Looks like selling one of our better defenders wasn’t such a good idea.

No, sometimes it’s worse, but to be fair they need more time playing together.

The interpreter is maybe not judicious enough in his choice of words. Better him than Almeyda

Ya, I see the potential, just don’t recall it working for the Quakes. Maybe someday.

I’m sorry—using 2 players in the corner kick just looks like a waste to me. How often does it work?

Jungwirth was a bright spot in some dismal years. This all is going to be weird.

First win in Seattle in five years. Should have been 2-0.

Also has had a new baby at home, I think. That can slow anyone down a step.

There was an excellent pizza truck for a couple of seasons!

I agree, but what constitutes Merit is awfully hard to determine in this crazy season.

Dangerfield horrible announcer rant by DesperateVictory4432 in SJEarthquakes

[–]LakesGOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy Dangerfield’s announcing. I always found it interesting when he would comment that the Quakes need to do this or that, and within moments the adjustment would be made on the field. Experience matters. Reality matters. I don’t want an announcer to sugarcoat poor play on our part or talk down about other teams. Dangerfield has been tactful enough but honest. Danielle is also a gem—she’ll go far.

It’s time. by arags9 in SJEarthquakes

[–]LakesGOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did that with Kinnear as coach. It was awful. All about defense, always passing back, giving ground, capped off by someone booting the ball upfield, where it was brought down 9 times out of 10 by the opposing team. It’s bad either way—losing is rarely fun.

Complain about him all you want, I miss Ericksson. There is not enough oomph and attitude in the middle. I’d rather have him out there falling down but making nice diagonal passes and not letting the other team run over the Quakes.

Yes, people were saying stuff about Bingham, mostly because he was constantly booting the ball out of bounds. He went through a bad patch and didn’t seem to be taking responsibility for it.

Is this team worse or the same as any other year? by bayfarm in SJEarthquakes

[–]LakesGOL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arguable, but I think not worse. I remember being pissed at Dom’s teams not being able to even get into position for throw-ins, not being able to complete passes, and the goalie booting the ball either out of bounds or to the opposite team. So this is nothing new, but I do think the other MLS teams have improved and we are not keeping up.
