One other thing from this game Ely Allen is clearly not ready to play in this league! We need to take some of these guys and loan them out to USL teams now, that way we do not have to cut them all.

Poor Franklin. He is very much off form right now. Hopefully, his bad news comes in threes and it’s over now (own goal, yellow card, red card).

Diane, I’m with you on Klein. Whether or not he is the “official” captain, he is definitely a leader on and off the field. He actually looked a little pissed at Kovalenko when he gave him a shove away from the ref.

And Nathan? You get all the cool points!!! Blogging from the stadium rocks! It’s almost like we have our own man inside the press box! (Hey, maybe you could work your way up there? . . .)

Nathan the red card should not have been a red you are right but if it was a yellow it was his second yellow so…either way this was the worst game Franklin has played on this team. He made more than two of those types of tackles so it is his own fault and I agree I think he is rusty I mean this was only his second game of the pre-season.

HANG ON! Eddie Lewis is captain and not Chris? Eddie seems like a great guy and we know he’s a good player, but I thought Chris was going to be captain next — of anyplace he happened to be at the moment for that matter.

The alleged Chris Klein fan club can arrive none too soon!

(Fair enough, Franklin deserves more sympathy, but still..)

George, when I was in Europe last year, the system would tell me that everybody else was wherever I was. So you guys all traveled with me to England, France and Ireland. Hope you had as much fun as I did!

Interesting how on the live blog for the game against Trinita it said that a lot of commenters were from Japan, and here it tells me that Justin, jen, and David are from Republic of Korea.

Heartbreak, but it could have been worse? I do feel sorry for Franklin, though.

Methinks Bruce will be working the guys on penalties. Suwon looked a whole lot more self-confident in that shootout.

I only saw the last 20 minutes. Hard to judge from that. I didn’t recognize a third of the team. Franklin was clearly awful. Overall though the team seemed a better than last year, more in synch. How was the lineup?

Mike Magee!

Soft penalty call. Guess the ref is in pre season too.

Extremely soft red card. Absolutely a foul. Maybe yellow. Hard to justify red.
