Lots of smack talking on both sides at the end of the game, with Armas getting the crowd into it. Tata did pat Armas on the shoulder a couple times. Apparently it all started with Almiron saying something to Armas and Red Bull coaches laughing at him.

We're not the team with 13 PKs this year...

Sure, but we are the team with 3 penalties in 2 games v Atlanta.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Really just hope this rattles them for the rest of the season, like they are talked up as being the best team and unbeatable and they had nothing against us.

We were never losing this game. If we needed a goal late, the ref would of helped. Have to keep mls relevant during the last month.

We kicked some fuckin' ass today. 

Pressed this shit out of them, some tough tackles, elbows.  Was proud of them.

100% take-no-shit effort.

If you thought that ref was working for us, you were watching a different game than the one I was at.

How could you possibly watch that total beatdown we put on them and arrive at that conclusion? That was probably our most satisfying win of the season, considering the magnitude of the game and that we were missing our 2 most valuable players. Your loss if youd rather spin it into some ridiculous narrative.

Something probably not caught on camera was how many BS fouls their attack was getting away with in the first half against our backline. Just the most annoying absolute bullshite fouls to give themselves an extra jump on plays. Not a call. Not one. 45 minutes of that shit. So anyone who thinks we got the upper hand on the ref in this one is smoking crack.

This was our best performance of the season. Played as a team for 90 minutes. All in. Total commitment. We won that game. The ref didnt win it for us.

Josef stomped on Long and had a foul whistled in his favor, wtf is this talk about the refs being in our favor?

The last penalty was soft, but the game was long over at that point.

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.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, every sports fan of every team believes the refs are out to get them. That's simply impossible. Best ref'd game? No. Conspiracy theory from MLS to make the refs do everything they can to prevent us from winning? Doubtful.

Great win.  I don't think we're going to win the SS, but I think the win was great towards keeping us in their heads for the playoffs.  Or even perhaps hurting their confidence which causes them to lose one in the playoffs before playing us.

 

Shocked we were able to handle things so well without Tyler given how good Almiron is and the style he plays.

 

Just don't see us winning the SS though.  We have 2 games left on the road, they have 1.  Lately we've been seemingly having a tough time getting motivated for teams we should beat as well. San Jose stinks but we are flying across the country and that's never good.
