I wanted the penalty, Mario felt confident and he has taken big penalties before. Everyone wants to take them. I felt confident in Mario, he has taken big penalties before and he got the nod.
Jordan should have taken the penalty. Rules are rules. It should have been Henderson. Mario has been a bit mischievous.
Credit to Mario, he's scored, but it's not nice to see when footballers are arguing. I think Jordan has handled the situation very well. He can see that Mario really wanted to score. Jordan walked away at the right moment and handled his post match interview very well.
Jordan is the captain and Mario showed Jordan a bit of disrespect there, but he's scored a very important goal. I think six or seven players would have wanted to take that penalty so if they all say they are taking it, what happens then?! Rules are in place for a reason.
People see him as that automatic next captain but that is not necessarily the case.
He is a young player and you have to go steady with Jordan. Everyone is trying to catapult him into the next Steven Gerrard and he is not that. I have said it many times, he is not that type of player. Jordan is a real honest boy, a hard-working player, a great team player.
Steven is a totally different player to that. He [Henderson] is still young but it is not automatic he will be the next captain. But at this moment in time, when Steven doesn't play, he is working that role very well.

Which two American athletes would you compare those two? A cursory Wikipedia search leads me to the belief that it's like watching Stan Humphries and Erik Kramer host NFL coverage on Sky Sports.DLew On Roids said:Loved--LOVED--the crying by the Two Robbies on NBCSN about the Mignolet incident.

Yeah, but there's not a two hour time difference, and most people don't play 90+ minute soccer matches on both sides of flying down for a weekend at Sloppy Joe's.soxfan121 said:Boston to Key West, FL and back is ~3400 miles.

Well, that's a normal night for normal English teams traveling to Istanbul. LFC, on the other hand...Morgan's Magic Snowplow said:Playing at Besiktas was no fun at all for Arsenal in the UCL qualifiers last August. Their pitch was total shit, their fans were absolute (likely knife carrying) lunatics, and their players flew at us at 100 mph from the opening whistle. We were absolutely flattered by the 0-0 scoreline, and ended the match with half our team physically battered and half on yellows, with Ramsey sent off.
It's actually a one-hour time difference, so you're now sitting on an 0-2 count.soxfan121 said:
Boston to Dallas is ~3200 miles, has the two hour difference and professional athletes in several sports complete this arduous journey of playing on both legs of a road trip several times a season. Plus, they have drinks at whatever the local equivalent of Sloppy Joe's is (Bosoxen will tell us) afterwards.
Point, America.

It's a shame Rossiter's out, he could have seen action at this point. If they registered him, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jordan Williams in the side.
