What must Golden Arrows do to play a match for 90 minutes without the lights failing? Once
again, the Orlando Stadium's lights went out – this time only for a matter of minutes, but it
must put the players off their stride – and Arrows came down to the ground hard as they were
beaten by Chiefs 2 – 0 in the PSL clash.

At Half-time the Orlando Stadium was in the dark , then the the Lamontville Golden Arrows lit up

Zothwane and an own goal from unfortunate Ajax defender Deniss Ivanovs.

MAN OF THE MATCH: This was clearly a two-horse race. While Charlie Davies
did score the USA's lone goal, he failed to put away his golden opportunity to get the go-ahead
in the second half. Overall, a good performance, but we had to give the nod to Oguchi
Onyewu.

LANDON DONOVAN [MoM (2)]- Over the years, Landon has developed a reputation for
disappearing in important matches. He hasn't always seemed willing to take control of our
offense, distribute the ball, and run at the oppoing team. This was not the case in the
Confederations Cup.

Man of the Match: While we saw several good performances against Grenada Stuart
Holden, Freddy Adu, and Chad Marshall, to name a few Robbie Rogers was the clear
winner of this match's honor. He ran at the Grenadan defense, provided great service, set up two
goals, and scored one himself.

Another quick post to get the Man of the Match illustration project up to date..
Landon Donovan gets our man of the match honor for the Confederations Cup final
vs. Brazil. In the final, he did what he did all tournament he controlled the offense, scored
goals, ran at the opposition, and showed us all that he is, indeed, capable of playing at the top
level.

We're playing a little catchup with our Man of the Match project here...
There were a lot of great performances in the Spain match, but we're giving the nod to
Tim Howard. He made a number of great saves and held together a defence that held
Spain goalless.

This was a tough one. There were a number of players who could have gotten the nod, but we went
with Michael Bradley. Junior Bradley was a beast in midfield, scoring a goal
(which he also helped set up), putting another couple of shots on target, and winning balls in
midfield.

You know it's was a bad game when your goalkeeper allows three goals and is still the best
player on the field. Tim Howard may have been a bit questionable on the first
goal, but he made some great saves later in the match and kept the scoreline from getting too ugly.
Maybe we just didn't want to give the man of the match to a field player after such an ugly game,
but we do think Timmy is deserving.

We're going with Landon Donovan as our Man of the Match against Italy. This
might seem like the obvious choice since he was the only American...er, the only member of Team USA
to find the back of the net, but he really did much more than that yesterday. We often complain
that he disappears from games and doesn't impose his will on matches, but he dictated the
Americans' play yesterday, successfully created chances, drew a penalty fouls, and yes, converted
yet another spot kick.

So, if you can't already tell, I've pretty much spent 90% of my morning researching the new
chosen one, 17 year old Kiko Macheda. Thus far, I think the best thing I've heard was reported by
The Guardian.
"This young Italian, who has been at the club only 18 months, continues a tradition at Old
Trafford of placing great faith – not to mention the future of the club – at the feet of young
players.

So, in the wake of an abysmal performance by United, I am curious how you, the readers, felt
about the match. Let me know what you thought by taking the polls and leave your comments below.
Now I'm going to go cry in a corner... there will be no highlights posted tonight.
