Time wasting. He’s fine
When a team is desperate they will go into doing cheap shots
This looks like something from WW2 with the muddy fields and Riley stretchered off because he’s “wounded”.
I am of the same mind. Atleast he didnt give the cheap penalty.
This is pissing me off, and I hate Seattle.
Cheating El Salvadorans cheap shotting the Sounders players and injuring them.
And The crew I believe
Man not only are the Sounders getting screwed by the pitch, but the official is clearly biased against them.
RSL
If I’m correct, these games are to qualify for the group games. Are there any MLS teams that automatically qualified for the the group stages? Or for that matter do any teams, at all, qualify for the group stages automatically (based on their previous seasons results)?
The bad thing is that they are playing at this one because the other stadium is not up to standards….
The El Salvadorian team just subbed out what appeared to be a 50 year old indian dude…
Jesus Chicken Littles…the game isn’t over and you are complaining about MLS teams play and youth academies. WTF?
Wait fsc is not live? WTF
I don’t know about you guys, but this pitch is actually angering me.
How can CONCACAF allow such trash?
there’s some definite true to that though!
Major RSL respect for those Sounders fans with the sparklers. Incredible.
GOAL!!! EL FLACO!!!!!!
Woohoo, goal for Seattle!
The game day outfit of the metapan coach is classic…straight 80’s attire…Goal sounders…can MLS get to through?
Goolazo!
Used a bit of sarcasm…..
I cannot believe how horrible the Metapan pitch is.
This is ridiculous! That is not a pitch.
I’m told what they’re playing on is a pitch, but it looks more like the surface of the Moon if you ask me.
well then we’ll be a second tier league for a long time.
This is the worst professional field I’ve ever seen in my life.
Jesus, I cannot believe this is allowed! I would boycott the match.
What’s is the realistic state of MLS academies? How long till any of them are consistently producing potential first team talent?
Nope, they are just a waste of time and money…. :-p
obviously joining the match a little late…oy vey!
Can we expect any of the MLS academies to produce worthy talent at an acceptable rate (compared to the top mexican teams) any time in the near future?
Agreed!
Can you imagine an MLS team playing a Copa Libertadores final?
Me neither!
12th minute of the 2nd period haha
the field needs to be destroyed…and it’s only the 12th minute!
the pitch for the Sounders game is absolutely pathetic
And we aspire to beat the Mexican teams; in Mexico no less. It looks as if the MLS still has some growing to do before it will be competitive with the biggest North American clubs like Chivas, America, and Pachuca.
Hopefully, the new rules for the academies will give them scope to develop the talent they need. Chivas and Pachuca both do a great job developing talent and could be models for our own teams.
He is playing for Chivas, so that is very unlikely unless he decides to leave.
Playing on a poor field can really destroy a match for the team not used to it.
On a separate note. Wasn’t this game moved because the original stadium didn’t meet standards? What is that field an improvement on?
Good to see they corrected it. But I wonder how they accidentally posted that Meta-pan scored a second. How is MLSsoccer following the game?
Mlssoccer.com shows 1-0. What are you talking about.
The guy is young and good. Has he been called up for the youth USMNT?
I’m wondering why too. I’m watching Galavision and the first half just ended at 1-0 Metapan
There is an American-born in the field. Ponce was born in Sacramento.
Why is MLS saying that it’s 2-0 Metapan? I’ve been watching the a t d h e . n e t stream from 25 minutes on and it’s now half time and the score is 1 -0. Does MLS.com have a crystal ball or is the “live” stream actually at least 25 minutes behind. Or is mls.com wrong.
In other news Chivas Guadalajara up 2-0 on U de Chile in the Libertadores semifinal. U de Chile now need 3 goals to advance to the final. CONCACAF representing in the biggest club tournament outside Europe.
To be fair seattle is not taking this seriously as they are playing a half starter half reserve team. Too bad.
Guess I’m just used to UEFA.
0-1 Metapan….. Wow
No clue, but the Sounders recurrently getting out played by a team with a 500 lb midfielder……
Not surprising.
MLS teams lack the ability to move the ball up for that many shots.
