Any links to Man U – Man City aside from adthe? That one is not working too well on my Mac
De Guzman looks rusty. Galaxy looking good early on.
Hopefully we get another before halftime.
Anyone have any insight on Beckham’s goal? Gamecast made it sounds like it was pretty good…
9th minute- David Beckham scores to give LA a 1-0 lead. Assist from Birchall. DeGuzman gets to Beckham a touch late as Beckham scores from 15. Not DeGuzman’s fault though, it’s Guevara who appears to lose Beckham on the sequence. DeGuzman came running in from midfield to try and help. Nice layoff pass from Birchall on the goal.
82nd minute- Brad Davis his a freaking laser of a left-footed blast to give Houston a 3-2 lead. Dynamo pouring on the attack as RSL fades. Brian Ching gets a red card just seconds after the Davis goal for a tackle on Javier Morales, who he’d been going at it with for a while. Now it’s 10 on 10.
Fantastic goal by Brad Davis . . . and then a red card to Ching.
Landin is coming along. He’s still not at a full 90 level and sometimes tries to get a little too cute with the ball. But you can see the vision and quality. Once everyone gets used to things, I think things will click well.
61st minute- Movsisyan scores tie make it Real Salt Lake 2, Houston 2. Nice comeback a man down, but it’s far from over.
How has Landin been?
@madmax
It’s not the same ref. I can’t recall his name, but it’s different. This one is known for pulling red fast.
None of the cards shown this game have been a surprise really.
Thoughts at halftime: RSL are out hussling the Dynamo tho down a man. The Dynamo goals were as much about sloppy defending as anything. RSL’s was off nice build up. It won’t make a highlight reel because Landin couldn’t do much with it, but Holden sent a great ball bending past the RSL cb’s – something clicked and his game has gone to another level during Gold Cup.
Terrible direct red card on RSL Olave, fierce tackle that got ball, but follow through, without studs up, deserved only yellow.
I think the official is the Blanco autograph seeker.
(SBI-The trailing leg was rough, so it’s at least a yellow, and when you’re as big as Olave, it’s easy to get called for that. And no, the ref isn’t Jair Marrufo, but Baldomero Toledo.)
32nd minute- Straight red card for Jamison Olave (vs. Houston again). Not sure it was a straight red, but Olave’s too big and too slow to come in late on sliding tackles.
