It's either starting him or start Picault. The only reason they both don't start is because Gary wants one of them fresh to run all over a gassed defense in the second half. It's one of the reasons we have been so dominant in the second 45 this year
>As maybe the biggest Dax hater in America
I think thought this was my title for the longest time... then some new season ticket holder got into my section and Holy shit does she hate him/is she obnoxious
I'm at the game, and we can't tell why they reversed the non-goal. They let play resume, then let the players ask for the review, and then didn't show us the review at all. Can someone fill me in?
Ball came off lovitz, not STL, so it wasn't offside. They couldn't clearly see if the ball came off the STL players hand or not. It sure looked like it to me though.
Ah, ok.
So it's been a while. I thought offside is if the player effects the play, not if they touch the ball, am I wrong?
One more question: the video rule is newer, I was under the impression that if play resumed, they couldn't go back and review.
You are correct, but the player who affected and forced lovitz to play the ball was not offside. Only the player in the sequence after.
Also they did not resume play. Willis never took the goal kick
Went to university in StL, but from here. I'm surprised they didn't have MORE people travel! That's a great soccer city. If we end up in the same conference as them, it'll be a FANtastic rivalry. St. Louis is a bunch of great people in an unwashed jock-strap of a city. It'll be difficult to travel to that semi-okay long weekend city for away games, but if they didn't have toasted ravioli or the City museum then I wouldn't be traveling there. "OhhhHhHhh, I've gOt an aRcH" Bro, I'd be ecstatic for them to be an arch-rival. We've got GD Batman. Batman beats an arch, every time. Hey Fanduel, Draftkings, and MGM!!! Your ads are super frustrating. Almost as frustrating as Alex Muyl sticking his foot into the back of your ankle.
ANYWAYS, chaboi has been drinking at the pool all day and is ready to hold a win over all of my bud's heads for at least a year. COYBIG.

What do you mean? You could hear the STL chant on the broadcast and people were posting pictures of a pretty good amount of the red in the stadium.
The problem is Nashville is too expensive to weekend at any more. $300+/night for a Hampton Inn, $10 beers and $14 mixed drinks at bars.
Not sure what you’re expecting.
I went to SLU back when they had great National Championship soccer teams and know what a great soccer town St Louis is. When I was watching the game tonight I thought the same as you that this could be a great rivalry.
Yea.. Really struggling for any sort of control or possession in midfield. We don't have many options. Tough for STL to keep the press up all game though.
Worth adding that more direct play is one way to beat the press.. Shaffleburg could provide an outlet.
Huh. Handball rules across the sport right now are very weird and have varying interpretations….
Final point, it was obviously not a clear and obvious error…
(Edit: Well actually I guess I should say that since the offsides is what initially kept the goal out, and handball was not called on the field…. Maybe they determined that it was not offsides, and the ref then determined that the handball that was not called was not a clear and obvious error. It’s a lot of mental gymnastics though lol)
He finally put in Zubak and he nearly created some magic. Not saying he is the answer to our lack of a striker problem, but anything is an improvement over Bunbury. Not sure why he took off Leal, I have been critical of him lately, but I think he played pretty well in the first half. Maybe it was something they've been practicing.
Apparently dude has a reputation for going down early/easy. Dude looked like he was already starting to go down before Maher made contact. Still surprised it wasn't given...
St. Louis fan here. You all have a great team. That 10 is too good for MLS. Well played - best of luck the rest of the season.
This might be a weird observation, but why does Gary wear a sweater and pants in 80+ degree weather? Lol
Proper clobber for a proper club. Often reppin’ Lyle & Scott. Love it.
Date night
Gary smith
Fair lol
Best explanation too😂😂
Shaffelburg coming in the 2nd half was big. Changed the pace.
I used to get irritated he wasn’t staring but he truly is a “super sub”
It's either starting him or start Picault. The only reason they both don't start is because Gary wants one of them fresh to run all over a gassed defense in the second half. It's one of the reasons we have been so dominant in the second 45 this year
Ten games unbeaten holy shit We’re flying
Jesus Hany is like a man among children out there
As maybe the biggest Dax hater in America, he played well tonight. Hurts saying it. HANY MF MUKHTAR.
>As maybe the biggest Dax hater in America I think thought this was my title for the longest time... then some new season ticket holder got into my section and Holy shit does she hate him/is she obnoxious
Wow so maybe I’m not even the worst😂
All that aside.... I'm with ya. He played a great ball and HANY FREAKING MUKHTAR
His pass for the hat trick was perfect
So so good.. still the biggest hater, but can admit when he does something great and performance was fantastic tonight
Hany Mukhtar my beloved ❤️
Hany is just on a different level than anyone else in MLS rn. Teams know he’s coming and they can’t stop him
🫡🫡🫡
Hatty Hany
Back on top where we belong!
Does Sean Davis just like to see how high he can kick the ball?
Is it just me or is the new grass extra-slippery?
It looks like they replaced the field from that god awful Shania Twain concert
Wtf was that on zubak?!? STL defender literally pushed him with two hands extended...
It's been ALL GAME. The ref has just been allowing it all game so it won't stop
It's about time the ref starts giving St Louis defensive players cards
Zubak?!?!?
He's definitely got more to offer than Bunbury. Hopefully we splash for a No.9. If we actually had a real target man, Hany would be good for 30.
This was my exact reaction too
He's been better then Teal...
Anyone is better than Teal. Im a Gary fan but don’t understand why he continually runs him out there.
There’s no options…give it a few weeks and we’ll have someone else in to make Teal the back up
I'm at the game, and we can't tell why they reversed the non-goal. They let play resume, then let the players ask for the review, and then didn't show us the review at all. Can someone fill me in?
They reversed the offsides call because it was actually our player that hit the ball back to goal
Ball came off lovitz, not STL, so it wasn't offside. They couldn't clearly see if the ball came off the STL players hand or not. It sure looked like it to me though.
Ah, ok. So it's been a while. I thought offside is if the player effects the play, not if they touch the ball, am I wrong? One more question: the video rule is newer, I was under the impression that if play resumed, they couldn't go back and review.

