The first half was as solid a road display as anyone could hope for, especially at Red Bull Arena... the commercial showing where the old BMO Field turf was replanted... Jacob “Sprinty” Shaffelburg giving New York’s right-back fits throughout the first half... Jozy Altidore’s side-footed, cross-field pass to “Sprinty” in the 14th minute... Omar Gonzalez’s head (but see “bad”, below)... Altidore’s chip in the 20th (I’m still not convinced that Jozy was offside)... the four pass sequence that led to Sprinty’s chance in the 44th (great save by Luis Robles)... Quentin Westberg’s save in the 63rd on Brian White.
