Troy Perkins - The Anti-Keller

I was able to watch a bit of the DC United - Kansas City Wizards game yesterday. And what I saw was pretty amazing: Troy Perkins made save after save, clearly earning man of the match honors. I can't begin to recount the number of turnovers in his defensive third, leading to great goal scoring opportunities for KC. Unlike what happened in the USA-Paraguay game when Keller was unable to cover-up for a huge blunder, Perkins made the saves on bad defensive miscues. (Greg Vanney, newly acquired from Colorado for Erpen, my least favorite member of the DCU defense, had an OK game, though he, too, turned the ball over a bit too easily on a couple of occasions.)
