It's the 59th minute, and DeRo hits a goal from the halfway line -- against the wind -- to put Dynamo ahead 2-1 in windy Chicago. That's a sure goal of the week winner, and a definite candidate for goal of the year.
If it wins us the game, then it also buys us a much needed 3 points. We're only 1 point ahead of 3rd place Chivas, and 3 points ahead of Colorado.
DeRo has the goal of the year in each of the two previous years, could he make the trifecta?
And now it's the 69th minute, and the ref (this time Baldomero Toledo) once again rewards the cheating defensive play of our opponent when it doesn't award us a PK when Sanneh trips Moreno in the box...and the ref even gives Moreno a yellow card.
Nice goal line clearance by Robinson. Thank you, Eddie.
But then the ref decides to steal the show, giving Chicago a PK and a point. Not even a week has passed and it's time for another blog clamoring for professional referees if this is to be a professional league. Poor officiating once again -- and in a game changing fashion once again. But worse: they are creating a league of defenders who don't have to learn finesse and defensive tracking as long as they can get away with bone-jarring slide tackles that trump any offensive dribbling prowess. Thanks, refs, for confining the MLS to a crude existence where athleticism is rewarded over skill. You are limiting US Soccer and we soccer fans will pay for your sins.
