Liked: winning a game they outplayed the other team

Disliked: the ref, DC’s general shithousing, day game

That’s fair.

They did a good job of condensing space and keeping minimal distance between their lines

Please, please switch Rosales and Nelson. Not being able to hit Gally on overlaps is killing the attack down that side.

And yet Austin still can’t beat it

Please swap Nelson and Rosales today.

This Man United results probably dooms Austin FC today.

Loving how the Rapids are lining up on set pieces to cause defensive confusion on man marking.

It’s good to see teams incorporate basketball concepts into set pieces

And that’s their second goal since going down a man and winning 3-0.

Montreal not having an extra kit for Austin FC legend Brandan Craig is an insult

Chicago with 10 looks much better than Montreal with 11. #MLS

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

It only takes one club. (Also Ramirez had much better attacking players around him)

Radar chart showing Christian Ramirez and Myrto Uzuni were basically the same player in 2025

Highlights of Nico EstΓ©vez press conference so far: Equalizer happened in part because of a Robert Taylor knee injury messing with planned sub, and Biro/Sabovic held out for culture building reasons following red cards in last preseason match; they’ll be back next week
