And those words are: Not the time to tinker.
Let me be clear at the beginning. I'm not a coach, I've never been a coach, and I don't have
access to the kinds and amounts of information an MLS coach has at his disposal, nor the skills to
interpret it. But, having said that, I just plain didn't understand Bruce Arena's
starting lineup yesterday.
Regarding what happened yesterday? I'm over it. Done. New day. Time to end suckers.
At least RSL and TFC lost last night. Thank god. The only bad part was having to listen to Glenn
Davis be a smarmy tool throughout the Houston game. As for Houston and Kinnear? That's a team
slowly dying inside:
A visibly frustrated Dominic Kinnear could be seen on the bench and the Dynamo
continued to make poor decisions on the ball, lacked movement and generally played
direct.
An absent David Beckham. An invisible Landon Donovan. A Galaxy loss.
The Galaxy went meekly down 2-0 to the Columbus Crew Saturday even though the co-MLS leaders
rested the likes of reigning MLS MVP Guillermo Barros Schelotto, former Galaxy striker Alejandro
Moreno and Rolling Hills Estates' Robbie Rogers ahead of Tuesday's CONCACAF Champions League game
against Costa Rica's Saprissa.
I don't think so. Last night they became the first MLS team to beat Deportivo Saprissa on the road
in the CONCACAF Champions League. It was a gutsy match where the Crew left 5 regulars at home -
Chad Marshall (injury), Eric Brunner (discipline), Alejandro Moreno (rest), Frank Hejduk (rest?),
Gina Padula (illness) - and Schelotto was parked on the bench.
So, no points in New England. It happens. Everyone got all excited when we went ahead, but when
you're relying on world class goals (and damn, that was amazing), you're going to come up
short.
As for the Revs, I can't see New England going very far in the playoffs, especially if Ralston's
badly injured.
On a stormy Saturday night in Columbus, 21,000 fans packed into Crew Stadium hoping to see one
of two things: 1) A Massive win extending an unbeaten streak to 24 games, or 2) David Beckham. I'm
not going to say who was in the majority, but I will tell you that only one of those groups got
what they come for.
