Seattle Sounders MF Steve Zakuani suffered a serious injury in the 3rd minute of the Sounders 0-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids. Rapids MF Brian Mullan was shown a straight Red Card for the tackle. Early reports suggest Zakuani suffered a fractured right fibula and tibia and he is expected to remain in Denver for surgery.
Mullan is taking a lot of heat. Some of it is deserved. No reason for a tackle like that. However everyone in the MLS professional sphere, including folks like Kyle Martino and Brian Dunseth are saying Mullan is not a dirty player at all and is distraught, which I'm sure is true. We as supporters need to keep that perspective in mind, as I'm sure Mullan had no intention of causing injury.
Good luck to Z in his recovery, and thoughts go out to Mullan as well.
Match Thoughts coming soon.
