Superliga 2008 - Games of July 12 and 13 (Multiple [R])

JUst clarifying there for you... only what 80% of all?

 

Does "boot the ball" not mean anything to the Revs' D?

 

Nyassi's play there typified MLS's problems in international competitions - an excellent recovery run to win the ball off of Torres, then plays a boneheaded backheel pass into his own penalty area.

 

We've got two subs left... does Nicol use them?

My guess: Nope.

 

Ironically, this game feels like a US-Mexico game. Not from the atmosphere in the stands but in the sense that Santos is clearly superior technically but New England is faster, fitter, bigger and overall more athletic, they frustrated Santos into stupid mistakes, stuck to their game plan and got the win.

Instead of having no answer for Beas' pace, this time it's Nyassi. Instead of Altidore with the finish, it's Dube. Instead of Mastroeni or Bradley or Clark taking names in central mid, its Shalrie Joseph.

Names are different but the result is the same.

 

Been to a lot of games in Europe or Latin America, have you?

 

LOL! Hey im just a 22 year old guy with my number shaved in the back of my head trying to do my job!

 

Why does Reis get the talking to by the ref?

 

that's "player of the game" Nyassi for you....

 

NyR is a self-loathing American soccer fan. Surprised?

 

Umm, I would add Larentowic as the guy taking names in Central mid. Did you not see him just level that dude around the 60th lol?

 

Someone tell Brad not to name the staff until the game is clearly decided.

 

Finally final...
New England wins 1:0

That wasn't the smartest game by the Revs and they were often way too casual and lacked any urgency. The cards and fouls at the end were just dumb. I had to follow the first half on MatchTracker because my linux box running my network screwed some settings up, but the second half wasn't that fun to watch. I couldn't tell which team was down a man at times. I wish I could have heard the crowd through that feed.

 

Lot of cards on the Revs. Ref is making sure their hands are tied in the next game.

 

Game over man, game over!

 

Lance Parker sounds like a name for a 70's P.I. or a porn star.

 

He found his own guy, and they got it out. What's the problem?

 

Revs win. They were CLEARLY the better team hands down no doubt about it... FMF teams just dont seam to be able to handle the quality MLS has to offer.

2-1-0 for MLS teams.

 

Is that what passes for product placement on Telefutura? Pretty cheesy.

 

Pachuca v. GOats EEUU shoud be a lot more fun to watch....
