A little bit of history

Repeating.

Just to explain the baseball cap post a little, Joe Cannon has some history with FC Dallas, back when he was goalkeeping for the Colorado Rapids. Twice in the past couple of years the two teams have met in the playoffs. Twice the game has come down to penalty kicks. Twice Colorado has been the lower-ranked team, but still defeated Dallas.

Anyway, this past loss turned downright ugly. While some Colorado players celebrated their win, others outright taunted Dallas fans and their goalkeeper, Dario Sala, lost it and started punching.

Joe Cannon was actually a peacemaker in the incident, holding off Sala.

I was also kidding about Sala being heroic - at least for me. While I'm all for passion in the sport, I'm not in favor of fights.
