Don't let that diving little sucker-fish take another point from us! Go to Goal of the Week!, vote for Ronald, and keep DC at the top of the list this week too! revelation: edit to MLS website because link to Goal of the Week didn't function.
I probably would in good conscience, if Gros had really tried to pass the ball and not shank the onetime shot.
I've watched that a few times over the weekend and NO WAY was it an attempted shot. Not even Wynalda could shank a shot that bad It was an obvious pass into the middle, which is the best option in that situation. I do think he turned the ball inside because he saw Freddy in the box, not Ronald, but it was a pass into the middle just the same. Freddy nicely stepped back and let Ronald take it. I think the FSW announcers referred to it as a shank because it came off the leg, not the foot; not because it was a badly missed shot. Thankfully, I watched on CSN and was never led to believe it was anything but a great (unselfish) pass. I voted for that one because it was a great build-up and score, not just a shove, turn, shot kind of goal.
