One factoid I pulled out of this is that once your team is out of the BIM tourney, your staff, even one to scout may not remain and catch the games live, but the USMNT HC & father of a Crew player is able to look on? Yes his presence will in theory benefit the league as he evaluates players for his team but if I have upwards of 40 people, get eliminated today, I may not leave 1 behind.

I will keep my part brief, as I have no positive take on this game other than I do not recall anyone getting injured. The NYRB were out worked, a rarity and I am sure they heard about it post game and will pay for it next training session. Zardes was not accounted for, there was no fire to their play, poor ball movement, marking was all but non existent.

A late goal swamped the 'Caps as Shea Salinas made it 4-3 for the Cali. team late into injury time last night.
WIth half an hour of regulation time left, the team out of Canada was ahead 3-1, not as comfortable of a lead as one would have thought at the time. Ali Adnan, Cristian Dajome and an own goal were the diffference makers as the 'Caps played their first game in the MIB tourney. The 7 blocks in his first MLS game for Vancouver gave Ranko Veselinovic at just 21 the MLS game record in that category.
