Doesn't seem like this is one of the usual Costa Rican teams that plays in this thing, but here they are.

 

If you're too broke/lazy/agoraphobic to go to the game, it's on something called "Fox Soccer Plus", apparently.

 

According to MLS' web site, the Carthage team includes G Emeritus Paolo Cardozo:

Well, this is cute - The cable I'm paying $$$$$$ for doesn't include fox soccer plus.  If anyone has a link for the game, I'd be much obliged.

Looks like it's up to me and my buddy Mr. Google to find a stream; this should end well.

 

Anyway, tonight's Gs:

 

Penedo; Franklin, Opare, Gonzalez, Dunivant; Stephens, Mastroeni, Sarvas, Rogers; Villarreal, Keane

 

Subs:  Rowe, De La Garza, Jimenez, Juninho, Donovan, Zardes, McBean

 

 

Zardes in for Rogers at 42 minutes.  The announcers think maybe Rogers has some sort of hamstring issue.

 

 

0-0 at halftime, dominating possession, couldn't do anything with opportunities, blah blah blah fricking blah.

 

 

Donovan in for Villarreal at 61 minutes.

 

 

KEANE finally breaks through 5 minutes after that, beautifully set up by Donovan.

 

 

Donovan steals the ball and sets up Keane again right before the end of stoppage time. 

 

The game ends 2-0.  So, not one for the ages, but on the whole a decent start to things. :cheers:

Landon was great in the second half.

 

I'm glad we won.

It's a little unsettling that we had to bring in Landon to get the victory. What happened to McBean? He was a goal machine against CONCACAF small frys last year, no? Wins a win, though.

I stopped paying for Fox Soccer Plus a long time ago. Good to see that Fox Soccer Channel showed a replay of a uefa champions league from a year ago instead.

 

Not having watched, we won 2-0. How did we look?

Generated a lot of chances, but didn't convert.  We were lacking in the final 3rd of the field.  Keane was trying to dribble the ball into goal, Rogers would hold the ball until three defenders were all around him, on the ground and then complain that he didn't get the foul called.  But on the bright side, Rogers was hurt and had to be subbed out in the 43rd minute.

 

If it wasn't for Landon, that game could have easily been 0-0.  Should have been 8-0 though.

This is the team motto, yes?
