Taking a calculated risk is not the same as "lazy understimation". Cup games are the perfect chance to throw some untested or new players to the wolves, or try out some new formations or strategies. Better a misstep in the Cup than the league.
So, I was busy with other things last night and didn't even look at the score. But I checked today, and ... oh, Columbo ...
Losing fans at FA Cup used to stay to applaud winners - until Liverpool played Man United. Shame it no longer happens.
Interesting the hard-sell Fox and MLS is doing for the Sounders-Timbers. No longer are we voting on the best rivalry on MLSsoccer.com, or debating the best rivalry on TV, they are declaring it unequivocally. Can't help but think this is a big ratings push.
It's no Trillium Cup, but it's not a bad rivalry. Who was that, Holden, pretending he doesn't know how big this rivalry is? Child, please.
Katie Witham: "Over 1,000 fans made the trip down here". Who are we playing, Vancouver? Who will be Geigered today?
