sounders beat union… the beer report
so by my count. this is a 9 beer report. and even as i write that, i feel somewhat sober, which is pretty sad for me in many ways if you think about it.
all in all a good win on a sloppy night. nobody is going to write home about an amazing match of footy that they just watch, b/c that is not what we saw tonight. we saw a sloppy game that can be blamed much, but not all, on the weather.
no doubt the rain on the turf makes handling balls harder than normal (insert beavis comment here), but the sounders can not place full blame on this.
as for the firtst goal, as much as i have ridden montero and zakuani over the last year for their lack of passing and creativity, especially given their skill, their intellect and passing were very much a big part of the first goal.
the best part of he first goal was montero’s pass. we have never seen a pass out of him like that before. it was sly. it was deft. it was subtle. it played the man on… call it whatever you want, but that pass, made the goal. zakuani made a great pass into evans who, and lets be honest here, just put the ball on goal, and 9 times out of 10, should have been saved, but it wasn’t. so i am well pleased…. a great pass from montero, a very good pass from zakuani… those are things from them that we need. steve can run very fast. montero can crack one like crazy from outside the box… but great passing they are not known for.
and then shortly after, if i am not mistaken, steve went for his second assist of the night, only for levesque to kick it as high into the stands as possible. laughablele now that we won, but not at the time.
the second and decisive goal came from a great alonso ball into montero, for the beautiful diving header. i still swear montero was widly offsides, however i haven’t seen any replays yet, and i care very little since the call went our way.
a few more randomg thoughts b/ c this kid has to hit the sack.
- the rain sucked…and was it 10 degrees colder the second half? i swear it was
- my man crush on alonso is sure to continue another year… other than one memorablele give away, i saw him do nothing wrong.
- their red card was a tad harsh, but nice to see the new team getting the same treatment we got last year eh?
- le touxs non goal for offsides… looked like onsides from where i was. nice to see le toux out there and here is to him getting a hatrick next match.
- our midfield lost its shape for much of the first half, but i thought we were much better the second.
- levesque was VERY anonymous much of the game. was it because he really did nothing? or did his flattened down wet hair just help me not notice?
- great atmosphere for pissing down rain. nice to get back to it eh?
for a nine beer report, i would think it would be funnier, drunker,or more controversial…. but this is going to go down as status quo….sorry about that. i don’t even have something funny to say about how lame this post is. sigh
who wants to take me up on the front page having the husky loss and not the sounders win? i have 20 on it.
8 beers was all i could find
**Update, given all the differences on if/how montero was on onside… i got this screen shot. it does look like he is onside… but JUST. he is pretty much dead even with the keeper, but given the way they are leaning, i have seen those given offsides
