US Open Cup: Seattle Sounders v Kitsap Pumas - Gamethread

in Sounders: US Open Cup
Email
Print
The Kalateen Derby is not just about who cares the most about soccer, but a David (Kitsap Pumas) v Goliath (Seattle Sounders) in the national championship - the US Open Cup. This tournament has everything that fascinates America in the NCAA basketball tournament, but is played on the fields with 11-a-side. The two sides scrimmaged in 2009 and 2010 with many shared players now. Sounders likely to play tonight have scored 6 goals in those matches with Roger Levesque netting 3 while Mike Fucito, David Estrada and Taylor Graham each had one.
When a side is a huge favorite (home sides are plus 0.64 goals per game in last two US Open Cups) the key is for them to be exactly who they are. In this case the Sounders Reserves are a team that is dominating the Reserve League with a 6-0-0 record and +7 Goal Differential. Not only that, but MLS v PDL over history isn't David v Goliath, it is Goliath versus those other guys whose names you don't know. The Sounders weekly press release says "MLS teams are 13-2-2 (1-1 in penalties) with a goal differential of" +36. It is actually hard to take glory in this kind of match-up. The win is the clearly the expectation, and a loss would be crushing. Ideally this is a match where the Sounders get their scoring confidence back and advance to host some LA side on their way to winning the US Open Cup a third straight year.

That's how I understood it
I just wanted to make sure because we are out of town visiting my grandparents and my grandfather wants to buy an HDMI cable to hook up a computer to the TV so we can all watch the game. Didn’t want him to buy the cable and then end up not being able to watch.

I wonder how our left side will look.
Tettah and montano will be exciting to watch going forward. I just hope they can get back on defense quick enough to stop the counter

Jaqua was getting owned on most balls in the air
True, he had better flicks with his head then I’ve seen in a while from him, but most times the ball was coming in the air he got muscled out of position and/or mistimed his jump and failed to make contact.

Tetteh just running straight at goal
every time he gets the ball. Love it!
Estrada
has looked pretty strong so far out on the wing.
How does Jaqua not get on that?
I can’t defend him any longer. He just doesn’t seem to have it right now. Whatever IT is… haha
"The fans are excited. And the stadium, well, it ignites with explosion."
No kidding
I have no idea what changed between now and 2 yrs ago, but he’s been horrible and hasn’t improved at all this season.
I could have been wrong.
Zombie Jaqua is back. Good assist on the header.

Half time thoughts
A few guys for Kitsap look capable at this level. Besagno still, Matt Friesen and Cameron Hepple as well.
One Nil is a fair result so far. Both sides with opportunites.
Second half Kitsap can’t ride emotions, they’ll have to find a second and third wind.

I'm impressed with what I've seen from Tettah so far
I’d like to see what he can do against MLS competition sometime this year.
Thoughts?
Tetteh has looked well
but at times he and Montano were occupying the same space. He will play better with Zakuani who tends to play further up the field. He isn’t ready this year though. Should be ready for next year though.
by Colin Johnson on Jun 28, 2011 8:04 PM PDT up reply actions
He has won a lot of headers
Maybe that forward just sucks at it
He obviously needs work on his defender instincts.
Love his work going forward but he is not good at maintaining a line with his fellow defenders. He’s held Pumas onside several times. Also, he needs to work with his midfielder to make sure someone is covering him on his runs forward, but that is equally a problem Montano should be blamed for.
I love the potential of him coming out of defense though. His attacking skills are great.

Gotta imagine that Noonan comes on for sure
He’s only under contract another few days, right? No need to keep him rested.
Thoughts
Scott and Graham on the right are weak. Tettah and Leo on the left are solid. Leo’s even coming over to the right to help out on fast breaks (and they need it).
Fucito working hard as per usual. Earned his goal. Jaqua is playing physical which has the Puma’s back line watching their backs. Other than that, Jaqua hasn’t created a whole lot. Did get the assist on Fucito’s goal though.
Montano is clearly hungry. I think he’ll get a goal in the second half.
We need to get an early goal in the second half and put this out of reach for Kitsap. If they leave it 1-0 for too long, Kitsap will start to believe, and we can’t have that.
Jeremiah and I were saying that Graham would be a great pure CB
His air work has been very strong, but he doesn’t have the lateral speed to be a RCB anymore. But he could be a middle of a 3 or 5 man backline.

Bryan Meredith
Dave may have mentioned this about him before, but his distribution is excellent. That first kick to Burke early in the match was quite good.
I'd much rather have him as a backup
than Boss.
Agreed
While I liked Boss’ communication with his back line thus far, I know he hasn’t been truly tested yet. That problem last year in CCL when he ignored Tyrone Marshall still haunts me.
How do you guys feel about about Estrada?
I was surprised that we reached to get him in 2009 1st round. He has looked dangerous on the wings but I don’t think he is ready to start. Mostly looks to be a reservist.
I've liked what I've seen of him.
I do think he’s improved since last year too, but a ways to go yet.
by The King of Norway on Jun 28, 2011 8:12 PM PDT up reply actions
I've seen him here and vs LA this year
and I like a lot of his play. He needs to do better around the box with both passing and shooting, but I think he has the potential to be a very decent player for a long time.
Estrada
I’ve like that he maintains possession well. Sometimes his decision making and passing are sub par though.

Noonan scores 2 goals and earns a contract extension.

