Dear God if this is true

Better now than a home game we can probably win lol

I’ve seen it theorized that players may not actually have it but could’ve been false positive tests b/c of Canada’s strictness to enter the country still and it was too close for follow up tests to happen

or could be some of the players aren’t vaxxed. Canada doesn’t allow those in either

Not surprising really. Was never impressed with him and don’t think he fits CL’s system

I just finished watching TopBin’s stream from last night and he said someone told him he was barking up the wrong tree regarding this one, so likely not accurate 

Gaines really only seems to have the one move and at this point, teams have figured it out. He’s gonna dance and try and juke the defender before going to the end line for a cross. It’s so predictable at this point.

Khalina does so great at stopping shots but turns into a tater when the ball is at his feet and the other team presses him. He really needs to work on quicker and better decisions.

I like Bender but he needs more time and training to reign in control of his body. He’s constantly losing balance, inconsistent first touches, but he’ll be a force the longer he plays

Back line seemed to have solidified a little. It’ll be interesting to see if the attack gets any better with Swiderski back

That was a wild match last night against El Salvador, one of the worst pitches I’ve ever seen.

I wonder how the top Euro teams would handle CONCACAF? Going to developing countries and playing some truly awful fields and conditions 

Random thought I just had. Since Lattanzio is Italian and he admitted his Spanish isn’t great, do we start targeting less Spanish speaking player and focus more on Euros?

We def could use a facilitator in mid center. I hope he’d get an opp there is we landed him 

Just curious, in place of who? I think we’ll need to do some off-loading in the transfer since we’ve seemed to collect a surplus in some spots.

Walked should get the starts from now on. I thought our attack looked more consistently threatening than it has and the defense looked a little more solid and less prone to gaffs or being out of position. Whatever Lattanzio had them working on this week seemed to translate well into the game and was something they could confidently play

So are we going give credit Tepper for doing right by the players or ... ignore that?

The more and more that comes out, I think they did right by the club in general. The bit that TopBin90 had in their article about MAR not wanting to sign a 3yr deal and then reluctantly doing so says all that needs to be said about how committed he was to building an expansion franchise 

Fuchs dropping some juicy nuggets in his presser today 

so there’s that

I will be curious to see what Lattanzio does formation/tactic wise to maybe change things up

Swiderski’s gotta come back as the greatest MLS player ever or he just sank the inaugural season on ego

It was more than Swiderski. I think someone on either side is using him a the scapegoat example

id say go listen/watch Willie P and Jessica on the WFNZ YouTube talk about the firing. They mentioned some observations of things they saw/heard as media close to the team

So Swiderski got MAR sacked… if he doesn’t impress when he gets back from Poland then I’m going to be pissed… this isn’t the EPL for fug sake… MLS players should have no control over the front office moves.

Starting to sound like it was more than just Swiderski and MAR was losing the locker room, among other things

Posted this in the topic on the Panthers side, but feels more relevant here

A VERY interesting way of putting. Must be more to this than they’re willing to share

Thought this was interesting

Summer kit for hot months?

I think he read your post before this game lol

His 2nd was legit good. First one is on no pro should ever miss. I was pumped for him and hope it’s a launching point for him

Reyna is so fast. Also the dribble that put DeAndre Yedlin on his butt. Yo.

McKinze Gaines is fast too but he had trouble controlling the ball at his feet. 

Hope Fuchs is OK. 

Good game today by Charlotte FC.

Honest opinion, Gaines kinda sucks. He’s fast and that’s it. Can’t utilize it at all

I’d switch the whole thing up next game… 

4-3-3 Triangle

GK - Kahlina

LB - Mora

LCB - Fuchs

RCB - Corujo

RB - Afful

CDM - Alcivar

CM - Ortiz

CM - Ruiz

LW - Bender

ST - Swiderski

RW - Jozwiak

It’s a shame Armour and Hegardt got hurt. I’d love to have Hegardt at CDM and Armour at LB right now.

MAR heard you on the 4-3-3 anyway

"Carolina is the last team I would want my son to play for."

 

Damn

I want more details on this quote. Was McShay saying this because of Rhule? Or is there other meaning here?

Willis couldn’t beat garbage assed ULM last year and we’re discussing him at #6? At 6 you’re trying to draft game changers and franchise level players. Players who can lead their team to wins over bottom tier teams

This WAXN crap sucks for those of us who stream through other means. I hope I can watch on ESPN+
