    Maund starting for RSL means if we don't score then we are the worst team in the world

    All I can figure on this lineup change is we have to know if he is able to be the #3 for the rest of the year, and if his craptastic game in the USOC is what we've got or if he can do better. Looks to me like we changed the lineup to a pseudo 4-3-3 (really probably a 4-5-1) to provide enough cover for Maund via a pair of d-mids. Otherwise we'll be stretched as could be.

    Maybe its a group of fantasy players who just crushed it last week.

    I once played a pick-up game with Lovel and a few friends and he was legitimately one of the worst passers on the field. It was kind of shocking but it wasn't shocking at all really.

    That was a bone-crunching tackle there though.

    This game would have been better suited for the 4 p.m. Serie A nap time slot.

    Shocking finish by Convey.
    But boy have I missed Koevermans. Creates chances for himself and/or teammates almost effortlessly. To quote Winter, "that's a real striker"

    Salt Lake needs to score at least two, because there's no way they keep a clean sheet today.

    I'm currently at some terrible family party with my wife's family. These people are more boring than a scoreless draw involving DCU and TFC. At least I get to blow this taco stand in 2 hours to go to the Union game. The things I do for my wife...

    Koevermans is like the less-mobile MLS version of Ben Roethlisberger. If you saw the guy out in public and had to guess what he did for a living, I have a feeling "professional soccer player" would fall somewhere between astronaut and NAACP president. Gotta respect the effort and skill, though.

    Respect for putting off for the end of the season what you can do today.

    I just saw one of my wife's uncles put mayonnaise and ketchup on a hot dog. I suddenly don't feel so hungry.

    If you're Sandoval I think you have to cut that back in front of goal with your left...or at least go to goal with all that space. Going back to Beckerman was the wrong decision.

    If Plata were American we'd be clamoring for him to get into the USMNT setup. Really tricky player, I've liked him a lot since he's gotten into the league and think he's still pretty underrated.
