more goals in LA
and Omar gets some good run too. slow and steady reintegration under control physically has some potential for the Galaxy. some nice tackles and positioning from the big guy tonight in his 20 late minutes, and I still believe his distribution is underrated including his long ball
So that the fans have an opportunity to applaud him
Estoooo se acaboooooó! Herculez with the winner!
Herculez! Goal in the 70th!
Herculez!
Herc just got a goal after several near misses earlier.
Timed run, good first touch, cool finish with the outside of his boot to slide it past the keeper.
Josh Gatt’s goal. Stabs this one in from close range.

Joseph-Claude Gyau also scored today for Hoffenheim in a friendly. Gyau appears to have made the first team. Today he came on in the 60th minute and scored in the 77th.

Word. And Danish league is in action too so hopefully we’ll have more ‘started’ entries. Curious to see if Davies gets match action and how Conor O’brien develops.
That’s a bit different because the ball was traveling away form the goal before it hit the keeper…
Dempsey was denied a goal after it hit the bar and went off the keeper and in.
GOL TV is the worst sports channel ever. Who cuts to ads during the 75th minute of a live match (missing the Newcastle goal in the process)?
Not even in to the full European seasons yet and I’m already excited for the Americans Abroad: Weekend Review. If anybody finds videos before then, please post.
I know Boyd stole the show this afternoon, but Joshua Gatt also scored for Molde in their 2-1 loss
2 goals, 1 assist on his debut.
Perhaps he has a break out season with 15-20 goals and suddenly he’s our NO 9
why do coaches always sub off a player if they’re on a hat trick? Is it to save them from injury or to give other players a chance to score or a defensive tactic?
If he shot it, it’s his goal.
Terrence Boyd FTW!!!
I wouldn’t be surprised. He’s not know for sticking around too long with any team.
Wow, Boyd with two goals and an assist. Will they definitely give the second one to him? Off the goalies foot, off the bar, and then spun in. Either way, what a start for Boyd.
I read in a game thread that he also got an assist. Solid Debut to say the least.
Freddy Adu played out of his mind vs Red Bulls last time around (until he got a red card). He’s not listed on the injury report, but he’s not in the 18 today. He also removed all Philadelphia Union related info from his Twitter page. Trade / transfer brewing?
Subbed off before he can get a hat trick. What a start.
Vienna fans already have an awesome song for Boyd.
Boyd scores again, and does a crazy athletic backflip.
Boyd apparently assisted on the third goal moments ago. So far, a goal and an assist for the young man.
boyd didn’t long to get his first. I predicted he was going to get 10-12 goals in his first season.
Boyd scores a beautiful poachers goal on a low cross into the box from the left wing. Boyd makes a near post run and beats his defender and the goalie.
and Boyd scores his first goal!!!!!!
Get it on!!!
FMF is great, better then MLS but not by much. Pachuca should be interestng
