I think the last night's game should have been with a wider margin in goals. 4-0 (that goal for Rapids was an accident!!!). I am sure with the way our team plays, they are gonna go forward up in the point standings considering having almost everybody new in the team including the coach. Bob Bradley is doing a great work with the team!!!! got everybody going and I never saw anyone not putting 100% of their skills and they connect easily!!! And to the RAPPPIIIIDDDSSSS. Please stop playing dirty already...almost everybody got carded!!!!!(yellow) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK METRO GUYSSSS!!!
that was a nice goal from Craig Ziadie. a nice run into the box, shed some defenders and finished it well. I voted for his goal to be the top goal of the week on mlsnet.com
Recovering from a fever-inducing bug - and with a day of class on Sunday -- I had to watch the match at home. 1. I was really impressed with the speed of play, and with Metro's skill at holding the ball in extremely tight quarters, especially in front of the Rapid's goal. Passing, off the ball runs, total team support -- it was all there. 2. ESC came through in good voice! The 3-part anthem really sounded impressive -- more on that elsewhere and later. 3. I hope my season ticket wasn't counted in the 11K (!) that showed up. This match deserved WAY better than that. If I didn't believe I'd have spent a third of the match in the GS stalls I'd have been there. Can't miss trouncing the Dizzies next week. I only hope Kovalenko comes down with what I had! 4. We look better each game; make no mistake, this is a transformed team. There will be ups and downs this season, but we are now second place in the East and heading up. Believe it.
Howard - was that your question about doing away with overtime that they used on the FSW highlights show?
Guilty as charged. Funny thing, I had just gone into the kitchen for a cup of coffee; I returned in time to catch the very end of my spiel -- didn't realize it was me, till Harksie started talking about getting rid of OT all together, and his benchmate said, "Hey' Howard, at least we got rid of the shootout." Or words to that effect. Missed my own moment in the spotlight. Typical.
