RSL 1 – 0 Timbers at half

During his pregame show interview with Arlo, so odd, guessing the rest of the shirt says something like “sucks” or “isn’t as good as Seattle” or something similar.

usual suspects not paying off

Can we stop Fox Soccer from buying so many of our games next year?

First, I just watched an ECS effort to expand the game to females through coaching on HOW to play the GAME. One of the coaches here is a young lady with the Sounders women. The other was a certain Steve Zakuani. I’ll write more about this later.

In case your stream still isn’t working, RalfZak

you shouldn’t have tried to dribble around nearly anyone

RSC boos the offside call
ECSW respond with a “Who are ya”

I hate every other team ever. Minus SKC.

See you next year Mauro.

First, yet again?

Not like it makes anything better.

Rosales is down

The other teams will continually hack you, and people won’t get sent off for it, even though it’s a bit much to believe it always happens to be a coincidence.

That wasn’t a dirty tackle, it just got Mauro in an awkward position and Mauro probably wouldn’t have stayed down if it wasn’t for the previous injury.

Salt Lake is up 1-0 in the 73rd minute. If Portland doesn’t come back here, then we know our opponent for the playoffs.

This is a dream of mine. Montero wide

 timbers just tied rsl in stoppage

Only traveled a few starters?

plenty of corner defense practice

needs more Montero

couldn’t happen to a better guy

I think that was supposed to be far post to levesque and once Mike headed it Roger didn’t try to recover the errant shot

Dallas is getting rolled.

You can only pull him down from behind

but the first seems to be a get out of jail free card.

I hate when refs require the second yellow to be “orange”. If you’ve already been carded you need to cool down, not the ref.

Notes: Mauro left injured. Roger Levesque his replacement.

Zemanski with a yellow. Roger with a yellow.

Boring game

That’s really good to see.

being followed by a cheerleader in an Indian costume?

He wasn’t near the asshat that this guy is.

Here’s a news flash

WIN

And then you get to rest.

Lose and now their starters have to play 4 games in 10 days.

They are so blatantly designed to be the team in LA for Hispanic fans. Which of course has a lot less money then the “native” LA Galaxy. Not to mention that both teams go to Home Depot, but have vastly different experiences.

0-0 against Chivas at Clink… zzzzzzzzzzzz

off Zemanski.

DON"T USE YOUR HANDZ

is actually shaving cream.

I’ve decided to start referring to him as such.

“Come On Seattle” is as clear as it’s ever been.

and yet somehow we forget about him

Goalie barely moved and had no chance.

finally put one solidly on frame.

harsh.

We always remember that these are our best players without which we are nothing:

1) montero
2) rosales
3) fernandez
4) alonso

Props to Levesque tonight.

In all honesty he just like seeks to desperately pass immediately upon touching it, but on a couple of big runs he’s provided a smooth cog in the offense.

Impressed with what his admittedly limited roll is able to facilitate in our offense.

Lazy Fredy was just going down for a nap.
