With all the world cup watching I have been doing, going back to watching MLS quality was a little hard. I kept hoping for some quality runs, through balls, possession, anything...instead we got an almost lifeless effort by the boys wearing rave green. There was no real hustle, heart, or creativity put into the game in my opinion.
The boys should have been ready to go after a few weeks off. It looked like they might have spent the time at a pool side bar. I find it hard to point out a player I feel gave it their full 90, Kasey played well but seemed a bit off at times. The back line was shredded (did they take lessons from the National team...cue the boos). I don;t think we had a midfield out there, and the front line was disorganized (how do you kick a PK to the goalie...now I know). Why did we not protect Le Toux? He played harder than any two of our players combined...man I love that effort.
Here's to hoping for better things the rest of this season. How fast can we get Alonso back? When is Blaise getting here?
Of note, most of the teams I wanted to win this weekend lost; USA, Mexico (cause like to see the boys from the continent win), Sounders, and my team. That might be fueling a little of my displeasure this morning.
