solid. he is the veteran leader out there in the middle, but he wins balls in the air, he is matched up against their top players, richie had another solid game. the negative they don't get all three points at home, but what do you take from a positive standpoint. you're getting guys who are fit. raymon gaddis, joshua yaro progressing. the product on the field is better, they get to the 1-0 lead. they had trouble scoring goals and getting leads last year. that's a positive. jim curtin will give them a little bit of time off before he works them again for their next game which will be against the l.a. galaxy. that's it for us here, from talen energy stadium. final score, 1-1. thanks for watching us today,
