revs 3 red bulls 2, burpo's broken leg

the beautiful game. sometimes not. strangely the match between the revs and red bulls last night in Foxboro was both.

the ugly: revs' keeper Preston Burpo's horrific collision with Dane Richards, his tibia snapped, the sickening sound, the foot flapping in the air, Burpo waving to the sidelines before he even landed - I never wanted to see or hear that again after experiencing my own daughter's similar injury in a club match at Noble & Greenough back in '04.

the beautiful: Shalrie Joseph returns to the revs, leads them to victory, two beautiful assists. four great goals and one own goal by the red bulls.

regrouping now, getting ready for South Africa, our flight is Thursday. wondering if Sonya's titanium tibia will set off the metal detectors at all the various the airports we'll pass through - Logan, Atlanta, Jo-burg, Richards Bay, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town.
