Tonight in the League's Cup Final, I made a save against Lionel Messi when his shot on a free kick went into the stands. Prevented the woman next to me from getting hit.
As a goalie, I will be dining on this feat for a long time.

This is why Nouhou got the red.
Yeah, deserved and will probably be a suspension between the fan interaction and the middle finger to the ref.

I'm absolutely not going to shit on Nouhou here for this red until I see something, anything that could explain why he got it.
Plenty of reasons to criticize him, but this ain't it from everything we've seen on the broadcast.
Said, there was "fan interaction"? There should be video of that if true

FIFA should eliminate all the stutter step crap leading up to penalties. There's no reason that should be allowed. It's cowardly and unsporting to me.
I heard an interesting proposal that once the player takes their first step, goalies can leave their lines, and maybe that'd be a solution...

With the news that Club Leon is out of the Club World Cup it is very possible that the Whitecaps take the spot as the highest ranked team in CONCACAF not in Mexico or the US. (regulations state only two teams per country allowed).
Very interested to see how this plays out. #FIFACWC

In fun lighthearted news, my daughter is featured in an ad for the Sounders. The club took this photo a few games ago of her playing around before the match, and I absolutely love how happy she is in the unscripted moment.

I'm desperate for anything that resembles good news in our community right now, things just feel so damn bleak.

Cole Bassett leads the rapids with 3(!?!) goals this season.
1. They really are a bad team, aren't they?
2. He's going to get a brace, isn't he?
Can we please get a high altitude win? I feel like Colorado and RSL are always difficult places for us to get all three points.
