No Mwanga, no Mondragon, no Mapp, no Adu, no Williams, settle in folks. This may not be pretty.

Nakazawa at RB
is atrocious on every level. I understand Nowak likes the outside backs to be able to contribute to the offensive push but Nakazawa barely does that when he is in the mid field. Richter or hell even Marfan would be a better choice. On a side note, this game not being available on Match Day irritates me. Anyway, DOOP!

Freddy Adu sprained his ankle in training Wednesday morning.
Danny Mwanga’s hip injury is something he’s been suffering from for a while but was able to play through it until now.

Kyle Nakazawa no longer playing right back. Thank goodness.

Marfan is taking Nakazawa’s place at right back.

YSA
Did I just hear a nice YSA from the KC fans? How impolite of them.
Same, especially with this line-up.

With the chances we’ve had, I want three points. And “phillyhoosfan” please tell me that doesn’t mean you’re a UVA fan?

Whenever I hear the name “Zusi,” my mind wonders why JP is talking all cutesy about a Greek god.

There's a mistake there from MacMath that yields a SKC corner.
And Kamara nearly buried it. Just over the bar. Phew.

Half Time
Sporting Kansas City 0-0 Philadelphia Union

Half time
this field is looking nasty. Tough first half for the Union defensively. Garfan getting schooled by Kamara but we have had some luck. Marfan playing pretty well on the right side there. Adjustment ideas?

I like Torres
but he is getting shoved around tonite. Bumped off the ball constantly. Nakazawa hasn’t added much besides one or two nice defensive moments. Not sure what else can be done.

That's what happens when you play for the draw
Sigh, Nowak.

thats partially true
but he’s not on the field. One of those defenders need to make it uncomfortable for him to hold onto that ball.

I'd argue Marfan
MacMath while making a few impressive saves also had a few blunders.

Talking to a friend before the game
and we both agreed we’d be happy with a point, considering the circumstances. Wish I could have actually watched the game though.
