ARRRRRGGGG

By: Steve | May 18th, 2009

I have been too frustrated to follow up that last game with a post. It has taken me two days to calm down. Watching replays on FSN has not helped either. We should have walked away from that with 3 points and a blowout victory, but somehow managed a tie. I guess that is just the way that soccer works some times.

Yup, it was just like this…

Props to Dallas for stymieing us in the second half and doing a better job limiting our goal scoring opportunities. Andre Rocha is a great player and a guy I wouldn’t mind seeing in a Sounders jersey next year. However, his goal was obviously offside and that was a pathetic job by the line judge not to pick that one up.

Fredy Montero looked a lot more active in coming back for the ball, but still was taken out of the game as Dallas defenders keyed on him. I would think this would allow the goals to fall to Nate Jaqua more, but he just simply has not produced.

Watching Steve Zakuani destroy people from the left wing makes me wonder how teams would handle him and Montero paired at striker. They could not cheat on defense with those two up top. Furthermore, he spends half the came moving so far up the field he nearly becomes a full-blown forward.

Anyways, the string of draws must stop. We are a better offensive team than this.

If you need to, now is the time to vent….

  HE WAS NOT OFFSIDE
  repeated reviews of the play show Ianni/Seba (there is debate who it was exactly was) but a dude in is green running out to clear the lines but not in time, he kept rocha on side.

  The real issue is who was marking the guy? with that much space there was nobody even within spitting distance of the guy.

  I have no clue how anyone can call it offside or not. I didn’t see any angle that definitively proved either case so I don’t know. I’ll just trust the linesmen because he was at the correct angle. Professional games at fast pace though, even when you’re on the line it’s hard to tell in that split second when the ball is played.

  He was onside, but it doesn’t matter. It was a horrible clearance, Ianni kept him onside, and no one marked him Plus, SSFC should have put away a couple of their chances in the first half on the way to a blow out.

  I am not happy with Montero’s effort of late. He doesn’t seem to be on the same page with his teammates, and is trying to do too much on his own.

  They need to put chances away or nothing else will matter. This was a poor performance and don’t look now, Chicago and DC are tied with us, and four other teams are only a win away!
