Some Thoughts Before the Play by Play
- Man of the Match: Jason Thompson: Active, fast, strong, mobile, and confident… just outstanding play. What a difference a year makes. Played high as a target. Just fantastic. Two goals, chance for four. “I Feel great,” Thompson said. “I am so happy to be playing and I have so much energy. Can’t wait for the next one.”
- Jolley was very composed in the back, Behncke didn’t blow me away but didn’t make any mistakes either.
- Rhine and Curtis were very active and created some danger moments.
- Salyer was not bad thrown in a t right mid, to give Miranda a chance to prove something. Which frankly I don’t think he did.
- EJ is in town.
- Gavin Glinton is making a National Team appearance and will rejoin the team in Spain. I know, that’s what I said. Apparently, he is an international for the Turks and Caicos Islands. Who knew?
- The right back for SMU can play. Ugo Ihemelu, 3-year starter and only now a JR. good size and pace. A player to watch. I also liked #3 in the midfield, Jake Jackson I think.
- SMU jerseys have no numbers, which annoys me to no end, only little ones on their pants. Makes it real hard to ID their players. Here is their lineup going by roster off SMU site. The left back had no number so I have no idea who he is, could have been #15 – Mynor Gonzalez.
