Neat moment, but fairly unimpressive.
OK Alexi Lalas.

Funny, but Lex would have ridiculed him for not having the good sense to create his own scoring chance closer to goal instead of laying off a lazy 5' pass to a teammate to drive a low percentage chance from outside the box. I can't go that far. I'll laud him for making the right play, but it's a play most players would make there. Good on him for doing the right thing there, though. Lex wouldn't have.OK Alexi Lalas.
3-0..... I think The Godfather is on Paramount. Interest in this game = gone.
This is partly why I’ve become more of a fan of combining CONCACAF and CONMEBOL although we might never qualify then depending on how it’s done.
My interest was captured by Vines in those first 3 goals. Bad news for the kid that he plays left back where Dest, Robinson, and probably a couple others are ahead of him, but he made some exquisite passes to create those goals. Really impressed with him. That was something that easily translates to tougher competition.3-0..... I think The Godfather is on Paramount. Interest in this game = gone.

Good to see Ferreira involved in almost every goal, but a lot of that was competition enabled. Just generally happy to see so much FCD academy input into the squad. Kellen Acosta was quietly very solid too.
I think they said the only open spot on the back line was one of the center back spots opposite Brooks. They seemed to think (as do I), that GK is well covered, 3 spots on the back line are well covered, 3-4 spots in midfield are well covered, and striker is wide open. That basically leaves one center back spot and striker as a wide open competition and maybe one midfield spot. Everything else is a competition to see who can be the depth players at each position in the WC.Pregame commentary was that left back was open. Guess they see Dest playing elsewhere? Maybe I heard them wrong.
