blame that one on calabro and riley
calabro b/c he said no less than 34 times how great the sounders are after going a goal ahead. and riley b/c he forgot to keep his line and was 4 yards behind the line keeping joseph onside.
we got the some of the results we needed across the MLS tonight, but we couldn’t capitalize. LAG lost, toronto only got a point, RSL lost and colorado only got a point. 3 points for us would have been massive and would have all but guaranteed a playoff spot. a draw would not have been terrible b/c we could have kept the 4 points between us and the revolution. but we couldn’t muster either.
a few quick thoughts and then a few more beers for my sorrows.
- why does montero do this to me? what a brilliant strike. i mean, that was just fabulous. but i am tired of saying this. should that goal forgive the rest of the 90 minutes of ball massaging? yes, he is our leading scorer, so maybe i am just asking too much. but you know what, i don’t think so. and here is why… NOT ONE of his goals, or assists has come from one of his ball massaging plays. not one. they have come from direct runs, or fantastic shots. he needs to cut that crap out and play a little more directly, look for the quick 1-2’s look for his team mates runs and he will add many more goals and assists to this team.
but still, goal of the week in the bag.
- alonso, after a few average games, was back at his best today, he won pretty much ever ball against joseph who must have 10 inches and 60 pounds on him. i think i have 2 inches and 75 pounds on alonso…. err. ok where were we.
- the penalty…. i agree with it. yes, ball to hand claims left and right, but leos hand was way up and out. he looked like he was trying to block a volley ball spike. it was quick, but if that happened against us, i would call for a PK every time.
- other than that, was it just blah game? maybe i was in a funk from inhaling paint fumes all day (painting inside my house, not a huffing prob), but i just wasn’t invigorated, excited or really into it. probably just my own problem, but what do you think.
sorry for the back to back medium well posts. i promise it will get bloody and raw again soon.