I don't believe MLS allows for incentive-laden contracts
As practical as it could be for a guy/situation like Noonan, those along with escalator clauses have killed NFL teams in the past.

Not spectacular
but calm, collected, and smart. Nice goal by Fucito.
I agree, what he did was pretty hard.
he of course made it hard for himself with a bad touch in the box, but still. Lots of skill there
That was decent
That was a pro doing his job, staying calm on the ball, and making sure the ball made it into the net when bodies were flying around him.

Fucito is like the guy in Madden that gets the breakaway touchdown...
and then runs up and down the goal line to rub it in your face.
Took him forever to shoot that ball.
"The fans are excited. And the stadium, well, it ignites with explosion."
Jesus is that Biz Marke?
Oh Fucito! You got what I need!
are you telling me Jaqua had 2 quality opportunities on goal
less than 30 seconds apart and he put them both right at the keeper? I don’t believe it. And then he booted a rebound 20 yards over the goal a few minutes later? Doesn’t sound like him…

This is more than a slight exaggeration in many ways.

by Brian Floyd on Jun 28, 2011 11:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Not really
his shot went right at the keeper, and his header (which was excellent contact and pace on his part) went right at the keeper as well. Later he kicked the ball more than 15 yards over the goal with his left foot from inside the 18.

Off a volley while falling towards the sideline.

by Brian Floyd on Jun 29, 2011 11:36 AM PDT up reply actions
I'm not the biggest Jaqua fan ever, but...
if that shot had even been on frame, let alone gone in, he may as well have just quit playing, because his career would’ve been downhill from there. We could’ve forgotten about Hassli’s goal.
There’s just no way anybody can legitimately fault Jaqua for that shot being off, as it was pretty much impossible (and there wasn’t any other option to pass it to anybody or do anything other than shoot it).
He didn't have to kick the shit out of the ball
Very few players in this league could have struck that ball as hard as possible and put it in the net, but many of them could have at least put it on target with more finesse and less power. Jaqua kicked that ball as hard as Gallagher smashes watermelons, and missed horribly. Part of your view of him “falling towards the sideline” has to do with this fact. He wound up for that kick and tried to kick it through Meredith, and I don’t blame him after Meredith stopped his 2 most recent attempts on goal.
Meredith does not suck
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.

I must have been watching a different game
But it sure looked like they were both lacking placement away from the keeper, which is a classic skill of Jaqua’s in the 2+ years he’s been here.

Yeah, and I wish we'd see him at some stage
If he’s better than Meredith, he’s GOTTA be better than Boss.
Kitsap is out of gas
Their attack has really fallen off in the last 5 minutes. I think going down 2-0 is making them feel exactly how tired they are now.
I don't know much about Noonan... can he still produce?
Life's what happens while you're making other plans
Yeah, kinda
He has looked good in reserve games. But not his salary good

Haven’t seen much of Ford yet, but Meredith seems sound. > Boss.
it's easy
to look like a great keeper when you’re being peppered with shots. He’s made some nice saves, but nothing he shouldn’t expect himself to do.
Though, Boss does scare me w/ positioning and overall demeanor.
One good one at least

LAGalaxy just scored.
We’ll probably be facing them

Omar Gonzalez scored the first goal. Magee with the 2nd.
I think i saw Junihno also. Camera is so far from the field its hard to tell.
"The fans are excited. And the stadium, well, it ignites with explosion."
ok LA's line up was
GK Brian Perk, D Sean Franklin, D Omar Gonzalez, D Gregg Berhalter (Capt), D A.J. DeLaGarza,M Bryan Jordan, M Michael Stephens, M Jovan Kirovski, M Mike Magee, F Chad Barrett, F Paolo Cardozo
Miguel Lopez, Juninho and Adam Cristman subbed in
Nice Defensive Lineup
Although they’re lacking in attacking options until Juninho came on.
Probably why it was 1-0 til he came in.

i wonder how Perk did/is doing. we will be facing him on sunday
and i wouldnt be surprised if they put out a defensive lineup against us just to help protect perk
You mean more than usual?
I still expect Donovan, Beckham and Juninho to start. We’ll see if Arena goes with bunker and counter or allows the Gals to attack more.
Sounders need to do a better job on corners. That’s how they beat us here last here 4-0.
Beckham might be out
Posh is due around then and apparently her c section is scheduled for match day.
I didn't believe you
So i went to the googles. Wow, “they love America so much they wanted the birth of their child for its most important day, July 4th”
Well, that and his back will for sure keep him out of the game, too bad too. I am sure he would have injured at least two of our players, reckless
Has he ever played a full half against the Sounders?
I always remember him being not able to play and then of course the one red card in the first 10ish minutes.
He played the full 90 in MLS First Kick this year
But it was generally agreed that he had a terrible game that night.
Well, he suited up and was on the pitch, at least.
I will never forget how funny it was when I realized that about 10 minutes in, our entire defense had shifted to the right by about 20 yards because Beckham was just not moving. There was one run toward the end of the first half (where he dove outside the 18 and got Leo a yellow), but other than that, he did a whole lot of nothing. Other than the Friberg giveaway to the 25+ yard goal, we didn’t have to do anything defensively, because we only had to defend a 50 yard wide pitch.
Did he just say "a goalie that makes saves out of his butt"?

Oh yeah, Meredith was excellent. And the seats at Starfire were terrible, which didn’t matter when I was standing during the game, but I got there nearly an hour early to get a good place and my arse was sore, even with a towel as a cushion. Just sayin’.
