If they're not wiping out yellows at all it should at least be three to earn a suspension. A team that makes the final will play 7 games before the last leg. 2 yellows in 7 games is pretty reasonable and not at all worth a suspension.Quote:

Auro looks like a great find.
Hagglund is a great luxury to have against teams that try punting the long ball over the top. It seems like he wins at least 80% of aerial duels every game.
It was like they were waiting for their New England match to start.Quote:

It is quite exciting to think of their potential. Colorado in their preseason shape and missing some guys looked like a USL team to me. I am sure they will get better too when they get fully fit and get more guys in their lineup but I think the gap in talent was pretty apparent. I also found it funny that playing at altitude was one of their excuses for not doing as well. That is usually the visiting team's excuse. Looking forward to next week.
Also, what was the point of giving Hamilton 45 seconds in the game? Just time wasting ploy I guess. Not sure why. We had the game under control. Hamilton was not likely warmed up well enough after sitting out there all game and even in 45 sec of playing time he could have injured himself. I haven't questioned Vanney's subs for some time but I thought that was unnecessary.
They were feeling IcelandicQuote:

Dick's Sporting Goods Field elevation: ~1574m <- this ls the lower boundary of where you might see serious altitude effects
Really, Monterrey is no big deal for altitude.
yeah, Monterrey isn't Mexico City is it.Quote:

I know it is super easy to get overexcited with early wins...errr...win.
I'm hoping he plays with the same approach more often this season. He was dropping deep more often to combine with the midfield which gave him more success on the ball. I think he's less effective picking up long balls at centre and charging at the other team's backline.Quote:
