A Reserve game report? Ok. We won 1-nil off a really great Ibrahim goal.

Hey real-

Better $800k for 9 games than 4 years…my understanding of the contract means at least the team has an ejection handle to pull if they want to.

Looks like they learned something from Clarke’s mistake.

I hear ya Jaime. its just been so painfull to watch the last month. This team was playing some of the most beautiful soccer earlier this season. I DO believe that Carlos was jobbed against houston. He has played his butt off in the last few weeks. But he has had to do it alone up top. I don’t think this is a good time for Morrow to be tinkering with formation because its not working. But that why he’s coach and not me!

I hope they give NE hell tomorrow.

Hey B4Burn-

I try to be as objective as possible with these reports, understanding that I am a Dallas fan first. I fully said Houston deserved the win, and I was very critical of the second-half play of FCD.

I stand by my analysis that Dallas was the better team in the first half. I also stand by saying the referee was not good. Cai is right…think about how the dynamic changes if even one of those penalties got called.

That being said, and regular readers already know this, I am as worried about the team’s form as anyone. The good thing is Morrow is quite aware, too; he called the second-half performance “pathetic” on Sunday. All we can do is get behind the team for the run, and winning the Open Cup would be nice too.

Jamie, excellent article and analysis.
That ref did seem dreadful, but as you say, we certainly did not need any help losing that game.

Reserve fan, sorry about that. For various reasons I didn’t have anyone to cover the last two reserve games. For which I apologize. We’ll try to do better on that next year.

Thanks for he report. Your report confirms what I have been feeling since the game — that Dallas had an extra opponent in that game . . . the ref. It’s easy to say that, yeah, we lost because we didn’t score. But — what might have happened had those fouls against Carlos been called? I would imagine that the team might not have lost its fight in the second half had at least a couple of the correct calls been made. These guys are human, afterall . . . I really feel bad for Carlos, because the ending was just absurd.

Oh, well . . . I’m hoping that Carlos takes his “revenge” by playing his best against NE.

GO HOOPS!!!!!

Thanks for the report Jaime, but I don’t think you were fully watching the same game I saw. I saw a team that couldn’t complete a pass to save their life. I saw a team constantly getting dispossed. I saw players holding the ball and refusing to pass. I saw a defense ball watching. What happened to the play of this team from earlier this season? I am preparing for more embarrasment before this season is over.

God I hope I’m wrong.
