Damn. This team is good.

This team is good against bad competition.

[RamjetFDO 10554]

There's the crappy defensive back pass... meh. 3-1 in the 54th.

That wasn’t necessarily true last season, so I’ll take it.

Full credit to Phil Neville making some effective halftime tactical changes for Miami.

Now we see if Wolff can adapt.

[kingkoopa6 8305]

Gol!

[RamjetFDO 10554]

VERDE! x4

[BrickHorn 18176]

We’re lucky both those dudes whiffed on their header attempts.

Good teams usually are. I get we aren't playing KC or Seattle but 9-1 is impressive against any 2 teams in the league.

Yedlin is a monster.

I don't disagree. Just tempering my expectations through the first three games.

[Jerry Callo 8658]

BOOM!

[RamjetFDO 10554]

VERDE! x5

[BrickHorn 18176]

Holy shit

[kingkoopa6 8305]

Shhhhhheessshhhhhh!

[BrickHorn 18176]

The possession stats from last season didn’t lie. This team was just missing a finisher.

[BurdineBandit 808]

Great start to the season!

[hayden_horn 11360]

that 5th goal was about as good as it gets. what a screamer

[kingkoopa6 8305]

Victory!

[Blotto 23418]

took 14 matches last season to tally a total of 10 goals. 

[Bozo_Casanova 26232]

Well that was fun he says boozefully

[yoladu 4065]

 

on pace for 170 goals for | 17 allowed this season.

Lima sucks. That yellow is good reason to sub Jimenez into the game.

I've been Team Jimenez since early last year. Lima probably has the edge on pure defending, but Jimenez is a much better on the attack.

Jiminez is a 12 year MLS vet, has played 201 regular season games with a whopping total of 7 goals, averaging less than a goal a year. I think we can manage without his offensive prowess. I think I like Lima better when healthy (he had the hammy last year).

Was at the game last night.  Had a blast

- Was sitting right at 18 yard box on side of Mota's free kick at end of half.  You could tell that he and Higuain were hatching something.  Almost paid off.  Great save by Stuv.

- Yedlin is a beast.  I love the guy when he plays for US, but he was a bit annoying last nightwith the gamesmanship.  Still, dude is built like a tank and was cool to see him in person.  

- Watched a lot of Keller in first half since he was right in front of me.  He seems really good notwithstanding the foul on Higuain.  Walker Zimmerman parallels?

- Man, does Pochettino's run last year look even worse now.  What a disaster of a designated player signing.

- Do they have a stat for rolling around after a tackle then getting up and returning to the game?  If so, Cecilio would lead the league I'm pretty sure.  Wish he'd cut that shit out.

- I really like Kolmanic

[Bottlecap 1519]

Zan is my favorite player hands down. I love a LB that can run up and down the sideline and deliver in swinging dimes with the left foot. Not bad at actually defending too!

In the postgame presser, Stuver called it the type of goal we gave up a lot last year. So yes, that.

Stuver's head-to-toe magenta lewk is certainly bold. 

[ztejas 43244]

Where the fuck am I supposed to watch this? Just remembered that ESPN+ blacks the games out in Austin.

At least his hair gel is immaculate.

Starting to get burned on the counter.

Starting to get burned on the counter.

Yeah, and not feeling good about the insistence to play short passes in tight spaces in our defensive third.

[RamjetFDO 10554]

Juuuuust a bit offside. /bobeucker

I feel better about this team than last year's team with that shit. Not great, but better.

D looks a little shaky but we're killing it on the other end. A goal is coming.

[RamjetFDO 10554]

Thank you woodwork.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

That would have been horse shit if they had scored from that corner sequence.

[ztejas 43244]

This team's creativity in the final 3rd is really impressive - especially for an MLS side. (However the finishing is still painfully MLS level at times)

The back 3/4 (whatever we're playing) still seems kind of shitty. But, you know, score 3 goals a game in this league and it doesn't matter that much.

[Chips O'Toole 1316]

And the second half will be played in a puddle. 

[ztejas 43244]

That is just braindead both with the ball and without it from Cecilio.

[RamjetFDO 10554]

[ztejas 43244]

That yellow on Driussi is why people don't take this league seriously. You already carded us, dickweed.
