PBP: Crew @ Philadelphia, 8/29

Warzycha is a frakking nutjob. That is all.

 

At the match. Beautiful night. Somebody tell me how to post a picture.

 

Whew... thank goodness Mendes is getting a rest.

 

Glad to see that we're resting some players for Saturday's match.

 

Dear god, how does FSO make highlights from a match they broadcast originally look like utter shite?

 

Holy cow, the feed is even worse than it has been.

 

Guille had a few things to say about Higuain

(From this article on mlssoccer.com)

"When you decide to play in another country and you get immediate results it’s amazing and it’s good for your confidence” he said. “However, everyone needs to know those performances won’t happen in every game.”


As much as I would love for Federico's performances to stay at this high level. These words feel pretty realistic after all the smoke we have been blowing up Higuain's ass since Saturday. I love what I have seem so far from him and hope it continues tonight, but will try to keep my expectations in check.

 

If you drink enough, even HD looks like SD.

Edit: errr. the other way around.

 

Glad I'm not the only one whose HD isn't actually HD.

 

That's weird. The first attack of note comes against our left flank.

 

Brilliant from Higuain. Twisting and turning away from multiple defenders pressing very hard.

 

Only took 2 minutes for Williams to get beat

 

That's tantamount to buttrape on Arietta and nothing gets called.

 

Standard definition = 480
FSO HD = 480.5

 

It's that 0.5 that makes all the difference!

 

Williams needs to be subbed at half. His legs might fall off

 

And there Arrietta gets nailed, and we will see if he can get back up...

 

Wow, could have been a red. Nice scissor tackle

 

This doesn't look good

 

Arrieta definitely rolled his ankle there. I'm astonished that he's back up and walking, let alone able to put weight on it.

 

Anyone have a link to a place where this match is not blacked out... I have no idea why I continually pay for MLSLive year after year but when I need it to watch a match, it never seems to let me. Ugh.

 

Hold on to that ball, Birch. Possession will preserve legs.
