I’d do that and throw in an extra first if they take Gardiner.

Ortiz, like Franco, is on his way out of Charlotte. The writing was on the wall last night when he wasn’t included in the team. Both Ortiz and Franco were supposed to be a big part of Charlotte FC’s success but things didn’t work out. If I’m not mistaken, Charlotte now has two international slots available. The MLS summer transfer window closes on August 4th.

The team defense was superb last night. There were certainly times when Chelsea was dinking the ball around a lot but our boys stayed calm and didn’t lose shape. I still think overall we had just as many dangerous opportunities as Chelsea, though Chelsea certainly had more possession overall. Anywho, Chelsea will be fine as they were obviously missing some guys but it was still a big night for our group. On a different note… what the hell happened to Everton.

The boys showed what they are capable of, need this type of cohesiveness every game.

Give us a point on the EPL table!

The DA stated that he will pay the price for his actions, he could certainly be facing jail time.

IT’S OVER!!! CHARLOTTE FC DEFEATS CHELSEA FC CHARLOTTE FC 1 (5) - CHELSEA FC 1 (3) on PK’s Rios has been named Universal’s Man of the Match.

In PK’s and Rios just pulled out the panenka… lol.

RIOS!!!! LEVEL’S IT IN THE 92’

Wow… and Romero wins a penalty.

Romero in for Vargas, that’s everyone.

Now Hegardt in for Jones and Santos for Afful. Only Romero awaits.

Sisniega in for Marks and Alcivar in for McNeill. Just waiting on Santos, Hegardt, and Romero.

Looks like the second half lineup is: GK - Marks RB - Afful RCB - Walkes LCB - Makoun LB - Mora CDM - Jones LCM - Jozwiak RCM - McNeill LW - Vargas ST - Rios RW - Shinyashiki The only players who have not entered are Sisniega, Santos, Alcivar, Hegardt, and Romero.

Assuming we are going to have a bunch of subs next half… I’d like to see the below lineup for poo’s and giggles. GK - Marks RB - Afful RCB - Walkes LCB - Fuchs LB - Mora CDM - Alcivar RCM - Hegardt LCM - Bender RW - Jozwiak ST - Shinyashiki LW - Vargas

Overall, a solid first half from our guys. Chelsea had most of the possession but Charlotte certainly had chances as well. What was really nice to see is how good our defensive shape and team defense was. Outside of Pulsic’s goal off of an unlucky deflection, Chelsea didn’t create many high danger chances.

In the meantime, Tepper has bailed on another project.

And just like that Pulisic gets on the board for Chelsea after an unfortunate deflection. Charlotte FC 0 - Chelsea 1

Charlotte is really growing into this game, it’s probably the best performance from an MLS side so far in any of these international friendlies. Edit - I did not realize that Minnesota was thrashing Everton.

Just your typical rainy evening news dump in the middle of the Charlotte FC / Chelsea match.

Baker and DJ taking in the game.

I’d give Jarvis, Necas, Koivunen, and a first rounder for Tkachuck; he’s exactly what we need.

Everyone is available except Zendejas, Armour, Franco, Ortiz, and Mello. Romero has also been added from the academy.

He is fugedddddd.

We got Chelsea tonight, with it being a friendly, I’d like to see some of the guys that we haven’t seen in a while get some time: Marks, Lindsay, Sobocinski, Hegardt, Alcivar, Jones, Ortiz, Gaines, and Vargas.
