San Jose - Los Angeles (Saturday, 10/25) during-game/postgame thread [R]

Anyone know the link to the audio webcast? I know it sounds like heresy, but I think the only option would be through the Galaxy's flagship station.

I usually try and find this through www.socceraudio.com, but that's not working for me at the moment.

In the meantime, I'll also try and dig up the lineups via www.mlsnet.com.

EDIT: Also, since we had daylight savings time adjustments here overnight, I hope I've got the local conversion for the kickoff time right... it's 1 p.m. Sunday here now, which I hope translates to 7 p.m. Saturday over there?

 

How does attendence look?

 

Was anyone else surprised by the starting lineup for SJE?

Are Agoos and Donovan (a) nursing slight injuries, (b) in need of rest for some reason, or (c) sitting to give the bench more depth during the play-offs?

 

Here's the rest of the line-up details:

San Jose Earthquakes -- Pat Onstad, Brian Mullan, Troy Dayak, Chris Roner, Todd Dunivant, Ian Russell, Ronnie Ekelund, Richard Mulrooney, Manny Lagos, Dwayne De Rosario, Rodrigo Faria.

Substitutes Not Used: Jeff Agoos, Arturo Alvarez, Jon Conway, Landon Donovan, Roger Levesque, Josh Saunders, Jamil Walker.

 

I'm guessing (b).

Lineups for both teams...

http://www.mlsnet.com./games/03/tracker.php?gamename=10252003_LASJ&version=tracker

Los Angeles Galaxy -- Kevin Hartman, Danny Califf, Hong Myung-Bo, Tyrone Marshall, Cobi Jones, Simon Elliott, Peter Vagenas, Chris Albright, Alejandro Moreno, Carlos Ruiz, Arturo Torres.

Substitutes Not Used: Mauricio Cienfuegos, Alexi Lalas, Ricky Lewis, Jesus Ochoa, Dan Popik.

San Jose Earthquakes -- Pat Onstad, Brian Mullan, Troy Dayak, Chris Roner, Todd Dunivant, Ian Russell, Ronnie Ekelund, Richard Mulrooney, Manny Lagos, Dwayne De Rosario, Rodrigo Faria.

Substitutes Not Used: Jeff Agoos, Arturo Alvarez, Jon Conway, Landon Donovan, Roger Levesque, Josh Saunders, Jamil Walker.

Still trying to get that elusive webcast... anyone have a direct link?

 

Once again, I'm guessing (b)-- but I've got a hunch that Donovan may come in after the break.

Misconduct Summary:
SJ -- Brian Mullan (caution; Tackle from Behind) 15
LA -- Chris Albright (caution; Tackle from Behind) 17
LA -- Arturo Torres (caution; Tackle from Behind) 36

Hartman's only save has come from a Manny Lagos shot in the 37th minute.

 

I went to the 1540 am website but the link to the live broadcast was down. Please post if you have better luck.

Seems from the stats like a pretty even 1st half, each team with 4 shots and we had the only one on goal. Based on this first 1.5 games vs. LA, I'm real worried about the two that will count. They creamed us at home and are playing us even on the road. I know Donovan and Agoos are out but Cobi was out last week so ... ok that's not quite even but still, I'm worried.

 

Only one sub as the second half starts, Lewis replaces Ruiz for L.A.

 

We couldn't score in a brothel.

 

!@#$%&* LA goal... C'mon Quakes! Do something!

 

Alejandro Moreno in the 56th minute.

 

LA -56th Minute. Goal Scored by 15-Alejandro Moreno, 6th of season. Assisted by13-Cobi Jones, 8th of season and 12-Simon Elliott, 2nd of season. In Goal was 18-Pat Onstad.

 

Because of our current inability to score, we're going to have to pack it in big time in the playoffs, especially the road game. We'll need both Dayak and Agoos healthy, in this respect it's great to see Dayak is actually playing tonight. Corrales will likely get the start at left mid. By the way where is he tonight? LD back to forward.

Pack it in. Hope for a LD counter where he out runs everybody or a Dayak header off a set piece or some other miracle. Our path to the 2nd round is looking like it will need to be 0-0, 1-0, we advance 1-0 on aggregate. Fine with me if we actually pull it off. But that will be very tough.

 

65th min. -- Sub for the Quakes, Alvarez for Lagos

69th min. -- Sub for the Quakes, Walker for Russell

70th min. -- Sub for L.A., Cienfuegos for Cobi Jones.

At least there's some fresh legs and some speed in the game for us.

 

I don't have any problem with Yallop keeping Donovan on the bench but don't let that blur the fact that LA seems to be a much better team than us right now.

 

GGGGOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL Jamil Walker 79th min

 

Yes!!

Is that our first goal for about a month, IIRC?

Finally, a shot on goal-- and good things happen when you put the shots on goal.

Now, bring on Donovan, and let's try and steal three points out of this.

 

SJ -80th Minute. Goal Scored by 13-Jamil Walker, 4th of season. Assisted by22-Rodrigo Faria, 1st of season and 14-Dwayne De Rosario, 3rd of season. In Goal was 22-Kevin Hartman.

And nevermind the suggestion for a Donovan sub... Levesque's on for DeRo.

 

WOOOOOO goal in the 80th by Jamil!!!!

WAY TO GO QUAKES!!!! TIED 1-1.

 

I wish Frank had brought in Donovan instead for overtime.

 

Who cares about Donovan, this match is meaningless.

Jamil Walker = way to go. Anyone else get the idea he's going to be a good player? Go Broncos!

5 yellow cards and counting ...

 

Me too.

Three points, for morale going into the playoffs, please... if for no other reason.

After 90 minutes...

Good point on Walker, he's scored some big goals for the club this season coming off the bench.
