Schmetz let them back in the game by letting Deuce take the PK. Why isn't their a hue and cry from the media anytime anybody other than Evans takes a PK when Evans is on the pitch? Yes, Dempsey is on the short list of greatest American offensive players. As Bum Phillips once said when asked if Earl Campbell is in a class by himself, "I don't know if he is in a class by himself, but whatever class he is in, it doesn't take long to call roll." Evans is not. But when it comes to Sounders PK takers, Evans is in a class by himself. I would trust Evans on crutches over any other Sounder. It is exceedingly unlikely that even Nick Rimando would have saved him, and the only valid criterion for deciding who should take PKs is who is most likely to score. Period. Good play from the Sounders up until that moment, but they have to put their shots on goal.
A win!!!! What is this feeling?? I don't understand?? It almost feels.. good?? I agree with Mateo. If B-Rad is on the field, he takes the PK..
FINALLY. From my perspective, in the first have the offense looked the most menacing I have seen this season. Unlucky (again) not to be up 2-0, 3-0 at the half. BUILD A BONFIRE!
