Which mat
That Arsenal v Liverpool match was boring, aside from the 8-10 minutes of stoppage time.
Who needs GL Tech when you’ve got karma… the world was rebalanced in the end.
What really would have sucked for Houston, is if the Revs had scored on the ensuing break-away…
Yeah. Definitely looked like it his Freeman’s arm/hand. Whatever though. The Dynamo got screwed earlier.
How bad was Matt Reis though? Guy has been having some Kasey Keller senior citizen moments every game this season. He dropped a couple balls today. One of them he couldn’t catch was Brad Davis’s shot and Soares had to save the rebound off of the line. The shot that was incorrectly ruled not over the line trickled right through his legs. And what the hell was he doing on the play ruled goal by Hunter Freeman? Why wouldn’t he jump and just knock it over the bar? He just watched the ball the whole time and didn’t do a damn thing.
8 players out there were playing against a team that had more than a week of rest. I think that was the biggest culprit.
And how sweet was that Bayern win..bitter sweet. Good to see them get back on track and play like the Bavarian Giants we all know and love. Auf gehts Bayern!
Wow, on the replay, Freeman actually hits the ball in with his arm. Shouldn’t have counted. Maybe some karmic justice for the earlier (non)goal…?
70’s porn stache that is.
Dynamo goal! Hunter Freeman boxes out Matt Reis, and the ball bounces in.
Ryan Cochrane on in the 78th minute for the Revs, sporting an impressive moustache LOL
PTFC’s Nagbe has a calm on the ball that is uncharacteristic for a kid his age. He was pounded on a few times by Dallas,, at first w/o calls, but then got some helpful free kicks in the FCDallas half. By now the MLS should know that Portland is a great team in the air and balanced with pace. Now they just need to solidify the D and maintain intensity.
