They came out of the road leg tied up so you can't complain. I thought Mullan and Davis we're both sub par outside....Mullan especially had some silly turnovers. Oduro's best used as a sub late in the game when the defense's back line is tired. My first thought when I saw Landin is that he looks a little thick in the middle and not in a good way. You can see he's definitely got some skills, but he needs to get in shape. I was reall excited when they signed him because they made such a big deal about it....then I went to Mexico on business the next week, and most of the people didn't know he was. The one's who did didn't give very glowing reviews.

Both keepers were wonderful last night. I do wonder what kind of exrta curricular activity was going on before the Onstad/Montero scuffle. I saw Montero grabbing him, but I expect something had to have had happened for Onstad to lose his cool like that. Onstad should know better, but Montero acted as if he had been shot from what was strong, but not a ridiculously hard bump. Of course Motero does that every time he's touched. Ljungberg is now on my list as well. He annoyed me last time we played them as well, but the only person who whines to the ref more the Ljungberg is Blanco. On one play late in the game he pushed/bodied up on a dynamo player from behind and knocked them down (not a foul in my book). When the same thing happened to him moments later he went straight to the ref and was still complaining when he should have been going to set up for a corner.

It was a very physical game, and for the most part I didn't have a problem with the calls the ref made...although he was a little inconsistent with the way some things were called. I do think he screwed us over out of couple of dangerous free kicks from just outside the box.

We get a chance to win it at home, and put 08 to rest. The biggest thing is we get to rest. That will probably do this team more good than anything.
