Lineups are out. No Driussi or Perreria, but basically what we rolled out 2nd half vs SKC. Pretty strong lineup all things considered!

Also Messi makes his first appearance for an MLS team in Miami's league cup game against Cruz Azul! That game starts at 7p.

We'll be watching that game after Austin so please no spoilers, hehe

Same, got it on record right now. Good looking out!

Edit: Also recording the USWNT game... long night ahead!

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did you watch it, the Miami game was nuts? Don't want to spoil it but worth the watch!

[–] Tankaus 1 points 2 years ago

Not yet, it's next on my list and I'm excited!

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago

Snap, that should be a good one as well!

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago

Messi with a strong start and the fans there are hyped as could be!

[–] Tankaus 3 points 2 years ago

Oh shit, wtf... that was very short lived.

[–] Tankaus 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, that wasn't great but cheers to MZT for playing a great game.

Until next time, lads!

Alright, let's see the back of the net boys!

[–] MassKirbycide 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hope Zardes is ok; this recent injury bug is ridiculous!

[–] Tankaus 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed... way too many going down over the past few weeks.

[–] betabob 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's the season of groin injuries

[–] Tankaus 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Suffered one myself when I played... hurt all season and it's just as bad as you may imagine, lol.

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it something in training that can help prevent these types of injuries?

[–] Tankaus 2 points 2 years ago

Personally, it was just a matter of being loose. So perhaps... I see some players half-ass warmups, which can certainly make a difference.

[–] Tankaus 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love Will Bruin, lol... swoll mf'er just banging heads out there.

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wouldn't mind seeing more of him instead of zardes

[–] Tankaus 2 points 2 years ago

He's a beast and always seems to be in the right place.

[–] Tankaus 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

DIEGO!! Hell yes! We'll take it!

[–] betabob 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was gonna say we're back again but that didn't last long...

[–] Tankaus 3 points 2 years ago

Barely 60 seconds, lol.

[–] Tankaus 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Son of a bitch... we had our chances but this just isn't our game. Can't sleep on these LMX teams.

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago

Feels like Haiti, just not putting in our top team. Also injuries. Not sure if we are taking these extra tournaments serious enough. Still only the group stage, but we gotta come back!

[–] Tankaus 2 points 2 years ago

Listos, verde! Let's go boys!

[–] Tankaus 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Slow start... definitely missing Seba and Perreria.

Edit: Or, "listless" as the commentators say, lol.

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Happy to see fagundez take Driussi's spot!

[–] Tankaus 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same! I've been watching him closely to see how he adapts... wondering how hard it may be to switch positions like that... like, does he drift over to the sideline too much? Maybe near the end of the game, just going on instinct or something, lol.

He's one of my favorites tho, so I'm down regardless!

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago

Absolutely my favorite player of the squad, just from style of play and positive attitude on the field

[–] betabob 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Tankaus 2 points 2 years ago

They said it right when I hit reply. :)

[–] Tankaus 1 points 2 years ago

Damn... that was a nice goal, too. Plenty of time to turn this around.

[–] Tankaus 1 points 2 years ago

Oh shit, here we go!
