Poor Petke, nothing is going to plan.

It's the nature of the game. Not sure why you guys don't just move on.

I'm sure everyone has moved on from Petke, but I don't think anybody expected this kind of start from Marsch.

And I'm not sure why people don't understand that Petke was more than a coach. He symbolized the only thing that made the club feel like a club with history, and a club with local roots. He instilled a sense of pride in the team which I've never seen any coach do previously. For a team named after an energy drink, that shit matters.

mehhh. aim for higher than that lol

NYRB II drew Rochester 0-0 yesterday.

Castano seemed solid, Stolz missed a PK

 

[B-Dubs]

I also don't remember the last time we've started this well.

Poor Petke, nothing is going to plan.

I like how we've started and it's enough to quiet down everyone, but if we don't make it past the first round or two of the playoffs everything will just wind up resetting to where it was before the season started.

He should just take that DC job for now.

Plus it's how the whole thing went down.

Henry still at it.

Ryan Babel blows it... that guy has fallen so far, Liverpool to Hoffenheim to Ajax to... Kasimpasa? 43 caps for Netherlands by age 24 and none since.

 

[B-Dubs]

Henry still at it.

Goddamn I miss him so much...

 

[sazabirules]

Seattle and Dallas set a league record last night. It was the first match with no shots on goal.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Y'all ready for the shitshow

At least this game should feature one shot on goal

Bonus Henry smilies:

 

[Meier]

Harry Shipp is off to a nice start this season. Amarikwa could stand to do better.

 

[TheVisualizer]

the Union are so shit

that is all

 

[Delicious Waffles]

the Union are so shit

that is all

Agreed. Let's keep it that way.

Also, Red Bull Gaf, if I wanted to join a supporter's club, which one would you recommend?

 

[TheVisualizer]

Agreed. Let's keep it that way.

I dont think u have to worry about that changing anytime soon

 

[Azuran]

that is all

Welcome to the club! The sooner you admit your team will be terrible for years and years to come, the better you will be. Eventually that frustration and disappointment turns into laughter so it all works out in the end.

How long do I have to endure the frustration and disappointment before I get to the laughter?

Its been 5 years already

Edit: lololol at that red

Edit: the laughter happened!!! Yasss

 

[xbhaskarx]

Philly Union would make Rocky proud

 

[Cystm]

How can he slap

Spoiler

my man Shipp?

Depends on your lifestyle really.

Viking Army is pro-Red Bull (even the company), very friendly, bro-ish type group, jagerbomb city

ESC is varied, accepts everyone, is about tradition, good people that go back to the 90's with the club and team. They're the most accessible but their politics have come across as spineless to me lately. If you're pro-Metro go all out, not this in between shit they're doing

GSU is pro-NJ, pro-Red Bull, yet left-wing politics (?). They seem all about being contrarian to the wishes of ESC but they have their merits if you associate with alternative lifestyles. Their group is mostly based around the NJ rock scene and maybe NY. They're the most violent group of the bunch and some of them aspire to be hooligans in the 80's in England sense.

 

[Meier]

Viz is my boy but hope the Fire can hold on for a CS. Need my points.

 

[B-Dubs]

Stay away from the Viking guys, they're straight up nuts.

 

[Cystm]

Chicago holding possession about as well as the USMNT in the second half.

 

[xbhaskarx]

It's a crime that Harry Shipp doesn't have three assists (thanks Igboanike and Stephens) today... pretty much sums up everything that's currently wrong with the US national team (and Klinsmann) that he's never been called in at any level.

 

[Cystm]

Viz is my boy but hope the Fire can hold on for a CS. Need my points.

Seriously. I need another goal/assist from Shipp.

 

[Meier]

Philly played pretty well after going down to 10. Chicago should have had a second there in the 86th or so but they didn't seem to have a man advantage for most of the rest of that time.

Thanks for the insight, guys. Appreciate it.

Thing is, I don't get out to many games so I don't know if joining a group is worth it at this time. Last season, I was only able to get out to RBA to see them face Columbus. I'd like to be a STH down the road though.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

the Union are so shit

that is all

the hiring of curtin makes complete sense now. he's cheap, young, and eager, and makes an excellent fall guy for when the team is garbage and the FO doesn't want to shoulder any blame.

Is Nick Sack still the GM?

Dude is the worst.

 

[zroid]

hahaha Jaime

that was pathetic

 

[xbhaskarx]

#USMNT's Gold Cup group is set. Honduras joins Panama, Haiti, USA in Group A after 3-0 playoff second-leg win over French Guiana (4-3 agg.)

 

[Meier]

Ouch. Big decision against TFC there.

 

[Cystm]

Yeah. That was not a foul. Bradley is probably fuming mad somewhere.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Sucks for Toronto, bad calls in two games have cost them already.

 

[zroid]

Pretty much this:

 

[B-Dubs]

Pretty much this:

That or Bradley's gonna have to make an example of one. Either way, Toronto has some shitty luck.

EDIT: TIE GAME! Now that's a nice goal!

 

[Cystm]

Toronto deserved that and more. Should be 2-1.

Edit: :lol

 

[zroid]

that was nice by Dike

edit: lol welp

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh fuck that shit dude, poor Toronto got fucked there.

 

[xbhaskarx]

The last five minutes have been insane lol

Olmes Garcia blowing it by not passign to Sandoval

Dike to Jackson (good to see Dike back)

Sandoval to Morales to Allen (19 year old hgp)

 

[Azuran]

For fucks sake. I give up

 

[B-Dubs]

Holy shit, how did no one get on the end of that?

 

[zroid]

all other stupidity aside, Giovinco is really good

 

[xbhaskarx]

Good to see kids like Allen and now Saucedo getting a chance...

Holy shit, how did no one get on the end of that?

Are you not familiar with Robbie Findley

 

[Azuran]

Screwed by the ref and choking a result in the last 5 minutes.

Just another typical TFC game. Fans of other teams don't know how good they have it.

 

[Cystm]

Toronto have been getting robbed like every single game by MLS refs.

 

[Meier]

Morales is a beast.

 

[B-Dubs]

Toronto have been getting robbed like every single game by MLS refs.

What the hell could Toronto have done to piss the refs off this bad?

 

[xbhaskarx]

Well that was definitely the game of the week, just based on all the drama at the end. Hell just watching Morales and Giovinco was worth it.
