I'll miss most of the match, because I'm going to dinner here in Italy, but I see that anyway Portland scored early, so I suppose it will be hard for Gotham to get back in the game...
Gotham will have to step up or other teams will have to to take them on. No different than seeing NC getting titles in last few years.
Wow, Purce taken down in the box and nothing called. Amazing save by Haracic on the resulting counter.
I'm watching live on CBS, can't modify a TV brodcast. Even if the D touched the ball, it certainly looked like other contact as Purce went down hard.
I've missed most of 1st, but now I've finished dinner and I could enjoy 2nd Half. I see the game is still "just" 1-0, so it looks like it could be open, although watching right now at highlights and stats it seems Portland was quite dominating.
Is Kuikka a newbie coming from college soccer (FSU, maybe, if I remember well)? Seems solid. The family name suggests Finland: is she from there or is she anyway American of Finnish descent?
And Lloyd equalizes on a textbook header. I'm happy with the score now, but I'd sure love to see some younger blood finding the scoresheet! X-D
