things more important than soccer

Been a while since I posted, but been hectic. My wife has spent the last two nights in the hospital, so not fun. She was in a lot a pain the other day, so took her to the ER. She has gallstones, which is where the pain was coming from, and also her liver functions were way off. So they admitted her. Can't do much about the gall stones until she delivers, so just have to watch that. The liver function though was starting to get better, but then her platelettes started to go down, they thought she was starting into HELLP syndrome, which is very bad, especially at 20 weeks. Well, that's now starting to look up again, so probably not the HELLP stuff, which is excellent, but the doctors still have no idea what's going on. Guess that's what happens when you practice medicine. Maybe they need to step off the practice pitch.
I guess I will say something about the TFC match. First half, scary how many chances RSL wasted. Hitting the post twice is not a good thing. So still the finishing problems that have plagued RSL for the entire history of the team. It was good to NOT see one of our former players score on us, I don't know what I would have done if Cunningham would have put one away. I guess he's in the doghouse in Toronto now too. Not sure why every team he plays for seems to not really like him, but after 4 teams have stopped putting up with his shit, i would guess that it has something to do with his personality/attitude. I think he thrives when he was in a situation like he had with RSL in 2006 where there really wasn't much to speak of as far as the rest of the team, and he could be a one-man show. I don't have any first hand experience with his work ethic or anything, but there has to be something for him to end up in the doghouse with 4 different teams given his talent level.
The encouraging thing with the TFC match is that for once it was RSL scoring in the84th minute for the win. The lads showed a lot of heart in pulling that one out.
Now as for RES, glad i wasn't there for this match, seems the Orange Shirt Gestapo is stil out in force and still as dumb as ever.
