Comments on: MLS Cup: 120+ Minutes, PKs & Mr. Findley http://theshinguardian.com/2009/11/22/mls-cup/ 22 players, 1 ball, high quality commentary Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:05:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: kaya http://theshinguardian.com/2009/11/22/mls-cup/#comment-2978 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:57:12 +0000 http://theshinguardian.com/?p=5328#comment-2978 Except that Rimando is 2-3″ taller than Spud Webb and the average height in the NBA greater than that of probably almost any GK.
I know, I’m being a smart ass. I knew what your point was, and 5′-9″ (or his bio’s 5′-10″) is quite short for a goalie. Jedi mind tricks can compensate for many things.

Beckerman played very well in the Gold Cup against “B” competition to earn a call up in September. However, watch a replay of US versus El Salvador from Rio Tinto and you’ll see why Bradley won’t “give” him more caps.

He was out of place with these egoed pro players. Call some things but not all the time. at least the side judges were solid on offside calls and other sideline calls.

The Backup goalie Saunders was solid can’t expect any better from a backup GK. He was perfect. Fitness keep Real in the game while Galaxy dominated most of the 90 mins. Beckerman was control of ball and passes kept the ball way from a dominate Galaxy. They dominated so much that they did too much running to take shot on goal and hurt them in OT. The field turf is turf. The players ability to adjust and keep his feet and control of the ball, Thus shows the players overall talent and skill. Beckham, Beckerman, and Landon are the players that never struggled. Andy Williams is old and fat now or he be in that group. I wanted to watch Sunday Night Football My Bears beat the Eagles. But in the end I appreciated the time slot for MLS CUP. I continually flip channels all night and saw end of the Match them the Bears fail to show up.

Robbie has one tool, speed, he can shoot but if he couldn’t he be out of MLS. he has poor touch and poor vision, poor knowledge of the game.
