That finish from Dreyer 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

It's been a minute since I've been this invested into non RBNY matches, but Sunday Night Soccer has been brilliant tonight

#DOOP vs #NYCFC with insane late game drama
#OrlandoCity vs #InterMiamiCF filled with goals and drama

More of this please!!

Result and sketchy ref choices aside.

#OrlandoCity have a baller in Collin Guske. Dude was the best player on the field (not wearing GK gloves) vs RBNY and was very impressive again today vs Messi and friends.

One we'll be keeping an eye on for sure

That is a really bad wall set up by Crepeau, followed up by a really weak save attempt. From bad to worse for #OrlandoCity

Man, that's another really soft yellow to send Guske off. There's not enough in there for even a foul, let alone a yellow imo.

#OrlandoCity not losing due to Elfath, but that was poor

A tale of two halves. It's like #OrlandoCity didnt even show up for the 2nd 45

That was some Harlem Globetrotters stuff from #InterMiamiCF. Just running back and forth handing it off until someone hits a banger hahaha

Talk about instant impact for #InterMiamiCF! What a finish from Silvetti!!

That is a WORLD CLASS FINISH from Ojeda. #OrlandoCity are absolutely FLYING

What a start in the Florida Derby!!!

#OrlandoCity have been up for every bit of it.

DSC is going to want that one back btw

Never like to think about the ref at the end of any game, but tough to feel like Penso didn't significantly impact that game in stoppage time.

#DOOP v #NYCFC delivered regardless

Sat down at 230 and wont move rest of the day. Really loving it!

#DOOP vs #NYCFC

LMAO Penso has to be one of the worst refs in the league. Player doesnt get a call going his way, in a game as high energy as this, reacts by punching the air. AND YOU SEND HIM OFF???

FOH man.

#DOOP vs #NYCFC didnt need that nonsense to end what has been a really good game

Between the one that they went to VAR for, and this one....

This one is Charmin soft. #NYCFC hard done by there. Maybe ball won't lie....

It really sees like #DOOP is allergic to transition defense. Countless time #NYCFC attacking numbers up and even after the first save, still don't have enough back to deal with it, or aren't in a good enough shape. Imagine that will be at least some of the Carnell halftime talk

Welcome to #AustinFC, Christian Ramirez! What a way to announce your debut!!

#AllforCincy's Evander truly is in a class of his own.

Was #MLS wrong to let go of Matt Doyle right before a World Cup year?

We are joined by @bobvsoccer.bsky.social to chat about this and all other aspects of the current state of #MLS media in our latest episode

Definitely seems like a 6/8 vs an 8/10. Which explains why he wasnt relied upon at that moment when trying to win the game

When Hoyos was signed, the biggest issue we saw was his inconsistency in building out of the back. Tons of turnovers in bad areas that lead to goals.

And here we are again, #ATLUTD down because of an awful turnover, and a lack of effort to keep it out.

Hibbert time pls?

Yea could tell they very much wanted to keep on with the press and with the momentum they had.

Wasn't pretty, wasn't perfect, but is is 3 points to the good guys.

Vamos Metro! #RBNY

Dont do this to me #RBNY. See it out

Andy Rojas with the ever rare 45 minute cameo for #RBNY where he enters and exits in the same half. Awesome

#RBNY look absolutely gassed to end this one. Pressing with as much intensity as they have, it makes sense, but again, we're lucky its NE to kick it off, other teams will hurt us if we give them that much time and space

Cade Cowell is having one of those games that made me fear his #RBNY signing this year. Inconsistent, not much end product. I have faith that this is a one off.

Also seems Forsberg is a step off it as well. Again, likely a one off, but against better sides, these will come back to hurt us, imo.

With the initial entry ball in from Matty dos Santos, also 17

A special shout to D. Nealis as well, who has also looked super solid.
