San Francisco FC of Panama At Seattle Sounders: Gamethread

If there was ever to a match to take a guest to, this would be it. Due to the Away Goal tie-breaker, the better team being down a man, and a couple of San Francisco FC's players not making the trip due to visa issues this should be a run and gun soccer festival. Seattle must win be two goals, while to avoid overtime SFFC wants a single goal (overtime can only happen with a 1-nil Seattle Sounders regulation lead).

With this in mind I expect Sigi Schmid's side to be in the full on attack and stocked with first team talents. From day one the team has emphasized their desire to play in the Club World Cup, and this is the way to get there. Yes, that will leave them open to the counter. Yes, that is a defensive weakness. But Seattle must get at least two tonight. In light of the way these matches are called early success on a free kick would be pure gold for the Rave Green. With the Panamanian side having just undergone the long flight, maybe it is time for them to show some effect of being tired.

The game is Fox Soccer and 97.3FM if you want to hear Arlo White on the call at 7:00 PM Pacific

They are playing like they are down 5-1 on aggregate. The space is there and SF back off every time they get the ball just outside the 18. I wish they would just calm down and take the space that SF are giving them.

There are several things wrong with that statement

I mean, the Mariners last night would have been very disappointing if Casper Wells hadn’t hit that home run, but he did, so it wasn’t.

Saying this isn’t insight. Saying “if this thing didn’t happen then we’d be saying something else” isn’t productive. That’s the nature of soccer: the game changes suddenly with every goal. It doesn’t matter that we only scored on a corner, we still scored.

What?!

The only thing that didn’t make it a run and gun soccer festival was the fact that SFFC wanted to have sleepy time instead of joining in on the gunning and running. Seattle had a ton of possession and opportunities. Great game to watch (since the good team won). The reverse leg in Panama would have been an awful game to take a guest to. . that was boring as hell. But this was fine. Also, your friends probably learned some creative new profanities.

I completely disagree

While we had a ton of possession and opportunities, that was completely overshadowed (to the uninitiated) by the constant diving, time wasting, and at times mind-boggling refereeing decisions.

I agree with you that the away game was worse, as that was about the most boring game I’ve watched in a long time.

I think I did have some creative new profanities though as they did bring their kids…
