Think I'm pulling for LA to win it just because of Robbie Keane. Always liked him.

 

RSL is incredibly fun to watch, though. This has been a great game. 3 posts, great saves...unfortunately the HDC crowd sucks.

Haha, they are a bad crowd. I'm happy though, my good friend is a die hard Galaxy fan.

It's probably only because they need to fill pages during this international break (meaningless to Belgium anyway), but a couple of local papers are running quotes by Kljestan about how disappointed he is about not being selected by Klinsmann despite being first choice in the "only unbeaten team in the Europa league". He obviously feels he deserves a chance.

I don't rate him, but I'd have a hard time rating the guys ahead of him that German Tony Robbins does.

 

Donovan being out for the France/Slovenia games isn't really going to help our offense...

Williams has no ability to use his left foot.

Wenger on Brek's training stint:

 

Listen, I understand people who exclusively follow the EPL and the Champions League do so for good reason, it's the best. But trust me when I tell you that if I worked for the Chicago Bulls and they were bringing in a Center to work out, I would do due diligence to know what position the guys plays and what kind of talent he is before interviewing Coach Thibs about him. The Arsenal interviewer referred to Brek as a defender. I understand he played central defense in the European tour last winter, but good lord, he's not a defender. Know your [expletive].

nice save, but the us is getting dominated

 

Incredible save. Good time for a counter but the disconnect between the mids and Jozy is glaring which is still Klinnsman fault. Shea for the most part has been invisible today. Jozy has looked solid up top the few times we get around him. Dempsey had Shea there if he could have released it.

What a shock, once Edu and Beckerman left we looked competent.

 

Williams sucks. No left at all. I watched every single touch he had and it was with his right. Useless. Johnson looked useless.

 

Clint and Jozy need help.

Williams sucks.

He really does, doesn't he? We have like 9 (9!) central mids with equal talent but slightly different skills who are essentially the same player. It sucks. Torres, Kljestan, Williams, Jones, Bradley, Edu, Mixx, Beckerman, Johnson. You could make an argument to put Feilhaber on that list too. Ridiculous. Holden is our only true central mid who distinguishes himself and he's a gimp.

 

Anyway, Tim Chandler is good. Really talented etc. He isn't a left back though. He did Shea zero favors who had to track back too much to do what he does best, run at and off people in the final third.

 

Howard was great, Jozy was good and Clint did his damnedest, but everything else sucked.
