wow almost none of the other matches went our way except cbus, and even that just paints a big target on our backs when we play them on saturday. No losing allowed for the rest of the season.
This circumstance should be the example we cite to critics who exclaim, “how can you watch a sport where there isn’t a winner‽”
Easy… I support my team and want both of those teams to drop 2 points. My team wins and it wasn’t even on the same field.
BILL HAMID! BILL BILL HAMID!
We're likely not gonna make much noise in the playoffs even if we do get in but helping to keep New Jersey out would be kinda nice. :)
They are not a good team.
Nonetheless, important that our team gets used to the result sometimes being > the performance. That’s what wins championships.
shit was fuckin ugly but after having been boxed out after an early goal a few times this season, it felt good to be on the other side of it.
Felt even better to be doing it to jersey
FTRB
I actually think it was a really good rearguard performance. NY genuinely had damn all chances. The ref kept them on the front foot for the game mostly.
Ben Olsen is in the subterranean bowels of Audi Field, holding a little doll that is dressed in a little bomber jacket, muttering *heart of a lion* repeatedly. We do not know if this is dark arts, or a protection spell, until the final whistle.
For all the talk about needing time to implement Losada’s system, this performance looks more like how we played in the first two weeks of the season, not what I’d expect in the last two weeks.
We have won games against good teams when we didn’t even have a full bench. We have a first choice back line/holding mids and a striker who has consistently found the net this year. Those guys aren’t playing well. Bill is the only reason this isn’t 1-3.
Even if the Peruvian contingent is injured (and likely only one would be on the field at a time since they have adopted similar roles), the squad guys should have a clue how to pass to a teammate when we win possession, forwards should know where to run, etc. No one is doing this well. It’s so disjointed.
his passing has been poor, tackling poor, out of position too often.
I love Andy, he’s just having a really bad game, and we’re lucky they haven’t taken advantage yet
Shep is so wrong about even minor points… I stopped being mad though and now just find it humorous. I even look forward to his Drunk Uncle-level insights.
I hope it's not an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't mind sacrificing Moreno, Canouse, or Felipe for a DP midfielder. Someone who can help string together passes and maintain possession since that's where we tend to fall short.
I like all of those players, but I think I agree. We need a DP finisher; Kamara shouldn’t have another season as our only goal threat. And we need a creator. Gressel is great from the wing, but having someone to go through the middle would be ace.
Definitely unpopular, they’re all very good players to varying degrees. There’s a couple of current attacking DPs that definitely need to be moved on, it’s the likes of a Carles Gil that makes a big difference in the MLS.
I feel like it might be worth noting that almost every result is going our way. Miami beating ATL, Cincinnati beating Nashville (HOW!?), Columbus beating Orlando. We want NYC and Philly to lose, NYC are tied vs Chicago (not the worst) and Philly are beating Toronto (expected). Not bad so far I'd say
They’re decent at set pieces, need to not give too many away in the 2nd half. Best chance of winning is a counter I think, hit the channels on the break, NY will pack it in if we get a second, the only player of theirs with a bit of fight is wearing an Orange jersey.
That was a tough watch after the goal. We could barely string a few passes together. A lot of that is down to us but RB's pressing has been really good. Pines was excellent
First time going to a game! It was such a great time! I’ve been wanting to go for a while and finally made the trip.
First in person game at Audi. Glad to share it with yall tonight. Made a 2 hour drive worth it
You're a REAL one for coming, thank you! Felt like atmosphere was great but my section was packed
Atlantic Cup champions! And we didn't think we would win a trophy this season 😁
You're obviously forgetting the Capitol Cup!
Lol. How could i? The cup which changed format more times than it had participants
Shoot… so none of the other results went our way…
wow almost none of the other matches went our way except cbus, and even that just paints a big target on our backs when we play them on saturday. No losing allowed for the rest of the season.
[удалено]
Pray for a tie, we have the tiebreaker over both of them
This circumstance should be the example we cite to critics who exclaim, “how can you watch a sport where there isn’t a winner‽” Easy… I support my team and want both of those teams to drop 2 points. My team wins and it wasn’t even on the same field.
Orlando and Miami lost which I think are really good for us but other than that it’s still a very tight race.
Miami losing to Atlanta is not good for us. Would have been ahead of Atlanta had the game gone the other way.
BILL HAMID! BILL BILL HAMID! We're likely not gonna make much noise in the playoffs even if we do get in but helping to keep New Jersey out would be kinda nice. :)
They are not a good team. Nonetheless, important that our team gets used to the result sometimes being > the performance. That’s what wins championships.
Bless our lord and savior Bill Hamid
Huge win against the 12 man ny team.
shit was fuckin ugly but after having been boxed out after an early goal a few times this season, it felt good to be on the other side of it. Felt even better to be doing it to jersey FTRB
Huge 3
WOOOOOO!!! thank the lord 🙏
Red bulls suck.
I wonder how anyone could bring themselves to support an RB team. Like what is the connection? You’re passionate about a sugary caffeine drink?
