PBP: MLS 2013 Week 18 Continuous PBP Thread [Multiple R]

It has become uncanny lately. Started as mostly USNT but has become a thing in MLS too.

 

>mfw San Jose completed the rally

 

The Galaxy getting their clothes torn to pieces, figuratively. They just find creative ways to lose games. I call it "Trog Cycle Futbol."

 

That, and we had nothing else to do while waiting for the fireworks to start.

FYP.

 

Well I don't have any of that fancy video capture hardware and making gifs is a bitch without paid software, but since I couldn't find it anywhere, here's a crappy video...



Love the grin.

 

>one game on sunday
>lame

 

Just watching highlights. Nice stationary bike from Camara!

Watched Revs-Chivas live, which must have been the worst game or close to it. Revs were better than Chivas but so frustrating. If they're going to play Jerry Bengtson up top against a packed-in Chivas team, they'd better learn to put in a cross. They had two decent crosses all game which resulted in 1 side netting and 1 goal. Neither one was in Bengtson's direction.

 

I can't get enough of both Alan Gordon and Jon Busch's reaction to the winning goal last night. Busch was going crazy when they tied, but just about lost his mind after the winner. Fantastic stuff.

 

Gordon's winning goal was the #3 Top Play on SportsCenter this moring (8am MDT edition). Camara's goal from his butt was #1.

(But ESPN hates MLS)

 

Ugo Ihemelu disease. He was always good for one bone-headed blunder a game when he was in Colorado.

 

Just curious, any idea why Salinas would not get credited with an assist on the Gordon game winner? Both LA goals were given secondary assists. The only thing I could see is that on both LA goals the pass to the goal scorer was one touch, where Cronin took a touch before crossing to Gordon. Seems a pretty minor distinction, since Salinas did well to corral the cross to him and then to find Cronin with that pass. And then Cronin only took one quick touch to control before crossing. Just wondering how the secondary assists are awarded. Thanks.

 

It was good, but the Quakes do this to the Galaxy on a regular basis.

 

I was at the SJ-LA game, and it was truly a special experience. It had to be orgiastic for SJ ticket reps. Atmosphere was outstanding. lA supporters were in full throat, and they really got the SJ fans amped up. I sat in Section 117 and could not hear SJ supporters at all after the 10th minute.

Why the 10th minute? That's when the LA supporters decided to show up.

 

NYRB-Dynamo game to start on ESPN News.

 

Anyone have a stream? All of the streams are showing the 3rd place match, or are blacked out.

 

Is ESPN refusing to break away from soccer to go to a soccer game proof that ESPN hates soccer?
