1. Klinnsman was in Tijuana last night, do you supposed he was watching Arriola or did he just not get word that Orozco and Castillo weren’t dressing. Amando Moreno made his first appearance for Tijuana last night as well.

2. How does a professional referee give the red card to the wrong guy? Honestly, even MLSsoccer.com titled the video “Parkhurst incorrectly sent off”. You have the head referee and two ARs and you don’t get that right. How about a match ban for stupidity from the ref?

   • I truly support refs getting one game suspensions for terrible games. Checks and balances. Inspires better reffing IMO

     • Kudos to you DLOA for being up early for Sunderland and burning the midnight oil for the Sounders.

   • happened in epl last year, to arsenal, i think? i remember the guy who should’ve been sent off even telling the ref that it should’ve been him.

     • Is it another Snowclassico, heard Denver was getting a couple feet of snow this weekend?

     • Snow not as bad as predicted.

     • Yeah just saw the highlights looked miserable, but not like the Costa Rica game, lived in CO for 10 years it all depends which way the wind blows on how much snow you get.

     • “Fire the coach for playing jones at cam tho right guys? Right? ….guys?….”

       against brasil? hells yes.

   • He just assisted on a second goal, as well.

   • Silver did Tchani get hurt playing for Cameroon, he hasn’t started since the international break?

6. I turned on the last 10 minutes of the ManU game; how funny to watch them take it to the corner holding desperately on to that 1-0 lead against the last place team. Go for 4th place trophy Red Devils, there is still hope!

   • Yeah, it’s called th champions league, that 4th place trophy.

7. Big accomplishment for Yedlin fighting to win the right back spot, and consistently going 90 now in the middle of a ruthless relegation battle in the Premier League. I could not imagine a better learning experience for a young defender than this. I am so proud of this young man and his character. Part of what impresses me is how fast he’s adjusted to a completely different – austere and workmanlike- British culture to succeed there. He adapted culturally. The fancy hair is gone, he’s not the gregarious and flashy highlight reel he once was, because that’s not what his team needs to stay up. He did not let his spirit get broken when he was loaned out and was sitting on a bench at Sunderland – who are so often blasted and made fun of on boards like these. He perservered and rose up when Big Sam challenged him to be a man and play like a veteran if he wanted the right back spot in a relegation battle.

   Remember he’s still just 22 years old. He wasn’t a part of youth national team set ups. He came up from a working class background outside of Seattle, and broke through when he got a chance with the Sounders academy teams. AWRTB. This is a great story.

   • Well said. Yedlin really has accomplished quite a bit this season.

     • Lets Just hope Klinsmann doesn’t play Chandler in front of him.

   • what is AWRTB?

     • Actually, while relative to bacon? **shrugs**

     • google only says “a woman rides the beast”, which–although it’s extremely metal–doesn’t really seem relevant.

     • OK it should have been ARTB for Always Remember The Beginning, which DeAndre has up on his Twitter

8. Btw, still, SUNDERLAND…….L…….O……..L…………..

10. Le Havre is struggling to compete with Nancy this half. 3-1 now

    Reply

    • Red Star lost and Lens won, so if this result holds, it’s 3-way tie for 3rd on points, with Lens ahead on goal differential I think.

      Reply

      • Metz is actually in 3rd spot now, one point ahead of HAC, Red Star and Lens. Yes Lens will be officially in 4th place on goal diff.

      • Now it is an uphill battle for them to gain promotion. This was a huge game, and for the second half weren’t nearly at the level of Nancy, who came out flying. On the plus side, their remaining 4 matches are against teams no better than 8th in the table.

      • Concorde, you are definitely right on both fronts: (1) it was a big game and (2) it will be an uphill battle. That being said, I think Le Havre have reason for a lot of hope.

        1) Metz is in 3rd by one point (56 to 55 for Havre). However, they have a brutal schedule and WILL drop points. 3 of their last 4 games are against the number 2 (Dijon), 4 (Lens) & 6 (Red Star).

        2) Of the 3 teams tied at 55points, but sitting at 4,5,6 on goal difference, Le Havre is only 1 goal behind Lens and 3 ahead of Red Star. They also have the weakest homestretch. Only Lens’ schedule comes close, but they have to play Metz last.

        It is definitely out of their hands, but they are 1 point behind in both points and goal difference.

11. halftime assessment of yedlin, in case i tap out before fulltime:

    seems to be overmatched in general. he’s been beaten in the air almost every time, gets caught out of position too many times, hasn’t been able to get forward at all, but his one-on-one defending and passing are pretty solid. norwich seems to be targeting him and van aanholt.

    • Yea Yedlin hasn’t had a big impact on today’s match but he’s definitely had his moments on the season. Club fans seem to appreciate him. Haven’t seen the same criticism I saw for billy jones when he played RB so that’s good.

      As for them as a whole, they have the talent now so when they can put it together for for those ha want to say ” just do that all game!” lol but yea. Always a tough watch. Yet they’re now up 2-0 ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAIIIIINNNNNEDDDDD?!?! 🙂

      • Ya* want to say

12. Yedlin gets pushed out of bounds, scary moment as he slides thru mud into the LED Ad board head first. He was fine but benches cleared. Big Sam out there pushin players lol. He’s a large man

13. first time watching sunderland in a while…they really need to get relegated. somebody just needs to put them out of their misery.

    • and now 1-0 up on norwich due to a borini penalty.

      Reply

    • lol welcome back my friend, welcome back. Not much has changed.

      Realistically, big Sam has kept the best of the prior talent and brought in the rest of the team so they have quite a different looking team and generally they show flashes of good build up…. Flashes…..

      • well, not yet today at least. i think allardyce was a good choice to try to keep them up, just think they’re only postponing the inevitable from year to year.
