Dropped two more points to LAFC this weekend and they have a game in hand.  Pretty comfortably ahead of third place Dallas so we can get a home game in playoffs, but supporters shield looking tougher and tougher even if we win in two weeks.  Need 3 points next week, no excuses.  

We over-performed the first half of the season and they didn't. They are easily the best team in MLS and barring a bunch of WTF results should take the shield by a couple of games I think.

Fair.  It's just fun to be pissed off about something like that for an Austin professional sports team.

Yep it's been a fun season. And there's still a lot to play for.

Whether he plays or not. Should be electric.

Happy to see Valencia on the roster and off the injury list.

¡Listo!

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Looking a little casual in the back 1/3... need to tighten that shit up.

[Chips O'Toole 1,326]

Scary foul by Ring, damn.

We're at home. Always an uphill battle. 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

We're at home. Always an uphill battle. 

Even more so now. Ugh.

Whole buncha standing around there.

[ztejas 43,502]

Might as well give them a pk. 

[ztejas 43,502]

Gallagher painting his Last Supper out here. 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Well that kinda sucked.

[ztejas 43,502]

Lima can actually take a bus to fucking Canada. What a worthless piece of shit. 

[ztejas 43,502]

Obviously the roster needs a little help but I'm starting to question Wolff at this point. How do we come out this dickless every fucking game at home?

[ztejas 43,502]

It's like we've never seen a super low line and aggressive counter. 

[A-Tex Devil 2,451]

Perreira, Lima, and Cascante need to sit a while.  Move Ring back to 6 or play Valencia.  Former seems better so we can add Rigoni.  Our RB situation is bad because Jiminez isn’t much better. 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Verde! Gallagher gets one back!

[Chips O'Toole 1,326]

What a strike by Gallagher. 

[A-Tex Devil 2,451]

Can we play eithe Gallagher or Kolmanic at RB?  Serious question. 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Neither keeper having a stellar match tonight.

Lol what? Stu has been amazing. (not amazing but he's been good)

You expect him to save wide open 2nd chances? 

Edited August 14, 2022 by ztejas

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Lol what? Stu has been amazing. 

First goal spilled the rebound.

Second goal stumbled and went feet first and not hands.

That first goal was a hard shot, but if you're not going to confidently smother, push aside. I can forgive this one though... helluva hard shot and rebound.

The second was a no man's land and he made the wrong decision to stick his foot out.

I'll come back a bit - he hasn't been amazing. 

The first goal is 100% on Ring. Stu saved the initial attempt. You can't ask for much more.

The second goal he made an incredible fucking save then got caught - again - on the 2nd attempt.

Stu has been fine. Neither goal is on him. This isn't the CL. 

I mean - can't believe you're even bringing up the 2d one. Most keepers let the first shot through there. 

[ztejas 43,502]

How the fuck is that not a foul on Driussi? You have to be fucking shitting me. 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

No argument his first save on the second goal attempt was quality... but his footwork let him down and he wasn't set to make a good decision on the follow-up shot that scored.

He chose to stick a foot out, probably because he felt off balance... but his footwork failed him to be in a position to push off for a good dive.

Yes... defense has not helped at all, but Stu has some culpability in both goals.

Dude it's the MLS. I'm done with this convo. You're expecting him to be Cech? 

Remains a Mickey Mouse league.

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

No. But I have high expectations for Stuver that he let down on the 2nd goal.

Agree to disagree. Let's move on. 

These guys are collectively embarrassing the city tonight. Just total garbage from pretty much everyone besides Urruti and Driussi. 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Great shot by Driusi. Better save.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

Yeah

The more times I see the second goal - the first save is good, the second is just bad.

 

This looked like a half from last years team.

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Solid save from Stuver there... hardest saves to make are those ones a yard from your feet. You have to almost stand on your head to get there.

And another great save.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

Well

Stuver got the half time message at least.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

Shit

Did Driussi break his nose?

n/m teeth

 

I want El Lobito.

 

That will do.

Great sequence there, back in this thing. 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Cascante with the power header!

LFG!

Stuver has been fine all game y'all are smoking crack and maybe unsure of what league you're watching. 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Handbags!

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

God damn Gabrielsen

Take your yellow and get the fuck out of there.  We don’t need anything disrupting the flow of the game right now.

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

Freaking pinball. Didn't go in though. Oof.

VAR please?

Lmao that is some bullshit. 

[ztejas 43,502]

This league is a fucking joke. How am I supposed to support a side with this officiating? 

[RamjetFDO 10,577]

What's up with Fagundez's short-shorts?

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

I still think we got a break on the offside for our second goal, but I would feel better if VAR just claimed it didn’t hit his hand at all.

[A-Tex Devil 2,451]

Someone explain why all 5 subs aren’t used yet.
