A draw!

We’re you all as excited about this draw as we were? No, but really. We talk about our expectations going into this one, which to be quite honest were low. More than mildly shocked that we didn’t get shredded by Giovinco and Altidore, but pleasantly surprised by how well the make-shift defense performed. Lot’s to talk about with RSL and we try to cover as much of it as we can. Rough first 20 min and some miscommunications during the run of play for the rest of the game but that’s the rust coming off, we hope. There were some bright spots and flashes of hope from guys like Rusnak, Joao, Jordan, and even Velazco, but we definitely have a lot of work to do.

All in all, it was the first real game of the year and it looked like it. Also, we talk about Jeff’s sweater briefly and how much we hate Alan Chapman.
