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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] betabob 2 points 1 year ago

Snap, that should be a good one as well!

[–] betabob 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Tankaus 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Tankaus 3 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tankaus 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] betabob 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the season of groin injuries

[–] Tankaus 3 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

Wouldn't mind seeing more of him instead of zardes

[–] Tankaus 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] betabob 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tankaus 3 points 1 year ago

Barely 60 seconds, lol.

[–] Tankaus 2 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Listos, verde! Let's go boys!

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

Slow start... definitely missing Seba and Perreria.

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

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

Happy to see fagundez take Driussi's spot!

[–] Tankaus 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

They said it right when I hit reply. :)

[–] Tankaus 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Tankaus 1 points 1 year ago

Oh shit, here we go!
