Actually, I'm starting to think we should change it from "Nick sucks" to "Nicks suck," at least when discussing New York-New Jersey-New Brunswick as a team. Later, COZ
Rock! I'm curious to see the lineups, since Bradley played what looked like it could have been an opening day lineup against the U-17 squad, while we've been focusing on trialists. This is the first game between MLS sides in the preseason, isn't it? Later, COZ
It's a final: Chicago 2 - 0 Metros 01 min: Whitfield 17 min: Beasley (PK) Fire Lineup (4-4-2): GK-Zach Thornton (Henry Ring 46), D-C.J. Brown (Marco Feruzzi 46), D-Carlos Bocanegra (Kelly Gray 46), D-Jim Curtin, D-Orlando Perez (Nick Walls 46), M-Evan Whitfield (Jose Gomez 46), M-Logan Pause (Ryan Mack 46, Mike Nugent 75), M-DaMarcus Beasley (Ryan Futagaki 46), M-Leighton O’Brien (Craig Capano 46), F-Damani Ralph (Phil Swenda 46), F-Nate Jaqua (John Wolyniec 46) MetroStars Lineup (3-5-2): GK-Tim Howard (Scott Vallow 46), D-Steve Jolley (Torres Mestre 46), D-Eddie Pope (Joe Addo 46), D-Tim Regan (Joaquin Alvarez 46), M-Dillon Sheppard (Tim Glowienka 46), M-Jeff Moore (Craig Ziadie 46), M-Mario Rosas (Mark Lisi 46), M-Daniel Garnero (Kenny Arena 46), M-Troy Cowell (Chris Sanje 46), F-Jaime Moreno (Gabriel Valencia 46), F-Giovanni Savarese (Jacob LeBlanc 46) Nicks Suck. http://www.chicago-fire.com/pressbox/pressrelease/releasetext.asp?prID=1201
So first half: Thornton Brown - Boca - Curtin - Perez Whitfield - Pause - Beasley - O'Brien Ralph - Jacqua Second half: Ring Feruzzi - Gray - Curtin - Walls Gomez - Mack (Nugent) - Futagaki - Capano Swenda - Woly
My best guess as to whom "Jose Gomez" is: http://fduknights.ocsn.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/gomez_jose00.html
Faria and Razov? So Rodrigo is still in Brazil...is Ante training yet or he still rehabbing the shoulder?
I highly doubt Feruzzi was playing right back. He is pretty much a center attacking mid. Wonder if Evan schooled Regan on the goal? They had a little bitch slap session in second half stoppage time when the FIRE played the FIRE Reserves two years ago. Thats one sorryazz buncha 10 midfielders MetroScum put out there today.
ante also had ankle surgery after the shoulder surgery... the suspension will give him more time to heal
Will the real Jose Gomez please stand up actually, it's this Jose Gomez from Liberty University and the Charlotte Eagles: "2nd Round-2nd Pick (Open Draft) The Eagles chose Forward JOSE GOMEZ from Liberty University. The 5'8", 140 pound native of Val Rico, Florida started all four years with the Flames racking up 32 goals and 14 assists for 78 points. Gomez was named to the Big South Conference's "First Team" for the 2000 season, and was also named the conference's "Player of the Year" in 2000. Gomez also finished his college career as Liberty's' third all-time leading scorer." peter
Hey Peter, This is in NO WAY motivated by a selfish need to get out of sub-zero weather, but wouldn't it be great if one of these preseason games were broadcast on WBIG? Oh, waitaminute, replace "in NO WAY" with "ENTIRELY." Later, COZ
Re: Will the real Jose Gomez please stand up Well how was I supposed to know? He also has a trial with DC, fwiw. And damn you Liberty! Canadia sucks! (ok... so only about 3 people will get that)
Bruce? Did anyone spot BA at the game? I'm certain he was there since all three of his sons were involved.
