those goals were scored in the final 10 minutes.

Redlands are a perennial NCAA Div III contender, we were 1-19 this year. But back in 1997 Caltech beat Redlands, and they've hated us ever since. Every single time we've played Redlands while I've been at Caltech we've had at least one player injured for the season during the match. Part of it is their coach - when this match was played he was the only coach in the conference who had a loss to Caltech on his record, as coaches who lose to us have a tendency to lose their jobs shortly afterward.

Anyway... in this match, around minute 65, they were up 7-0, which was probably to be expected - but they were still making plenty of vicious tackles that looked like the intent could only be to injure. Then our keeper was knocked down out of the air and had to come off. In protest, we subbed out all of our starters who were on the pitch, and didn't replace the keeper at all. So we played a man down for the last ten minutes, with the missing man being the goalkeeper. They decided that they'd take full advantage and started taking pot shots from 40 yards out, which we made absolutely no effort to stop. Thus, 9 goals in 10 minutes.

2000 MLS Semifinals: Metrostars vs. Chicago Fire. Fire score two quick goals to go up 2-0. Then Metrostars manage to get two back before the half. So then in the 2nd half, I forgot which minute, Metrostars forward Adolfo Valencia scores on a breakaway and I'm going nuts with my friend. The whole Metrostars team was celebrating only to have it ruled offsides. Replay clearly showed that it was onsides. Fire then came back to score and Metrostars lost 3-2.

2002. Don't remember the exact date. Metrostars were in first place for most of the season. All we need is a tie to go to the playoffs with two games remaining. Early on against our rival DC United, Clint Mathis earns a red card for stepping on a United player, which I thought was accidental. Then at the end of the game, Tim Howard gets red carded as well for taing down a forward. Either way we lossed that game 3-1. Which leads to the next agme against New England Revolution. We were without Mathis and Howard. It was painful just sitting back knowing that the Metrostars had no chance to win as the Revs eliminate us slowly and slowly. We lost 3-0.

1999. The entire season was horrible. We would lead the league in shots and possesion but yet ended the season winning only 7 games out of 32. Our star forward at the time Eduardo Hurtado missed like 40 shots in a row.

O: ...wow. i really liked them this year. i thought they played well in the beginning of the season, and it was the first time i watched mls. they played pretty good.

after that everything went downhill. only highlight was that tall guy (wolvynec?) goal. guevara was very influential throughout the season.

Yeah. We had plenty of injuries but still did pretty well. Then when we had our full lineup back, it just wasn;t the same anymore. Wolyniec's goal was definitely robbed. It should have been the goal of the year. It came in second.

Losing 2:1 to Arsenal in the 2001 FA Cup semi-final. Campbell's last game was probably the worst game of my life, not only did we fail to win when the year ended in 1, I also lost a packet on the game.

Also Wales losing 7:1 to Holland, Neville Southall was our man of the match, which has to say something about our defence. An absolute humiliation.

These last years I would say...

Juventus - Ajax: 6-1 (if I remember correctly)
Heerenveen - Ajax: 5-1
AC Milan - Ajax: 3-2

In 1894 the amateurs of Reading FC, mainly workers from biscuit factory or the railways, were drawn away to Preston North End, at the time one of the top teams in the country. These players left work on Friday afternoon and caught an overnight train to Preston - hardly ideal preparation.
It hard been raining so hard in Preston that the field was little more than mud. So unprepared for the conditions were Reading's amateur players, that they had smooth-soled boots.
Also in mitigation I'll add that for the last half an hour Reading were down to 10 men, after one of Reading's players went off fearing his flu was getting worse (as it was, it was found he had tuberculosis and dies seven months later).
That bit of misfortune was clearly the turning point of the match. Prior to that Reading had defended valiantly, restricting Preston to a paltry ten goals in the first hour. With Reading down to ten men, and the Preston goalkeeper donning an overcoat to keep off the rain, Preston managed another 8 lucky breakaway goals in the last half an hour.
Only the underhand tactics of Hyde Utd, who'd conspired to lose 26-0 to Preston a few years previously, denied us our rightful place in the recond books for having the heaviest FA Cup defeat ever.

worst usa loss that i can remember was the 0-2 surrender to germany in 98. american football history only goes back 15 years or so. the loss to iran the next match was bad, but you really can't come out in the first game of the world cup and just play like bitches. and that was hardly a great germany team

[patrickm]

reading are in good position to make the d-1 playoffs. i liked your post describing the various clubs in the other thread. does reading have a tidy mob of casuals?

[comme]

You described Swansea as having "a tidy firm of casuals" in another thread, I now realise that you must have read it in some book and are trying to pass yourself as some sort of hooligan.

[patrickm]

i read "among the thugs." that is an american really putting the english way of life in its proper persepective

1993 FA Cup Final...last minute of extra-time...Arsenal score to lead 2-1 with literally just enough time left to kick off before the final whistle. The Owls had already lost the league Cup Final to Arsenal, also 2-1, the previous month. As a Wednesday fan that defeat was an absolute gutter, and the only other game that I can compare the feeling of that loss to is England's defeat in the '96 Euro semi's. You just knew it was going to be the end of an era at Hillsborough and indeed sadly it proved to be true; the Owls went into a steady decline the following season, one they have yet to arrest.

Even the Fire were feeling bad about that one. I remember Stoichkov having an easy shot on goal in the closing minutes of the game. Instead of blasting it, he made a weak shot right at the keeper . . . and it still went in the net.
