No changes for the Red Bulls at the half. I’m so sick of defending this team.
Once I heard he was starting for Tainio I knew RBNY had lost.
But let’s not forget how bad our back line has been.
And Backe…zero changes at the half?
And again, yada yada yada…
It would be a great opportunity to showcase the best the MLS has to offer…
Why isn’t one of MLS’ best, RSL, not playing in any friendlies?
All Rapids are hacks
Just leave him at the stadium
Necesito un gol en paraguay v. venezuela
Might as well and put in Albright ar Right back and try to put Solli in the Defensive mid or something?
Or they could just put Rooney as the other central mid. Or put in Hertzog and play 4-3-3, you’re already getting destroyed give the rookie a try with the starters!
+1
just saw the jerseys. Those are so much nicer than anything addidas makes
Please sub out Mehdi Ballouchy and just release him at halftime…for everyone’s sake. I can’t take watching him anymore.
i’ve noticed hes torn it up all year if thats what youre saying
tim ream is getting burnt by sanni nyassi…SANNI NYASSI!!! 3-0 rapids 1st half
They have had a blue and black shirt like every other year for a long time.
Are you kidding,referee gives a yellow for a dive and Thompsons celebration, but none for the Thompson tackle.
For whats its worth, the union really controlled the match against everton. kept possession and frustrated the prem boys. the end of the match was great, as zach pfeffer and two union academy players, along with mwanga and torres (i think both 20) created several chances with academy player hernandez (18) scoring the goal. everton played with a full squad to besides timmy howard.
Not even a yellow card for that tackle? I’m all for letting the guys play but that was ugly.
Wells Thompson with another Colorado cardable tackle
Did Wells Thompson learn how to be a hack from Mullan or the reverse?
Another awful jersey design by Nike…Man U in Inter Milan colors?
NY still in their two month slump
The keeper made the first save and there was a scramble and the young kid got the ball settled and blasted it home. He should have converted on the first shot but it was a nice save. Maybe Howard makes the second save, but I don’t think so.
It was on Comcast Sports Net here in Philadelphia. Umm…the entire team really looked good. Valdes played exceptional in the first half as did Williams. Christian Hernandez is some young kid they have. They brought in a bunch of youngsters down the stretch. They provided a lot of energy and did not look over matched. Okugo played well. Best player for the Union was probably Torres. He played great from start to finish. Mawanga made nice runs and got into the gaps. Had a couple half chances and a real good chance he should have put away.
Has anyone else noticed that Shea is generally a level above the competition when he plays anyone that isn’t Seattle, LA, or RSL?
Okay who is Christian Hernandez? lol
No joke or attempt at talking smack, not sure who that is???
Sweet, anyone responsible for containing Everton in particular? I’m guessing the Farfan brothers might have something to do with this?
What about Okugo did he do okay?
I’m guessing it’s only on a local Philly channel or he’s at the game.
Glad to hear Philly played well vs Everton, a usual top 10 or top 6 EPL team!
I know they didn’t have Tim Howard but it looks like they did good, I’ll wait to see the goal in highlights to see if Timmy could of done something to stop it or to organize his defense better to prepare for the play that created the goal
utter garbaggio
Any one know where i can find a live stream of the Red Bulls game online tonight?
anybody have a stream for any of the friendlies???
Man Shea has really improved this year. Hes earned himself an olympic call up.
what channel is this on?
He started and played the first half. Played decently. Just took the lead 1-0 on a Christian Hernandez goal….the Dutchman Heitinga just got a red for being a thug. And it’s over. The Union played great against a mostly first choice Everton squad.
The SKC and Philly games should have been picked up somewhere…this is ridiculous
Thanks Doc!
I was wondering about them, I like watching Philly, I think they are slowly becoming a GREAT team after having a 1st inaugural season in which had it not been for Seitz and the other keeper who was terrible, they might of made the playoffs to keep the tradition going with Seattle.
What about Jac Mac? He in the game yet? Or at all?
Dangit! Just can’t get past Reis… great kick save on a shot by DeRo. Slick ball from Najar to set up the shot.
Union did not start Mondragon, Ruiz, Le Teux, or Califf….did start Mawanga and Torres. They have been playing really well. 0-0 in the 70th minute, but Union have gotten the better of them so far.
“There’s a little bit of strut we haven’t seen in the Revs for three weeks” Why? because they put a cross into the DCU box and almost a header on goal. Who are these Revs announcers?
Anyone watching Philly vs Everton or Houston vs Bolton in their local markets? Or if you’re there, give as an idea as to the line ups for the MLS teams. I heard Houston was going to test out the Costa Rican and German who they had on trial.
Hope CJ Sapong and Bunbury get some goals tonight!
Also hope Roger Torres gets a run at midfield. I like him much better than Mapp who for some reason is playing on the right, I say put Torres on the left and if you much play Daniel put him on the right but I think Le Toux there with Mwanga and Ruiz up top takes the prize. Then Union has like 5 guys who can play central mid?
Yeah, too bad it wasn’t against either LA or RSL.
I had already composed my “#9 for #9” comment, too.
Ha ha. Divies biffs a PK! Karma is a beeyotch.
Reis saves a penalty kick by getting into Davies’ head. Man he skied it…
Ooh, and Davies pulls a Lloyd.
DCU looking sharp in the final third with nice interchange, and DeRo showing a great touch to separate and get shots off. Reis has made a couple of good saves – always seems to frustrate DCU.
Frings just had a great attempt on a free kick. Hartman blocked it out for a corner.
Anyone else watching NE and DC on Matchday Live? It seems like the picture quality is a lot worse than usual.
the only one that really matters is being broadcasting. But I agree with you, I so despertly wanted to see New York Flash V. MagicJack.
How short sided to not have these games broad casted just plain dumb.
Hi all,
does anybody know of a stream for the KC v. Newcastle game? Much obliged…
