#1396018 Post-Metro Exit MLS Playoff Thread

Well we probably only got a few years left on this planet anyway once World War 3 starts


We could dress up eleven cockroaches in tiny RBNY kits and have them be the only team on our ruined planet and they would still lose MLS Cup

While we are cursed and this sucks, its not even the 100th worst thing that has happened to our team in its history.

Face it, we deserve nothing. This was inevitable.

Maybe they can parade around with the Shield before the game and give the fans some reason to bother showing up.

Etienne has real character. That was a brutal miss, but his goal showed amazing poise.

Why the F was Etienne the guy? I am getting Roy Miller over Henry free kick flashbacks


It was such a bad penalty. That stupid scuttling around never works.

I don’t think anyone would give a shit if the .00001% chance that Barron Trump eventually plays in MLS comes to pass in a decade, well after his jerkoff dad is out of office. But it would be funny to see the MAGA chuds in our fan base twist themselves in knots trying to pretend to support our team while really wanting failson Trump to beat us.

We just need to get on a hot streak for the playoffs and all you complainers will be drinking a nice cup of STFU

According to brain damage man, they spent 45 minutes practicing one of the most godawful set pieces I have ever seen

The only real question is, how many goals do we spot the Wiz before we send in Veron to score one more


#1307113 Duka in traning/trial

I think this is actually the best situation for him - he'll be forced to play a more defined role under Marsch and put in the hard work to play a pressing style. Dude can hold the ball and has good vision.

Western Conference Final at Salt Lake in 2008.

Gave up like 24 shots, 2 posts, 6 corners with (!!!) Danny Cepero in goal & we win a road playoff game in another conference. That was some powerball shit right there.


One of the greatest moments in that this team has ever seen came late during that match. We had our 1-0 lead from an early vdB goal, then spent the rest of the match getting absolutely barraged. Somehow we held on for most of the game, until a long pass found Clint Mathis, wearing an RSL shirt, all alone and staring into a wide open Metro goalmouth with ball settling at his feet. With only the simplest shot needed to level the score, Mathis took the pass, looked towards goal, and... totally fucked it, missing badly and preserving a 1-0 win and a first-ever trip to the MLS Cup final for the Metro.

In my memory, after blowing that sitter, Clint turned to ESPN's goal-side camera and followed up his grand miss with a outrageous wink to all of Metroland. I know it didn't happen that way (or DID IT???), but we all know that it was, without a doubt, the single greatest miss in Metrostars history.


#1301519 Potential signings incoming?

Posted by Haig on 16 May 2017 - 01:05 PM

They're gonna make a half assed bandaid signing or 2 and not address the real problem at all.

 

This is probably true, but even so, we shouldn't accept the supposed strategy of making a late-season signing to spark the team into rolling through the playoffs.

 

It's not just the fact that counting on a summer transfer window signing to turn the season around literally almost never works.

 

What should infuriate us is that the fake strategy, depending on a late season signing to fix the team's glaring flaws, is actually a band aid covering over a bad, stingy ownership who wants to spend as little as possible while keeping up the appearance of being a competitive team. They think we're stupid.

 

I can't wait until Red Bull fucking sells.
