I went to MLS.com to read their account of the Battery vs. Red Bull NY game.

http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20060322&content_id=54275&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp

In the article, Andrew Mosier wrote:

Quote:
Battery forward Ben Hollingsworth put the home side on score sheet in the 14th minute after running through the Red Bulls three-man back line and awkwardly sidefooting the ball past a closing Tony Meola. Meola did manage to get a piece of the ball with his right foot, but it wasn't enough to push the ball wide as Red Bulls defenders stood watching as the ball rolled ever so slowly before stopping just over the goal line .

I then watched the actual goal.

An article on the game under Mosier's byline appeared on the Battery website and USLsoccer.com which did not include the belittling comments. I don't know who edited the articles to play for the different audiences, but it led to a disingenuous result for this fan.

Note to Mr. Mosier: The only thing "awkward" was Meola on his back.

Mosier wrote for MLSnet about DCU Battery game:

"The platoon of United substitutions allowed the Battery back into the game."

Really. Except for Ugo's poor timing, I thought the Battery was the better team Saturday night, but I could be as prejudiced as Mosier.

Don't kid yourself, once Moreno and Gomez were subbed out, the middle of the field opened up for us. They're the best two players on that team, along with Ben Olsen.

Have to agree with TPL4, Moreno and Gomez leaving the game was a major change for DC, since they have no players that can come close to replacing those guys. Moreno looked like he wasn't even trying during the game, and still played extremely well.

Ben Olsen would also help this team considerably, and not to mention that Rimando wasn't in the goal either.

But you can't take too much away from the Battery, since the DC United defensive line was definitely first string (Boswell and Erpen) and they were having trouble handling Glinton, Hollingsworth and McKnight.
