http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...001_23762704_10151069839614001#fb7d068f05f612 I love the comments section.
Holy crap. What a bunch of crybabies. I generally try to ignore comments sections because they're usually filled with homerific fanboy statements, but that's over the top. 3G, 3A, all of which were critical to us not losing any points this week.
Hey I just picked up a bottle of whine from Washington called "Only The Sounders Can Win." It is really annoying and seems to be made of sour grapes.
I like the one comment about how Montero got so many goals in the past six games... what? Seattle plays six league matches in the same week?
thread title should actually read: "Higuain captures MLS Player of the Week award and Crew fans hearts and a snog off of RW"
These are the same people who used to celebrate the fact that they would vote for Seattle tap-ins for goal of the week and say it was justified when their ridiculous ballot stuffing would win. So yes, it's pretty funny. And yes, I would have voted for Higuain too. He has totally changed the team, pretty much single-handedly.
The title of "Top Commentator" really loses any meaning when any yokel with internet access can post a comment to an MLSnet article and automatically be a "Top Commentator."
Freddy Montero was nowhere to be found until about 4 weeks ago and Seattle was managing just fine in the playoff chase. Crew was listing like an Italian cruise ship until Higuain came along. Now all of sudden Crew is being mentioned as a team you don't want to meet if they make playoffs. Seattle needs to shut the fukk up.
Serious question: Has any DP in MLS ever had such an immediate and obvious positive effect on his team? I'm just stunned by how fast he got down to business. Henri took awhile to get up to speed, Beckham was a bust for two years... Maybe Blanco in Chicago? Was even GBS this good this quick? ------RM
Are we just going to keep this thread up as is since the title applies to both weeks. Oh, and if no one has noticed, this guy is pretty freakin good.
Oh, young one. If he did that, the suspense would be gone. Do you reveal the mystery in the first few chapters of a good book? Do you give away the ending in the first few minutes of the movie? McCullers told him he wanted more butts in the seats. Higuain told him "How about we hold off for the magic show until the end? That way we can tell prospective fans that you'll get a full 90+ of excitement with this team." So, not only is Higuain making Warzycha look good, he's making McCullers and the staff look good. What you don't know is that during half-time he's working on improving concessions at Crew Stadium.
