Chad Barrett is like CNN. You start to rely on him every day and then one day you realize what you’re missing when he fails to deliver in the clutch.
a zip-zip tie with one goal is a one goal win…or one goal loss.
Chad Barret is awful.
Match was a zip-zip tie– plus— a dumb Keeper error gift goal to KC. That gaff may well come back to haunt the Fire.
this sucks, oh well thanks for the updates guys
FINAL- Wizards 1, Fire 0
terrible. Barrett cost us a point. GREAT.
94th minute- HARTMAN SAVES. Chicago’s last chance is stopped.
people can stop talking about Barrett being a competent professional footballer any time now. He sucks.
91st minute- Four minutes of stoppage time.
Blanco with another unforced turnover. He’s lost a bit of focus late.
89th minute- KC is bunkered in now and Chicago can’t find a way through.
Lopez out for Jonathon Leathers. Ives, wasn’t he one of your sleepers? That was actually an obscure list.
Sorry Kevin and others, between the Spanish commentary and booking a biz trip for 4 I’m missing some of the players involved.
89th min and Chicago don’t look like they’re in any hurry to score.
87th minute- Claudio Lopez comes out, in comes Jon Leathers.
83rd minute- Chicago still looking for an equalizer but nobody but Blanco seems capable of generating anything.
Mapp again takes the ball on the left wing and cuts into the center, but skies the shot. It’s a step forward for him today staying aggressive, but his adventures haven’t turned out so great overall.
whose header was it? who took the kick?
Fire with a dangerous free kick out side the box, it’s curled in and I can’t tell if Hartman got a hand to it, or if the header bounced out the wrong way
72nd minute- KC gets a ball in close but the shot is too soft to bother Busch.
68th minute- Blanco with a shot that misses just wide left. Chicago corner.
Wahl rattles the Fire post with a blast. It’s end to end right now.
I really like the way KC gets its defenders (esp Jewsbury and Myers) forwards without seeming over exposed at the back
Post saves Busch’s bacon!
