Unless we start playing through DF and get a forward up top, playing against the Pids is going to be ugly soccer.
I was going to predict a score of Colorado 1 - 0. The score being more of a reflection of the number of FCD players forced out of the game due to injury.
More of the same. We thought it was nothing, we started X rehab regiment, now it's worse. Glad we're at least looking at this from all angles. http://www.3rddegree.net/2012/07/10/fcd-injury-update-another-mixed-bag/
"I think it has something to do with the foot, the toe or something. I don't know." I really hope he was just using press-speak for that line because he sounds like a jackass.
If by skipper you mean Ugo, yes I will agree. If by skipper you mean Hernandez, one can only hope. If by skipper you mean SH (in some weird way), then come what may...
Ohh yeah. I forgot we were using bus analogies, and I slipped into a boating analogy. I suppose I should have been more clear and stated that " the bus driver is done".
I think this could be a good game. FCD will create plenty of chances, but make a mess of most of them. Certainly, no coach is better equipped to defeat FCD than El Generalito. I say Colorado takes a 3-2 lead deep into the game, and, while SH plays with his d mids, Papi's boys grab another. Colorado 4-2 Dallas.
You have to give ole Shellas props... He doesn't let anything get in the way of starting his man. I fully expect guarda to somehow get subbed in. “@FCDallas: #FCDallas XI: Hartman, Loyd, Pertuz, Hedges, Benitez, Hernandez, Jacobson, Shea, Villar, Ferreira, Castillo. #DTID!” Old broken knees starts again... Will he let DF take the set pieces without a temper tantrum? Stay tuned.
Wiedeman subbed in for injured Koevermans in the 40th already for Toronto. Why is De Guzman not even on the bench for us?
So that is what is supposed to happen when you kick the ball from the corner.... Thanks for reminding me David.
Ah, there are my least 3 players doing exactly what they always do. Benitez with a half ass effort to mark/track back for a goal, Villar do absolutely nothing but turn the ball over and get run past by opposing midfielders, and Hernandez giving the ball away needlessly. Glad all the progress the squad has made could be undone by putting these 3 back in the starting 11. Oh and looky there, Rodriguez just scored.
Yeah we don't suck anymore... A left back playing right mid scored... He probably should have started anyways.
I'm going to agree with Balboa that Ferreira makes this team credible ... and we still have Jackson and Perez to replace Castillo and Villar.
