#1432372 Metro - Cincy Game Thread

You can blame the injuries, you can blame the international call ups, you can blame yellow cards, but this team is just not good. Sorry not sorry. This is more than just a lucky bounce here and there.

Dude is ice cold right now.  8 goals on the season, but 0 goals since April 1.


I guess not ice cold anymore


#1429743 Tom Barlow Appreciation Post!

Oh god 67% I consider myself a perennial optimist when it comes to this team but you're asking a lot here! 
 
It was a great assist, no way to discount the play. And hey, he should have had an assist in MLS play with his through ball to Manoel last week too.


Lol oh God, I would consider the biggest optimists on these boards to be you Iced, Mcsoccer, and Ivo and this season Ive seen little optimism from any of you. I just want to start winning games again and this team to score more than one goal a game again.

New coach
New vibes
New beginnings

We beat DC 3-0.
First goal is from a penalty and the next two will come late in the game to finish them off. Read it here first.


#1429260 Things Struber says

Posted by Captain Koolaid on 05 May 2023 - 09:55 AM

Yeah... that makes sense. 
 
I'm not trying to hate on him for English not being his first language, but sometimes he speaks in mis-translated sports euphemisms. 
 
I'd rather he just say "The players who are available have to play at their best." I dont know. Not a big deal, but sometimes I wonder if the implementation of Strubers tactics is under the border because the players have difficulty immediately understanding what he is trying to tell them. 


If thats what is going on in the locker room, then thats NOT sexy at all.

#1424995 *Sigh* Another preseason

First championship this season 😜


#1423838 Do we need another center back?

Posted by Captain Koolaid on 21 January 2023 - 09:23 AM

Hope this gets done.

Luq , Morgan and DV behind Burke or even those three as a three with a solid mid and def which all we need is one CB could be a tough mls team.


I would love a team like that. Only concern would be CB its the lost of Long but Im hoping that we have something figured out at least by the end of the summer window.

Guessing she felt  Berhalter was being hypocritical and betrayed them and was same age as geo during his incident  (although 30 years ago)and the leak was continuing dragging geo name through the mud.

she lost her head and fired the ball into the stands


But he was a bad guy now that her son acted up and was punished for it, not when everything was fine and Gio was playing. Hm ok 👌🏽.

I agree, she did lose her head. Im trying to see her side but I cant believe she used someone elses trauma to get back at someone else. Classless imo.

How you know that this was not done? Would the Reynas have disclosed this incident? It was not big to them until the public diss of their son occurred.


This is what I dont get. Gios mother was ok with the domestic incident but now that her son was not given playing time and Gregg talked about him, now is the right time to tell US soccer about the incident? Some weak sauce soccer mom BS. I get that some of yall dont like Gregg and I dont agree with his tactics either; but to lose your job for something that ( and Im not trying to down play domestic abuse because that is a serious issue that many go through) has been addressed, mediated, and apparently has not happened since is so BS. You have to feel for Gio too. How will this impact is career specifically with the national team moving forward.

Lol oh baby, this team in playoff form already.


#1414649 Red Bull is incompetent

Posted by Captain Koolaid on 02 August 2022 - 08:19 AM

You guys are nuts lol. Its August, we're currently in a position to host a playoff game, we had a great Open Cup run, and half a dozen people are passionately convinced that the rest of the season is literally a waste of time.
 
I don't know where in the entire history of MLS you guys got the idea that only rosters with zero gaps are capable of winning MLS Cup. We're a good team, and especially when hosting some playoff games anything can happen. I cannot wrap my head around the wallowing some of you guys let yourselves fall into sometimes. Or some of the wallowing that some of you are permanently entrenched in. I'm having fun watching this year's team.

I think its a constant gut punch that it feels when this team plays. We were clearly the better of the four teams remaining just losing like that was just demoralizing. And to add insult to injury, if we would have won we would have hosted the final vs an USL team! Add to the fact that we have gotten little production from the forward position and it seems with less than 3 days left that we will not get anybody in the summer window is a perfect storm for being upset at the organization. For me its the fact that they will have a bobble head night with the bobble head of a player that not only isnt with this team, but isnt even with the mother club anymore.

We do have a good core of players and I do believe we have a foundation to do great things. I think we have a good coach and I feel our style of play is effective. I just dont think we will win SS or make a run in the playoffs. Would love to be proven wrong but theres a good chance, if we dont acquire a couple new reinforcements that we wont do much in the playoffs.


#1414637 Red Bull is incompetent

Posted by Captain Koolaid on 01 August 2022 - 11:51 PM

You are.

There are a couple of more days to sign a few lottery tickets. Klimala turns a corner, builds on his fecent Orlando showing, gains confidence and starts banging the goals in. Reyes comes back full time and becomes a rock (and stays healthy). Edwards decides to stay for 3 more months and finally plays on the right. Morgan and Luqui continue their great seasons. Tolkin somehow plays every remaining minute and stays healthy on his way to making the Qatar roster. Coronel convinces everyone he's all-MLS.

Weirder things have happened. But it's certainly not very likely.


So youre telling me theres a chance?


#1413658 Barlow is young, American, and cheap (also big, strong, fast)

Posted by Captain Koolaid on 25 July 2022 - 12:06 PM

I don't recall him ever scoring a goal like that. 


It was a great goal. Great for him. Hopefully a confidence booster.
