  1. For a long time, I thought Cloak and Dagger was just a fever dream I had as a kid and not an actual movie. I just thought I imagined some 3 finger old lady trying to choloroform me while i ran around San Antonio.
  2. That fucking sucks. Those players haven't done shit internationally except kick around some shitty Mexico squads. Vetoing a coaching hire like they're Lebron James shouldn't be in the realm of possibility IMO. Ah well, I guess there is always a chance we make it to the quarter finals after scoring like 2 goals in the group stage and pulling out a stoppage time 1-0 victory in the round of 16.
  3. Subbing 7-footers in for corner kicks would be kind of awesome though.
  4. I like CJ, but we really lost the plot once he came in for Obrian. Houston appeared to be the better team from that point until we made that last push and got the goal. Houston badly needs to bring in someone who can finish if our two matches against them are representative of their other results. Zardes played his best game of the year imo, but similar to Rigoni, when the ball comes to him, I just kind of hope for the best but expect him to lose it after a few touches. Rigoni also gets props for that corner ball, but it may have been the only ball he played all game that made it to one of our players. Him and Zan just cannot seem to put the ball into a place where we have a chance to get a head on it. Perhaps we should just have Driussi kick Rabonas from the corner spot.
  5. Fuck yes 1-0 Driussi slams home a rebound off Zardes on a corner. Lol maybe I was off on this being a high scoring affair.
  6. We've looked pretty dangerous so far, especially compared to the game in Houston. Both teams with two very near misses. Feels like a 3 or 4 goal game. Ring and Driussi are finding the ball in good spots, one of them should find a goal tonight.
  7. Fucking hell that was close. Zan with the early gift in our own box. Basically the same spot as Driussi's blunder Saturday.
  8. Jeeeeeesus Driussi, what a colossal fuckup that was.
  9. That's crazy. People really gamble on MLS games?
  10. "A worm ate that portion of my brain.." is going to get a lot of use in my upcoming performance review.
  11. "There might be something else going on with his head there..." -announcer about a Vancouver player who just whiffed a slow rolling ball and fell on his ass.
  12. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I may have to see everything Jon Cena is in for a while just to watch him do crazy things. I never saw him in the WWE, but I kind wish I had, as I find him extremely entertaining.
  13. Are 80s song titles the new lottery numbers? Because that would be great actually.
  14. I'm glad they got a few good dishes out of that challenge because the theme confused the fuck out of the contestants AND the judges. Nobody knew wtf made anything "chaos cuisine". It's telling that two of the best chefs in the contest so far shit the futon most magnificently. Like what were either of them thinking, yikes.
  15. That was so easy, anybody could have done it. Also, look how smart I am for doing it!
  16. Wow, how did i miss this, shit is wild. I'm putting myself on ignore and calling my mom.
  17. "embarrassment of bitch-tits" I'm still relieved Bisontits withdrew from the portal. The loss of that nickname on this board would have been tragic.
  18. Aggressive high press and some tight midfield marking, we haven't sniffed a decent attacking chance yet and Driussi is invisible again. Maybe it will open up after St Louis gets on the board. Until then, more horseshoe of despair and bad first touches giving it away in the middle third. Ok we just had a scoring chance and did fuck all with it.
  19. That sucks. I have no idea, I think they just fucked us so hard two years ago and the comps have been so low since then that they had to correct it. It's either completely random dart throwing or possibly because houses were sitting on the market for so long, that not enough of them actually sold to be used as comps.
  20. The follow-up episode was a complete waste of time, just fyi.
  21. Down 13.5% in Hays. I'm pinching myself, I thought they would raise it again for no reason just because it's their favorite.
  22. First game I have attended this year, and it was a blast. I thought the Stuver foul was a red in person, but the replay shows a defender in good position, it could have been but also MLS refs tend to call that a yellow when it's farther out. Lucky call there. If we can't figure out something to solve our issues at right back, we're going to need 3-4 goals to win games. Crazy how big of a dropoff it was from Lima to Jimenez, and Gallagher seems less effective on the right than the left. We need to be starting Biro and Gallagher from now on with Jimenez coming in at RB and moving Gallagher to left if Biro is coming out. Or we need to just play 3 CBs. We are currently a fucking sieve in transition. Two wins and multiple players coming on to create goals and chances in the attack, it's a good trend if we can pair it with better defending on counterattacks. I think Wolff needs to figure this out to keep his job, the roster had the pieces to get back into the playoffs. I'll be firmly team Wolff out if he doesn't figure it out this year.
  23. He must be really good at tracking the deep ball if his head can turn 180 degrees. Can he play DB?
  24. You're probably seeing more than I am, I haven't been to a game in a while and my attention wanders when we struggle. I'm honestly mystified by our midfield overall since last season. I'm hoping we figured something out that can be built on and wasn't just a product of the opposition being ass.
