Should have bet on a Barlow hattrick in 107, 109, 111 for a come from behind win.

Glad we have 21 minutes for Tom Barlow to run around like a chicken with his head cut off.


Or stand inside the 6 yard box to tap in the rebound I guess. Starlow season is here.

If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

Still not good enough for the record

Vanzier has not been as advertised
Any decent AM is hurt or out of position
Strubers offensive tactics are poor regardless

Lots and lots of things still need fixing

Mediocre plan, even worse execution.

3-4-1-2 made everyone look worse, and I can't imagine it helps a team struggling to develop attacking chemistry to be playing their 3rd different formation in 7 games. Just stick with a formation until the team gels and then work in new looks.

But let's toss tactics out the window for a second because nothing a coach can draw up matters if your most expensive striker can't finish from six yards. I'd swear Vanzeir has had more touches in the six yard box already than Klimala had in two years, and he's flubbed all but one. He needs to be better.

What an embarrassing display of football.  Harper was the only silver lining.

Just horrible football.

I'm actually not looking forward to this one. Team has been boring to watch, and the ATL performance left a bad taste in my mouth. Plus it's supposed to be cold again around gametime. Can't believe how checked out I feel and it's only early April.

 

 

Also I'm shocked we're somehow favorites for this one. Easy money bet for this game is San jose win or tie (double chance)

 

If I was checked out before the game, imagine how I (and countless others no doubt) feel after  

 

Also hope someone was able to profit on my betting advice. Not me since I'm a homer apparently,  but hopefully others!  :(

A bright note to another bad game by our strikers and midfielders is that the Earthquakes still have not one win at RB stadium.

How does a team like us with so many ties come in at +380 for a tie???

Vegas is really good at sports odds for the "major" us leagues, but soccer (and mls in particular) is still ripe with betting opportunities if you're willing to set aside your red and black tinted supporters glasses

Anyone see those 2 as not reds for SJ?


Maybe the first one because of distance from goal but he was well ahead of the SJ defender in the middle.

the 2nd one the announcers were saying he pulled out of it a bit?

The first one is tough...if a red was given on the field for DOGSO, I don't think it would have been overturned, but I can understand why the yellow on the field wasn't considered a clear and obvious error.

The second seemed like it should have been red. It was a bad, reckless challenge, but he did try (and succeed) in pulling back when he realized what was about to happen. I'd err on the side of red there because it was still really reckless, but I can understand why they stuck with yellow. (I also wonder whether the ensuing shenanigans impacted the VAR decision on the foul).

1st one - no discussion of DOGSO. 

2nd one on Dylan - Weibe could go either way but ok with yellow because he pulled back on the leg prior to contact.

the ref they have on the video did not comment.

 

alleged slur - if Ref did not hear directly then basically followed process

MLS investigation is underway.
