RSL vs. KC Wizards; Wed. 8/29; 7:00 p.m. [R]

If RSL pulls this out, it will have 15 pts. vs. LA's 14 pts. A win vs. the Galaxy on Saturday would put RSL at 18 pts.

 

Amazing what a couple of goals will do for your optimism...

 

KC is getting more possession deeper in RSL's third...

I still predict a KC goal before the game is over.

 

Yes. It's the injury that kept him out of the Chivas match.

 

RSL trying to get too cute now -- especially Bomma.

Just play direct on the ground like in the first half.

I don't think RSL is the same without Morales.

 

Two Lancos'? I think you mean Watson.

 

Espindola showing some nice skill one v one.

2-0 RSL.

 

Much more even game in the second half.

KC gets a goal. RSL doesn't get another.

 

What RSL is lacking in the second half that it had in the first is service.

Forwards aren't getting the same service they had in the first half so we don't see them getting forward like they did before.

 

Harris in for Talley according to the graphic on the screen.

I predict that, with this substitution, RSL's shape will get even worse.

 

Eddie Johnson with a goal.

 

The momentum of this game has comletely done a 180.

Can RSL maintain the lead?

Dubious.

 

I don't like Kreis' substitutions.

Morales' was necessary. We don't know why Pope came off, but it must have been a knock.

I don't agree with the Harris substitution. It is going to cause RSL to bunker and lose even more possession.

Can KC get an equalizer?

 

RSL has played the majority of the second half in its own half.

I don't like what is happening to RSL.

 

RSL has used all of its subs and Espindola is cramping...
