PBP: Atlanta United FC - San Jose Earthquakes (Saturday, 9/21) in-game thread [R]

Good. You were moving the goalposts anyway. Of COUSE there were other negative moments in the season, but with 4 games left we had a great shot at 6 vital points in 4 days.

 

Wow, Vega saves the day there.

 

I feel like Vega is saving the game!

 

aaand there goes the coach again

 

Matthias! My goodness. At least he's passionate.

 

Didn't get a look at what Almeyda might have done to get thrown out for that one. I assume he was yelling at the 4th official considering how far the center ref had to go.

 

Matias sent OFF AGAIN!?!?!?!

 

Vega with a big save again

 

Is Almeyda going to get himself suspended again?

 

I said it earlier and I'll say it again. Officiating in this game and MLS at large is absolute trash.

 

Vega stones the cross!

 

He walked off quietly so hopefully not.

 

crap, theres your ball game

 

Great job Atlanta, it only took you 55 minutes up a man to score.

 

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

so no Wondo or Espinoza next match

 

Atlanta was totally beatable today with 11 men.

 

Matias getting sent off really didn’t help us.

 

What did Wondo do?

 

Not with these refs. They were going to find a way to "help" Atlanta win.

 

Heartbreaking. Out here in Boston, I had to listen to this on radio because ESPN+ doesn't have the game this week. Ted Ramey has been wonderfully passionate throughout this game. His latest comments: "What on earth is Chris Penso doing? He is completely out of his mind. It's Chris Wondolowski who's been sent off. I've never seen anything like this. There are no words, folks. ... I have no idea what is going on inside the head of Chris Penso during this match."

 

All those Vega heroics for nothing.

 

WHAT?!?!?
