Disappointing that this is on at the same time as the Clasico, but I’m definitely still going to watch it.

PPL Park is unsurprisingly pretty empty.

Does anyone have a stream for this?

Daniel is doing really well. Nakazawa still sucks. That’s basically all I’ve gotten from this match so far.

A pretty decent crowd today, considering the game is being played in a monsoon

And two other local teams are in the playoffs games on at the same time…

the offense looked pretty affective so far, atleast we are holding onto the ball alot more then in the past two games

by Rhayes on Apr 16, 2011 4:54 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, certainly little room to complain about that half. Good stuff all around.

Especially considering the conditions and the lack of a real strong crowd.

It’s good all things considered, but this does not appear to be PPL at its most lively.

The Flyers are using “Maria (I Like It Loud)” (better known to us as DOOP) as their goal song.
