First away game for me yesterday, had an awesome time. Awesome comeback from the guys against a Scum team that played super physical. RFK feels like a stadium from the Soviet Union.

Was considering going to the RB2 game today but I'm knackered.

Fuck Judder you were there? Damn. My bad man.

I was rolling with Pinto and Gerald most of the day yesterday.

We really didn't deserve a point yesterday. We played like garbage. Our shape was fucked and a possession in the midfield did not resemble the play we have had in previous games.

That's what I get for not checking this thread for a couple of days. Damn.

What bus did you take down, Mully?

Yeah, Tom with the glasses and Romero was sitting by the window. I was sitting in the middle seat right in the middle of the aisle thinking the extra leg room would help, forgetting that the bathroom door (Which started smelling like death by the time we left RBA on our way back into the city) would just swing into me every time someone went in there. I'm trying to do process of elimination now, haha, were you sitting next to Jose?

Haha, nah that was Pete. He was sitting in the last pair of seats right in front of the bathroom.

Did anyone look at the graphics during the highlights segment on ESPN? Before they showed the logo for Red Bulls they had a little flair that said "Super Metro"

Pretty cool.

Yeah. I'm probably gonna do the bus from Legends rather than head to Boi Na Brasa for that.

I take the bus from Legends too. I haven't checked out Boi Na Brasa yet, either. I'm in uptown Manhattan, much easier for me to take the Subway -> Bus (with Beer!) than to take the Subway -> PATH/NJT (It's why I didn't hit up El Pastor that often either. Sucked to see that place torn down yesterday.)

Historically bad? Eh. But they are pretty awful.

Petke joins ONE World Sports as on-air analyst

Former New York Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke is taking his talents to the broadcast booth, as he will join ONE World Sports as an on-air analyst and network contributor for New York Cosmos matches.

Petke will make his on-air debut with JP Dellacamera and Shep Messing on April 18 when the Cosmos host the Tampa Bay Rowdies in their first home match of 2015 at James M. Shuart Stadium.

“We are thrilled to have Mike join our growing team of on-air analysts and contributors to the network,” Joel Feld, ONE World Sports executive vice president, programming and production told PRWeb. “Mike’s two years as a head coach in MLS make him the ideal choice to add to our team. He has a unique, first person perspective that will be a benefit to fans watching the telecast.”

Ike Opara suffered an Achilles tendon rupture. No timetable for his return, but that injury usually requires 4-6 month recovery. #SportingKC

probably want to remove him from your fantasy teams.

shame. Thought he was playing better than Besler. Ideally EPB would get more time but I am guessing Vermes is going to stick with Ellis as his first choice.
Click to expand...

Yeah, Besler hasn't looked hot at all in the last couple months, Zusi too. Ever since the world cup really it's been spotty. Ike's been on fire recently.

I imagine it'll be Ellis, then EPB, then maybe Anibaba all rotating.

It's a bummer to hear about Opara. He had a ton of problems when he was at SJ, and it's too bad that his career has been derailed with consistent injuries.

Preview of tonight's US-Mex match:
For just the second time in 2015, the U.S. MNT is back on U.S. soil, where it has gone unbeaten in its last 20 matches. Now the team is set for 64th edition of the USA-Mexico rivalry, presented by AT&T, on Wednesday, April 15 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. CT and the game will be broadcast live on FOX Sports 1, UniMás and Univision Deportes Network. Fans can also follow along on Twitter via @ussoccer and @usssoccer_esp. The match, which occurs outside of the official FIFA international fixture window, will feature U.S. and Mexican rosters mostly comprised of players from the MLS and Liga MX.

Klinsmann has 22 players in San Antonio, including Michael Bradley, who has scored four career goals against Mexico, as well as eight other players from the 2014 FIFA World Cup Roster. The U.S. will be without the services of team captain Clint Dempsey, who is sidelined with a hamstring strain, and forward Jozy Altidore who is required to serve a one-match suspension following a red card he received in the USA’s last friendly, a 1-1 draw against Switzerland on March 31 in Zurich. The U.S. is riding a five-game unbeaten streak against Mexico (2-0-3) including, the USA’s first victory against Mexico at Estadio Azteca, and the 0-0 draw away in qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The U.S. has not lost to Mexico (2-0-3) since Jurgen Klinsmann took over the helm as head coach in the summer of 2011.

The teams last played just over a year ago on April 2, 2014 in a World Cup tune-up that ended in a 2-2 draw. In that game, Michael Bradley scored the game’s first goal and assisted on Chris Wondolowski’s strike. Rafael Marquez and Alan Pulido scored in the second half to rescue a draw for Mexico. Overall, the U.S. is 17-32-14 all-time against Mexico, and is 12-5-5 since 2000.
