Dempsey came in after 30 minutes due to an injury to Oba Martins. He was fantastic. The quality he has is great for this team. He can hold the ball up and he played some wonderful passes. Took some chances with shots, forcing a lot of blocks, and a great save by the Toronto keeper. He was unlucky not to score.
He will score goals for this team, and gather assists as well. Amazing signing.
Also, Mauro Rosales...as much as I love him for what he's done for this club in the past, is not at the top of his game...or anywhere close to it. He is so far out of form i'm surprised he didn't miss the tap-in half volley form 3 yards out that was our first goal. He's lost a step, and an ounce of quality along the way. Great player for the club, but his time is coming to an end.
Also...Defense in the second half was horrid....just awful...Hahnemann kept us in that game.
The Sounders are back up into the playoff picture BTW....4 points out of first.
Also, we are undefeated in the last 40 games when we score first.
