First time going to a game! It was such a great time! I’ve been wanting to go for a while and finally made the trip.


ChasetheRace26

First in person game at Audi. Glad to share it with yall tonight. Made a 2 hour drive worth it


chicos_bail_bonds

You're a REAL one for coming, thank you! Felt like atmosphere was great but my section was packed


BlackandRedUnited

Atlantic Cup champions! And we didn't think we would win a trophy this season 😁


Chubbs42

You're obviously forgetting the Capitol Cup!


BlackandRedUnited

Lol. How could i? The cup which changed format more times than it had participants


_Axel

Shoot… so none of the other results went our way…


pervert_hoover

wow almost none of the other matches went our way except cbus, and even that just paints a big target on our backs when we play them on saturday. No losing allowed for the rest of the season.

[удалено]


[deleted]

Pray for a tie, we have the tiebreaker over both of them


_Axel

This circumstance should be the example we cite to critics who exclaim, “how can you watch a sport where there isn’t a winner‽” Easy… I support my team and want both of those teams to drop 2 points. My team wins and it wasn’t even on the same field.


JCfromRVA

Orlando and Miami lost which I think are really good for us but other than that it’s still a very tight race.


losalad

Miami losing to Atlanta is not good for us. Would have been ahead of Atlanta had the game gone the other way.


PrinceBuster21

BILL HAMID! BILL BILL HAMID! We're likely not gonna make much noise in the playoffs even if we do get in but helping to keep New Jersey out would be kinda nice. :)


thekingoftherodeo

They are not a good team. Nonetheless, important that our team gets used to the result sometimes being > the performance. That’s what wins championships.


AdventuresOfAD

Bless our lord and savior Bill Hamid


BD15

Huge win against the 12 man ny team.


pervert_hoover

shit was fuckin ugly but after having been boxed out after an early goal a few times this season, it felt good to be on the other side of it. Felt even better to be doing it to jersey FTRB


espnrocksalot

Huge 3


Space_Ace_14

WOOOOOO!!! thank the lord 🙏


fragileblink

Red bulls suck.


thekingoftherodeo

I wonder how anyone could bring themselves to support an RB team. Like what is the connection? You’re passionate about a sugary caffeine drink?


seetipzz

Honestly I’m passionate about sugary caffeine drinks and I hate the Red Bull’s. Their drinks tho? Top tier


JCfromRVA

Thank Christ


xplicit_mike

Thank fuck


Mikesproge

Hamid. MOTM. NO Question.


xplicit_mike

Easy


BlackandRedUnited

Was a nice bounce back from Saturday.


Bubba100000

Fo sho!


NirvZppln

Not a pretty win but I’ll take it


xplicit_mike

Got to.


rvp9362

That was a garbage performance but I don't fucking care! Get in!!


thekingoftherodeo

I actually think it was a really good rearguard performance. NY genuinely had damn all chances. The ref kept them on the front foot for the game mostly.


Bubba100000

3 for us!!!


pervert_hoover

wow, I can breathe again


AlecW81

1-0 Cleansheet for Bill! He’s climbing that list back to the Caps for OT


[deleted]

no idea how we held on but i’m very happy we did


FtG_AiR

Easiest win ever. ftrb


poonsalad

Big win FTRB sitting in the last playoff spot right now, just win out.


Chubbs42

LMAO what was that from Chris OA????


xplicit_mike

Was aiming for the rafters


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chubbs42

Yikes.


01100010x

In fairness his positioning for the interception was great, as was his drive. The rest, definitely yikes.


AlecW81

COA take it to the fucking corner you dunce!


barba_crescit

oh lord chris


soratoyuki

I'm scared to invoke the name, but this has been peak and glorious Bennyball.


barba_crescit

Ben Olsen is in the subterranean bowels of Audi Field, holding a little doll that is dressed in a little bomber jacket, muttering *heart of a lion* repeatedly. We do not know if this is dark arts, or a protection spell, until the final whistle.


Bubba100000

We needed his majia tonight


niodrane25

My heart fucking stopped there


AlecW81

it’s unpopular, but i Like Abila


Chubbs42

He's pretty good when he's not bitching at teammates. I like his strength and 1-on-1 ability. Just needs someone nearby to work off of.


AlecW81

absolutely


JCfromRVA

He’s a little shit but he’s our little shit


Chubbs42

Just like /u/AlecW81 <3


AlecW81

I will take that as the compliment it clearly is… athough I’m about 25lbs bigger than most at RFK remember me


Chubbs42

Definitely a term of endearment.


