Apologies to this guy, but I'm going to steal the "Were You Aware Of It?" format to highlight a few of the stories that are drifting past my desk...monitor...inbox...whatever...
Neither Chivas nor Seattle could register the precious three points both needed in the almighty MLS playoff scrum, but that doesn't mean the game lacked highlights. Witness Marcelo Saragosa nominating himself for the Jay Heaps' Thug-tastic Hall of Shame...
But the quality in the match was mostly coming from a keeper that most thought was well past his best, but may actually have deserved his nomination as an All Star this year. And no, he doesn't play for Seattle (stupid MLS video nonsense--can't embed the QuickKicks save reel, and highlights have no direct link to Thornton's save reel, so just follow the linky and click on Thornton's save reel at the bottom. Ugh!)...
Vicious hit on Montero, which makes me wonder: is it a coincidence that Montero seems to draw the hardest challenges/boot to the facial area? I know before Wicks' stomp, Montero delivered a textbook knee to the noggin (no foul called, though play was stopped for a minute). I'm starting to think Montero may be inviting every hard tackle by some dirty (though subtly so) play of his own.
ReplyDeleteOr am I out of line?
This is FBF, AMT, wild speculation and conspiracy theories are always welcome ;-).
ReplyDeleteMontero's ability to draw/provoke fouls of a vicious nature puts me in mind of a certain Mr. White...