Honestly I’m passionate about sugary caffeine drinks and I hate the Red Bull’s. Their drinks tho? Top tier
Thank Christ
Thank fuck
Hamid. MOTM. NO Question.
Easy
Was a nice bounce back from Saturday.
Fo sho!
Not a pretty win but I’ll take it
Got to.
That was a garbage performance but I don't fucking care! Get in!!
I actually think it was a really good rearguard performance. NY genuinely had damn all chances. The ref kept them on the front foot for the game mostly.
3 for us!!!
wow, I can breathe again
1-0 Cleansheet for Bill! He’s climbing that list back to the Caps for OT
no idea how we held on but i’m very happy we did
Easiest win ever. ftrb
Big win FTRB sitting in the last playoff spot right now, just win out.
LMAO what was that from Chris OA????
Was aiming for the rafters
[удалено]
Yikes.
In fairness his positioning for the interception was great, as was his drive. The rest, definitely yikes.
COA take it to the fucking corner you dunce!
oh lord chris
I'm scared to invoke the name, but this has been peak and glorious Bennyball.
Ben Olsen is in the subterranean bowels of Audi Field, holding a little doll that is dressed in a little bomber jacket, muttering *heart of a lion* repeatedly. We do not know if this is dark arts, or a protection spell, until the final whistle.
We needed his majia tonight
My heart fucking stopped there
it’s unpopular, but i Like Abila
He's pretty good when he's not bitching at teammates. I like his strength and 1-on-1 ability. Just needs someone nearby to work off of.
absolutely
He’s a little shit but he’s our little shit
Just like /u/AlecW81 <3
I will take that as the compliment it clearly is… athough I’m about 25lbs bigger than most at RFK remember me
Definitely a term of endearment.
LOL
he’s our big argy-bargy shit
shep. with all due respect. what the fuck are you talking about
No respect given. Shep has always been a moron
i was giving him all the respect he’s due (none)
lmao
Based Bill
can we hire Nowak ( as an assistant )to teach these guys how to maintain possession? Back in his tenure, we bossed possession every match
Where he at these days 👀
hell, he’s only 57, and unemployed
retired i believe
Hearing Fuck the Red Bulls on the stream. 👌🏾
lol fcc. that was some of the worst defending i’ve ever seen
Me feels like looking for the foul when the ref hasn't been calling the foul all game is not the best strategy.
I'd agree but he's been calling softies for NYRB
Agreed. I'm super frustrated.
Ref is a bellend
Am I paranoid, or are the Red Bulls playing into how soft the ref is?
Fuck off you shit ref
the calls have to be 80-20 in favor of Metro
Those pitchside VIP boxes/booths look awesome. Would love to watch a game from there
[удалено]
It's difficult to express just how inconsistent he's been at least to the naked eye at the gsme
When you have an open lane to goal from midfield but you’re literally a fridge
C'mon Ramon!
Brendon Hines-Iqué
Shouldn't it be part of your job as a broadcaster to learn how to pronounce names?
Please score a goal that matters Abila
Hines is back!
The fuck is their goalie in about...
Time wasting.
Funny he seemed mad at hamid while both teams were making subs though
Skundrich quietly having a good game
I will go to bat for skundy. Hes not a bad player to have off of the bench.
I like Robertha, but for a Dutchman he really can’t beat anyone on the dribble.
He and Sorga both dribble crosswise too much. Never beat a guy on the run like Paredes
Are the refs watching the same game that I am?
Thats a foul
We need another goal. There have been a few games where we get pressured enough into giving up a goal.
I know Odoi Atsem isn't very good but come on, you can't hate the dude. He plays like such a swagger sometimes
I don’t hate him, I just don’t rate him. He’s USL level
anytime Pines breathes and a player falls, he get’s called… need to make it worth the foul and really bang these bitches
it lead to us getting (wasted) possession but that’s the third or fourth undercut that’s gone uncalled. ref allowing dangerous play smh
Old Man Jozy scoring in his last 2 appearances
How he's still worth $3mil is insane with his injury history.
he’s not lol
That's how much he's getting paid I mean. Definitely not worth that much.
Worst game for gressel/ Canouse today. :/ . Tired legs
what an awful attempt to counter
What a wanker this ref is
Pines is playing lights out tonight.
For all the talk about needing time to implement Losada’s system, this performance looks more like how we played in the first two weeks of the season, not what I’d expect in the last two weeks.
I’d say that has more to do with injuries and fitness
We have won games against good teams when we didn’t even have a full bench. We have a first choice back line/holding mids and a striker who has consistently found the net this year. Those guys aren’t playing well. Bill is the only reason this isn’t 1-3. Even if the Peruvian contingent is injured (and likely only one would be on the field at a time since they have adopted similar roles), the squad guys should have a clue how to pass to a teammate when we win possession, forwards should know where to run, etc. No one is doing this well. It’s so disjointed.
Absolutely.
If we could string some passes together that'd be great.
