I think I could have played it over, but Lewis was offside. Not sure if that factored into Sweat's thinking or if he thought he could hit one. It was too weak to get past Robles even if he had struck it on frame.

Does this look like the Audi Index scores of a team that was badly outplayed?

The answer is yes, but not for the team you're claiming.
I think what we're both sort of saying is that the game hasn't "slowed down" for him yet (we talking about Sweat???). I don't know if USL would help that or not. Wasn't he there for a year in between Crew and us?
If you meant, Khiry, I think he could stand a year of USL, for sure. He needs to play more, but can't and shouldn't for us given where he is as a player.
I have no idea, but when I was watching the broadcast after I got home, I felt a little bad for initially thinking he was embellishing.
That dude was screaming like a banshee. Fox needed to kill the mic over there. It was like listening to someone being tortured.
I think I read somewhere that it was a knee injury, and x-rays came back negative. They think it might just be a hyper-extension I believe.
Something that should keep him out for a bit, but not season ending is what I took from it
because the damn MLS refs won't give a penalty (or "PK" as we like to call them) if you don't.
When your highest rated player is your goalkeeper, it wasn't a great game by API standards.
Sal Zizzo had a good performance. Shit, take the absolute value of that and he finishes 3rd.
And I'm not a massive fan of the Audi Player Index, definitely don't think its the end-all-be-all, but damn that shows how much more Villa impacts the game than BWP. Yes, he had one more goal, but the difference between them two is 1,333. Villa was nearly 4.5x BWP
well then there is no penalty to give in the first place, so the ref has got it correct. if you dive, by the laws of the game, it isn't a penalty. or am i missing something?
its being stamped down on massively in England now, long way to go, but retrospective bans and a panel reviewing incidents after the match are starting this coming season. Diving (Cheating) has no place in football or any sport. don't encourage it man. leaves a real bitter taste in your mouth winning a game off a dive
Because he'll never get a clear penalty otherwise. Remember when everyone was going crazy when Walker pushed Sterling. We might hate it because it's cheating but at times players need to know how to absorb the contact and fall.
Lol, the audi index.
I guess i saw it differently than others. After they scored their second goal, it felt deserved to me. They had all of the ball. Their CBs average positions are at midfield. We outplayed them in NJ, I thought they made the right adjustments and we didn't.
completely disagree. its a contact sport. we were never taught that at school boy level. stay on your feet as long as possible. it would be embarrassing to go down off a small bit of contact. it essentially means you are weak
Ha!
Was 613 in the loss to DC United.
Averages 206, which is 278th in the league.
There's a big difference IMO between diving, and going down to contact. Lewis almost went down in the box and gave a great effort to stay on his feet. I doubt that if he went down, that even NJ fans would have said that was a dive (they may have other opinions on it being a penalty however).
I do agree that NJ was playing better in that stretch from the end of the first half through early 2nd. But we turned it around.
In the end, we created the better chances, which is really what the game is about. If we varied our tactics a little to get that result, then I think it reflects well on Coach V.
