    Orlando has had 4 or so chances and are still sitting on a goose egg.

    Carlos Azquez could have a hat trick and more by now for Orlando. No goals instead.

    Ascues isn't exactly a goal scoring threat but he keeps getting chances in the box.

    This game is tremendously boring me. Must be too hot to not look like slow motion.

    HT: ORL 0-0 ATL

    Arguably the worst half Atlanta has played since the opening 45' at BOC stadium. Nagbe and Remedi aren't clicking tonight and the team looks waaaaaay confused as to their defensive responsibilities. Playing out like Atlanta wasn't prepared for what Orlando is offering.

    Blessedly the Lions have squandered their chances. Hopefully the heat is wearing in them, as well, and Atlanta can make the better adjustments over halftime.

    For the neutrals out there I'm sorry. Heat, seemingly deep grass, and lethargic play is making for a drag of a match.

    I am not sure I can forgive you until the memory of the game starts to fade. It's too real right now. :)

    Well that was coming since Orlando squandered 100 chances so far. 1-0 Atl. And of course it is Josef.

    And Ascues misses. Again. He is the Nagbe of Orlando.

    Wilmer Cabrera is watching this game in a hotel room in Toronto, and hoping Orlando is one less competitor for that 7th, and last playoff spot.

    Good grief Orlando. It could be 6-1 or more.

    Orlando is awful at home. Missing chances don't count in the standings.

    Did Gressel not just strike a player in the head on purpose? I know it was a weak slap... But it was a strike to the head...
    And he was being held by Nani...

    Wow that was ugly but I will take it. These are the types of games you need to squeak out a win.

    FT: 0-1

    Glad that's over. Easily Atlanta's worst performance since the beatdown by Chicago. Shutout only due to Orlando's profilgacy.

    Take the 3 pts. then throw away the game film. Sorry for all the neutrals who were watching.

    Why do so many slapping incidents happen in Orlando? Could it be the humidity?

    Going from ORL/ATL to POR/SEA makes me appreciate a good turf field.
