People, places and things we noticed during the weekend that tend to land on the over-done or overly praised side. Not necessarily awful but, you know, just “meh.”
- Season opening attendance in Chicago
- Watching Sporting KC in 2013 (inferior to the greatness that was watching SKC in 2012)
- Overly dramatic post-game press conferences
- Curious contentment with early season clunkers (“It’s a long season” only goes so far.)
- Jose Mourinho’s false modesty
- Concerns over Brad Guzan’s ability to ably replace Tim Howard next week
- PPG (points per game) in the standings/table
- Sherjill MacDonald (the poor guy is close to establishing a standing place on this list)
- Pita chips
- Screaming at refs after committing obvious fouls (Apparently, too many players believe the laws of the game are “Meh”)
- Marvell Wynne’s crossing
- Most of the crossing in MLS
- Joel Lindpere in spring (he was slow out of the gate last year, too)
