Riley was at left back then he got subbed out in the second half. I think Eric Denton went in for him. You keep thinking Riley’s a winger… I believe Guerrero was at left mid with O’Brien on the right – but O’Brien seems to want to go into the middle all the time. Its a bit of a wierd situation that I think Corrales and Grabavoy are dealing with ok. Still needs work though.

Meh – everything needs work. Getting excited for the MLS season to start already?

It actually is a good sign – Angel is a superstar. How many of those will they encounter?

The Earthquakes have an excellent defensive feel to em. They have to considering their hair thin depth up top. But its a great thing for an expansion team to have.

Riley is on the wings now right?

Ha – I’m not ready to make that claim yet. I still think its going to be a rough first season for the expansion team. Angel is the first guy to really break the wall Cochrane/Garcia have going on for our backline. Thats not a good sign for us.

Oh Mel. The sun is shining in San Jose isnt it? Even at night . . .

MLS Cup, get ready for an Earthquake.

Hey – I’m finally watching the game right now…

So Angel is consistently cutting through the SJ defense but he doesn’t have a good strike partner right now. Your defense is meh. I dunno if its because it looks like Osorio is still trialing players (loads of subsitutions in the half). Anyhoo – clean up the back line and hope Bradley/Novak doesn’t keep calling up Jozy and you’ll be fine.

Smith, you made me chuckle. I gotta say it.

I am Mr. Half Glass Full, so your post is a welcome breathe of fresh air my friend.

Lets get the Crew come April . . .

Okay, as this is Easter, a day all about resurrection, here’s the positive spin. We aren’t really THIS bad because:

1) We’ll have Altiodore & Freeman back soon
2) We have 4 open Foreign spots that are going to be filled ASAP.
3) No team can really be this bad.

How’s that?

I know the feeling. Let’s call it “DC United 0 – 3 Richmond Kickers.”

Even for our reserve squad that’s pathetic. They’re, what, TWO LEVELS below us?

So trust me, man…I feel your pain. Only Barca 4-1 Valladolid is keeping me alive in light of the above PLUS Arsenal’s tragedy.

Hey Ken, welcome back.

And Happy Easter.

Ken . . . I am supposed to write up a season preview. But I CANT write up on what I have seen because I think I will be out of readers (depression = reading kryptonite).

Until there are some signings (or at least till about March 28th) I am not writing a thing. Something has to improve.

Ken, lets hang in there and hopefully, we will see some good.
