Problem I see with him is that he holds on to the ball way too long, he could've had the speed to place it on his left foot and get a shot on goal.<BR/><BR/>Cunningham should've been subbed in since the 80th minute, not when the game was essentially decided.<BR/><BR/>Laurent Robert is going to be an MLS All Star (okay, not saying much, but book it). Wonderful free kick.<BR/><BR/>Bob Lenarduzzi was okay...I wish he would shut up about his playing days eons ago. Nigel Reed was solid as always and CBC makes me jealous of Canadians that they have this kind of quality.<BR/><BR/>Next victim: Kansas City.TJXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386844671773218074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647643771369878970.post-75234434525497790742008-04-19T20:21:00.000-04:002008-04-19T20:21:00.000-04:00There's no substitute for quality, said Nigel (ref...There's no substitute for quality, said Nigel (referring to Lauren Robert's crossing). And there's a fluency to our midfield play that simply was not there last year. Guevara is wonderful, some of the passes he makes . . . we saw none of that quality last year. But we really need a defender to work with Marshall in the center (Tebily?). Velez cannot deal with MLS caliber forwards.redTedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237624366747482206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647643771369878970.post-13360760693608670762008-04-19T19:36:00.000-04:002008-04-19T19:36:00.000-04:00Nice post, and good on ya for going live from the ...Nice post, and good on ya for going live from the Brazen Head. We went to Rhino after the match. I don't think there was a pub in a 5 mile radius that wasn't covered with a sea of red.<BR/><BR/>Next week, let's do all this again!Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06648754905245817672noreply@blogger.com
