Hey Everybody
What a great win to come from behind in KC! It wasn’t exactly the way I would have scripted the game, but in the end the result is all that matters. We took the lead with a great goal from Tyrone after he put himself in the right place and the right time. With chance after chance to double the lead in the first half we went into halftime with only the one goal.
Second half we lost a little concentration and in a short five minute spell lost the lead with two goals against. The first one was completely offsides which we confirmed after watching the tape this morning. It’s hard to be over critical with the officiating, but after the two goals we took in New England I was thinking here we go again. No excuses for the second, we didn’t deal with a simple cross and got rightfully punished.
What is so cool is the team didn’t drop their heads. We were continually creating chances and Roger came in to score the equalizer. Roger has really been pushing for more playing time and is proving why the USL Sounders had so much faith in him.
The third goal was created by some good persistence from Ljungberg on the right channel to strip the KC defender of the ball and put in a precise cross for Nate to slam home the winner. When watching the tape this morning the team got a good laugh how close Nate came to putting the shot from close range over the top. Visions of Zakauni at Houston came rushing back. When you score and win its great to laugh as a team.
With the way results went for us this weekend, we could end up in first place. We are playing a very in form Dallas, but we want to get back to winning ways at home to build that confidence before the playoffs. There is still a chance we could be toasting a Western division championship.

Congratulations on an exciting game and fantastic win in KC!!
Huge win Kasey – great job by the team. The best (other than the result) was the attitude the team showed after shipping the goals. We looked like a championship team.
