Thoughts on the day:
HC Torrent-My feeling right now is that we played very well in the first half.
Capt. Alex RIng-It feels good, I think we played a good game today. Philly is not an easy place to come and play, I think especially in the ffirst half we had a really good game.
Def Anton Tinnerholm-It's my first game for over 2 weeks now and it's was not 100%. So it's good to get back. I think I need it before the playoff game.
readSporting KC goes home as FC Dallas plays on with a dominant performance half a dozen goals to none. This result extended the losing streak of the visitors to half a dozen. Dallas struck twice in the first half and then doubled that in the second for a very lopsided game to close out the season. KC was berefit a pair of players due to red cards in the game last Sunday with the Timbers. The lack of Roger Espinoza & Llie Sanchez was felt dearly. To make up for those they were missing, a quartet of Homegrown Players suited up to start, a first.
readOne goal in the first half by RSL player Damir Krellach was the nail in the coffin of the year that saw them end a 3 game win streak. At about 6p.m. ET their off season began and the next starts to come into focus. RSL for their part wil host the former NY Cosmos coach and his Portland Timbers. The 'Caps now begin their seach which has gone global to get a new Sporting Director and is onging along with seeking out players. Nick Rimando in his last regular season of his storied career had 5 saves, good for his 10the shuout of the year.
readThe widely successful ride is over, the top spot amongst all coaches of the team is secure, Jill Ellis goes out in a tie. 33,027 bore witness to this monumental end at Solider Field under great conditions, Carli Lloyd, the greatest of her players had the sole goal just 3 days before, as they downed this same Korean team in a shutout 2-0 win. The 34' saw a shot against the grain from Ji So-Yun just beyond the box and it was 1-0 but now just a wait a minute.
readThey were down early, in the rain, facing the apt named Torrent, but came back for the 2-1 win. We interviewed him this week, he had his first goal last night, congrats to Shavon John-Brown. Just 2 minutes into the 2nd stanza, off a headed corner from Darwin Espinal, Matt Lewis later beat former NY Cosmos 'keeper Kevin Tenjo for the win. So this week, 2 that we spoke to scored, could be good luck, who is up for the next interview or discussion? Just as the Cosmos were winnning so too were Detroit, 1-0 over Chatanooga, each keeping pace with the other.
