WTF????????

It was right in front of us. It was a goal.

They didn’t have a clean camera angle for the replay on tv. It’s looked like it was over but the depth was hard to assess without a shot down the line.

That is ASS. Sec 118 looks right down that line, saw it plain as day. No goal line tech is ridiculous.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Verde!

No doubt this time. Level at 1.

[Anastasis 23469]

No goal line tech needed on that one. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

This crowd would have stormed the pitch if VAR reversed that...

[Anastasis 23469]

Jesus fucking Christ. 

[NAVY 6740]

Este season el sucko 

[Brisketexan 105095]

Dani’s mom got an image/video sent to her that showed that maybe the ball didn’t cross the line all the way, showed it to us and yeah…not a clear call.

At this point, we have no expectations for this team. And they met those expectations.

No leadership on the field, not playing as a team. Players are losing their cool (Gallagher is clearly playing frustrated, making lots of mistakes trying to force shit). And Driussi shouldn’t be the captain. He’s not a leader on the field, and to the extent that he’s trying, I think it distracts from what he needs to focus on: playing intensely.

Expect a major off-season housecleaning.

[LonghornSean 3994]

The non-goal looked in live from 316, but from the replays I wouldn’t be surprised that it didn’t cross all the way. Had to be damn close though.

But how the fuck is there not goal line technology in MLS? Or is it there and they just don’t show the fancy graphics in stadium?

[CooterBrown 18006]

Here's a great pic of that goal.  There's obviously daylight between the ball and the post.  The goal we were given was closer than this one was.

After that horrible call, some asshat from my section threw a beer can onto the field near the ar.  It took about 20 minutes but they found him & arrested him.  Everyone nearby started clapping when he left with the police officer.  

[Anastasis 23469]

Looked like water bottles being thrown at Sounders players after the second goal as well. Not cool. 

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

I'm more pissed that the offside wasn't called. It was close but I didn't think there was any way Lima kept Morris onside on replay. 

That pic looks pretty clear that the ball is over the line. Fuckin hell of a save except it wasn't. 

[The Maestro 750]

We’re headed to Denver for the weekend.  Any recs for where to watch the Arsenal game Sunday AM?  We’ll be in the Cherry Creek area. 

[The Maestro 750]

Shit, wrong thread.  Carry on. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Huge save by Stu.

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

Driussi with a free heade at the 6 off a Lima cross...misses wide left. 

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

But, they have a player named Nacho Gil that I assume they got off of waivers from the Simpsons Character League, so... advantage NE. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Verde!

Rigoni a little lucky, but whatever.

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

Omg fuck. 1-1. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Welp.

That didn't last long. Clusterfuck defense.

Even at 1. 28th minute.

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

Holy shit, Lima didn't know the trailing guy was there and just let it go by him. Horrid. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Lazy backside defending... Again.

2-1 in the 47th.

[NAVY 6740]

Que horrible 

[NAVY 6740]

Some one said it a week ago or so, this teem has no leader. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Verde!!

Ring at the last second. Even at 2.

[NAVY 6740]

First time ring had been useful in months. Love me some Ring 

[The Maestro 750]

Ring was pretty solid filling in at center back.   This was a big win for him.   

[Brisketexan 105095]

Ring should still be the captain. He was out there yelling, barking orders. It was good.
This result could be really helpful for the team, mentally.

[Jerry Callo 8700]

Apple TV+ was glitching at the house last night, so ended up watching today.

Wow, what an ending.  They had so many other opportunities, too.

[Jerry Callo 8700]

¡LISTO!

[RamjetFDO 10575]

¡LISTO!

VERDE!

[RamjetFDO 10575]

That would've been a dream start... but no

[Anastasis 23469]

What are you doing ring?

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Welp. Whole bunch of Charlie Fox there. Defensive confusion leads to Portland scoring.

What are you doing ring?

Both ends.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

... Was about to comment on the empty seats on the east side.

And then Portland adds #2.

I think we're done here.

Yeah…couldn’t make the match tonight. Watching the second half on TV. They may be worse than they were season 1.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Driussi pulls one back. Still some hope, damn it.

[gsoda3 3254]

great pass by ring and even better first touch by driussi to pull that down. 

[CooterBrown 18006]

Gallagher had two open shot opportunities and passed the ball away instead. The lack of a killer instinct is so frustrating.

[drt 638]

Hope Bruin is ok. Tons of blood, and was obviously heavily concussed. 

[SimonBolivar 10958]

Lots of bodies between Austin and a playoff spot now. I understand that Wolff is in no danger even with this being a disaster of a season.

[YGIFS 19450]

What's a trustworthy "Playoff Likelihood %" source for MLS like the ones for MLB?  Based on your upcoming opponents and the upcoming schedule of the teams front/near you?  It's not looking great, but not that far-fetched for Verde.  I guess even if they qualify, not even the first match would be here, right?  

A wildly tumultuous first 3 seasons to go from 2nd to bottom, to conference finals, to what could be anywhere from #7/#8 spot to maybe right near cellar again depending on how it shakes out.  I guess nature of the game.  

I know this is over-simplistic.  but next 4 matches are very much winnable.  At #13/30-point New York RB, home #13/30-point L.A., At #14/22-point Colorado, and host #9/33-point DCU.  There's gotta be two wins and 2 ties or even 3 wins in there somewhere.  Last two matches are not kind looking though maybe San Jose and us come down for the last playoff spot.  But as stated, lotsa logjam there between Minnesota and ATX.

How bad was the Rigoni OG for someone that's watching? 

[NAVY 6740]

Austin sucks at possessing the ball tonight. Two touches then turn it over 

[NAVY 6740]

Just saw the replay, he scored a poachers goal on Stuver.   

[ztejas 43418]

So we're playing Ring at CB and Wolff at LB. This roster is a fucking disaster right now.

Your manager is supported by the director until he double taps him in the back of the skull at close range. We don’t really know shit.
