RSL breaks through on road

Now it must become a habit rather than an occasional event.
That being said, Mathis played more like a mid-fielder than a forward (which is where he's best). Footspeed is still a problem for Beckerman and Morales, but with other player like Johnson, Beltran, and Wingert to make up the differenc RSL performed admirably on defense.
Rimando is the heart of the team, when he not 100% or not on the field the team dynamics dissolve. In my opinion he should be the captain!
Like SLoan, I will never change my overall feelings on Kreis.
However, last night I have nothing but kudos for a team that needed a must win.
The team came out more prepared, more confident. I enjoyed as a purist watching the ground laden through the middle of park football. Kreis did a great job of having this team come out with energy and hunger. A wonderful goal by someone who needed it. 2nd goal a bit of good fortune, but being attack minded a goal was deserved.
It was the worse game the Galaxy have played all season. The back 4 did a great job smothering Gordon and a clearly frustrated Buddle. Rimando looked good. I felt the article overexaggerated, he did not have to do that much after the first 10 minutes. A team win. I will give it for Real, and if they can do this in Houston against (i still think best in MLS) then will be much optimism. Mathis and Beckerman controlled the game. Good job to all.
Let's see similar effort/results vs. Houston and get some momentum going!
I have to admit that i'd been calling for the benching of yura, but boy has he come through. Part of my request though was to get espindola on the field, and I think he's shown tons of heart and intensity on that left flank, both attacking and tracking back.
Lets hope that with this formation and now the right guys on the field, along with the owner and coach publicly committed to attacking soccer, that these guys continue to crank out performances like this.
This was the biggest factor, RSL remember we need a number of wins in a row to climb the ranks. Good job on this one. Keep up the effort.
Anyone think however, Kreis is a great Coach would mean that Sloanie is an untouchable Phil Jackson like "ICON" like Arnie Red Auerbach.
Sure.
Keep it up RSL.
Todd I agree with your Kreis/Sloan comparison overall. But I do give credit to Kreis for changing formations to an attacking style. Something Sloan rarely does (starting CJ Miles ALL season despite low performance).
The 4-3-3 is WAY better and I hope they keep playing offensive soccer even on the road.
Could I get your phone number? I like any man that loves soccer as much as I do. Just write it in your next post.
Too bad US lost to Italy today, great comeback and ironic an American Rossi helps beat them with 2 goals.
Anything else?
