Yes DK, It seems to be a trend for Sala to start the season on fire and then to fall apart. The fire didn’t last so long this year.

I accidentally deleted a comment by DK… I managed to save the texts so here it is…

“I still don’t understand everyone’s love of Sala in goal. He stands there like the statue of liberty. This is the second game at PHP this season for me and I think I have seen one decent save out of the two games. For all four goals yesterday he was on the wrong foot, watching helplessly as the ball goes past him. Not that the defense was helping him much. But I just like a more mobile keeper. One that is involved in the play, not just watching.”

What good does a red card do? Now he is out for at least the game against RSL? He’s a jackass and a coward.

Anyone can make a dirty tackle. How about standing your ground and not letting them score.

twotone has a great point. The ref. actully went for his 2nd yellow on Pires when he saw the foul but as he ran up and saw it was the player he allready carded he moved his hand away from the pocket.

Serioux was too much of a punk to stay with it to the end and wanted a early shower. Stand up for the team when it’s still a game not when it’s over like he did.

I was so disappointed watching this game. The game was pretty wide open and fun, which doesnt usually happen when its 90 degrees around here. there were lots of chances and LA was the only team willing to put them away.

KCJ had 3-4 in the first 20 minutes that couldve changed the game. one passed the far post, one into the side netting while trying to shoot near post, one straight at the keeper from 5 yards, one into the wall, one the keeper saved from 45 yards. Woe is me who’s been asking for a major striker that can finish a chance for the last 2 years. i dont care who it is, i just want someone that doesnt have his nuts in his throat when looking at an open goal.

i want a referee that wont be afraid to send a player off that deserves to be. a second yellow to Pires is a match-changing decision and that was the definiiton of a professional foul against Oduro in the 2nd half. i guarantee you he got slammed in the post-game debrief for that. he wasnt afraid to give the foul on Abe in the 2nd (it was a foul that takes some balls to call against the home team taht early on). he wasnt afraid to show the red to Serioux (which was right in front of the FCD bench in a danger area for the entries game). he wasnt afraid to give a yellow to Rhine (the nicest guy on the field) 4 minutes after he came on the field. disappointing he didnt show Pires the second yellow there.

I’m glad Serioux stepped up and showed something. Every team needs that player or two that is gonna be a DAWG!!! the Mavs dont have one, the Stars got a few (Ott, Morrow, Ribeiro), the Cowboys had them (Nate, Erik Williams, Larry Allen, Teague, Ike Holt, Mike Irvin, Ken Norton, etc.) Gbad Gbandi was stupid with his. But Adrian is a DAWG that will stand up and do something to defend his turf. I need more from people on FCD to do show that this is important enough to fight for.

Or was the message, “Hey, Anthony Wallace, do you want to start the next three games?”
It was a stupid foul with no tactical reason behind it. Game was already lost, so it just made it look cheap. I’m all for getting stuck in and showing some passion, which FCD sadly needed yesterday, but that’s not the way to do it, especially when the game is essentially over. How about just winning the occasional 50/50 ball?

That message being peace out I’m getting an early shower?

Could Luke be onto something? Was there an effort made by some of the players to embarrass the coach and front office? This thing was such a joke that I kept expecting to hear the theme from Benny Hill piped in over the loud speakers as the game was in play.

I don’t think that Yahoo was attempting to injure Beckham, I think he was trying to send a message to his team and the fans and I appreciate that.

As much as I dislike selfish players, Alvarez gave a perfect ball to KCJ who shanked from 5 yards out into the side of the net. And that was minutes after Wallace put a Beckham-quality ball on his foot that he blasted into the keeper.

We should have been up 2 or 3-0 and the game went to crap for us from there.
