Metros beat Chicago, so with a win we could be out of last place. Lets see if the boys can fight through the odds and thin bench to get us a much needed win!
Not any mystery who will start---the only players still standing Reis Ralston. Heaps, John, Leonard Baker, Joseph, Pepe, Franchino TnT, Noonan Bench: Kante. Dorman, (and Big Luke, Brown, Thompson or our newest DV player)
The Crew tied and DCU is getting whipped so it is a golden opportunity. It would sure be nice to have a few healthy players so we have a reasonable chance to get some points tonight. Yes we have a chance but I'm not sure I could find anyone who would make a bet on our winning without getting huge odds.
Watching the KC-LA game while I wait for ours to start. A few thoughts. I HATE RUIZ. I can't begin to put into words what a ill feeling I get watching him fake it on the field. The little bit he contributes is easily undone by the fouls he commits (almost none called), and the dives he takes (often resulting in excessive card showing). Drama Queen is thine new name Ruiz. I am also tired of the LA love-fest. FSW seems to be LA happy (perhaps because of studio location?). I know they are (or were, depending on the out-come of this game) #1 in the league, but the FSW announcers always seem to have nothing negative to say about them. I just hope someday to have that sort of broadcasting crew dedicated to the Revolution (and that they deserve all the praise). Come on Revs, you've been offered a tremendous opportunity by the Chi loss, lets take advantage of it!!!

I really have a bad feeeling for this game. By the way, who is the other commentator, I remember hearing from him when Revs played at SJ last year.
Lousy video quality. Grainy. Lots of shadows making it difficult to makeout all the action. Revs seem to be holding their own, a few minor opportunities. But I think I'd rate SJ a little higher so far. But it's close. And soccer can be such a fickle game.
Lets not start that stuff in this thread. Lets just enjoy our team scoring first in an important game.
Leonard save a ball off the line!!! That was very close from SJ scoring. Revs are living very dangerously.
SJ still looks better, but we've got the better end of the score line (which is all that matters if it holds).
The good doctor is so excited he can't even type!! The Revs seemed to be losing their concentration towards the end of the half, but they held it out. That header that Leonard saved made me jump. We're very lucky to still have the lead. Cancela hasn't really done too much this half, but I have faith in him. Oh boy! The game is back on! Let's hope we can hold this one and come out with a hugely needed 3 points.
