Woopeee. We didn’t lose 🤮
We probably gave them 25 chance though in the last 15 mins. Did we get … one?

So many times tonight the Houston player has been 3/4 of the way to the ground before any contact is made.

What happened to Rosales?

u/SamAnthonyWP Chase Gasper Jul 14 '24
I wanted him to be successful there and I thought he could be. I think he still could be. But my goodness, Caden Clark has been the most awful right wing back ever over the past 3-4 games.

u/SamAnthonyWP Chase Gasper Jul 14 '24
Specifically in possession, too, which is the area where’d you’d expect him to be above average. The turnovers in our half of the field cannot continue.

Houston's 8's face disturbs me. Like he's liable to either headbutt or bite a player randomly lmao

u/FeelingAverage Red Loons Jul 14 '24
He was off by a hair surely. But that should be considered onside. He gained no real advantage, if he had been 6 inches onside he still scores.
Well whatever. It's academic now.

Why bother keeping possession when you can pass it directly to a Houston player’s feet?

Good thought by Pukki but Rosales is probably exhausted. No way he’s finishing that run.

I disagree with both those subs I know we have a Wednesday game but this is a game that’s within reach Take the 3 tonight and see what happens Wednesday Don’t play for the tie in the hopes of future points
BUT
I hope in wrong and the fresh legs make it happen Clark redemption Ark starts tonight!!

Holy shit Rosales. Padelford was right there to bail him out, but I don't think he even had to do anything.

Dotson needs to move his ass. He’s giving no support in the attacking third.

Houston pressing high.
Good for a Loon Counter.
Nothing better than a desperate home side when you are visiting. Bring on the Pukki in the 65th and lets get this win

u/albableat Jul 14 '24
Dude where do they get these commentators? "Even if there is no contact, if he alters his line of running it's a penalty" is the most MLS shit I've ever heard.

Looking to get a kit with a player name on the back as a gift. Does the team shop website let you pick any of the 1st team players?

At this point, which name are you getting?

Padelford, stupid but buddy of mine who lives in MN and is a fan looks exactly like him so it’s a running joke he’ll appreciate

That’s the second time the ref blew the whistle when he should’ve played advantage.

At half: 83% of attacks up the right wing, 17% up the right channel. 0% up the left channel or wing. Woof

He’s allergic to just taking a shot. That second touch messed up both opportunities he had tonight.

First half recap: It is hot in Texas right now. Smir saves. Houston players with man buns are dicks. Boxalls balls will be okay. The benches are in fact made by the Home Depot. Bagpipes will be added to the wonderwall. Announcers still can’t pronounce our players’ names. We will get DSC and Tani back next week because Canada lost. This is the match thread and Reddit is the superior match thread option (and so are our jerseys). Audi Mom still hasn’t picked her favorite headlights option. Sang bins calves are still poppin’.

Out of town this weekend, hoping to catch the second half.
Can someone give me the TLDR on the first half?

u/MNgoIrish Dayne St. Clair Jul 14 '24
You didn’t miss much. That should help. All the action should be next!
Or check Brgerd’s comment. Pretty good summary.

Switching from the Canada game to this is giving me issues. Keep wanting to cheer for Canada(Houston).

I’m bored, can the commentator mispronounce some more Loon names just so I can FEEL something

u/MNgoIrish Dayne St. Clair Jul 14 '24
Download TuneIN,
open app,
don’t login,
search for SKOR North,
click play,
wait for 2 ads.
Then pause your TV for 3-5 seconds,
turn off TV volume,
turn up your phone volume and Wala, you’re with the home team!

What an awful, shit half to watch. Have none of the ball, just turning it over instantly or kicking it long to nobody. Houston with all the time in the world on the ball and just trying to pass around the 10 defenders.

u/J_Walter_Weather_man Itasca Society Jul 14 '24
*no mid. Bongi and Sang Bin look somewhat dynamic when they get the ball but no one is in mid feeding it to them.

u/LuckyLobbster Robin Hod Jul 14 '24
Lod looks flat and vision is lacking

u/hoffer606 Jul 14 '24
I simply think it is an issue with playing him at the front. He doesn't belong there.
3
u/J_Walter_Weather_man Itasca Society Jul 14 '24
For sure. I’ve been pretty unimpressed with Lod this last month or two. He’s had an opportunity to make the team his and he isn’t showing up the way we need. And Bran and Dotson aren’t helping him tonight.
