I have to agree with Matthew H., J.C… and not to add insult to injury but Schellas Hyndman and la gente at Al Dia do as well. There was an article today talking about how impressive that save was and how crucial it was for the outcome of the game. Schellas basically said it was the breaking point and that Dario had an exceptional game.

Otherwise, a great article. Look forward to hear what you have to say after the return of Arturito.

@ Matthew H.

That comment pains me, as I am a big supporter of Sala. I invite you to watch the highlights, though. This was the play that Emilio pulled his hammy on, with the left leg he used to spray the ball wide, which Sala easily collected.

Agree with James completely – we’ve been successful against struggling teams (I know, I know – can only play who’s in front of us). If this weren’t a home game, I’d say we were massive underdogs. As it stands, I am feeling like Debbie Downer and will predicu a 1-1 draw. Please let me be wrong!!

My concern is that we played a Chicago team that was flat and a DC team that had no legs.

Thursday we get a team that had been playing really well that just got punched in the nose and finds itself staring into no-playoff-abyss if they don’t win.

We’re going to get their best shot – hope we’re ready for it.

I really think MLS should have “Save Of The Week”. Sala would have won 2 or 3 weeks this season.

Thursday’s game is another must-win that our guys can’t take lightly. We don’t have a good Thursday night record as of late, Darren Huckerby has been looking like the class of MLS, and Arturo Alvarez will have more than a few reasons to pound us into the ground.

I think you’re being pretty insulting to Dario Sala, John. The 1 v 1 save he had vs. Emilio was fantastic and kept the score 1-0. If D.C. was allowed that opportunity the game could have been completely different. The D.C. United goalkeeper only had 1 save.
