Week 8 Match Thread

[Vito]

Columbus up 3-0 against Philly at the half. Revs up 2-0 against RSL at half

Wish the league can get a Saturday night nationally televised game sometime soon.

 

[Lasker]

DC vs Vancouver very high intensity, physical game. Also 1-1 after all of ten minutes. Must be something in the air tonight.

 

[Gene]

Crazy night.

Columbus: 4
Philadelphia: 1

New England: 4
Real Salt Lake: 0

Houston: 4
SKC: 4

Why don't we get any goals

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Only match I watched was the first 55 minutes of NE dominating RSL. How did we ever beat NER?

For a goal stand point, great weekend. From a results stand point, sucks rocks.

Just wait until RB beats Galaxy. On a sunny afternoon. In their SSS.

Meanwhile, we haven't had a match yet where I didn't have sit in a warm bath afterwards to get convince my junk it was safe to come back out.

And that's not even mentioning the fact that OC will likely thump TFC upside the head afterwards, further highlighting how poorly we chose players as they stay firmly in the eastern conference race while we play like a YSO squad.

Red Bulls -- Galaxy kicking off. Must be a late arriving crowd.

 

[OSNY87]

Well then. 1-0 Galaxy.

 

[Gene]

And Penedo just robbed BWP!

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Does watching Kljestan make anyone else wish we had him to go along with Mix? If I'd have known the options were no one or Kljestan, I'd have been all aboard the Sacha train.

The midfields of both of these squads makes us look so very pathetic.

And who would have thought we could desperately use Alan Gordon.

 

[OSNY87]

Yeah, it sure would have made things a lot easier. Also wish we would have kept Zizzo. I get that Saunders probably wasn't seen as the starter for us and that Meara could possibly be our keeper of the future, but it just hurts so much to think of who we have instead.

How does that work? We just traded Zizzo for one year of Meara, allegedly. I don't believe that, but that's what was reported and who knows... Meanwhile, sure looks like we use Zizzo.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Also, while I'm bitching, did anyone else see this Woodberry kid NER got for free when Dallas waived him? Given our shit fullbacks, how we weren't in for him is beyond me. He looks to be an actual MLS level talent.

If we buy him. We did have the option to buy him outright, didn't we? I don't really remember.

Our own press release says it's for a year loan. But we know how trustworthy that can be.

Final Score:

Jozy: 2

Kaka: 0
