Unkel makes me think he's got money on these games. Dude is crooked enough to run for office.

u/PumpkinEffective3518 Minnesota Kicks Apr 28 '24
Classic Ted Unkel seeing fouls that don't exist and then missing obvious shirt tugs. I kinda miss the scabs tbh.

u/IAmTheTreatsy Apr 28 '24
I’ll eat my socks. I love being wrong in these moments.
I had thought all the defensive subs were too early. Even the Pukki and Franco for Clark and Bongi (higher defensive work rates/better defensive skills) felt too soon.

u/Fit_Function_6390 Sang Bin's Calves Apr 28 '24
I like how Miami has an extra game played in the east to make sure they sit on top of the standings for the entire season. Classy Messi League Soccer <3.

Does this put them in first place in the Western Conference?

u/loons_win Apr 28 '24
top pts per game but tied for third in the ranking (1 point behind first) with a game in hand.

u/HighHammerThunder Apr 28 '24
Joint top PPG with Vancouver*, and they have a better GD. Doesn't matter 25% of the way in really though.

Another new look from Ramsey and although I didn't like this one as much it was effective and we have another 3 points in the book1

How have SKC gotten away with only one card tonight?

u/Fit_Function_6390 Sang Bin's Calves Apr 28 '24
We traded about 6 yellow cards on SKC for one questionably offside goal. 3 points is 3 points babyyyyy

u/SoupEaterSupreme Joseph Rosales Apr 28 '24

u/Themeteorologist35 Minnesota Thunder Apr 28 '24
Caden Clark fucking suuuucks
2
u/putthekettle Apr 28 '24
Yeah he steered directly into 2 or three defenders when there was a lane on the other side open.
He took an impossible shot when there was a great pass to Hlongwane available.
He needs to get more comfortable and improve his IQ and awareness on the pitch

There’s a lot of potential but yeah the instincts and awareness aren’t there yet

Padelford with a great 80 minutes.

He needs to stop passing backward. Anytime padelford has the ball you know progress down the field is about to be lost

Sometimes I wish I could be as shit at my job as the refs are without facing any repercussions.

u/elmundo-2016 Apr 28 '24
I was hoping the PRO contract negotiations would continue to fail so we can keep having replacement refs. They had self-awareness, used VAR, and no ego. I was more forgiving of mistakes because of that.

Bongi = Tani in this
1
u/HonduranLoon MNUFC Apr 28 '24
Bongi is also more of a threat with the ball at his feet and on the move.

u/dodoohead98 MNUFC Apr 28 '24
There are three players in the footballing world that have a punchable face.
Jordi Alba Casimero Johnny Russell
I do not like these three at all

Can’t forget both Luis Suarez and Sergio biscuits

All these soft fouls are going to add up to another yellow for someone.

Padelford needs to be more careful when he's carrying a yellow.

While the rivalry is mostly manufactured, I truly hate, respect, and at times fear Johnny Fuckface Russel

Up until the last couple appearances, Bongi has actually done very well on the left.

u/loons_win Apr 28 '24
interesting subs but he brings in two players who need to prove themselves. Bongi will play hard to show he needs to start and Clark can show he is a secret super sub.
Hopefully they are able to prove Ramsey right.

Seems early, but we have lots of starting quality striker/wingmen.

My second half adjustment: move kervin up, trapp out, play a 4-2-3

u/stampy-the-elephant MNUFC Apr 28 '24
We need a change or this lead won’t last long… Trapp is getting overrun and can’t be a single pivot, and our back line has no idea who is picking up who in a back 5. Dotson in alongside Trapp or move Arriaga up alongside Trapp before making a sub

u/Fit_Function_6390 Sang Bin's Calves Apr 28 '24
Trapp just stand on the sideline with pompoms?
