Seattle v Los Angeles : First Kick, etc...

[spinx]

... hopefully they are not full of goals

[Nuvinho]

don't you mean full of misses

[spinx]

honestly... I thought Barrett was finally finding form... I hope he scores 20 goals this year... all against the western conference teams obviously

[NBS]

That's just a feel-good avatar, love it.

I'm actually looking forward to this and the champions league fixture with Salt Lake tonight. MLS teams with some talent and flow; such an alien concept in Toronto.

Me too, he is on my fantasy team. :lol:

[boban]

[tfcleeds]

Anyone have a stream for this? atdhenet.tv link is showing the Columbus-Boston NHL game.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

he'll do alright, i suspect 10 at best, ill be amazed if OBW scores anyhting above 7.
Barretts got service working in his favor.

Yes, it most certainly does. Gotta say this for Seattle fans, they bring it.

[ExiledRed]

Seattle supporters have the luxury of a proper stadium and quality football to watch, but yes they are outstanding.

[tfcleeds]

Is JP Angel injured? Surprised Barrett is even starting.

[Pigfynn]

I think he'll start quite a bit. He only has MaGee to compete with and he's just a slower version of Barrett.

[ExiledRed]

hahaha did you see Beck's face when Barrett flubbed that cross?

[Pigfynn]

That open net miss just goes to show you ;)

[Pigfynn]

hahaha did you see Beck's face when Barrett flubbed that cross?

He made that face after Juninho over shot him

[Sopo]

hahaha did you see Beck's face when Barrett flubbed that cross?

I don't know which face is worse...

That face towards Barret, or when they showed Beckham's face after Green let that goal in against the states in the world cup haha

[Sweeper]

Did Barrett just steel the ball from his own player.....Landy Cakes?

[Suds]

bit like a ping-pong game at the moment

best site for sport streams

look for veetle type links, best quality!:scarf:

[Serb_Star]

They've both been pretty poor.

Barret won't score 20 goals, hes just not a good enough finisher for that.

[ExiledRed]

Iguess they still have turf, likely why barrett and OB White are starting.... expect becks to come off soon

[tfcleeds]

Interesting how the announcers have made mention more than once now of the expectations Seattle faces in year 3....and here we are in year 5. Just sayin. :noidea:

[ag futbol]

lol OBW is amazing

[jloome]

Not to be mercenary, but the only player I have involved tonight is Omar Gonzalez, in my espn team, so I'm all for chad scoring goals.

Ooh, OB White just blew a sitter.

[Pigfynn]

OB just looked confused when the ball came to him in the box

[flamehawk]

lol OBW screws up in front of net

[tfcleeds]

OBW flubs up...that makes me feel better :)

[Sweeper]

Ahhhh vintage Obrien White

[TFC/Everton]

both have sucked tonight

[jloome]

Nkufo could've scored TWICE on that chance and still had time to jog back to midfield.

[MartinUtd]

haha.. OBW caught spectating

[Mark TFC]

OBW shoulda had the first of the game, fumbled it away right in front of goal.

[ExiledRed]

jesus....

[Ron Manager]

Same old OB, same old Barrett.

[Lizzy]

I don't think he's playing

[smtavare]

Bahahahah lol O'Brian White just missed open net chance .... loser, also Barret did a horrible a cross to Beckam in the beginning of the game, who than gave him the stank eye haha!! (wow first day on the job and you already got stank eye from Beckham, niccceee!) :picard:

[TOBOR !]

Dunno where to put a thread on this - here looks as good as anywhere.

Los Angeles enjoying most of the possession. Barrett working hard, but still lacking any kind of touch in theside the opposition's 18.

Seattle just found out everything they need to know about O'Brian White. He looks like a defender out there.

0-0 in the 29th minute.

[ExiledRed]

no pressure...were rebuilding you know, its the 5+2 year plan

[TOBOR !]

Note on Beckham : He must be using new hair product - and too much of it. He's been scratching his head a lot - it must be distracting him as his passes and knock-ons have been rubbish.

you'd be scratching your head if you had Chad Barrett on your team and wondering how come he can't finish.

[jloome]

I don't think he's playing

I think you may be right. Toddy Dunivant seems to be playing in the middle.

Jeez, it's like TFC old home week out there. There are almost as many people on the field who hate Mo Johnston right now as in Toronto.

[ag futbol]

I don't think Chad Barrett hates Mo Johnston .. or at least his bank account doesn't

[TheKing7]

This is shite.

[NBS]

RSL up 1-0 on Saprissa

[Shakes McQueen]

I don't think Chad Barrett hates Mo Johnston .. or at least his bank account doesn't

Yep. Mo made Chad a well paid MLS player, and allowed him to become a consistent starter in the league.

Everyone else out there is a different story, haha.

[flamehawk]

OBW fires straight at Saunders

[smtavare]

OBW = epic fail!

