It wasn’t good enough from me tonight. I let my teammates, the club, and the fans down and for that I apologize. However, tomorrow is a new day and our focus quickly shifts towards Saturday. We’ll learn from this and keep moving forward.
@folasso – Forrest Lasso – Twitter
I really hate to disagree with a player, but Forrest has nothing to be sorry for. Reffing has been an issue this season, but I feel this has gone to a new level. The referee that gave out the second yellow (=red) card to Lasso in last night’s contest has a quick history of painting the pitch red.
The Red Bulls II have a history this season of getting all the calls (opponents receiving nine red cards this season). Put them together and it smells more than a cow pasture. The Red Bulls got all ball on a header and Lasso missed. Lasso came down with his forearms on the back of the opponent. He dropped and acted like Forrest broke his nose and stole his puppy.

Nashville would play a man down after the 65′ mark of the game.
Scoring
Ken Tribbett made his case for Nashville Mayor after scoring at the 10′ mark of the match by shaking hands and kissing babies.
The Red Bulls would square it up in the 44th minute right before half. Stroud scored undefended from a sweet cross. Nashville D never saw it. Sparrow had no chance for the save.
Final score of the night came from Duncan for New York at 71′. I know Nashville was down a man, but Duncan had a whole minute to get the ball settled, shine his boots, then line up and drop the shot. Nashville D just was unable to stay in control. It was Duncan’s first of the year.
Nashville and New York are two of the top scoring teams in the league, but Nashville just could not get it going. All control was had by the Red Bulls. The refs had a hand late in the game, but it was NSC’s job to get it done. First loss since July 6th coming from Louisville.
