Kansas City - San Jose (Saturday, 9/20) pregame/during-game thread [R]

GOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donovan

 

Yeeeeeeeeeee-Haaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww!!

 

66:00 Harris slips on bad spot on field, Dayak yellow carded!!! [Another of those bogus calls]

66:53 KC quick start on throw in almost catches SJ

69:27 SJ GOAL!!!! Donovan assisted by DeRosario. Great 1-2-1-2 sequence between the two. Doyle: "Look at burst of speed Z-Z-Z-Z-Z"

~70:30 Ekelund yellow card for nothing again.

71:14 Preki tries to chip Onstad shot goes about 40' high.

 

Awesome PBP! Thanks

 

73:00 DeRosario gets ball at corner of penalty area, just misses corner of goal.

73:30 Bad foul by Talley not called.

74:15 Gomez header caught by Onstead

KC getting frantic now.

 

Sorry, I don't do PBP

 

Hey, you're both doing an awesome job! I feel like I'm there!

 

Doyle: "When Landon Donovan is on, no one can touch him." Donovan chopped down from behind, no card.

Vintage EQ game, even Roner looks untouchable.

79:15 Jamil coming on for DeRosario.

 

Beautiful play by Donovan on his second goal, DeRosario with a nice return pass. I was going to let DeRosario off the hook with that assist, but then he goes and blows a giftwrapped goalscoring opportunity from Mullan. Ive counted 3 opportunities that DeRosario should have done much better on going in on goal.

KC goal was Dunivants fault if anyones. He tends to float in space giving guys too much time to collect the ball when its played and hes on the weak side. Klein just had too much space to collect, and he cut back on Dunivant who had to come in too fast to close him down making him extremely vulnerable to the change of direction. Needs to do a better job of finding and closing down the attackers.

 

Go, Jamil! Let's have a Donovan hat trick.

 

81:00 EQ playing possession game at midfield.

81:52 Walker steals ball, EQ brings ball up, the Walker looses ball. EQ looks content to play out remaining time. KC looks to have no ideas.

82:50 Preki takes corner kick. Conrad header wide.

 

83:55 Mulrooney hit hard from behind by Conrad, no whistle.

85:41 Wolde Harris header comes close to goal. Onstead was fooled, couldn't have saved it.

86:53 "Onstead makes save of the day!" On header by Preki.

 

Way to go, Pat!!!

 

87:55 EQ counter attack, Roner decides to take the ball to the corner flag.

88:19 Another EQ counterattack. KC plays out. EQ throw. Now EQ corner. More corner flag play.

89:46 KC plays ball over end line. Looks like no more scoring in this game, folks!!!

90"13 Three minutes of stoppage time....

 

OMFG!!! Donovan finally bags the Quakes a hat trick!!!!!

 

92:21 So I was wrong..... DONOVAN SCORES!!! 4:1 EQ. First hat-trick in SJ history.

 

Attendance?

Anyone happen to hear the attendance anounced?

 

HOLY FISHIN' FISHIN FISH!! HOLY FISH!

The first Quakes hat trick and it's Landon Donovan!

Holy fishin' fish!

Anyone who's been talkin' fish about Landon can now eat it!

 

HAT TRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Final whistle. 4:1 EQ.
