Hopefully the Union defense can play better in the first half tonight than they did against New England.

Not sure how I feel
about Marfan at back. he did not perform well there last time. I know we are looking at a more offensive line up but Gabe is a decent offensive player too. Would rather have that security

I'm hoping last week
was just nerves for MacMath. Hopefully at home here in friendly territory he will be excellent

I actually think MacMath played very well against New England Revolutions
At least 3 of those goals were not his faults, and he made some nice saves in the 2nd half.

We’ve got no one who can challenge/convert a header on a long FK

We need
to convert something like that. Portland player frustrated just gives up on ball expecting a foul, we need to take advantage of that

Not a bad first half
controlled the run of play, now just need to get some of these shots on net. MacMath has looked very good tonite. Torres doing well. le Toux his normal self, Mwanga has been disappointingly invisible. Defense keeping a good shape, some real nice stuff from Marfan, I might have to take back my orginal thought on him in there. Adu and Paunovic doing alright as well. Hopefully we make a few adjustments and get a goal or 2 this second half.

Like I just said below… if you get taken out of a stretcher, you shouldn’t even be allowed back in the game. That’s a joke.

If you get taken off the field on a stretcher, you should not be allowed to run back on 10 seconds later. That’s pathetic.
