I like his style of attack and his emphasis on hard work. We struggle sometimes matching the talent of our opponents  and have to make it up with effort and outhustling the opponent. He is definitely what we need as a young team.

I think that was one of MAR’s problems. Too focused on tactics and not just on letting good players do what they do. CL seems to have simplified what he wants then to do and then just go do it while keeping intensity up

I had gotten off of the CL wagon but I think the extension is fine. He’s shown he’s not above changing things and being flexible which I don’t think MAR ever was. Moving Swiderski to the 10 has paid off the last 3 games and I hope we’ll see Santos start here the last 3 games

Baker’s still been better than Sam. I think if Darnold was starting we wouldn’t have been in any of the games because he would’ve turned the ball over too much

Seeing Swiderski’s goal for Poland, man I hope Nuno can get him deliveries like Lewandoski gave him. That must be an amazing feeling for Karol to get that delivery from a living legend in their home country

Don’t think there are a ton of options for Tepper as he’d have to work with both the NFL and MLS as he’d be moving both teams.

Only city that really makes sense is San Antonio (St. Louis is already getting an MLS team).

I don’t think MLS would go for their newest expansion team in a market they’ve wanted being shipped off. Plus Texas is already kinda saturated with Dallas, Austin and Houston. Hell there’s only 2 NFL teams in Texas

My first restaurant job ever was at Woodlands in blowing rock which is also now closed

Damn so Woodland’s fully closed now? I had heard it wasn’t great after the ownership change. My family loved that place but my parents went last year and said it wasn’t good anymore

Does the bagelry still deliver or has that been relegated to the gig economy? I used to get overstuffed bagelicious delivered as a hangover cure many moons ago.

Not sure. I used to use the hell out of Boone Takeout when I was in school. They were DoorDash before that was even an idea

Booneshine Brewing in East Boone area is fast becoming a hot spot. Boone Bagelry is still kicking around and one of my favorites for breakfast if I’m in town

Santos needs to start next game as the 10. He was putting the ball in some dangerous scoring areas and that run for his goal, we haven’t seen that all season

Alcivar playing as an extra 6 in the double pivot looked good as well. He actually looked comfortable and somewhat competent 

LMAO HOLY fuging poo

Saw the Santos goal. It was sick

Lmao we’re toast. Turning this off

I need this game as a fuging comedown after that App State game

Hope Luke reps his Tar Heels 

It must make you mad that someone else is having fun and getting recognition. Must be sad to not want anyone else to be happy 

Saw this randomly on Twitter and thought it could be an interesting opportunity for CLT FC if they were chosen. With Tom Glick now at Chelsea and the game from this past summer, seems like an existing link to get us in the door

Get Fuchs out of here

He was a good signing for experience and leadership, but that’s kinda fallen by the wayside. Like, it was a blatant elbow that isn’t getting past VAR. really put the team in a bad spot

Fuchs. Red card. Don’t wanna see him on the field anymore. Let Mora or someone else go at LB

Swiderski at the 10 might be his best position for The Crown. Beautiful cross into Rios for the goal

Just suck that the one DP MF we have can’t even see the field. I think we need to buy down Alcivar and Joz’s DP contracts to open them and then save them for legit DPs like Toronto did

Soccer and football are 2 very different things. You only get 2 short windows in soccer to bring new people in vs football where you can make trades and signings all season

Plus, MLS is different in how contracts and money are structured. Only DP players can be paid w/e. Everyone has like a cap of $1.5M. That’s how Toronto landed 2 studs from Italy. They had 2 DO spots open. We’re a first year franchise, learning how MLS operates. What were you expecting?

Sat this one out for college football, looks like I didn’t miss anything.

I wanted to hope we could get a win after I sat through App’s loss in Boone. I was too tired to care by the end of this fiasco

So over the “build out of the back” bullshit. How about, on goal kicks, we just boot them? Might not give up goals that way

Lowes and BOA have always made sense considering their local roots… taking that away would be yet another example of Tepper wanting to establish a new legacy and rid the organization of any past relationships. 

Lowes has a league wide sponsor deal with the NFL, so Tepper might end w/e with the Panthers but they’ll still be there

That Canyon ATX or w/e looks dope though 

THE KING HAS RETURNED!!
