OH NONONONONO. this is the single worst field i have EVER played on. it is pathetic, i cant believe they let people play on it let alone an mls team. i hope they have completely redone it because when i was in high school 3 years ago i played on that field 6 times in my high school career. it plain flat out sucked. it was like playing on concrete with little blades of grass poking up here and there. absolutely horrible. we always had atleast one guy get injured on that field. when the ball was placed long or high it would bounce like 10 feet in the air and travel 15 yards on a single bounce. if a ball was played up the line it would get stuck in a rut that was actually used as the line, so the ball would just go all the way up the field without going out of bounds. we would play the line just for that reason. our keep could play 70-80 yard kicks most of the time because of that crappy bounce. i really hope this is not the same field, its a death trap. pray to the soccer gods that st joes has either relocated to a new field or they overhauled this field, otherwise we are going to be hearing about injuries come wednesday 🙁 . mark it.

I played on the feild two years ago as well it was horrible. Every player had some sort of scrape bruise or small injury. Last year they put in a new feild that is by the school. It is not the best feild I ever played on but it is much nicer then there old one. It is alot smaller then a professional feild which can be expected and I'm not sure if it can be expanded or not.

Now if we could have that type of goal output in our MLS road games...

Actually I thought it was a sign on the Acropolis... but maybe I mis-understood!

Yes he actually scored two goals. the first was a bit messy but the second was a thing of beauty...

Watson had an incredible header in the second half!!! I really wish i would have caught that!!!

Is Adam Acosta still playing as the unofficial water boy of the team or did he actually sign a contract?
