Nyarko is definitely an under-the-radar kind of guy, could play a huge role on next year's team.

DC Keeper is down and doesn't look to be coming back into this game.

Part of the chemistry thing you are seeing Crys, is partially due to have a mid-season coaching season from Carlos de los Cobos to Frank Klopas, and Klopas instituted an entire new playing style and organization. The idea is to have more possession than the opponent, which has become the usual since Klopas took over, but I'm not sure the entire strategy has fully stepped in yet.

Okay, because I seriously wasn't trying to be so negative, but this spreading is terrible. At least play a safety runner to give the wings some options.

We should never have gotten rid of Puerari. :(

What are your guys' thoughts here at half-time? I know the Fire are frustrating you, but is the game entertaining for you?

Ya, no problem, I don't blame you, lol... I personally think we need to put a little more focus on scoring, it seems that all they focus on is possession and nothing else. It gets frustrating when we draw every damn game and are about to set a new record... you know that we're like 4th place in the loss column, but instead are 9th and last in the conference? It's very frustrating.

They just look so under-confidant on offense. On defense, a few guys seem to slip on coverage, but the vets pick up on that quick, which is nice to see.

If they stop bunching on the right side, and someone gets out there, and dizzies their defender a little... this is salvageable.

It has been interesting so far. I've only gotten to watch bits so far, but I saw the last ten minutes of the half and it was good.

Fortunately, we are generally stronger in the 2nd half, so maybe we can pull it off.

Looks like D.C. will be probably playing their backup goalie... hope the guy is alright, but right now I'm focused on winning and this helps us. Really hope their goalie isn't hurt too badly though.
