Well, how much more stoppage will the ref tack on. I'd love to score on short-handed SJ here just to make a statement.
Well, shit. Where the hell did the ref get 8 minutes? Oh well, all that hard work and a great result up in smoke thanks to another failure to close down an attacker. And pausehater2001 wants to know why we need 2 d-mids with our back line. Crap. Oh well, this is still better than I expected but not as good as we deserve. Sean Johnson = MOTM. Good night.
Horrible referee decision to allow them to keep playing when it was San Jose who were responsible for the outrageous additional time (Gordon's foul and bitching afterward and then Wondolowski complaining endlessly).
You know that when you have a 3 minute stoppage in extra time, they're supposed to add more time, right? The passing was pretty lax, especially the last 20 minutes. I hope McDonald is rusty, or else he's a donkey. Fernandez should help quite a bit.
That hurts. If it was anyone but Lenhart, I'd say fair game, but I can't stand him. Such a reckless player. Not encouraged at all by our new DP. He looks completely out of shape and not ready to play . . . not particularly skilled either, but I'll wait on passing judgement on that aspect of his game.
Johnson MOTM. The stoppage was ridiculous when it was caused by a SJ red card. I don't normally bitch about reffing, but that was idiotic to give them more time based on their fouls.
********ing fail. 5 defenders and 3 defensive mids against 10 men and these cunts can't close it out. Frank should be reaming them in the locker. Basically SJ injuring the Fire players causing more extra time did them in. Still absolute ********ing failtastic
Let's keep things in proper perspective. It is still a point on the road against the best team in the league. Not to mention we stink on the west coast for the most part. I'll take it as long as we keep on taking care of business at home. I was expecting a loss.
We got our hopes up on a moment of individual brilliance and got our guts ripped out by a moment of team stupidity. That's soccer for you.
Phenomenal game by Sean Johnson. I wasn't going to say anything during play, because the last time I publicly complimented his play, the US got knocked out of Olympic qualifying. This was possibly the best game of his career, and definitely the best since that 3-2 win in LA back in 2010.
If Frank isn't suspended for the next game for screaming at the ref 2 inches from his face...then ******** FK.
I'd rather he scream at our players. We go into full-on bunker mode, we have a man advantage and we only need to last four minutes. And we get scored on. Sorry, folks, you can't blame the ref for that. There is NO EXCUSE for getting scored on in our situation. I'm the first to blame the refs when they screw us but tonight ain't one of those.