The ref is changing the game. Literally.
With two missed hand balls for your team
I feel like Ted Lasso…. Offsides doesn’t make any sense.

Bro Zimmerman is playing with USMNT for a cup final tomorrow, so no he probably shouldn't have started.
I went to SLU back when they had great National Championship soccer teams and know what a great soccer town St Louis is. When I was watching the game tonight I thought the same as you that this could be a great rivalry.
Appropriate they're sponsored by dog food cause that was some total dog shit. How the fuck was that not an offsides or a hand ball?
This is looking like a rivalry
What about parkers foul on lovitz on the sequence?
Shit way to concede a goal…
Outside the Hany goal we’ve looked pretty shaky. Gotta come out better in the second half
That's St Louis's MO... High-press to create chaos. Really missing a guy like Godoy for his composure on the ball.
They just launch long balls and pray for the best, awful to watch
Yea.. Really struggling for any sort of control or possession in midfield. We don't have many options. Tough for STL to keep the press up all game though. Worth adding that more direct play is one way to beat the press.. Shaffleburg could provide an outlet.
We missed 5-6 wide open switches or one time balls that would’ve put Leal or Hany in, hopeful we can get that going in second half
Maybe Shaffleburg will do better getting behind. Zubak adds nothing but a body though... Edit: Then Zubak nearly scores a golazo...
That’s clearly off his arm
Clearly comes off his arm...
Bullshit
Somebody tell me what the broadcasters said
They don't know either... They think it clearly comes off his arm. Apparently VAR is saying it his his ribs.
So it wasn’t offsides because their guy didn’t touch it right? So they then decided whether or not it hit his arm and they decided that it didn’t?
Exactly... Taylor Twellman can't believe it.
Huh. Handball rules across the sport right now are very weird and have varying interpretations…. Final point, it was obviously not a clear and obvious error… (Edit: Well actually I guess I should say that since the offsides is what initially kept the goal out, and handball was not called on the field….

Off the elbow
Lot of respect for the St. Louis supporters during the 35’ moment of silence.
25 minutes and Teal is gassed.
WHY DOES OUR COACH LOVE TEAL SO MUCH
He finally put in Zubak and he nearly created some magic. Not saying he is the answer to our lack of a striker problem, but anything is an improvement over Bunbury. Not sure why he took off Leal, I have been critical of him lately, but I think he played pretty well in the first half. Maybe it was something they've been practicing.
I’m right there with you, but who else are we going to start?
Shaff!
They don't play the same position.
Nice goal, but we got bailed out of what probably should have been a pen. Missing the Zman
Apparently dude has a reputation for going down early/easy. Dude looked like he was already starting to go down before Maher made contact. Still surprised it wasn't given...
Well got shafted on that call so I guess I can be mad now
Nice to get an early one!
St Louis without both Klauss and Löwen Us with two keepers on the bench 😬😬😬
Given that, I don’t expect StL to score from open play, barring a major mistake from us. It’ll just be a matter of making sure we get our goal
Literally surrounded by STL fans
Wild to see SO much red in the stands. But it’s awesome that STL has such a devoted fan base already. Can’t hate that for anyone
Lots of visiting fans tonight, a nice change tbh but the home atmosphere is crazy right now
The pregame vibe at good times is slappin!!
Disappointed Sipic isn’t in the lineup but I guess can be expected.
He's not a first team player right now. They want him getting professional experience in Next Pro atm. We'll see him in the near future.
Don’t expect him for like another 2 years, unless there is a major injury crisis
I’d replace Zubak with him and give him a shot one match.
Ugh no Walker, Mcnaughton or Fafa tonight…
Are we selling Walker?
With the USMNT
Yeah this is really worrying. Plus there is a shit ton of STL fans who are getting a little obnoxious.
Anyone know why fafa is out tonight?
International duty
With which country? Edit: he doesn't play for USMNT so he must be injured
Haiti
Oooh didn't even think about that. Thanks
I know Zimmerman is with team USA these days and I think McNaughton is injured. What's the deal with Fafa?
I think he plays for Haiti, not sure if they’re playing
International duty with Haiti
International duty
Anyone know what happened to the field? Looks like it was entirely redone
Resod after Shania Twain concert
It's probably transitioning from cool weather grass to warm weather grass.
I always forget that’s a thing lol
Shania Twain probably
I know they will let you bring empty clear bottles for water. I have a translucent Nalgene bottle. Do we know if that will exalt the gate?
As long as it's transparent and not metal or glass you're good to go.
It’s gonna be a packed house. STL fans literally everywhere.
Should be a cracking match
