Republic FC (45 pts., 13-10-6 overall, 5-6-2 away) @ OC Blues (37 pts., 9-10-10 overall, 5-5-4 @ home) Orange County Great Park Television: none Radio: none Online: http://www.SacRepublicFC.com/matchday-guide Klimenta and Caesar are away on national team duty. Best possible finish is 5th place, not that it matters. However, we could easily drop to 7th or 8th if we don't take care of business. Three points the rest of the way guarantees us a playoff spot.
What the hell are they playing on? Looks like turf from the way stuff gets kicked up... but it also looks strangely like players are sinking into the surface a little, and all the players' running mechanics, for both teams, look a little odd.
Ever since I had that epiphany about Cazarez I'm going mad every time he passes the ball away and backs up into a conservative position.
Damn Just not our year. Didn't realize how much Barrera contributed pushing the ball. It really seems like so many of our counter attack/ 1v1 opportunities are screwed up by poor touches from the forwards or positioning of the ball by the mids (or both).
OC does have a nice looking little stadium. Hopefully they can gets some butts in those seats now that they have a permanent home
I would describe this season as schizofrenic..... one minute I'm cheering them on, and the next minute, I'm screaming "what the hell are you doing?" Last night was no exception.
IMHO there is a something wrong w/ the midfield & the defense - I am thinking that Hall has to cover a lot of ground & is hampered in protecting the defense
