Here’s a fun fact about that guy. Edited October 2, 20214 yr by skittlebrau
October 2, 20214 yr Wtf Gaines. Put the game away there. Yup. Tiny chip square and it's a tap-in... but that's the final. 2-1 to the good guys.
October 2, 20214 yr Fun game to attend, shady and comfy on the west side. Spent a lot of pregame in the beer garden, watching UT and enjoying the scenery. Good to bring home the win. Annoyed that Cecilio scored both, but I’ll take it.
October 2, 20214 yr Big win boys! The sun was merciless on the east side today. My daughter and I got out of the sun and chanted it up with Los Verdes. It was fun and a great view of the second goal. VERDE!

October 5, 20214 yr Ceci trying to win our love through any means necessary. The braids didn't last long.
October 12, 20214 yr We did a little WolffIn vs WolffOut on the podcast this week. https://www.moontowersoccer.com
October 17, 20214 yr We arent very good, but we’re fun to watch. Great attacking team, just not good at finishing.
October 17, 20214 yr Beautiful night. Mediocre game. Terrible officiating. But the failure to close is maddening. And Cecilio is a momentum-killer. He’s get fed the ball in the corner of the box….and it just dies. He sits in it, let’s the defense get set, and the attack dies. Over and over.
October 17, 20214 yr It's a beautiful night at Q2. Anyone else here? I was along with the force field on the goal. It’s amazing how they can’t finish. Like the yips in golf

He’s get fed the ball in the corner of the box….and it just dies. He sits in it, let’s the defense get set, and the attack dies. Over and over.Twice, he received the ball in the left at the edge of the box. He was against two defenders who were in the box. Instead of driving forward and trying to draw a penalty kick, he pivots around out of the box and passes it away to Minnesota. On another play, his shot was blocked and he instantly turned his back and faced the crowd with his hands on his face mourning his miss while the ball was fumbled just waiting for an easy follow up kick. Just infuriating lack of basic soccer intelligence.

Just infuriating lack of basic soccer intelligence. This. Several of those happened right in front of me, and I was yelling at him by name - “fucking SHOOT! Or pass! NOW!” I guess I need to yell in Spanish next time, because he can sure as shit hear me.The “futz around in the box” thing isn’t unique to him, but he’s the worst. Pochettino did it too on the shot he took at the south end. Whirl around and shoot on the first touch, blind. You know the goal - which is big AF - is right there. Yes, you’re not set, and won’t know exactly where it’s going….BUT NEITHER WILL THE KEEPER. If I was coach, I’d spend half of every practice on one-touch shots. Just take them. I don’t care if you miss. Just take them. They need to learn that a shot with 30% accuracy, when the keeper is only 20% set, is a winning combination.
October 21, 20214 yr I think the Oaks are playing San Jose now. I can’t find the game on tv or online. Guess I’ll try to find it on radio. Fuck.
October 21, 20214 yr The game doesn't start until 9:30 CST. I don't imagine I'll watch past halftime.
October 21, 20214 yr Yeah it's late. I just found out I can watch it on the hulu along with several past games. I couldn't find it anywhere else.
October 21, 20214 yr Yeah it's late. I just found out I can watch it on the hulu along with several past games. I couldn't find it anywhere else.It's on KNVA. 1012 on uverse. Same place it always is... regardless of not showing on the guide.
October 21, 20214 yr It's on KNVA. 1012 on uverse. Same place it always is... regardless of not showing on the guide. Thanks, I'd rather hear our local announcers.
October 21, 20214 yr There is a flag or drum for all twelve of the people in their supporters section.
October 21, 20214 yr Romana is a beast in the back. I got to see him close Saturday in the first half. Absolutely everything that came near him was dealt with. He didn't lose out in anything in the air and was solid 1-on-1.Glad we have him.

October 21, 20214 yr Glad that I went to bed at halftime. Wow. In two games FC has given up 7 points to SJ in the second half.
October 21, 20214 yr Yep, glad I tuned out for the 2nd half and watched What We Do in the Shadows instead. An infinitely better time.
October 21, 20214 yr i've done a 180 on cecilio. he has fantastic skill and a great motor but he kills attacks more than he contributes. fagundez on the sideline missed three chances in the first half to play the ball through to djitte on his second touch. instead he took a few more than necessary allowing SJ to get back on defense before advancing the attack. biggest difference between european leagues and the MLS. drives me nuts.
October 21, 20214 yr Diego’s worst game last night. Eric Goodman asked Wolff if the team quit last night. Josh told him that was a bullshit question. Probably the highlight of the evening. Edited October 21, 20214 yr by skittlebrau

The problem with Romana is that he's good for an epic blooper every two games or so, where his mistakes directly lead to goals from either completely whiffing on a tackle or making a terrible pass.

This. I'm glad he was there when Matt Besler fell out, but it scares me every time he gets the ball. He's actually stronger at reactionary defense than he is if he has a little time, IMHO.
October 22, 20214 yr Yeah the passing out of the back has taken a serious nosedive since besler has been out. It really restricts our ability to move the ball forward quickly and teams generally can get into a decent defensive shape before we’re anywhere threatening with the ball. So much of our offense has been from unexpected turnovers in the middle third.
