Least comfortable 2-0 lead I’ve seen in a while. Hopefully we can hang on in the second half!

Our offense has generally looked better of late (glad Finlay is finally starting over Rigoni), but lord help our CBs. Ring is good at cleaning up messes, but he’s not as good at marking and maintaining a flat line as we need. Cascante isn’t the best transition marker either, so we are going to be very vulnerable on crosses until we plug that hole. Here’s to hoping we pour in goals and put things out of reach early!
In general, yes; however, that leg up in most of our sports leagues is through player drafts. Since most good players in soccer don’t go through US college athletics, that usual leg up doesn’t mean nearly as much.
And yeah, you’re right on the money on the teams vs leagues thing; the leagues in most US sports tend to wield quite a bit of power over franchises, and negotiate labor contracts directly with player unions. MLS is a wonky outlier in many ways (largely because America doesn’t have a near-monopoly on top talent like it does in some other sports), but the league itself is definitely seen as a priority over any one club.
That was me for most of my playtime so far, and then BOOM! Two nightmare dungeons in a row he showed up and wrecked my shit before I could even get going.
Still need more back there (I already miss Rado), but at least we have another body.
Yeah, if you open up the match in the Apple TV+ app and scroll down, there should be a “How to Watch” section that mentions “2 versions”. Open that up and you can choose between the recap and the full match.
Head for The Continental Hotel and hope the rules hold up.
Whirlwind Barb has been fun (trying to maximize spin uptime while unloading tons of damage), but optimizing it and maximizing the fun is way too dependent on a ring drop that I have yet to find (Bold Chieftan).
Ggs to Miami. Stuver really saved our asses a few times there! We really need an answer at CB to pair with Cascante; Ring seemed badly out of sync defensively and it cost us on that goal.
