A Late Post Game

Sorry to be so delinquent on my duty of providing you with news you can get elsewhere with less journalistic integrity, no access and sass.

I will repeat the phrase used everywhere else, and numerous times throughout Sports Cliche history. Sometimes you win ugly, but you still win. That’s really the most apt way of describing what occurred on Sunday. The first half was 45 minutes of half chances, and frustrating missed opportunities. Nicole and I sat in the sun and baked in Section 127. At half, we decided to try different seats so we can pick our season seats for next year. We tried the quiet side, at about midfield, and I’m not sure how I feel. Nice to look at the Brava, but I kind of like being on that side too. We’ll see how that shakes out.
Enough about me, DC was a much better team in the second half, with crisper passes, and were getting all the bounces. Clyde Simms was the recipient of one lucky bounce, and Emilio got the other one.
But the man I voted for to be MOTM (and was) scored a BEAUTIFUL goal and was dominant the entire game. Gonzalo Martinez, best pickup of the offseason. The problem now is, where do we put him? We compromise the center when he gets to bomb up the wings, but he’s done so well at it, maybe it would easier to pick up another defender and let him do his thing?
Zach Wells. Please, stop. I’m sure you’re a nice guy, but you are a backup.
I’m not going to do ratings for the SJ game, because it was too long ago now, and I’d be guessing on some players.

I promise a big writeup for the next game, as I think there might be a few people there. I don’t know, I’ve heard some things.
