    Is it just me, or does the field seem deeper into the outfield than it was last week?

    Colorado is looking surprisingly good [surprising to me, at least. the last time I saw 'em they were getting gobsmacked by the USL1 Sounders :D ]

    I remember Marinelli in his Boro days, he had one good game. Shame, he looked quite good that day.

    Yes, at one time he was touted as a coming "Great"...he must have showed some flashes of that promise or no one would ever have claimed that.
    Right now, unless he proves me wrong this season [:D], he is a solid, useful, midfielder for a solid MLS side. That may be good, but it is definitely not Great.

    They already have regrets, I think. It's up to Gallardo to dispel them, if he can.

    Nice movement out by Coundoul to prevent that shot from ever really getting off.

    He was signed by Bryan Robson though :D

    He tore Derby apart in his best game and scored 2 goals, sadly he never did much after that. He did score on his last appearance for Boro though, away to Fulham.

    Yes, so far it is quite uninspiring. Is the field smaller than usual for the professional game?

    We need Mastroenin to go into one of his bullheaded red rages. Say, against Hartman's distracting hair style.
    That would make it a bloodbath in no time :p

    Did KC even get a shot on goal that whole half? Yikes.

    Is he averaging a goal and an assist a game? Because other than a pk goal versus LA (on a very soft call), I haven't really seen a whole lot that makes me regret letting him go. Maybe his energy, but that doesn't mean anything if he isn't producing.

    Cummings blows a wide-open shot.

    That bleach in his eyes comment is the highlight of the game so far.

    "One of significance is the camera angle on that main shot, which should improve significantly this week, he said. The Wizards are eager to show how aggressive they plan to be on fixing what needs fixing and polishing up what's already working."

    "The smallish field dimensions were an optical illusion -- the same way shots from the old Highbury, Arsenal's former ground, looked narrow due to a lower-than-usual camera position. CAB's field width is 70 yards, just a touch wider than the Wizards' former grounds at Arrowhead. Also, the Wizards grounds crew now has control over the quality of the pitch, which wasn't the case at Arrowhead.""
