what a fucking betrayal to the fans. momentum is key going into next season, but i guess they already got their renewals so fuck us i guess, we gotta see if the 23rd man on the bench is gonna pan out.

Here’s a fun fact about that guy.

    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

Verde!

Cecilio with the rebound.

1-nil Austin in the 17th!

Verde!

Cecilio with a brace!

Fagundez with a great cross.

Dos a cero in the 55th!

Classic standing-around defense for ATX. 2-1 in the 64th.

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.

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.

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!

Verdad! 

I thought that was a great performance yesterday, possibly their most cohesive game of the season.  The score won't show it but it could have easily been 4-1. 

Ceci trying to win our love through any means necessary. The braids didn't last long.

We arent very good, but we’re fun to watch. Great attacking team, just not good at finishing.

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.

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

Was thinking the same thing about killing any momentum etc.

Nice night and was fun. I go into the game expecting a loss so it’s not a kick in the nuts like UT or Astros

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks, I'd rather hear our local announcers.

There is a flag or drum for all twelve of the people in their supporters section.

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.

No doubt. Because Cascante and Lima on the other side are terrifying.

Glad that I went to bed at halftime.  Wow.  In two games FC has given up 7 points to SJ in the second half.

Yep, glad I tuned out for the 2nd half and watched What We Do in the Shadows instead. An infinitely better time.

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.  

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.

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.

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.
