Not been following too closely, but can i assume this is the organization not taking a cup competition seriously again? Why are they sending out a team of reserves and back-ups in a CCL game that is essentially a must win to have a shot to advance (or draw at least)?
I don't get it, hell i have never got it in the years Red Bull has owned this team, how they can so casually dismiss going balls out in cup competitions. The fans to some extent have adopted that mentality. I never used to read many posts about the USOC or CCL being not as important as MLS league play, now its the norm outside of a few handcores. This team has never won an official trophy, ever. The only semi-official trophy they won was the supporters created and owned SS last season. How can they be so blase' about the CCL?
Does the South Ward plan any major protests or backlash against the franchise for taking this game less than serious? Where is the pressure on the organization from the fans?
