The Morning After . . .

By: Dave Martinez | July 23rd, 2007

So, we wake up this morning, grab our cups of coffee, stumble to the bathrooms to relieve ourselves of the gallons of beer and tubs of chicken wings we devoured while watching Becks, Cuat, and our beloved RED BULLS ROLL – and to our delight, this is what we see -

RBNY – FIRST PLACE – AT THE HALF!

Well, sorta . . . .

W L T PTS
New England 7 3 6 27
New York 8 6 3 27
Kansas City 7 5 5 26
Columbus 6 5 7 25
D.C. United 7 6 3 24
Toronto FC 5 8 4 19
Chicago 4 8 4 16

With a makeshift D, and wingers that are streaky like a college school boy, somehow, we find ourselves, at the half, in this position of POWER. I dont want to comment much more on that, since I am an experienced Metro fan and can only expect the worst MIGHT be looming somewhere . . .

SPECIAL THANKS

Jon Conway and Wolyniec. Our unsung heros

PLAYER OF THE MATCH

Joe Vide. What a job he did filling in.

The GOAT(s)

Our midfield. Where has Dane Richards gone? Where did those powerful runs go? Has he taken a page from the Eddie Johnson I-will-advance-to-the-mouth-of-the-goal-only-to-inexplicabely-stop-hold-and-lose-the-ball playbook? Reyna was rightfully taken out after a consistent, but overall slow game. Better than prior weeks – not good enough for NY.

What did you guys think of the game? Let us know!
