Common sense tells us this is 3 easy points, right? However, will they manage to mess up this opportunity? No Hondurans, slower team, away game...
remarkable how sh*t the corners and crosses generally can be from professional players... consistently over hit out of bounds
Boniek has delivered two corners wayyyy over everyone and out for a throw on the other side... jesus dude
Why the hell is Willis starting over Deric tonight? What has Deric done to deserve getting dropped? Willis handed that second goal to Colorado on a silver platter.
All I can think of he was gonna play 1 tonight and the other on Wed vs. Montreal but Willis played 3 days ago as well which sort of defeats the purpose of alternating them for rest. Leonardo is terrible, first 2 goals he screwed up and was lazy.
Reality is that tonight without Elis and Quioto, this is nothing more than a slightly enhanced version of the 2016 Dynamo with some better coaching.
Yikes, i hope we got options lined up for the summer because we need to be able to get results away for a chance to make it deep in the playoffs.
P*ss poor defending, lazy p*ss poor coaching. 9 minutes tick off the clock from going down 3-1 to subbing like he cares if that changes. I know in theory we "looked" more interesting in the second half but that's not what was happening on the scoreboard. If you want the result to change you have to, you know, change something you're doing.
