Rose City 8 - 9 CD Gunners
Results don't lie, even if the main MLS page does and Rose City dropped three points this week. This game is the new league record holder for most points scored (topping even some Majors Cup games). The Gunners, it must be said are either lucky or good to get a hattrick from the aging former Flyer Rosales as well as a brace from Tierney who's been on the team less than a week. Still, even in a gunshow like this, someone's likely to lose.
Big plays came from some important places however including a Giles Barnes brace and a keeper brace by Jaime Penedo. Eight points is better than every score by the Flyers all year barring Week Nine. It's a lot of energy (and looks good for the team in the long run) but sadly nets nothing (except and APG increase) this week. Look for things to get even tighter in the run to the end of the season.
In addition, pending league approval, the Flyers will be swapping teammates. Drop Raul Fernandez and pick up Jair BenÃtez.
While official results aren't out, and I could be wrong, but I believe you actually lost 9-7. Did you count/see Tierney's 2 shots on goal?
ReplyDeleteI actually did see Tierney's two SOGs (picked him up last week? What a lucksack!) but I missed one of Rosales's assists (they're inconsistently reported on the MLS site and the page I was looking at has him with just two). Looks like I missed one of my own guys somewhere too.
