    Noho Hank obviously has some ulterior motives in this match.

    Oof! The next five matches are going to be brutal. That’s a real murderer’s row we’ll be facing.

    Smith is a moron. He needed to dribble into the corner there.

    Shoddy attacking interrupted by brief moments of sublime play, shoddy defending interrupted by brief moments of total comedy, brief moments of shoddy refereeing interrupting constant episodes of truly awful refereeing.

    Yep, it’s MLS.

    We're up by 2 with less than 2 minutes to play and Johnson is still hedging his bets on taking the full three points.

    He certainly knows this team.

    Since I am the designated grump, you all know this will be followed by a 2-0 loss in Philly.

    Chapman with one last bit of buffoonery, blowing more than 30 seconds early.

    I don't know what you guys are on, but I had a few friends watching this game at my request, and they absolutely had a BLAST watching it. I think they are going to watch MLS a bit more as a result of this one.

    I can see that, as a neutral, this is really unlike anything they'll see in other leagues. It's almost a different sport.

    That would be kind. More like 7-2.

    Live in the present guys.

    It wasn't pretty, but solid finishing, lots of goals for the good guys, and three points on the road.

    Enjoy.
    Happy 4th!!

    I think the TV clock was all messed up. It was stopped at 90 for a while until they figured out how much stoppage time there was going to be

    Wow, just finished the tape. Did not see that coming. That was the first time I had seen Taxi "live" and he is the real deal. Estrada was OK and Kamara tried hard. But really, this team has absolutely no depth behind a very mediocre starting 11. I thought Guediri was awful and a non-factor -- not quick enough to defend and not involved in the attack at all. The central midfield was poor as well. Sure, give Skundrich and Durkin props on the first goal, but Orlando was just running past them. The first Orlando goal came because Durkin got pulled out of position to help Skundrich so Torres was completely unmarked. Rodriguez "might" help at LWB, but the middle of the park is a hot mess. Glad to see the 3 points, but this type of performance is unsustainable.

    Don't get me wrong. Romo is probably the best backup since Joe Willis.