[flamehawk]

Impressed with Friedberg. He almost scores but hits the sidenetting

[ag futbol]

Seattle might want to catch N'kufo while he's at the bus station

Been impressed with freiberg thus far ... other than that challenge

I was more entertained than I thought I would be with that half

[jloome]

Frenetic and high technique throughout, but absolutely zero finish around the box from either team.

[smtavare]

Thats becuz the finishing is coming from OBW or Barrett.

i.e. TFC STYLE FINISHING :D

[TOBOR !]

Half time : 0-0

LA with the better of the possession and look the better of the two teams, to be honest. No real strikes on goal from them though, other than Beckham's free kick just about on the stroke of halftime.

At the other end Josh Saunders has done well to keep a couple of dangerous shots out. Lucky for him Seattle has Obrian White as well as Freddy Montero, so he really only has half a job to do.

I can just see this game ending 1+1. A goal for LA to reward their overall dominance and hard work, and one for Seattle against the run of play - because they look bound to get one.

[KGH]

1st half impressions.

OB...awful. It should be 1-0 seattle if he had a left foot

CB...his lack of first touch is going to be exposed all year with the talent around him.

Beckham...his passing is off and he seams slow tonight but man what I'd give to have him taking our set plays this year. Damn!!

Other than that this game is a bit of a slow one.

[TorCanSoc]

Man those Seattle fans know how to rock a stadium. Wet miserable night, but they're in good spirits.

... and yeah Barrett's not doing much. Is it me or, does every game without TFC seem faster paced?

[TOBOR !]

http://redpatchboys.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=26995

I like my thread title better. *grumble*

[kaos197O]

This is shite.
Agreed. I think we could actually compete with either one of these teams based on tonight's performances thus far and they're supposed to be the best in the West!

Beckham has been horrible. Gave up the ball 8 times in a row before breaking his streak by making a crappy pass that was almost uncontrollable.

I hate Lalas and Twellman! STFU already!

LA looks like a decent MLS side. Beckham looks tired (noted by the commies), but with the efforts put in by Magee and Barrett it's hardly noticeable.

[Damien]

What a boring game...

[flamehawk]

Junino scores from outside the box..

LA 1 - 0 Seattle

Boooo

[dantdot]

Great hit. 1-0 LA

[ExiledRed]

see, now why is it that Dunivant had to go again?

[flatpicker]

It's no more boring than a lot of TFC games.
The crowd sounds fantastic.
Great goal for LA.

[flamehawk]

Alonso almost scores, what a goal that would've been, very hard strike

OBW does surprisingly well as a hold-up man

[kodiakTFC]

RSL scored. 2-0

[Pigfynn]

One thing is clear...TFC is not as good as either of these teams.

Not that we are that much worse than Seattle, but we are nowhere near LA

[ExiledRed]

Are the sounders fans actually singing 'can you hear LA sing?'

[ag futbol]

When Zakuani isn't involved Seattle doesn't really threaten.

[flamehawk]

OBW barely misses, glances far post

[Pigfynn]

As in like "We barely lost" ?

You can barely win and barely lose eh? Barely tie a little more arguable? lol



Barrett is off, Kirovsky on

[sully]

I wish Toronto could pass the ball around like these teams. We'll see Winter's impact, but based on last season they are both miles ahead...

[Pigfynn]

The point is, there is no barely.

[mastermixer]

You have to realize that a lot of these fans have grown up with college sports where this type of atmosphere is mandatory. That's why I think the atmosphere at BMO is that much more special, can't get that anywhere else in Canadian sports.

[ag futbol]

Well that's it, LA wins 1-0.

For my money neither of Barrett or OBW impressed. Looks like they are going to be second choices to Jaqua and Angel respectively.

And here was Harkes saying lots of upside to White.
If he only knew lol .... good riddance I say

[kodiakTFC]

RSL won 2-0. Rimando was stellar in net and barring an implosion it looks like RSL is headed to the Champions League finals.

Most of this game was just players playing triangles off one another; most of the passing was pretty pointless, and the goalmouth action came from long shots, crosses.

I didnt get to watch all the games, but these two teams are looking like playoff contenders. In the 20 minutes I got to watch.

Its sad to think that if TFC was successful our atmosphere would have remained the best in MLS. I fear it will be lacking with the poor play.

[TOBOR !]

YES ! My Thread Title Wins !!!

In Your Face, Barrett and O B White starting in MLS kickoff !

[ochos]

Anyone watch the highlights on MLSnet? I effing hate one of the announcers - clearly exemplifies the lack of footie IQ of people in the industry down south.

When Montero has 2 or 3 options to put in a killer through ball, he blasts from 30 yards. Nice shot, but the announcer proceeds to give him fellatio and rave about how 'that's what designated players are supposed to do'. Fake turf and all, I'd rather have players who want to link up and play good football.

I can't say I know the announcer's name, but I can't stand watching MLS games because of him. We need to start a campaign this year against this crap because it's what's holding US soccer back..

An announcer is what is holding the game back?!! :rolleyes:
Sure.

What else is a DP supposed to do but take cracks at the net. Montero is a striker. He is paid to score. If you don't shoot you don't score.
I don't think it was that terrible what he said.
