Oric, 4-0 if Onstad is in? Besides the obvious point that who knows what would have happened if he stay in, Why do the Dynamo get 4? Yes the injury was key, but Art had a 1v1 with the keeper, how much better could Onstad had done. Despite Caig’s struggles early he did make a few key saves late in the match, not that Onstad couldn’t have made them. I think Onstad COULD have saved at least 2 of the goals and COULD have gotten lucky on Art’s but again, who knows.

Also, I don’t mean to take it out on you specifically Oric bc a lot of people do this, but why do some of the people commenting on 3rd degree articles feel the need to be such. . . Jerks (to use a clean word). I don’t know John Carlton or any of the other writers on this site, but i do know that they do this for free, and bc they enjoy soccer. it is annoying to read so many people trashing the writer bc they disagree with the author, or bc the author was wrong on a detail, or bc the author forgot/missed some point (or didn’t miss it in this case).

Oric, i don’t know you, or if you have ever posted here before, i am just venting my opinion. I guess you caught me on a bad day. But i do get tired of people acting like they know everything about soccer. I have no prob with people disagreeing with the information in the article and having their own opinion (it is what comments are for, and it is always interesting to see contrasting opinions) but there is no need be an a- hole about it.

Last question above should read: “While you’re prognosticating, what would the score have been if disaster Abbey had called Ching for taking Sala out of the play on the first goal?”

Oric, see paragraph 4: “Moments later at the other end Dynamo keeper Pat Onstad went down hard on his shoulder and had to come out of the game.”

Also, assuming Dallas doesn’t score against Onstad, how do you conclude that Houston would have scored 4 with Ostad on the pitch?

The key play of the game was Onstad’s injury yet you apparently missed it. This game goes to Houston 4-0 w/o thay play but you missed it.
