CAHILL HEATING UP

For a second week, an out of form and out of his element Tim Cahill showed that the cream rises no matter what the circumstances may be.

Though the whistle clearly blew well before his game tying goal found the back of the net, his ability to create that danger only accentuates the types of positives he can bring to the table. Will be a garden hose, spraying balls to the top ala Guevara or Riquelme? Clearly not. What he does do, though, is make the most of his opportunities in the space provided.

To put it in NFL terms, Cahill is practically playing a “spy” linebacker role, but in an offensive capacity; he scans the field, reads runs, lays deep, and strikes when the chance happens to arise. He did it again on Sunday night.

And that method may work for this side.
