I missed the AllStar game last Saturday (I'll get to catch it on tape this week) Could anyone who saw it post some impressions/reviews of the Burn players who were involved? Thanks!
Kreis had a goal and an assist. He and Graziani were teamed up front for a time, which looked a little weird. They did not punch each other. I jest. They were pretty friendly. Vaca played okay. And even though I wasn't drinking, I don't remember anything about Deering. I don't think Surez played either. Weird game. The half-time show was just about as lame as you will ever see. The best part was at the end, they had some two fireworks setups on either side of the stage: One of them was knocked over and shot the fireworks along the ground for about 20 yards. I like the All Star game but this one was a dud - due mostly to the weather.
I dunno. There were some pretty hot mamas up there on stage. As far as actual presentation, yeah, you're right.
Suarez started on the right for the MLS side and got pulled right before the delay because of an apparent injury. Does anyone know his status? Cleary, he's an essential player to Burn's success. I hope he's healthy by playoff time. Also, does anyone know more about his decsion to accept an invition to the Uruguaian Nat Team camp at the end of this year?
Ryan was nursing an injury entering the All-Star game. I imagine he felt well enough to start but didn't want push his luck amd stay in the game for too long.
Yes. From today's Dallas Burn Weekly Update newsletter: "Ryan Suarez played 18 minutes before leaving the game with a lingering hamstring strain while Chad Deering played the second half for the US National Team." The newsletter list Ryan as "questionable" for the Burn's upcoming U.S. Open Cup match.
Vaca I just realized, you know how Vaca has always thought of Etchevery (spelling sorry) as a role model. Think of how if must have felt to set him up for his goal, it could have been like a dream come true, growing up and never thinking one day you'd be on the same team as him. Just thought that was cool.
What?! Suarez might accept an invite from the Uruguaian NATs team? How old was he when he came to the states? Damnit, this would be very unlucky for the US nats...
