RSL v. Houston: The (Brutal, Pitted) Road Ahead

Posted 16 Aug 2009 at 12:40 AM by Jeff Bull (Carey Talley Fan Club)

In spite of rocking the Christmas Tree formation and enjoying a man advantage, if only briefly, RSL couldn’t seal the deal against the Houston Dynamo tonight. And so this one ends a goal-less draw….one that looks something like an ugly diagnosis for RSL’s 2009 season as a whole – e.g., add it up and it looks a whole lot like futility. Suffice to say, I can’t see it….and “it” here means the post-season.

Now, a home draw isn’t a crisis for a team not stricken by what ails RSL, but the phrase “bad on the road” paints a...

RSL v. Seattle: In Rio Tinto, with a Blunt Object

Posted 10 Aug 2009 at 01:05 AM by Jeff Bull (Carey Talley Fan Club)

No, I don’t try like I used to in terms of keeping the score secret….at least it’s not posted in neon. And I won’t tax your patience besides – had to watch this while cooking a big ol’ Southern dinner for the family (ribs, greens, corn, etc.) – which is good seeing as I have a lot to do before bed.

If you’re looking for this game’s defining moment, consider Kyle Beckerman running into (I believe) Osvaldo Alonso. Not tackling, not even in the futbol Americano sense of the word; I mean, Beckerman literally just caused...

(UPDATE: The two Sunday "Toilet Bowls" now discussed at bottom.)

Welcome back to another week of highlight reviews; this combined with my write-up on Chivas v. Seattle constitutes my body of research for the week on MLS. Short and shallow, I know, but it’s what I can do on these international weekends. This will only be current as of Saturday’s games; expect to see Sunday’s results added in an update tomorrow morning. So, is there unifying theme to all this? Only one comes to me: reputations are starting...

Pledges with Shelf Life + What the Hell Happened to Columbus?

Ever just sit there and stare at the schedule totally unable to make up your mind as to which games to watch? That's a bigger problem this season as MLSnet.com's Match Center seems to enable a fan to watch all Major League Soccer (MLS) games.

Well, as one step to pulling at least one option from the list, I hereby pledge to skip all regular season weeknight games...much like last night's game between Real Salt Lake and the Columbus Crew. Once the playoffs roll-around, I'll watch anything, whenever, but regular season is...
