According to the US Soccer scoreboard, Burn are up 2-0 at half, goals by Nhelko and OBrien. That's great, put them away with another before long and play some young ones. No idea who's in the lineup though.
We played well in the first half but F-ed around the entire 2nd half. Reyes got a double yellow for a tackle and then for shoving in the ensuing skirmish. Apparently the Va Bitches could shove all they want because even though several players were pushing Reyes around none got a card.
Reyes got the assist on the first goal and Nunez on the second. We got kinda lucky in the second half with some just over the bar headers and absolute grand larceny from Cassar on one save.

that Cassar save was save-of-the-week in any league in the world caliber (IMHO). i'm not sure if he would've been able to get to it before it was put on frame, though?
a couple of other notes: we had about two (2) good flowing plays, and both of them were goals.
Eric Quill: it's not a treadmill, it's a pitch. the pitch doesn't move, and apparently you don't either. if you're not gonna run, GET OFF THE PITCH and let someone else play, you roster-sucking black hole.
On to the next round. Did Burn ever win a USOC game with Jeffries at head coach?
How can you forget 3 in 5? That was the time the Burn had to play 3 games in 5 days thanks to US soccer screwing us by scheduling our US Open Cup semi-final game on in between a weekend MLS game and mid-week MLS game.
So the Burn got to the semi's in 2002 with Jeffries before losing to LA.
