San Jose Earthquakes - Houston Dynamo FC (Saturday, 5/24) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

great to see Bruce bring some height and box presence...night and day having that direct push up top...Hernan was dropping deeper, not what we needed...

 

Munie actually stole his hat trick...Judd was unmarked right behind him...great Play by Munie to attack that cross.

 

Judd having his best game ever for us.

 

Crap fouls by Houscum and poor officiating!

 

F-!!!

Damnit!

 

I f-ing hate these announcers.

 

Bad boneheaded turnover by Harkes to start that counter...crap

 

Uggggggg

 

Well earned yellow by Roberts there.

 

Poor officiating, but awesome goalkeeping by Bond. That was the difference in the game.

 

Had a grad party for a friend’s son.

It must have been an exciting game!

Glad the Quakes got one point.

 

For the first time, this week I went to San Jose Vietnam Town and Little Saigon. I had no idea they had such a huge shopping area — biggest of any Asian-American community I’ve seen.

 

Edwards had a pretty good game too, except for the last goal he gave up

but great comeback by the quakes. Too bad they couldn’t get the win

 

There was a lot of booing of the ref tonight.
Seemed deserved.

 

Tonight, Josef Martinez was Pellegrino-level bad.

 

Talk about highs and lows...a real jekyl and hyde game...great plays, blown plays...really a shame we couldn't see that game out when we had all the momentum...tough one...you bring on fresh legs for energy and to close space quicker, but the discontinuity it causes is disruptive...maybe Leroux was gassed, but I wanted to see the smarties on the field in that situation. Nice to see Judd have a good game, he's been improving little by little, this was a real solid effort, hopefully we continue to see him as a contributor, when he gets his chance. The jury is still out on Hernan at forward...just an okay game from him, maybe rusty, but the game changed when he subbed out and we went direct with more speed and box presence. I have a feeling Bruce is really going to chew some ass and stew on dropping two points giving up the late lead.

 

I think a combo of Bond making some fantastic saves...flying off his line and Martinez not playing real game minutes in a month.

 

3 1v1’s with the keeper, he’s gotta do better than lifting it up into Bond’s arms. A chip over or go around him.
