    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

There's the crappy defensive back pass... meh. 3-1 in the 54th.

That wasn’t necessarily true last season, so I’ll take it.

Full credit to Phil Neville making some effective halftime tactical changes for Miami.

Now we see if Wolff can adapt.

We’re lucky both those dudes whiffed on their header attempts.

Good teams usually are. I get we aren't playing KC or Seattle but 9-1 is impressive against any 2 teams in the league.

I don't disagree. Just tempering my expectations through the first three games.

The possession stats from last season didn’t lie. This team was just missing a finisher.

took 14 matches last season to tally a total of 10 goals.

Lima sucks. That yellow is good reason to sub Jimenez into the game.

I've been Team Jimenez since early last year. Lima probably has the edge on pure defending, but Jimenez is a much better on the attack.

Jiminez is a 12 year MLS vet, has played 201 regular season games with a whopping total of 7 goals, averaging less than a goal a year. I think we can manage without his offensive prowess. I think I like Lima better when healthy (he had the hammy last year).

Was at the game last night.  Had a blast

- Was sitting right at 18 yard box on side of Mota's free kick at end of half.  You could tell that he and Higuain were hatching something.  Almost paid off.  Great save by Stuv.

- Yedlin is a beast.  I love the guy when he plays for US, but he was a bit annoying last nightwith the gamesmanship.  Still, dude is built like a tank and was cool to see him in person.  

- Watched a lot of Keller in first half since he was right in front of me.  He seems really good notwithstanding the foul on Higuain.  Walker Zimmerman parallels?

- Man, does Pochettino's run last year look even worse now.  What a disaster of a designated player signing.

- Do they have a stat for rolling around after a tackle then getting up and returning to the game?  If so, Cecilio would lead the league I'm pretty sure.  Wish he'd cut that shit out.

- I really like Kolmanic

Zan is my favorite player hands down. I love a LB that can run up and down the sideline and deliver in swinging dimes with the left foot. Not bad at actually defending too!

In the postgame presser, Stuver called it the type of goal we gave up a lot last year. So yes, that.

Love yous somes Jordi Alba?

Where the fuck am I supposed to watch this? Just remembered that ESPN+ blacks the games out in Austin. 

Stuver's head-to-toe magenta lewk is certainly bold. 
At least his hair gel is immaculate.

Thanks. Perfect.

Starting to get burned on the counter.
Yeah, and not feeling good about the insistence to play short passes in tight spaces in our defensive third.

I feel better about this team than last year's team with that shit. Not great, but better.

D looks a little shaky but we're killing it on the other end. A goal is coming.

This team's creativity in the final 3rd is really impressive - especially for an MLS side. (However the finishing is still painfully MLS level at times)

The back 3/4 (whatever we're playing) still seems kind of shitty. But, you know, score 3 goals a game in this league and it doesn't matter that much.

That is just braindead both with the ball and without it from Cecilio.

That yellow on Driussi is why people don't take this league seriously. You already carded us, dickweed.
