Obviously, name recognition. He is nowhere near an All Star this year. That Accam and Alessandrini aren't on the team while Kaka is .... is a travesty.
This game is HIGH intensity! If I were the ref, I would be warning Bendik about delay. Every time he gets the ball, he is holding in interminably before launching it.
Just finished the yard work. So Jason Kreis is running the experiment that Bruce Arena didn't during the Gold Cup that SKC fans have been wanting to see for years. Vermes (and Arena) played Dwyer alone up top on what we refer to as Dwyer Island. By my observation, Dwyer got 3 minutes of time in his three caps with a second forward. I've been waiting for someone to run Dwyer with a strike partner.
Love how they missed an Atlanta chance with a closeup of Larin while announcers were discussing his transfer rumors.
They talk about Dwyer as though he's Ronaldo and Messi combined. This is a guy who was just successfully replaced by a guy who couldn't score in a brothel in Hull or Sunderland on the national team.
Replay missed a goal! I think in this case, it's forgivable; that went very fast. Hell of a goal; hell of a game.
