His Paperwork still hasn't cleared, I don't think he's even in Houston yet

i would prefer taylor over boswell

MOFFAT!!!!!!!! oh shit!!! lets hope that he doesnt end up like palmer and never making another one LOL
moffat has put more long shots on frame in a few games than palmer did in a season

Broadcast is saying about 35 yards.
Guessing the football lines aren’t that helpful at the moment.
There have been a lot of good goals this year. New York will be voting for Agudelo, White Caps have Hassli, Portland has one as well (i think it was Jewsbury) that I liked a lot (juggle and then shot). There are a couple more that I cannot remember at the moment and I know there are a few other goals just like Moffat’s goal so I doubt it is going to be a real contender for goal of the season, but for sure it is goal of the week.

Correction it was Darlington Nagbe who made the goal from Portland.

pretty strong tackle by palmer, what a dick head
thats why ching just gives him a dirty look then scores on them after clark nut megged palmer.
haha, fuck portland
it was clean
It was hard too, but he didn’t do anything dirty

I saw him do it plenty of times while he was still in houston. Usually he made worst fouls that got a yellow or a red.

i agree it was a clean tackle
just surprised how hard he went in when he def. didnt need to, especially considering his ex team mate (and captain) is the guy he went into
im sorry
I’m not going to get mad at a guy for a clean tackle. He’s probably a little amped up, just like moffat, but that’s expected. If he still played for Houston and half assed the tackle against a premier sticker and it led to a shot on goal I would crucify him.

indeed, but mr backpass thought he would save some energy and let the opposing opponents make the pass in that direction.

i think you can make a case that it worked iut for both teams
We upgraded our DM spot. They were able to improve their back four… which was a mess. I think we got the better player and less salary, but it wasn’t a completely one sided trade

palmer plays as a RB of LB for jamaica so they have definitely benefitted there.
he should have never been a CDM
I don’t know. Using palmer in their starting line up weakens their midfield quite a bit, just as the dynamo’s midfield was weakened while he was playing for them.
by Carl Morandi on Aug 14, 2011 8:46 PM CDT up reply actions
but he's not playing midfield for portlabd?
He’s playing his more natural, imo, rb spot…or am I misunderstanding your point
"If my hips had pockets, I wouldn't wear pants at all." @NotBurtReynolds
by papabear on Aug 14, 2011 9:01 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Also Palmer is a DM or RB
I misunderstand what you mean by weakened maybe since they’re both defensive positions. Palmer should have taken more shots this year. Moffat brought back what Palmer was doing last season.
However, I do agree with Chewy. A big improvement for them there.

haha, dude i still cant beleive his tackle on ching.
what an ass. moffat is much more effective than palmer ever was. he was more likely to see red than score a goal or even make 10 good tackles a game and get out without a yellow
i think that was the right call
damn close though
I don’t think so. Looks like the ball was all the over in the replays. The ball did not go out when cameron made the pass back in.

Though I do know my eyes and my feed are not that good, so I could be easily wrong
by Carl Morandi on Aug 14, 2011 8:54 PM CDT up reply actions
too close for me to say
I thought it was before the replay, but now I don’t know.
that was close
Ching should have made that a no doubter.
Just saw replay. I don’t think it was in. Needed better finish
"If my hips had pockets, I wouldn't wear pants at all." @NotBurtReynolds
by papabear on Aug 14, 2011 8:52 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
unbelievably close
Ching should have done a better job on that.
"I just copped me an all-things, a professional ball team
Tell me I ain't the illest hustler ya'll seen"
i agree
though costly looks like ching keeps takin his space haha
they need to work that shit out soon
Not surprising considering they have very similar styles in their play. Both would benefit from having a speedy forward running off of them.

Cameron seems to have massively improved in the last few games at the CAM position, Anyone else agree?
i give a lot of credit to moffat on that
He’s still not a natural in that spot though

by papabear on Aug 14, 2011 9:02 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I agree the addition of Moffat has helped him, but given the opportunity and not having to cover for Palmer seems to really show that he can at least play there to some degree versus being a total disaster. Not the ideal CAM, but he is showing the ability to play there to some degree.
by Carl Morandi on Aug 14, 2011 9:05 PM CDT up reply actions
that really might have been the best half of soccer all year
we moved the ball really well. played creatively. besides sketchy defense a few times i am really happy
we played damn good that Seattle game though
That and passing in a forward direction, staying on the field, holding the ball,and putting his shots on frame.
by Carl Morandi on Aug 14, 2011 9:09 PM CDT up reply actions
not having to constantly recover the ball is the reason cameron is doing well right now. however i think that camargo should still be given a shot there when his papers come in
either way he gives us depth at CM
Right now our only option for either central midfield spot is Watson

Dangit Portland scored. I missed what happened, Anyone mind explaining?
by Carl Morandi on Aug 14, 2011 9:22 PM CDT up reply actions
davis said he hasnt played much lately
With the heavy schedule good to rest him. Like to see another goal and get ching or Davis some rest

dom will probably pull ching
and put a midfielder in to park the bus later in the game too
I hope not, unless we have at least a 2 goal lead
by Carl Morandi on Aug 14, 2011 9:29 PM CDT up reply actions
If he plays RM instead of CAM then I'm a happy camper
let’s not forget he needs to know how to cross
Well he is currently playing there now. So we shall see.
by Carl Morandi on Aug 14, 2011 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions
watson played out wide quite a bit when he first got here

Guess I forgot that. Maybe I need to see a doctor.

boswell almost cost us another one

Bout time we start looking to replace boswell from the starting line up permanently? The past two seasons have been stuffed with mistakes from him leading to goals.
by Carl Morandi on Aug 14, 2011 9:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Who tried to do a bicycle kick to clear that? Cam Weaver? What the hell, try doing that on the other end you crack filled crazy man.
Good win!
Score could have been much higher, but 3 points is 3 points. Goals could have been scored by nearly everyone on the field including the subs (maybe save Taylor but he came in late).
Super happy!
