We came out flat with 3 games in 9 days and tried to roll into town with our B team and steal a win. We are a pretty decent team, but our margin of error isnt that great.
That was just painful to watch. Thankfully, their supporters club was super awesome before the game, and even bought us a beer.
Yeah, it was crazy. The gf and I walked into their pub and they all looked over and started yelling welcome. They invited us to go on their bus for the road trip to skc and gave us free breakfast tacos. One of them then offered to lead us to the stadium, and when we got there, he bought us beer pounders. He then offered for us to come to Surly for the after party.
Yeah. He was the rookie that had the double post PK vs the timber 2 yrs ago. He was really good last year. In preseason when it was clear Zusi was moving there I heard in a podcast SAS was ranked as a top 5 RB last year according to some advanced metric rating system I didn't recognize.
And yeah, Vermes tried to go the Popovich route and rest multiple guys, basically taking the loss, instead of spreading it out. Let's see how that goes in the next couple games.
This sideline girl/color commentary sucks all the dick. I don't think she has gone a game without messing up
Why do we look super awesome sexy tits one game and then look like beer league soccer players the next? Is it our schedule?
6th game in 22 days I think. We elected not to play during international breaks so we'll have these packed runs. I would of rather just played all subs and hoped for a result like FCD did to us earlier this year. Our top 11 is elite in the league but we lack the quality depth that some other sides have.
It's stupid that the league even lets teams decide. Also once EPB is available he should start over Ellis.
I've watched that same exact game against them in that stadium a dozen times it seems. Twice in person. Pathetic way to play. No wonder they have no fans.
Lot of smoke between EPB and PSG. Something along the lines of Portos scouting director is now at PSG and wants to bring EPB in. I just want to see the kid suit up for us once in a meaningful game and not an awful situation (3 man backline outta nowhere).
Is it working? back to fucking poker now again. here's a stream if it doesn't come back up: http://www.usagoals.xyz/c/football/2090923/2/san-jose-earthquakes-vs-kansas-city-live-stream/
Uh yeah. Too many chances not to get 3 there. As an aside, I've been a casual observer of SKC for about 6 years now and this may be arguably the most fun to watch team they've had during that span.
Anyone know what the current word is with EPB? Is he fully fit? I can't take Ellis for the next few weeks if he's our only option. I hope we roll with Rubio up front during the entire int break. I just want to see what he can do with getting 300ish minutes in a month.
EPB played the last 20 mins of the open cup match on Wed. Hopefully we get him and Ike as the CB duo today.
I forgot to post, we cut Igor and signed a winger from Barca B named Christian Lobato. Has played everywhere but CB and GK but will play the opposite wing of Gerso. Pacey and good touch, a created not a finisher. Will allow us to move Medranda to midfield for depth and to get Roger more time on the bench.
Fuuuuuuuck. SAS, Saad and Ellis in for the three missing guys. Where are EPB and Rubio???? Rest of the lineup regular.
Ilie will straight murder a man on the pitch. You see him getting pushed down @ the beginning when the cameras focused on Benny. My guess is Gooch was being a bitch and baited him pretty good. Guessing he'll miss a match or two.
Ike was released from KU med with a grade 3 concussion. Will enter concussion protocol, good thing we don't play till the 22nd.
Hooray for me getting to watch the RSL broadcast on MLS live. What? Half of the away broadcast have had to deal with this shit?
