That's nice and all, but: It's like someone once said about "games in hand" - they represent games you have to win Well, for the result last night to matter, we still have to win some games. Otherwise, it just doesn't matter.
Real played very well. Everyone on the team played well except Talley, Wingert, and Morales. Even Kipre was good. Espindola and Eskandarian were very good. Fortunately for Sigi Schmid, the Crew don't have to play the "good" Real Salt Lake.
Didn't catch Johnsons goal but Williams takes goal of the week for sure. Made Hartmann look bad and there was the look on Hartmanns face that was just perfect for that loser.
It's not that hard really. On the 1st goal, it looked like he was thinking about diving, and just happened to fall down. But either way, Hartman was doing his best Zach Thornton/Tony Meola impression last night.
The link in The Breather's post in the other teams news catchall thread has all 4 goals from that game https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=564978&page=26
actually looking at that again, Eske's feed on the second Real goal is impressive. Hard to tell from internet highlight feeds, but the goalies seems suspect on all 4 goals. Don't get me wrong, the last three were all good plays by the field players but seems better goalies would have been able to get 2 or 3 of the 4.
I was thinking more along the lines of getting beat from long distance AND near post in the same game. But that works too! Kudos!
Was this result significant? Let me check.. 1)Open up MLS net 2)Click on expanded table 3)Open up Excel. 4)Crtl-C 5)Ctrl-V 6)Highlight all cells 7)Format ->Cells 8)Click in merge cells box to unmerge cells 9)highlight all cells 10)Data->Sort ->Pts Look at table. Now I know, who the ******** cares about this result? You're 5 points ahead of us and RSL has been an afterthought since May. I'm more worried Colorado and Chicago. P.S. - Dear MLS - if you're gonna decide playoff spots using results of a single table, do us a ********ing favor and show us the damn table.
