They were so mentally sloppy last night, pretty much the entire time from after the second goal until the 88th minute or so. When did kicking the ball out of play and re-setting stop being a thing that's good to do? SKC has been committing way too many dumb fouls and they've been giving the ball away very easily.

SKC started their season winning a bunch of games and they won those games primarily on defense and possession. Now SKC has earned only one single measly point out of the last 12 possible points, and it's because they have lost the ability to possess the ball or defend with any smarts.

If SKC plays their game, plays like the team they've shown, and lose? That's fine. But it's very, very frustrating to see them lose because they refuse to play like themselves.

Seeing Peterson Joeseph in the starting 18 was a surprise and then seeing him take the field was a real "wow" moment. He is the best dribbler and controller of the ball on the whole team...really fast but is still pretty young and raw. His change of pace when he went in was interesting as hell. I liked some of his patience in the final 1\3rd.

Agreed on both counts.

Lots going on around the league. I have a lot of stuff to post tomorrow.

TFC wins the flacid Canaidian Championship and gets into the CONCACAF Champions League *again*

What a pack of assholes.

Though credit to Ryan Johnson on the right for holding an invisible trophy.

|Zach| · 05-25-2012, 07:11 AM

Kenny Cooper.

Shutting everyone the hell up in Seattle. Awesome goal.

US vs Scotland tonight! Watch party at Johnnys downtown for anyone interested.

An early MLS game on NBC Sports at 1:30 central with a rematch of last year's MLS Cup. LA vs Houston.

Columbus vs. Chicago in a match of Eastern Conference teams.

Cascadia Cup match with Portland vs. Vancouver should be pretty damn good.

Sporting has to wait till tomorrow to play San Jose.

Ultra Peanut · 05-26-2012, 07:25 AM

Awesome postin', Big Z. This is the first match for SJEFC74 Fussballklub in months where a draw wouldn't feel even a little bit disappointing, considering the lack of Wondo/Lenhart and Bernardez' continued absence. Three week break after this, which is sad for me but awesome for a team with some injury and conditioning issues.

Also a US match, so that's fun.

**** RYAN JOHNSON

****ing hate that guy. He was so shitty and gave away the ball SO MUCH and I was so overjoyed when the Quakes traded him for basically nothing. In summation **** Ryan Johnson. Any day he's happy is a bad day and there is no more fitting place for him than Soccer Purgatory.

(My hatred of him, no matter how irrationally intense, is a very real thing to me.)

**Reaper16** · 05-26-2012, 09:17 AM

I don't see how San Jose doesn't walk out of LSP with at least one point, even with them missing their forwards. Sporting look like absolute dogshit and have for the last month. Maybe SKC can pull of a win if Zusi magically returns to form.

**the Talking Can** · 05-26-2012, 06:12 PM

friendly
