great win tonight. red seemed a little harsh and really tilted the match in skc's favor...but i'll take it! bring on fc dallas!

prayers to muamba and his family. that was heartbreaking to watch this morning.

I don't have a problem with the Red. The Jersey grabbing thing bothers me since you know the players have a ton of skill but they get clutched and grabbed all the time. I want to see artistic football damnit. Livestrong was very loud and the members section was rocking. Sweet flyover, the bathroom lines were manageable and it was a great night weather wise.

What a great home opener. The red was not what cost NE the game. Their defense was AWFUL. Their goalie actually played a rather stellar game. Espinoza alone could have had five goals and ended up with none. CJ proved he could have missed later in the game. Again, great play by the goalie.

The energy was AMASIN! The weather was perfect. Everything feels like it has picked up where last season left off. So very exciting.

AZChief · 03-18-2012, 10:29 AM

the park was definitely rockin'! even with the revs feed on direct kick you could feel the crowd's passion.

memyself, agree the red didn't decide it and that the revs were fortunate not to lose by a much greater margin. that said, both players were arm checking, the ball was playing to the corner vs. towards the goal and it seemed a yellow was warranted in that situation...though i'm not complaining!

Header updated. I thought this was kinda cool from a high vantage point as well.

|Zach| · 03-18-2012, 11:42 AM

As far as the red goes...I wasn't very far from it and I remember when I saw it in person it seemed very fair...on video...not *quite* as much but I still think its a legit call.

I really think the refs have been quite good for the first two games of the year.

Clearly not news to ANYONE who has been to a game or even remotely paid attention to the trajectory of this team. Still, it's nice to be noticed for something GOOD sports related in this town. It happens so rarely.
