Noonan in for BAMF in the 88th minute.
C'mon, Gs, make Omar your third DP already!

Very open game, Saunders saved the G's bacon a few times and the G's are up with 2 instead of it being a close game.
EDIT: and it's 3 points and I believe the 40 pts barrier, hopefully the recover well for the CCL match.
Enjoy Sunday night in LA

Not one for the ages, but it gets us to fourth place. Our next league game is Saturday against Vancouver; we'll want to win that one, too.
We're three points behind Seattle and Salt Lake, too.

We didn't pressure as hard as we did in Dallas, but they seemed content to sit and counter attack.
I don't think we played all that well in attack - with Landon out and Beckham playing deep midfield, Keane doesn't trust the other guys up front and tries to do too much.
I found the quotes from Bruce by the broadcasters really interesting, with Arena going into greater detail about the offseason loans, saying that Landon and Keane are out of gas. And Bruce has also openly said that Beckham is lacking fitness.
It's not like one needs a keen soccer mind to see these things, what's remarkable is that Bruce is saying them, the league's flagship broadcasters are repeating them.
And while we're at it, I really, really like what NBCSports have done this year, with the pre/post-game show, to the extra camera, to the announcers.
And I like the three points.

This makes me think that, even if we end up with fourth or fifth place and a one-and-done playoff finish, I'd rather see Bruce brought back for another year: Institutional memory probably offers the only chance we don't keep making the same mistakes yet again.I found the quotes from Bruce by the broadcasters really interesting, with Arena going into greater detail about the offseason loans, saying that Landon and Keane are out of gas.

That was how I thought we'd come out again, but we just sort of played at "normal" speed.
...ooooh ooooooooh we are the riot squad...

I like it when we win.
"Barely Legal" was impressive for the time he was playing, plus he got his first MLS assist. I like the kid. I'd like to see him play more.
AJ was MAGNIFICENT. Best defending I've seen from anybody all year. Nice of him to come over and say hi, too.
Ju-Juninho, Ju-Ju-Juninho. He really put his foot through the ball on his goal. It's good to have this version of Juninho back.
What in the fuckity fuck was with Robbie storming off the field after the final whistle? He just couldn't wait to get off and get in.

every time you start to get frustrated with Saunders, he comes up with a couple of those "oh thank you Saunders" moments.
have you hugged a CSC Security Guard today?

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.

Yay. I like winning again. Keep doing that. I was buying diapers at Target but caught the second half.
Todd is my front runner for POTY, for reasons that don't matter just yet. I realize AJ is buddies with Zero, so that is either a positive or negative factor in your voting. Becks... child please.
I want to take my son to MLS Cup (nope not here yet but close).
Winning rules!
