MLS 2012 Season Thread II

Live in the Now · 11-08-2012, 08:54 PM

For after this game.

Chimaera · 11-08-2012, 08:58 PM

Hamid already on twitter saying that Cooper leaped. He certainly sold it, even if there was some contact.

IHaveNoCreativity · 11-08-2012, 09:06 PM

It looked like he grabbed his leg IMO.

Lets go Seattle !!!

Why is Zakuani on the bench he's one of our best players ?

Hopefully we can finally get past the hump....

Never won a playoff round !

Tonight's the night !

KingLB · 11-08-2012, 09:10 PM

Zak is still in the middle of coming back from his broken leg....

Anyways...hoping for a great game, these are 2 of my favorite teams in the league.

Glad DC moved on, now if they can beat Houston and one of these beat LA I'll be satisfied.

Oh and Hamid needs to stop getting called up and just become a better keeper over the next few years.

It's taken him the whole year to do so ?

He hardly ever plays...

I hope that Seattle wins !

Hamid has plenty of time, might get snatched up by a euro club though..

HajdukSplit · 11-08-2012, 09:18 PM

what a rough way for NYRB to go out but its nothing new for that franchise

they must be cursed or something

Broken leg for a soccer play is devastating...there is a good chance he is never "back".

If Hamid gets snatched by a Euro club he will never have a chance to develop his game and will rot on the bench for years before coming back. Guzan was much better prepared to go to Europe and he sat on the bench at Villa for a few years.

Okay, I'm not much of a soccer player, so bare with me here !

So he may have to retire if he doesn't take it slowly ? Is this good progress for him to be on the bench regularly ?

Does Guzan even start at Villa ?

KingLB · 11-08-2012, 10:47 PM

Wow was just gonna say how this match (and series) had let me down. That was a sick goal.

Also Guzan finally started to get the starts this year over Given.

Capitaine Gionta · 11-08-2012, 10:48 PM

First game was pretty good. GKs were amazing.

But man, that shot was a rocket.

Brock Anton · 11-08-2012, 11:19 PM

Stunned that Seattle won at Salt Lake.

Actually, I'm more stunned that Seattle didn't choke away the lead.

kingsboy11 · 11-09-2012, 12:29 AM

This should be a fun a series against seattle.

Also, was there something wrong with rosales tonight because I don't think he played tonight. Maybe just in case they went into extratime and he could be nice energetic for the extra 30 min?

Brock Anton · 11-09-2012, 12:38 AM

Rosales has a hamstring issue, he may not be fit in time for the 1st leg either.

At this point, it's going to be hard to bet against LA and Houston, I'm sensing an MLS Cup rematch.

IHaveNoCreativity · 11-09-2012, 08:57 AM

Hello Seattle !!!!!!

Lol what did he do to get fired ?

AdmiralsFan24 · 11-09-2012, 07:34 PM

It's not really a firing.

His contract expired. They chose not to give him another. He wasn't fired, just not brought back.

Rafa Nadal · 11-09-2012, 09:05 PM

Henry and Marquez' last season at NYRB?

I prefer the alternative view where he was fired...

Because technically it's what it is, but instead they are letting his contract run out.

Marquez probably. Not sure about Henry. And whoever thought getting marquez was a good idea should be fired. They should have known better.

Doubtful on Henry (he's still their main attraction), but Marquez should be sold to the highest Mexican bidder or traded to Chivas. I don't see a way that he comes back.

What has Marquez done ?
