The Gs first game since Donovan announced he'll be retiring at the end of the season.
Starters: Penedo; Gargan, Gonzalez, AJDLG, Rogers; Ishizaki, Sarvas, Juninho, Donovan; Keane, Zardes
Subs: Rowe, Dunivant, Meyer, Leonardo, Husidic, Jamieson IV, Hoffman
CRAP - 17 minutes in, with the Gs dominating possession, Wondolowski scores off a counterattack.
28 minutes in, ZARDES equalizes off a rebound!
And then a couple minutes later, they give up another counterattack goal by Perez Garcia. Fucking shit.
48 minutes in, OMAR heads in a corner!
Now, let's watch the fucking counter.
Husidic in for Sarvas at 79 minutes.
Jamieson in for Ishizaki at 81 minutes.
Hoffman in for Gargan at 88 minutes.
Bah, game ends 2-2. Keane had an apparent game winner in stoppage time called back for pulling an SJ player's shirt. On the other hand, I see a team where Zardes is a confident, eager finisher (sometimes even overly so, but that's better than too much hesitation), but no one else is. Gs outshoot the Smurfs 24-3 but can't get the win.
At Columbus next Saturday.
