I can't tell if Adi is falling over a bunch or if Seattle is actually bringing him down (could be both...), but he is getting nothing from the ref. I fear Porter is going to complain about it later. His first touch has been decent, but then two sounders get on him and he goes down before he can get the ball away. If he can just find that pass...

Watching this after seeing Ger beat Arg. Feels like watching college basketball after the NBA playoffs.

Really loose clouds of plauers, long passes that players scramble to get under, aggressive jumping over the back rather than zone specific defense.

But whatev go local team woo!

Can't wait to move back next year so I can go to some Sounders matches. Pretty quiet match so far though.

Well, except the fact that college basketball is significantly more fun to watch than the NBA.

Lolwut? Adi is falling at the slightest touch from Marshall and the ref is all too happy to blow the whistle for him.

I warned you guys this would be a slog.

I think the ref has been rightly ignoring him. He has made some other calls for other players that have not been good, but I think he has called Fernando Adi's bluff. Unless I'm really, really high... and then I could be completely wrong.

E: Wow, Oba was really close twice. That was scary.

Defense was way off their marking there but I'll give him credit on that finish, not the easiest angle

red bulls are lacking sharpness all over the field but especially with the final ball, and henry looks out of sync with everyone

Last time NY let in the first goal, Henry got 3 assists, but theres also countless other times they lost. Unsure of how this is going to end, but that's just the inherent excitement of top-notch sports entertainment like Major League Soccer

My heart breaks for Henry every time I see him actually have to take the field with the likes of Luis Robles.

New York are very bad, is what I am saying.

You mean all star goalkeeper Luis Robles, starter for the 2013 Supporter's Shield winners the New York Red Bulls? Seems like he's got a pretty good resume.

He's bald, so he likely lacks self confidence, making him hesitate when hitting the volley and causing the ball to fly wildly off target.

For a minute I was thinking " Wasn't he good? Doesn't he have like a season goal scoring record for MLS or something?" and then I remembered he does but its like 14 goals or something equally comical.
