a win is a win is a win. Wonder who sits tomorrow for Ruis? wouldn’t suprise at all if Cooper gets “rested”.

Pegasus you are a genius. Twellman gets good service and he can finish. KC couldnt beat Sala & Carr should have had 2 or 3 goals. Thank god we have Cooper. Improve the service & we will score even more.

The team kind of wanders around for large parts of the game but when they turn it on it is all out fury for a while and they seem to score during those spurts. Chicago and KC had a lot of possesion but until the last few minutes of each game it seemed fairly harmless. I guess it depends on the finishers. Twellman nails his chances while others flounder.

I agree with Frisco Fan on Nunez. He has talent, but he needs to learn how to let the game come to him.

Hank is the same guy who predicted Shaka would keep his starting position when Sala’s suspension was over, so he’s not infalable. Then again, the Fire had 80 percent of possession. Not exactly a sign of a midfield that held possession.

Fougs, another good report, thanks.
As for ESPN, I’m with Marco4…very happy we are getting national coverage.
Our first eleven years we were lucky to get half our away games televised…by anyone.

Twotone, you’re right. Tackles like Segares’ on Dax have caused many injuries. That was an easy yellow. Wasn’t it also Segares that made that awful scissors tackle on Moor from behind? When I saw it live that’s the one I thought would end poorly for FCD.

I agree that Nunez is the problem. He is NOT a #10. Case in point, Abe calmly holds the ball in the box and then lays off a beautiful pass to an onrushing Toja. Late in the second half, Ramon takes a nice feed to the right of the box, but instead of giving it to a wide open KC at the top of the box, he takes a shot from a bad angle. Side of the net…turnover. I swear that guy does not want anyone to score but him. I sure he never thought Tojo would score on the pass he made last game.

marco4 makes an excellent point! Although I didn’t see last night’s broadcast, so I can’ comment on it, I have thought that ESPN has generally done well with Thursday Night Futbol. But IMO, Fox Soccer Channel’s Saturday broadcasts are excellent, with the pre and post game shows. Very professional.

I’m so afraid from little Dax out there. I thought Gonzalo Segares was going to kick a hole into his leg on that studs-up, straight-legged challenge that the referee didnt even call a foul on.
