Sporting Kansas City - San Jose Earthquakes U.S. Open Cup (Wed., 8/9) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

I agree. He should have come off instead of TT (although maybe TT was gassed).

 

This is exactly why I don't get emotionally invested in our front office's DP selections.

 

That's fair. It's been turgid over the years, can't argue that.

 

I would have rather the Quakes lost this match as they deserved to. Losing in overtime or penalties is just wasting everyone's time.

 

I have zero confidence in Muma these days, and yet, this feels correct.

 

Heh heh, he said turgid...

 

I swear the guy on the left sits across from me in the Avaya.

 

You get 100 points for using the word "turgid" and you can't spell that without the letters "turd".

 

Houston are delighted I'm sure. Going down there in that heat after 120 minutes in the Midwestern summer? Yeah no thanks.

 

Has Jackson had a decent touch tonight?

 

Salinas isn't a starter. Ever.

 

Listening to these KC announcers, I hope we pull this out at the end. That'll put them in there place..

 

Yueill hasn't been able to maintain possession at all in this game. I like the kid, but j h, get him off the field and.put someone who isn't wearing cement bricks for shoes.

 

Last year I think.

2 goals.

 

It's a relatively cool night in KC, but 120 minutes is brutal no matter the weather.

 

During the initial ten or 15 minutes, Benny was awful, but he's getting stronger and stronger as the game goes on. If we don't win, we really pissed this away.

 

No he hasn't....Him and Lima both having really bad games..

 

Tarbell has earned his chops tonight.

 

Well, if Hyka were fit, he wouldn't be, so there's some solace.

 

Regardless of the outcome: Tarbell MOTM

 

Mad props to KC for the excellent crowd on a Wednesday night, I wonder if we could muster the same.

 

Ohmygod!!!!!

 

Hahaha Blessing sucks.

 

Jeez