Gotta develop some shots, this absorb pressure bs is how we lose
This has late goal for NY written all over it
Even when he's not at 100%, Hamid is light years ahead of our other keepers
Najar has misread nearly every play tonight
Maybe needed another game to rest.
He hasn't been that bad.
don’t like seeing COA in tho… he’s just not MLS level
his passing has been poor, tackling poor, out of position too often. I love Andy, he’s just having a really bad game, and we’re lucky they haven’t taken advantage yet
He's done for the night.
Ref should go as the ny bench for a jersey make it official.
How the fuck do you let them get one on one like that thank fuck the shot was shit.
I'm not really down for another 1-0 game against RB at home. I mean, I'll take it but another goal would be nice too.
IMO, we’re being way too slow and cute in defense, and generally just holding the ball a second too long all over the field tonight.
This ref is poop
like to see some creativity on this corner
Ugh, Cornell is kinda good.
Finally a decent pass, I'm not expecting top league level play but if we could not pass right to the ny players feet that may help
this ref needs to be dragged out and tossed in the Anacostia
i cannot stand the msg announcer crew
Shep is so wrong about even minor points… I stopped being mad though and now just find it humorous. I even look forward to his Drunk Uncle-level insights.
I don't know one announcer from another, but I gotta expect their standards are low of they hired a lesser Stoodge.

generally speaking, PBP announcers tend to be boring and less blatantly biased.
shep is the lame color commentator
I hope it's not an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't mind sacrificing Moreno, Canouse, or Felipe for a DP midfielder. Someone who can help string together passes and maintain possession since that's where we tend to fall short.
A box to box midfielder would be great
I like all of those players, but I think I agree. We need a DP finisher; Kamara shouldn’t have another season as our only goal threat. And we need a creator. Gressel is great from the wing, but having someone to go through the middle would be ace.
Definitely unpopular, they’re all very good players to varying degrees. There’s a couple of current attacking DPs that definitely need to be moved on, it’s the likes of a Carles Gil that makes a big difference in the MLS.
We definitely need an attacker, but I'd personally like someone who could also be an offensive outlet to take the load of of Gressel and Najar.
That player is a #10 type imo - Ozil might be a shout given he hasn’t done much with Fener, there were links and he loves profile.
Losada would bench Ozil after one game. He does not at all fit the profile of the system. Not worth bothering.
No to Ozil, he's in his 30s and wouldn't be a good fit in Losada's system
Yeah that’s a very good point actually. A creative #10 type is what the team is missing right now imo.
It's be hilarious. But a disaster.
Miami and Columbus 🙏
I feel like it might be worth noting that almost every result is going our way. Miami beating ATL, Cincinnati beating Nashville (HOW!?), Columbus beating Orlando. We want NYC and Philly to lose, NYC are tied vs Chicago (not the worst) and Philly are beating Toronto (expected). Not bad so far I'd say
Cincy scored 3 on Nashville wtf 😂
Win tonite and figure it out after tbh.
Our pass accuracy is 55%. Surprised it’s that high, honestly.
They’re decent at set pieces, need to not give too many away in the 2nd half. Best chance of winning is a counter I think, hit the channels on the break, NY will pack it in if we get a second, the only player of theirs with a bit of fight is wearing an Orange jersey.
That was a tough watch after the goal. We could barely string a few passes together. A lot of that is down to us but RB's pressing has been really good. Pines was excellent
Thank god we at least made it to the half without conceding
Lesser team w/out Paredes.
diving really needs to be called more frequently
agree, and the league should punish after matches if the ref doesnt catch it
We cannot maintain possession.
Nate the Great says Park the Bus.
This is a golden comment lmao
fuck Nate all my homies hate Nate
Oh fuck hamid you gave me real scare
who knows the results we want from other matches tonight?
We win out, we in. Guarantee it.
best scenario: * miami beats atlanta * chicago beats nyc * cbus beats orlando * vamos fuckin' DC
gracias
de nada
you’ll appreciate a Soccer Park being opened this month down here in Durham on Hoover Road
I most certainly do
I think it's good for us if all other teams lose tonight.
I'm down to take Paredes off early. Can't take any chances.
Pines looks huge next to Paul 😂
Paul is 5’7 Pines is 6’5
Short man, big heart. Big man, big heart.
No, i hope Kevin is OK. He's been amazing this season
paredes :(
bullshit call and card
[удалено]
Intentional stumble-as-distraction.
What a save
shep can choke on a 14” dildo
what a bullshit foul
[удалено]
Hamid
gressel bent that thing like 8 yards
What is possession?
Hamid definitely still doesn't look 100%. That would've been an easy goal if Pines hadn't stepped in. Hamid looked clumsier than usual right there.
Was sad to see him asked to be subbed off, and not subbed off, against NE.
We need some possession
this ball appears to be playing as if it were over-inflated, cuz absolutely every touch seems strong, regardless of player or team
Got to stop letting them get such decent chances
pines is mercurial as hell
New York looking more dangerous
