Hahahahaah, that's hilarious Austin player shoved Ocampo and droped to the ground himself.

Sabaly coming in for 10 minutes to lose the ball 3 times and almost give a penalty away was pretty funny.

As is normal Yohei is putting up one of the team’s best performances
He’s been a key part of our success the last few years 🤝

White is both allergic to and addicted to goals, at alternating times. It’s infuriating watching his failed finishes right now

She clearly told Gauld to "...act like a leader" when he was talking to her. The fuck?

Almost too good to be true lol, scoring in the opening minute like that! Opposite of the LAFC game.

caicedo been much better than sabbi so far today, caps should keep attacking down that wing.

u/ChasingPirates69 4h ago
Tater made a last ditch tackle around 10ish min which pretty much was going to be a goal. I can forgive him. Shit happens.

MLS is a joke of a league… third league in Spain is better.

u/IceeSlyce 4h ago
Then dont watch. The progress the leagues made in the last 10/15 years is exciting for me. North American soccer on the world stage is a child comparatively. But its growing

u/Ktowncanuck 4h ago
So I gotta say, in my opinion this team isn't going to make a deep run. The goals have dried up.

u/Ok_Advantage_3986 5h ago
At least we have learned that female refs can be just as biased and incompetent as many of the male ones. Just pathetic to watch this level of reffing.
Anyway. Take Sabbi off at half. Probably keep Tater on but holy shit that was trash.

It’s utterly bizarre how connected this team is from goal out but so bafflingly disconnected as soon as they get into the 18yd box

Are we playing these corners to the near post on purpose? It feels like it's every single time
1
u/quaywest 5h ago
I think it's because they find we continually get out jumped on a traditional corner. We don't have a lot of height. But these near post and short corners just look so bad, I can't fathom a traditional corner would be any worse. At least get the ball between the posts.

Am I saying Takaoka’s name wrong? Is it pronounced Taki oka?

u/Sad_Establishment875 5h ago
Nope, this guy just has no interest in saying Takaoka's name properly, pretty wildly disrespectful if we're being honest.

u/quaywest 5h ago
Is it just me or has the audio been off in both the last 2 games? The mic in front of the supporters section is seemingly turned way up, drowning everything else out including the announcers. Exactly the same in the LAFC game.
3
u/Fafner333 5h ago
It's a long standing problem. I've seen worse. This game isn't actually that bad. Whoever they hired as a producer is clinically deaf.
3
u/quaywest 5h ago
I'm surprised I've never noticed this before. I agree it's not as bad now but I think it's only because the supporters section has quieted down.
I swear I can hear the same 5 guys in the front row, better than I can hear the announcers.
2
u/Fafner333 5h ago
It varies. Some games are balanced right some are not and some are totally wacky. So depends on which game you watched.
2
u/quaywest 5h ago
Yeah for some reason I only just noticed it last game, and now this game seems the same.
