Denial of a goal scoring opportunity
If Auro was picked up as depth, Im excited to see what GVW can do in the MLS
It is actually denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity. The difference may seem trivial but it is important. For example, the Giovinco foul denied a goal scoring opportunity but not an obvious goal scoring opportunity, hence no red.
So Moor has replaced Delgado as the new scapegoat for the season?
Spencer still in the lead I'd think - but it was Hamilton up to replace Jozy when Altidore went off puking so maybe things have changed.
Any way to watch the games online afterwards? Living in the UK I just can't stay up for midweek games most of the time.
I lived in Rugby for a year and would constantly walk past the statue of William Web Ellis on my way to work. I also visited the rugby ball manufacturer (basically someone's house, but apparently they made the only "official balls". But they were probably just trying to impress me. I did purchase a ball from them).
Couldn't agree more.
Rugby tackles in soccer should be straight reds.
It's just completely against the spirit of the rules of the game.
Do you really want to see two handed arm grab/tackles as players are blowing past other players and to get off on some bullshit DOGSO technicality?
What if a player made that sort of tackle in the midfield to break up a promising play? What if five or six of them did it in the same game to disrupt flow? What if a team strategized to do so deliberately through the course of a season knowing that 5 yellows equals a red and then back to normal for the rest of the season (for that player)?
We'd be encouraging a new game in which each team had a 5-8 tackle at your discretion game. We'd be encouraging "soccer/rugby" .... soccerby if you will.
PLEASE. Anyone out there. Show me an example in a soccer match where a player made a full on Rugby tackle against another player.
He made an attempt at the ball... failed miserably, then got left in the dust only to "redeem" himself by two arm tackling Giovinco as he was going by him... Looks like he fell on top of Giovinco too! Please what the fuck is that if not a red card? What sport are we watching here?
Do MLS teams now get 10 free Rugby tackles on Giovinco per game (with a yellow of course) anywhere in the park except on a obvious goal scoring opportunity?
Osorio has been good, Delgado was ok. I've seen a lot better from Delgado. I'm not sure who comes out; but if you have a healthy and in form Ager on the bench you better damn well start him after that pathetic performance Tuesday night. Your allowed those type of performances one in a while; but when you draw 0-0 vs Colorado at home; you need a bounce back game. Standards need to be at all time high with Tigres upon us.