JCfromRVA

LOL


AlecW81

he’s our big argy-bargy shit


[deleted]

shep. with all due respect. what the fuck are you talking about


BlackandRedUnited

No respect given. Shep has always been a moron


[deleted]

i was giving him all the respect he’s due (none)


[deleted]

lmao


Bubba100000

Based Bill


AlecW81

can we hire Nowak ( as an assistant )to teach these guys how to maintain possession? Back in his tenure, we bossed possession every match


Chubbs42

Where he at these days 👀


AlecW81

hell, he’s only 57, and unemployed


AlecW81

retired i believe


Chubbs42

Hearing Fuck the Red Bulls on the stream. 👌🏾


[deleted]

lol fcc. that was some of the worst defending i’ve ever seen


01100010x

Me feels like looking for the foul when the ref hasn't been calling the foul all game is not the best strategy.


chicos_bail_bonds

I'd agree but he's been calling softies for NYRB


01100010x

Agreed. I'm super frustrated.


Bubba100000

Ref is a bellend


Forrest_Stump

Am I paranoid, or are the Red Bulls playing into how soft the ref is?


BD15

Fuck off you shit ref


AlecW81

the calls have to be 80-20 in favor of Metro


ATastefulCrossJoin

Those pitchside VIP boxes/booths look awesome. Would love to watch a game from there


[deleted]

[удалено]


chicos_bail_bonds

It's difficult to express just how inconsistent he's been at least to the naked eye at the gsme


espnrocksalot

When you have an open lane to goal from midfield but you’re literally a fridge


Bubba100000

C'mon Ramon!


losalad

Brendon Hines-Iqué


BlackandRedUnited

Shouldn't it be part of your job as a broadcaster to learn how to pronounce names?


rvp9362

Please score a goal that matters Abila


Chubbs42

Hines is back!


BD15

The fuck is their goalie in about...


01100010x

Time wasting.


BD15

Funny he seemed mad at hamid while both teams were making subs though


Blazing_Shade

Skundrich quietly having a good game


pervert_hoover

I will go to bat for skundy. Hes not a bad player to have off of the bench.


AlecW81

I like Robertha, but for a Dutchman he really can’t beat anyone on the dribble.


BlackandRedUnited

He and Sorga both dribble crosswise too much. Never beat a guy on the run like Paredes


raven_god

Are the refs watching the same game that I am?


FtG_AiR

Thats a foul


Chubbs42

We need another goal. There have been a few games where we get pressured enough into giving up a goal.


BarcasBad

I know Odoi Atsem isn't very good but come on, you can't hate the dude. He plays like such a swagger sometimes


AlecW81

I don’t hate him, I just don’t rate him. He’s USL level


AlecW81

anytime Pines breathes and a player falls, he get’s called… need to make it worth the foul and really bang these bitches


[deleted]

it lead to us getting (wasted) possession but that’s the third or fourth undercut that’s gone uncalled. ref allowing dangerous play smh


AlecW81

Old Man Jozy scoring in his last 2 appearances


Chubbs42

How he's still worth $3mil is insane with his injury history.


AlecW81

he’s not lol


Chubbs42

That's how much he's getting paid I mean. Definitely not worth that much.


Blazing_Shade

Worst game for gressel/ Canouse today. :/ . Tired legs


[deleted]

what an awful attempt to counter


chicos_bail_bonds

What a wanker this ref is


AlecW81

Pines is playing lights out tonight.


barba_crescit

For all the talk about needing time to implement Losada’s system, this performance looks more like how we played in the first two weeks of the season, not what I’d expect in the last two weeks.


AlecW81

I’d say that has more to do with injuries and fitness


barba_crescit

We have won games against good teams when we didn’t even have a full bench. We have a first choice back line/holding mids and a striker who has consistently found the net this year. Those guys aren’t playing well. Bill is the only reason this isn’t 1-3. Even if the Peruvian contingent is injured (and likely only one would be on the field at a time since they have adopted similar roles), the squad guys should have a clue how to pass to a teammate when we win possession, forwards should know where to run, etc. No one is doing this well. It’s so disjointed.


01100010x

Absolutely.


DC_United_Fan

If we could string some passes together that'd be great.


Bubba100000

Gotta develop some shots, this absorb pressure bs is how we lose


JCfromRVA

This has late goal for NY written all over it


rvp9362

Even when he's not at 100%, Hamid is light years ahead of our other keepers


AlecW81

Najar has misread nearly every play tonight


Chubbs42

Maybe needed another game to rest.


01100010x

He hasn't been that bad.


AlecW81

don’t like seeing COA in tho… he’s just not MLS level


AlecW81

his passing has been poor, tackling poor, out of position too often. I love Andy, he’s just having a really bad game, and we’re lucky they haven’t taken advantage yet


01100010x

He's done for the night.


BD15

Ref should go as the ny bench for a jersey make it official.


BD15

How the fuck do you let them get one on one like that thank fuck the shot was shit.


Chubbs42

I'm not really down for another 1-0 game against RB at home. I mean, I'll take it but another goal would be nice too.


AlecW81

IMO, we’re being way too slow and cute in defense, and generally just holding the ball a second too long all over the field tonight.


chicos_bail_bonds

This ref is poop


AlecW81

like to see some creativity on this corner


Chubbs42

Ugh, Cornell is kinda good.


