I thought Sacha was mad because he wanted Veron to dribble into the corner to kill the game and NOT make a pass.  Regardless, I'm going to give Veron a pass.  Have you ever been better at your job than a fellow employee, but they got all the accolades (bonuses, promotions) because they were in with the boss?  That's basically what's happening to Veron right now.  He is better than Grella, but can't get into games until the 85th minute.  That's got to be super frustrating.  Can you blame the guy for trying to make something happen, maybe play a little selfish so he can prove himself.  Grella gets 60+ minutes a game.  Veron has to show something in about 20 minutes and sometimes, like last night, in 5.  And let's not make it out that Grella always sees the pass and doesn't play selfishly.  Plenty of times Grella goes to goal when there are better options.

Finish your chances Gonzalo like against Columbus

 

What did people think of SWP?

I thought he was less than I expected.  Maybe I just expect him to be Govinco like.  

However, SWP had good runs, passes and that out of nowhere cannon!

 

lol loved the wall with SWP and Lade!!!

 

Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

Both pk's he scored against Sean Johnson were hit with power and were pretty un-saveable. He would've been smarter to do that on the second shot considering he went cute with the first one.

The first one against sjohn was hit with power; the second one less so.  But you are right, he has blasted some.  More than not though he has finessed his PKs.  His conversion rate is good, so no complaints here.

I don't disagree.  I was yelling when he sent in the cross and didn't go into the corner.  Even if they had scored there I still would have that it was the wrong play.  He's been given so little game time though, I get that him trying to make a play to stand out.  Grella plays hard, has some nice 1v1 moves, and has finished well.  But he is slow and his pitch vision is below average.  If I was Veron I'd be pissed with how little an opportunity I've been given to help the team.

I really liked that song last night that goes when you were born you made my life so wonderful? Something like that, I had a hard time hearing the words but that one sounds like it will be awesome once everyone learns the words.

The BWP/SWP song is also a ton of fun.

Few things in this game are more frustrating to watch than pro's not correctly killing the clock.

You should watch the last 5 minutes of the Ireland-Germany game last night.  Ireland did a brilliant job of running to the corner, shielding and then kicking the ball off a Germany for another corner or throw-in.  The mannschaft were getting very frustrated.

Give some of the blame to BWP. He was begging Veron to pass. Veron was in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.
