This has been one of the better MLS matches I've seen (which isn't saying much). At least both of the teams know how to keep a bit of possession and have some build-up play. Usually it's just try and force it the entire match, no one keeping any possession, etc..

It's the main guy on the desk that's talking the load of shits. He's commentating on College Football right now and it works, he's just not a soccer pundit.

Really dislike when people who go through the ESPN food chain eventually get to the soccer desk "A great corner for Beckham, a delicious feed and put through on net by McGee"

Good finish by Rodgers, to be fair to him.

I feel like if you had even just two really good CMs with an above average forward, you could totally boss this league.

Can't believe that free-kick just went that way. Totally biased towards "star" players like Donovan.

Been coming.

Horry cow those NYRB kits are atrocious.

If Pardew tells Marveaux to stay outside and help protect Simpson against Baines then I'd expect him to follow instructions and do as such, regardless of his own personal playing style. Just like Jonas had to do last week.

Someone got paid to write that article? What a jumbled up mess. The title of the article doesn't even make sense.

I love seeing all of these misconceptions about us (strong and physical, haven't played anyone, etc). Makes us stronger and more of a dark horse when we're playing teams. We are still considered weak and will be underestimated, which only helps us in the end. Long let it continue.

Agreed.

2-1, Best and one of the Taylors to score ours.

I think overall this season he's been deployed in a much more defensive nature than he really wants to be. That being said he still shows up all over the pitch and has a killer engine in him. For every pass he's not making (and therefore being rated badly by some) he's there blocking/stopping an opposition pass. He won't always be flashy but he's been solid as hell and a revelation for our squad since day one.

Dan raised a good point too earlier, the ball drifted out needlessly loads from their stylish centre backs lofting it over the top. Has to do mostly with the throw-ins, right?

"I thought both penalties were soft" - Pardew Fair play to him for that.

Really? GET THE FUCK IN! The leading question was about how important of a match it was after having been there to sign and getting a bunch of schtick off the fans tonight.

"If they want to boo anyone they should boo their boss" -Demba Ba

The presenter almost couldn't even get out that we are "one point behind Manchester United" like it physically hurt him to say that.

Sad we didn't get to see Ben Arfa, Santon or Marveaux tonight though.

Best looks knackered.

"He doesn't even go down!" Yeah well, you can still get a free kick without going down.

This is ridiculous.

This doesn't make any sense...