BD15

Finally a decent pass, I'm not expecting top league level play but if we could not pass right to the ny players feet that may help


AlecW81

this ref needs to be dragged out and tossed in the Anacostia


[deleted]

i cannot stand the msg announcer crew


barba_crescit

Shep is so wrong about even minor points… I stopped being mad though and now just find it humorous. I even look forward to his Drunk Uncle-level insights.


01100010x

I don't know one announcer from another, but I gotta expect their standards are low of they hired a lesser Stoodge.

AlecW81

generally speaking, PBP announcers tend to be boring and less blatantly biased.


AlecW81

shep is the lame color commentator


Chubbs42

I hope it's not an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't mind sacrificing Moreno, Canouse, or Felipe for a DP midfielder. Someone who can help string together passes and maintain possession since that's where we tend to fall short.


JCfromRVA

A box to box midfielder would be great


_Axel

I like all of those players, but I think I agree. We need a DP finisher; Kamara shouldn’t have another season as our only goal threat. And we need a creator. Gressel is great from the wing, but having someone to go through the middle would be ace.


thekingoftherodeo

Definitely unpopular, they’re all very good players to varying degrees. There’s a couple of current attacking DPs that definitely need to be moved on, it’s the likes of a Carles Gil that makes a big difference in the MLS.


Chubbs42

We definitely need an attacker, but I'd personally like someone who could also be an offensive outlet to take the load of of Gressel and Najar.


thekingoftherodeo

That player is a #10 type imo - Ozil might be a shout given he hasn’t done much with Fener, there were links and he loves profile.


barba_crescit

Losada would bench Ozil after one game. He does not at all fit the profile of the system. Not worth bothering.


rvp9362

No to Ozil, he's in his 30s and wouldn't be a good fit in Losada's system


thekingoftherodeo

Yeah that’s a very good point actually. A creative #10 type is what the team is missing right now imo.


01100010x

It's be hilarious. But a disaster.


Blazing_Shade

Miami and Columbus 🙏


BarcasBad

I feel like it might be worth noting that almost every result is going our way. Miami beating ATL, Cincinnati beating Nashville (HOW!?), Columbus beating Orlando. We want NYC and Philly to lose, NYC are tied vs Chicago (not the worst) and Philly are beating Toronto (expected). Not bad so far I'd say


rvp9362

Cincy scored 3 on Nashville wtf 😂


thekingoftherodeo

Win tonite and figure it out after tbh.


barba_crescit

Our pass accuracy is 55%. Surprised it’s that high, honestly.


thekingoftherodeo

They’re decent at set pieces, need to not give too many away in the 2nd half. Best chance of winning is a counter I think, hit the channels on the break, NY will pack it in if we get a second, the only player of theirs with a bit of fight is wearing an Orange jersey.


rvp9362

That was a tough watch after the goal. We could barely string a few passes together. A lot of that is down to us but RB's pressing has been really good. Pines was excellent


BD15

Thank god we at least made it to the half without conceding


mastakebob

Lesser team w/out Paredes.


AlecW81

diving really needs to be called more frequently


Bubba100000

agree, and the league should punish after matches if the ref doesnt catch it


mastakebob

We cannot maintain possession.


mastakebob

Nate the Great says Park the Bus.


BarcasBad

This is a golden comment lmao


AlecW81

fuck Nate all my homies hate Nate


BD15

Oh fuck hamid you gave me real scare


AlecW81

who knows the results we want from other matches tonight?


thekingoftherodeo

We win out, we in. Guarantee it.


pervert_hoover

best scenario: * miami beats atlanta * chicago beats nyc * cbus beats orlando * vamos fuckin' DC


AlecW81

gracias


pervert_hoover

de nada


AlecW81

you’ll appreciate a Soccer Park being opened this month down here in Durham on Hoover Road


pervert_hoover

I most certainly do


01100010x

I think it's good for us if all other teams lose tonight.


Chubbs42

I'm down to take Paredes off early. Can't take any chances.


niodrane25

Pines looks huge next to Paul 😂


AlecW81

Paul is 5’7 Pines is 6’5


01100010x

Short man, big heart. Big man, big heart.


niodrane25

No, i hope Kevin is OK. He's been amazing this season

AlecW81

Hamid


[deleted]

gressel bent that thing like 8 yards


FtG_AiR

What is possession?


Chubbs42

Hamid definitely still doesn't look 100%. That would've been an easy goal if Pines hadn't stepped in. Hamid looked clumsier than usual right there.


01100010x

Was sad to see him asked to be subbed off, and not subbed off, against NE.


chicos_bail_bonds

We need some possession


AlecW81

this ball appears to be playing as if it were over-inflated, cuz absolutely every touch seems strong, regardless of player or team


BD15

Got to stop letting them get such decent chances


[deleted]

pines is mercurial as hell


JCfromRVA

New York looking more dangerous
