Didn't mind SEA attacking late in the game. Especially with the way Dallas was throwing bodies forward. They had to look for the counter attack.

I still don't understand Sigi Schmidt. Yedlin was allowed to get down the right flank ONCE all game. He put in a beautiful cross. I can't help but thing the English game will suit him better. They have two great finishers in Dempsey and Martins. I just don't understand it. It's frustrating.

Did like the young Dallas squad though. They bring Texeira and Zimmerman off the bench - two super talented 22 year olds. Kellyn Acosta didn't even make the line-up. Lots of talent there. I don't know who will be unprotected because they have the most homegrowns in the league, but there is a ton of young talent on that squad. Unless you can go the route of LA, that's how you build a squad. Fantastic young squad.

I think Sigi realized that if Seattle kept Yedlin back, Dallas didn't have a chance. he was right; other than the calls for PK Dallas didn't really get any meaningful chances while Dempsey & Martins by themselves created a number of chances. I expect it will be different against LA, as we saw in the last two matches of the season.

Semi Finals start up in a few minutes.

New England at RBNY. Supposedly a sellout at Red Bull Arena for the 1:30 start. Seattle is in L.A. later today at 5:00.

I can't wait for this kickoff! This could be one hell of a game, but I am afraid NYRB may sit back with the hope of going to New England with the away goal advantage.
A first half goal from the Revs will open things up like crazy!

Let's go NE. I want to see the Red Bulls embarrassed.

The corrida is about to start and the matador is wearing America's red white and blue. He will do his job.

That goal was massive. It puts so much pressure on RB now.

BTW, is anyone else having issues with the broadcast via cable or is it just me? The screen keeps freezing for half a second now and then.
I would just set up the NBC LiveExtra feed to my TV but it works poorly to TV because they put the ads around the screen.
