I know this is shocking but you don't win from having the most chances. You win from scoring the most goals, which our designated player has done the most of since he arrived.
That's nice, but as we've seen the past few years a bajillion chances for Sporting usually ends up with a goose egg and the opportunity for the opposition to steal a late one off one shot. Our chances mean absolutely nothing unless we convert more of them.
Not really. Soccer isn't about out-shooting your opponent its about scoring more goals. Improving your chance to win requires having a forward that puts away his one or two chances a game. And that's our problem, both No.9s are flawed.
I'll have to make a change to my narrative if sporting get 2 - 3 more red cards in similar fashion this year. Even with this one, our body of work doesn't hold a candle to reckless, divey, naughtiness that RSL was doing last year. Sabario could have been sent off a couple weeks ago, and wasn't. Them's the breaks. What Uri did was stupid and reckless and his discipline deserved. My position would be hurt if I ran from that. Similarly, to the folks defending Wingert's actions last year. Anyway, better result for RSL obviously, but I think we'll continue to have success against them. It really is a shame we won't see them again unless its in a final. I wish that team some luck in the west, even though I think they're the "Mean Girls" of MLS.
oh i still agree with you. i'm just saying that this hurts more because it actually took place in a game against them, so it's more of a glaring example instead of just another on a list. they wish they were as hot as lindsay lohan was back then.
