I knew you’d love that dubious crack! I bet you really loved it when Dunseth said how unusual it was for Fred to lose the ball so often. That was classic!

As for Firpo, they’re good. Nowhere near athletic enough to survive consistenly in MLS, but a good team. That number 9 Benitez would score some goals in MLS though, and they’re defenders are pretty solid. But, overall a bit too slow to take advantage of their pretty decent skills and passing abilities. They’d hover around the bottom of MLS, and DC would likely be pretty close to the top in El Salvador if their leagues were reversed, and assuming Alianza and Fas are slightly better than Firpo.

I’m stunned that you thought that Fred’s red card was “dubious”.

What exactly was dubious about it. Textbook red card and I wish it had come earlier as he was easily the worst player on the field.

FredLove might just have to take a backseat for a while.

Mike – how do you rate Firpo overall? Granted a win in Central America is good anytime we can get them. I still wish that we could have put them away (both at RFK and last night) in regulation.
