Good riddance to “One less MLS fan” Gilly73.
The only access one has to the thoughts of another is through language. I didn’t claim to know what you wanted to say, merely what you did say. The only idiot I see is the one who can’t communicate clearly and then gets angry at others for their failures.
In Kinnear we trust….
Silent e can hear my thoughts all the way through the internets! He even knew what I wanted to say before I said it, because apparently I didn’t say it right! Even though I did!
Idiots aside, how about those refs today?
The Dynamo have made the Quakes look silly with the Weaver-Wondo trade and are in the process of doing the same to the NYRB with the Oduro trade. I can’t believe the amount of crap the guy took from internet coaches on this site and from Ives himself. Dom’s given him a chance to play in Houston and I can assure you everyone is loving what they see after just a handful of games. Set up a goal yesterday and could have set up another. Perhaps it’s because the player is now in a stable organization with a F.O. that knows what they’re doing as well as a coach and team that are actually a cohesive unit. I can’t believe folks still trade with Houston, seriously. If Houston comes calling, I’d suggest the other team hold onto the player and see if they can make it work or trade him to any other team but Houston because Kinnear will make the team and coach doing the trading look very very stupid.
Just happy with a win at this point, with this many chances per game, once they find their groove, its smooth sailing.
Go Sounders
Seattle was just in need of 3 point.. a conservative win. SJ had about three yellows that woulda been Seattle Reds
I have decided to leave South Africa and helping my wounded brothers in the city of Los Angeles.
