Why can't RSL suddenly find the back of the net?  I for one amd getting really sick or moral victories.  Much as I agree with what Kreis said about the refs against Houston, two pointer I wish to make.  First, Wingert should know that any time a player retaliates, he will get caught.  It always happens that way, much as his shove was probably warranted, it was also rash and stupid and he did deserve a red card for doing it.  Second, when Kreis starts his diatribe about the refs by basically saying he knows he's going to get fined and suspended, it's robably not something that needs to be said. 

Now for the Santos game.  I really think it was a disservice to not have the first team play.   I understand with the reasoning as to why they didn't, especially since Cowlumbus is coming Saturday and that match actually means something and Santos didn't.  But if you want to get the respect of Mexican fans (which in my opinion isn't going to happen until MLS teams consistently beat Mexican teams in meaningful competition and the USMNT doesn't keep kicking the shit out of Mexico every time they play), have enough respect for their champion team to play your best lineup.  Oh and Horst, please buy yourself a one way ticket to USL 2 and never set foot on the pitch in an RSL jersey again. 

Now I'm going to talk about what's really frustrating to me: double standards.  Why is it ok for Steve Nichols to criticize the referees on national television but not for Jason Kreis?  Just doesn't seem right to me.  The league obviously knows there are problems with officiating but yet sees fit to ignore Nichols but punish Kreis.  Fine.

Now the biggest thing I have a problem with.  Why is it ok for Mexican fans to use profanity, but not ok for RCB and FCB to use profanity?  Is it because the Mexicans at the the Santos game did it in Spanish?  If that's the case, I'm going to teach the RCB Czech.  I'm just getting really sick of the orange shirt Nazis always hassling us and the FO, despite years of promises to the contrary, not doing a damned thing about what's going on.  They know the problems, they have promised to do what they can but then consistently do something completely opposite.  If they want to censor things, all that will happen is that RCB will go into double meaning things, or we will just get worse where every chant will be nothing but "fuck, fuck fuckity fuck, fuck, fuck."  They promis us that when we are in the new stadium, things will change, to be honest, I highly doubt that.  If they still can't figure out that sell 4 bonus games and then only giving 3 won't piss people off (and then telling them that because one of those games was Real Madrid that really it's like getting two games), I highly doubt the lessons that should be learned from REs will carry over either.
