I don’t know. This goalie doesn’t seem bad.

And that shot brought a jolt:

    Right after the game I had to go take a piss so I didn't burst once we got on the train.  Walking against the grain of the crowd coming towards me and I notice Claudio Reyna, in a suit, a phone to his

    That. Was fucking. NUTS. Wildly frustrated that we couldn’t put more than one in with a man advantage, but my frustration didn’t appear to help them. My wife had a conflict, so I took one of my olde

Damn that would have been an amaaazing shot

Oh my god that had heat on it 

Shitty effort there but that 1st shot could have been in the net. Nice cross from the opposite side.

Lol that was a pen or at least a free kick there and holy shit how do you miss that 

Serious question for the soccer experts here: should I be feeling really good about this team? Because I'm feeling really good about this team.

absolutely.  we're showing a cohesiveness that's rare across even teams who have played together for years.  these guys are precise in their passing and movement and we're SMART.  our defense has holes and our GK needs to mature into his role but he has major talent.  also we've gotten lucky with opponents not converting really really good opportunities but that's how soccer goes.

lol ring's thinking if he doesn't get up he can't be booked.

Really because that was a pretty dumbass decision

Yeah....that was dumb. Pointlessly over-aggressive.

hah yeah.  that was bad. 

So no Ring next week against LA Galaxy, either. Really need to buckle down and preserve this lead.

That's kind of what my novice eye noticed too. Good possession, holes in the defense, but we've made it through.

And now, ffffuuuuuccccckkkkkkk

i don't like cecilio coming off, he's a good tackler and he's dangerous on the counter.  shouldn't be a fitness question so this is puzzling to me.

i know we're down a man but we are way too narrow.

I do not feel great about next week given opponent, Ring not playing, and some luck balancing out.   If they get a result next week this team is for real.  

Fuck. It’s like you could feel that coming. This is an offense vs defense game.

Be nice if a couple of Oaks stepped under and created a counterattack.

That was inevitable.

I sure would like the draw.
Sure would've been nice... new team, down a man... isn't surprising, sadly.

That we’re gonna take the L sucks. That it’s in large part on our veteran captain is really bothersome.

Ring isn’t going to have many friends this evening 

Anyone got a link to the Ring foul? I've been on the road coming back from West Texas and have only seen the last 15 minutes.

the austinFC app should have the complete replay.  it's the 67th minute i think where he picked up the second yellow.  he also had another a few minutes before that which should've been a yellow. 

 

romana and cascante are such liabilities in the box.  kolmanic-besler-romana-lima is a decent attacking look but on defense gives us absolutely nothing.  i was watching the right side so didn't see it, but where was besler playing?  was he shading over towards kolmanic?  he was very noticeably absent in the defensive 3rd.

 

agh would've been nice if we could've held on but bunkering in shallow and narrow for 27 minutes was never going to work.  we're an offensive team, our strength is ball control.  should have helped our defense by continuing to play our game and applying pressure upfield.  we were lucky KC didn't score 4 or 5.

Edited by gsoda3

KC was the better team most of the match. WAY more great chances. Smart touches, not many shitty passes or mistakes, compared to Austin.

But some lights out keeper play, and some aggressive attacks when the opportunity presented itself kept this a game that, but for losing Ring, we probably draw, maybe even win.

But your veteran captain has to do better. That was inexcusable.

Furk. The loss sucks. I haven’t lost the grin, though.

Yeah, I turn it on to see us 10 players down, watching all the missed goals, and thinking: "Holy shit! They maybe, maybe, maybe hang on... furk. How pissed do I need to be with this Finnish guy?

The foul itself doesn’t tell the story, he had about 2 or 3 heavier fouls leading up to that call and had a talking to by the ref. It was a softer foul, but given his constant physical play, the ref eventually pulled out the card.

The foul was dumb, but given what was being seen, why didn’t Wolff sub Ring off? He clearly was playing really dumb a while before that foul. Leaving him out there was just asking for trouble. And now he’s gone next week too.

As dumb as he was playing, I would say pretty pissed.

Thanks. Once it's posted on the app, I'll go back and watch the full match. I've already seen the Gallagher goal on replay but would like to try and experience the push/pull of the game. Soccer's like that - you've got to see the uninterrupted flow to really get the feel of it.
