Ameritoon Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Can't believe there were games this past weekend. Red Bulls had five guys on international duty. They missed Henry through injury too. I watched a bit of the game, completely played for the draw the whole way through. I purchased MLS Directkick or whatever it is, really enjoying my Saturday's with it now. Can't blame them though. Been trying to get into MLS more. I live 20 minutes form Red Bull Arena, but still haven't seen a game there. I'm going out there in June, hoping to catch a game.

Guest Heneage Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm a bit annoyed Eric Hassli got himself sent off last match as he was showing good early promise for VC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring, no creativity. I think you could put it down to the Red Bulls style though, they did well with what they had. Sounds about right. Schelotto was our creativity. Someone has to step up this year, and I'm really not sure who it's going to be. I hoped Rogers and Ekpo would play a bit like Bale and Lennon, swapping wings etc, but Rogers didn't even start in the first game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I thought Galaxy's keeper looked dodgy against the Sounders a few weeks ago. Now I'm convinced he's crap. Saunders is shit, but when Ricketts returns from injury Galaxy will have the best keeper in the MLS once more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 He was terrible against RSL. Making really basic errors, like 'kids in the park' decisions that just left me baffled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 If you go to this http://www.sporting85.com/tryout.php and give them your name, e-mail, and birthday you should be able to watch Ochocinco's reserve game. It's currently offline at the moment, but was working earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should baffle you, he's really really terrible. I don't understand why Galaxy didn't draft in a keeper considering just how terrible Saunders is, knowing Ricketts would be out for a while.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 They must have better keepers than him. Even if it was just a random guy walking around LA. "Dude, stop this ball going over this line for 90mins, please." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 He looked steady his technique was decent but not perfect he looked a little tense. Seems a nice chap and I think this was really a bit of a mini PR Stunt for Kansas to open up some new markets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 In some ways from a Football perspective though it's given some of the games detractors a good lesson. This is not some game purely for small girls and a high school alternative to Basketball, it takes real talent play this game even at a level like MLS. I find it so naive when you see American sports fans cite Soccer as a soft sport or not physical because once they saw some dude dive or roll around.

I find it so naive when you see American sports fans cite Soccer as a soft sport or not physical because once they saw some dude dive or roll around. Some of my American Newcastle friends said a similar thing. Didnt want him to succeed as it would reinforce the American stereotype about how easy football is. the diving, rolling around thing is driven by the likes of Italian / South American football and hence why Premier League has gained so much popularity out here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I hope they play other places besides KC. I am not going out there, but would love a west coast appearance. FAO Cubaricho and any other Pacific North-West based supporters (ToonCanuck?). A few friends and I will be at the Timbers v Seattle game on July 10th if anyone is interested in a Toon Army west coast piss up in Portland before the game. Should be a good atmosphere.

SEMTEX Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Only lost one nil. Surprised tbh. Vancouver managed to come back from 3-0 down at home to KC, with their second goal coming in the 92nd minute and their third coming in the 93rd minute! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
