I'll take a Preseason Grouchy Point since they were good dogs, chr0st. And without any match stats we can not confirm there was actually any passing. WINNING is the only other choice I'd consider but no one picked that.
Coaching genius Oscar Pareja lost to that schmuck Caleb Porter? Hell has frozen over... Pareja at Tijuana so far: 6 games played - 1 win / 1 draw / 4 losses 3 goals scored / 9 goals conceded / -6 goal difference
Game recap also omits goalscorer name. Does FIFA prohibit releasing individual stats from closed-door games? Also, maybe the match was closed-door because the individual player stats are too important to the team's preparations to let them become public? I mean, why else not open up the gates and let people watch?
When I could not find the goalscorer’s name in the official Crew write-up, I felt as though I had failed at some reading comprehension passage.
With details sketchy, that 1st half looks like 3 CBs (Keita, Crognale, Abubakar) and two wingbacks (Maloney & Jimenez). 352/343 looks likeliest to me. I would8 guess the latter, but do not know enough about Berhalter/the rook to know their prederred spots. -----------------Kempin----------------- -----Keita---Crognale--Abubakar----- Maloney---Donawa--Berhalter--Jimenez ----Opoku-----Mullins-----Meram 343 in attack, morphing into 541 or 442 in defense.
Remember, like St. Dunc, Maloney was a striker in college. So they may have been trying him up a bit--and I think your analysis reflects this possibility.
I'm going to go out of my way to actually go to the Supporter's Summit this year just so I can ask who scored yesterday! Porter better be ready to protect his state secret or give up the goods, ok?
