Some Soccer News for Mon Mar 6, 2012

STARTERS

Am I wrong or did I hear a Houston player yell "faggot" at someone on the field during their game against Seattle on Friday night? I hope that did not happen. But I am pretty sure it did, and if it did there better be repercussions on the moron who did it.
-Jose Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports that it was Colin Clark who yelled that offensive slur at one of the sideline ball crew.
-Clark sent out apologies via Twitter.

dN

Seattle will be opening their entire stadium (65,000) this season for games against rivals Portland & Vancouver, also against LA, and for a friendly with Chelsea.

USA U23/OLYMPIC TEAM

Olympic qualifying is under way!

dN

Juan Agudelo tore the meniscus in his knee and will be out approx 4 months. Exactly what this team did not need with such a small roster.

Great win for Canada on Saturday night.

The USA must win on Monday night to advance. The only way a tie will be good enough is if Canada loses to Cuba in the first game.

A lifeless performance by the USA on Saturday let Canada grow in confidence then dictate the pace in the second half and finally get two well deserved goals.

Overconfidence rose up its cliched head and bit the USA right in the face. They were fairly gutless for the entire 90 minutes. And goal keeper Bill Hamid was particularly awful on the first goal. The entire defense went to sleep on goal 2, but give Canada credit for that second one too cuz they wanted it!

You have to imagine that the friendly win over Mexico last month added to the overconfidence of this USA team.

If they can't be El Salvador tonight then they are really a pathetic group.

John Molinaro of Sports Net calls this win by Canada one of the biggest in the countries soccer history. He really wrote that.

One thing that has been driving me insane since Jurgen Klinsmann took over as head coach of the Men's program is this insistent talk of "STYLE." Who cares! How about winning! Win first, worry about how it looks later. The USA is in no position quality wise to be spending 1 minute worrying about how they look doing it. Just get the job done!

US Soccer gives us a preview of the 3rd group stage game, against El Salvador.

MLS MATCH NOTES

Ejections:
-Jeb Brovsky - Montreal - red card

Average Attendance this round: 20,396

A goal was given to Seattle's David Estrada but his shot was off target and deflected off Houston's Geoff Cameron, so it should be scored as an own goal.

Rafa Marquez of New York was very lucky to not get his second yellow card, which he nicely earned with rugby tackle.

Thierry Henry gave all the credit for New York's quality performance to Wilman Conde.
-All long time MLS watcher know that when he is healthy Conde is very good.

George John started for the first time this season for FCD.

Nick Rimando v Dan Kennedy is a great goalkeeper duel on paper, but neither had much to do until late when Rimando coughs one up and loses the game, and Kennedy makes a huge lunging save to save it for his team!

TFC rested Danny Koevermans but played the rest of the regulars as they got blown out at home by San Jose. Does not bode well for their Champions League form.
-The Toronto defense is again a complete shambles! two games played and six goals allowed. And they were lucky Wondo only got 2 against them and didn't have 3 or 4 goals, as he blew open chances.

Whats the deal with the Ghouls in the stands in Columbus????? Creepy!



























Goals to watch and live by:


-Ricardo Villar of Dallas with a deft free kick goal, but KC made it way too easy, the keeper gave him 2/3s of the goal.
-Dominic Oduro leaps and twists to smash home a header for Chicago.
-Driving, slashing powerful header by Omar Vargas of Columbus.
-Chris Tierney of New England with a great long cross and Saer Sene using his head to tip the ball over Portland's keeper for the only goal just 28 seconds into the match to boot!
-And the best for last, how many times have you seen Thierry Henry and ONLY Theirry Henry pull off both of these two stunts: First stealing a weak defensive pass and punking a centerback and keeper; and then blasting behind a back four off a perfect pass from Wilman Conde! Just gorgeous!

While Colin Clark's in the heat of the moment "faggot" remark to a ball boy was unfortunate, I don't know why you feel it warrants punishment. I don't believe Clark knows whether or not the ball boy is "gay," rather, I think it was just a heat of the moment incident by an intense player. Certainly, it's not "nice" to yell that to someone whether they are gay or not. Also, he has apologized, and sounded sincere. There are all sorts of things said on the field during the course of the game, as well as things said by fans. If the league were to "punish" everyone who said stuff like that, there would be an empty stadium.

to anonymous: If Colin Clark had called the young person a "fucking ni--er" you might be singing a different tune. And, whether you think it is right or not, culture at large is in the process of FINALLY identifying "fa--ot" as hate-speech. Your comment that it "should be left on the field" sounds a lot like Sepp Blatter regarding the Patrice Evra situation. And, it is backward thinking.
Some form of discipline is definitely warrented. Especially since he yelled it a KID for crying out loud. It is unprofessional, derogatory and unnecessary. If I were to use the same words Clark used at my job, I would be fired.
