Don't go to Summers --Service, food, attitude by Joe is all bad. Try anyplace else
Posted by: Not Johnny | November 17, 2007 7:57 AM
Agreed... the food is atrocious and the service is bad... but at this hour on a Saturday it might be the only option for some people... Lucky Bar might have the game or 4 courts across the street in Arlington.
I love the fact that Summers has so much soccer on, but if it weren't for the TVs and the soccer it would be one of the worst restaurants in Arlington and would have been closed months after it opened.

Lovely pass by Freddy and great goal by Cherundolo on the overlap

GOAL Cherundolo
Prior to this, Adu takes a corner that ends up a throw in for South Africa! Nice.

Oops, that was Maurice Edu, not Adu on the assist
Posted by: Albert Hall | November 17, 2007 10:08 AM
How is the game going? Who is looking good?
Posted by: Chase | November 17, 2007 10:42 AM
adu was fine, though it would've been nice for him to finish that breakaway.
edu-bradley-beasley all look strong.
feilhaber needs to start actually playing for darby, or transfer.
i think pearce also played well.
and, of course, cherundolo's goal was very very impressive.

Check out one of the coolest soccer stadium sites I've ever seen--the proposed GreenPoint Stadium in Cape Town
(under "Stadiums", first row, on the right,)
Posted by: galaunitelefuturavision | November 17, 2007 10:59 AM
Pearce was quite bad today. I thought Adu, Edu, Boca, Dolo, and Gooch all looked good. Overall, a decent win a long ways away.
Posted by: Hoost | November 17, 2007 11:10 AM
Adu was fine. Too bad Jozy didn't get more time or touches on the ball. Hopefully Cherundolo's injury wasn't too serious.

So where are the posters who were throwing out 4-5-1 as the potential line-up?
Posted by: AlecW81 | November 17, 2007 1:18 PM
OMG!!
Israel 2, Russia 1
Lotta drunk 'n happy England fans, I would imagine....
Wonder if the Israeli Embassy in London is gonna be getting any free beer in the next couple days....
Posted by: Juan-John | November 17, 2007 2:59 PM
Isn't the GreenPoint Stadium in Cape Town one of those that is way off schedule and for sure not going to be ready for the Confederations Cup and possibly not the WC??

-As much as I hate ESPN, it showed the only highlights of this match I could find . . . Though I'm not sure why they showed them on the "ESPN Deportes" segment of Sports Center.

OMG. Greg Ryan is a body snatcher, and has taken over Bob Bradley. There was absolutely no play through the midfield. Just a bunch of errant boots over the top. Adu and Altidore were both left wondering what they had to do to get the ball at their feet.
Credit goes to Cherundolo for a beautiful goal, but for the rest of the game, it looked like this team hadn't even practiced together.
