How does the crowd look?
Posted by: hoyanick | August 30, 2008 at 08:21 PM
uggg, i cant tell you how much i hate the MLSlive.tv announcers... they are incredibly biased towards the team they announce for... its quite silly
Lewis's kick (while on the ground) on Thompson, where Thompson returned the favor with a kick to the nuts... both yellows and the announcers were baffled why Lewis got the card...
and lets not forget they keep calling players by the wrong names when its obvious how poorly they are wrong... kind of like taladega nights where the guy goes into the crowd and claims the person he's interviewing is clearly not the celebrity he thinks...
BUT on good news, Revs are tied... hoping LA wins so NE drops the points... but ill accept 2 points dropped
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:27 PM
hoyanick - the crowd looks good.... if NE could get that crowd all the time i would think their home field adv. would DRASTICALLY improve....
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:28 PM
it appears it is asian-teeniebopper night at the razor....tickets sold are tickets sold though...we'll take it.

uggg, i hate it when players milk fouls...
vagenas (sp??) was fouled, but he spent so much time on the ground... he EASILY couldve gotten up and still pushed on... Smith waited 5 (or more) seconds and went to get the ball and finally the foul called... just get up and play the game :-/
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:46 PM
the announcer made an obvious yet correct statement, despite being heavily favored to LA.... he stated the eastern conference is stronger and will probably have 5 teams in the playoffs....
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:48 PM
revs defense sleeping, and landycakes makes a nice run through to receive a copy cat version of his first goal, except on his right this time...
LA UP!!!!
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:50 PM
eddie lewis with a beautiful thru-pass to landon. 2-1 la

Just read on ESPN Gametrack that there was a keeper change and Cronin is out for Wicks. Anyone have details???
Posted by: Mike | August 30, 2008 at 08:51 PM
16 goals for Donovan....
im hoping Cooper gets a brace to at least stay up top with him in the golden boot... not to mention they'd be against the Crew which id love to see drop points as well...
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:51 PM
cronin sprained/broke his pinky on the Twellman goal
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:52 PM
LA doing well to keep the Revs front runners out of the game.... kind of surprised, but i think LA's defense is keeping them in the game
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:52 PM
Thanks. I wonder if Wicks impresses if Cronin will ever get his job back?
Posted by: Mike | August 30, 2008 at 08:53 PM
beckham is starting to act like most superstars do by falling at the smallest of touches and holding his hands in the air when the foul doesnt go his way....
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:55 PM
wicks has only had to touch the ball once so far.... LA isnt allowing their backup to get much action
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:55 PM
vanny is falling into that milking type of player i was refering to earlier.... funny how they are always fine after a second of play (once they get up)
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:57 PM
lol, so it looks like vanney didnt like the idea that joseph didnt buy his "injury"
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 08:58 PM
twellman can make gold from Sh*t.... i dont understand why he cant perform for the national side....
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:01 PM
someone should tell vanney that its pointless to milk it when he's already been subbed off..
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:01 PM
well thats it for me now.... id much rather watch cooper play
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:04 PM
haha the announcers even mess up on LA's player names.... claimed it was buddle who got hit, but it was a defender XD
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:05 PM
good thing i didnt change yet.... joseph with some amazing touches to get open and puts it passed LA's backup... not a good look, but you cant really blame the guy...
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:06 PM
thompson with a chance but his own teammate Smith steals it from him....you've got to applaud smith for wanting to go to goal, but to steal from your own teammate??
while typing, thompson had a great chance but just puts it wide
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:10 PM
Hopefully with Twellman's recent form, come off season a PNE or another Euro based 1st division team will pick him up. Could be making three times he currently makes. Moving to Europe could even get him back into the national team fold.
Posted by: kevin | August 30, 2008 at 09:11 PM
well the dallas game is on, but mlslive.tv is thwarted by MLB extra innings?? wtf??
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:11 PM
kevin- i cant see many USMN fans actually liking what you just posted... outside a few games, the guy is a ghost on the team... altho thats not saying our current forwards are any better.... but im just hoping its not tightshirt who makes it from our MLS forwards ...
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:13 PM
switching to CLB v FCD...im out
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:16 PM
brett- you're probably right. But if EJ doesnt regain his form, you never know.
Posted by: kevin | August 30, 2008 at 09:16 PM
Hej. Off topic but what are our choices for strikers on the national team right now and WC2010. I note Altidore (though i dont see him playing a leading role in WC qualifiers), Kenny Cooper, EJ, Ching and Charlie Davies
Posted by: henrik | August 30, 2008 at 09:18 PM
kevin- anything is possible.... im getting tired of the same-ol forwards who lack that scoring touch....
Henrik- Jozy, LD, Dempsey(assuming he regains form), Adu, Cooper, Davies... what about Bernardo?? we still have a year and a half, altho i think thats ALOT to ask for a kid who has yet to make first team at Napoli, but if his growth is similar to his current growth, then its still a possiblity..
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:23 PM

Dempsey needs some rest and time to analyze himself and get back into the Fulham first team. Adu is great but best for attacking midfield, same with Dempsey.
Striking options? Kenny Cooper, EJ (needs to excell at Cardiff and gets his head together), Altidore, Davies. Not too many options i guess.
Brian Ching and Taylor Twellman are options but they'll be too old and best to live out their career in MLS.

I already hated new england but after embarrassing the MLS in CCL I really want LAG to win
Posted by: metrostar 4 life | August 30, 2008 at 09:33 PM
as a metro fan you shouldve wanted NE to lose just to gain ground in the east...
Posted by: brett | August 30, 2008 at 09:38 PM
yep that as well but i saw they tied =(
Posted by: metrostar 4 life | August 30, 2008 at 10:27 PM
just watched the highlights - that first goal by LD was a cracker (and w/ his left)
Posted by: golfstrom | August 31, 2008 at 10:37 AM
I am not Bob Bradley basher. On balance, I think he's been good. But games like yesterday's lead to the inevitable question:
DOES BOB BRADLEY WATCH MLS GAMES?
Why does he leave our best scorer - Landon Donovan - out on the right with more defensive responsibilities than offensive, to boot?
Posted by: Tony in Quakeland | August 31, 2008 at 02:32 PM
I thought it was a good game, despite some acting from players, including Hollywood Beckham. He did have a great pass to Donovan who blasted it past Reis on the breakaway.
I wish the Revolution stadium was always filled like that. It's unfortunate that it takes a celebrity to bring people to the games.
