1. Very sad to see the boys blow a 2-0 lead and this was not a hollow victory, this is a tough loss.
2. Yes, we rode our luck a bit to get to the final but so what we got there. Seems once the USMNT realized they had nothing to lose after those two horrific loses they started playing much better.
3. First time since 2002 I’ve see real progress from the USMNT and it was mental progress. No messiah suddenly showed up and Bob Bradley did not suddenly become a footballing genius. Play with heart, play for each other, leave everything on the field and good things can happen.
4. I have no idea what this means, if anything honestly, for SA2010 World Cup. Too many uncertainties. What if players get injured, go off form, we run into a team hitting its stride and so on. So again this was a painful loss because this team may not be together and have this spirit again.
5. This was a real opportunity to get a nice trophy but it didn’t happen because we got beat. We didn’t choke, come a cropper, give up stupid idiotic goals. No we just got beat by the most successful footballing nation in world playing at a high level in the second half. Brazil clearly had no intention of letting that half-time score stand.
6. Still overall, as a fan: Yes it would have been sweet to win but I am so proud of the way the USMNT turned things around in these last three games and really those first 45 minutes of the final we truly something else. Well done boys.
This one had it all. Great goals and own goals by both teams, poor discipline on both sides, fatigue, disappointment, joy, and well wait – this was an MLS game in June. Did DCU steal a point – yup, is that the sound of Seattle screaming in anger- yup. Again this was an MLS game in June, I mean JUNE people. Wow and okay – this was no classic – not one to burn onto the hard-drive and show the kids when they are old enough. No for DC this was a point we got on a night when DCU was not at their best as a team, not by a long shot. Wicks again was a stud in goal (keeping us in the game almost single-handedly at times), Pontius scored an excellent goal from a very good ball from Tino, Gomez looks up and says you’re giving that much space I think I’ll Goal, and well thanks Marshall. Otherwise, well defense/midfield were okay when not getting over-run and the forwards well, didn’t see that much of the ball in all honesty. So to sum up:
Seattle you should be upset. Trust me we know how you feel when you blow it in front of a home crowd of that size, not a good feeling.
DCU. We should be happy with the result and on our way to Colorado where DC United plays in the annual Maryland v. Colorado Family Bragging Rights Cup. Vamos United!

Definitely my favorite from the current batch. I’ve got a few left to edit but, well, we’ll see. I need to work on getting greater depth of field.
