He looked great. Composed on the ball, setting up one goal and finishing nicely on one goal from inside the box and spectacularly from his second on an unsavable volley from 27 yds

If the Houston game was a sellout, why so many empty seats? Embarrasing.
Seattle the better team? What are you talking about? Seattle didnt have a single shot on goal.
byrddude,
i was looking at videos of teams in argentina, and man are those fans cacacacacacrazy. its such an intense environment. only portland comes close to that in mls, probably cause their stadium amplifies the sound
DeRo took it easy on Hou out of respect for their stadium opener. Not the mention DeLahoya shared some coke w/him before the game, so DeRo wasnt quiet himself
Gutty win by RSL. Seattle controlled most of the game but it doesn’t matter because RSL back line is rock solid. RSL bunkered down in second half to get the win. Smart subs by Kreis and the three points keeps RSL on top of the west.
This is the most important win for RSL so far this season.
I’m an RSL fan and. gotta disagree. RSL did more defending than attacking in the secone half, though our defending was impressive.
And it will go the same way the playoffs went for Seattle last year, I hope. Seattle is the more polished team thus far this year but…it’s only just begun. RSLTID.
Seattle looked the better team for 35 minutes of the first half. RSL looked the better team in the 2nd half.
I thought Sounders were the better team. RSL scored on a defensive blunder.
But oh well, that’s the way it goes. Gotta give credit to RLS for getting 3 points in front of 39k Seattle fans.
We’ll see you in the playoffs RLS!!!
