So we added Ream and Pep Biel. Not great but decent transfer window. Should get us to the playoffs.

the game on 8/24 is a massive one with a team we're looking up at in the standings. Great time to go for anyone with any remote interest.  It's time to make a big push, and this is a big one to kick it off.  Hopeful that Ream has plenty left in the tank (and Privett being available to spell him/keep him fresh and learn from him is awesome), and it's sick to have a contributing US MNT player on our roster.

As far as Biel--if he had been the first name we heard we probably would have been fine with it. Instead we spend entire transfer windows lauding fans with what ifs that never materialize. It's exhausting.  But I trust Dean and I hope we can gel and have a nice stretch run here. Hosting a playoff MLS game would be an amazing atmosphere.

We also got the 19 y/o Israeli fwd probably as a U-22

Think he’ll spend the rest of the season with Crown Legacy.

Also signed Jamie Paterson.

Thinking the best XI could be:

GK - Kristijan Kahlina

LB - Jere Uronen

LCB - Tim Ream

RCB - Adilson Malanda

RB - Nathan Byrne

CDM - Brandt Bronico

CM - Ashley Westwood

CAM - Pep Biel

LW - Jamie Paterson

ST - Karol Swiderski

RW - Liel Abada

Combination of Agyemang, Vargas, Iuri Tavares, Bender, Diani, Junior Urso, Petkovic, Lindsey, Privett, João Pedro, and Bingham on the bench.

Anyone else think pep was ass? Out of control trying to do too much and be too flashy

We're clearly losing interest or maybe Panthers talk just takes over.  That was a much needed win over a really bad team.

excellent get right game, just sucks that we put ourselves in position for it to be a must win. I don't love building important roster spots in the stretch run, but if we gel now it's better than the alternative

Got a tough one tonight followed by three very winnable games to close out the season. Would love to get a point tonight and then go on a run. Fourth is still in play if we can get 10 out of these last 12 points.

Huge point on the road against Miami.

Realistic shot at 4 seed if we win out against 3 bad teams

[MillionDollarCam]

Good win tonight though a 4-1 win would have been nice for the GD rather than a 4-3 win.

Unfortunately all the teams in front of us won so a home playoff game looks unlikely but if we could get to 6th so that we avoid Miami until the conference finals that would be nice.

Still think we move out of 7th. Also I came crazy close to smashing a massive cltfc parlay tonight.

When in think about it, I hate that the end of the MLS season/decision day and the playoffs are sandwiched right on an international window. Swiderski finally hitting form and he’ll be going away to Poland. Ream playing well at LB and he’s with USMNT…here’s hoping they come out healthy because right now, we’re a force and peaking at the right time

[toldozer]

We have played well against cinncy and Columbus this year I think I'd rather finish 6th or 7th to avoid Miami till a potential ecf.  I agree I hope the layoff doesn't hurt because the attack has been playing really well
