^ If Zlatan's keeper did that, he'd probably go punch him.

Caps continue to steal victories late in matches...

that goal should have just been credited to "David Ousted's save a minute earlier"

they are playing with the Corsi-gods so far this year.
boxscore shows 34% possession

bah. forgot my cardinal rule of always dropping a few vBucks on the draw as well in international soccer.
Netherlands couldn't beat Turkey, and Italy had to claw back for the draw against Bulgari

Probably should have had no points and walk away with three. Take the win, obviously, but that was a pretty piss poor performance, for the most part.

Oranje's been god awful under Guus. Reminds me a lot of 2000-2001 Netherlands that missed out on the World Cup under Van Gaal - talented players but a coach who can't figure out for the life of him how to get them to play together.

As for Italy, well, they're creating their own mess as usual:

Powerful performance from the Caps over the Galaxy tonight; 2-0. Make that 4 in a row.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Lol wait for it indeed

Lol wait for it indeed

I've watched this three times. WTF am I looking for lol

Yeak, I don't know what I should be looking for either. Is it the rather pensive look on the girl in the crowd?

Well, Caps tie the Crew Sluts to end a 4 game winning streak. I can't get too upset about a tie, but damn there were a few golden opportunities missed and the defense looked like Jay Demerit was the coordinator, coupled with some uncharacteristic bad goaltending. Bad break on the one goal when Tiebert pulled up lame.

they probably should have drew Orlando and drew (or lost) to the Timbers so i guess it all evens out

Kah was our version of Kah Kah last night ... hopefully Diego Rodriguez isnt out too long

refreshing effort from mattocks ... he actually worked all game for a change
