    I can’t decide what I like more about that goal. The bending ball in, or that controlling first touch that set up the finish. That’s a damn good goal.

    St. Louis hangs on to beat Sacramento, 2-1. 4th straight win for STL puts them in the USL playoffs as of now. The Republic see their 6-game unbeaten streak halted.

    What Joe Carter did to Philly is Canadian folklore.

    The Loons obviously didn't need this.

    That's an unbelievable amount of space around Ramirez in the box!

    That'd be the extra central defender RSL deployed to close down space.

    Wait . . .

    That was pretty easy-peasy for LAFC. Bad news for RSL...they continue to play like a youth team on the road. Understandable given the youngsters on their squad. Good news for RSL...LAFC is prone to a Jenga-like collapse in the second half lately.

    You could have dropped the word “Canadian“ and it still would’ve been a correct statement. That was an amazing moment.

    There’s a reason Canada hasn’t won the Stanley Cup since 1993...

    Nursing my 2nd long island and so far it doesn't make the Salt Lake defense look any better. I do find myself caring less, however.

    Having not watched any of RSL’s games this year, I can honestly say that this is the best I’ve seen their defense look all season.

    Goalkeeping change? What’s up with this?

    Rimando was kicked in the groin-al region early on, and looked a bit uneven thereafter. Enter Andrew Putna, who was like third on the Real Monarchs depth charts prior to everyone else getting injured.

    This has was already a lousy day in RSL-land, as touted prospect/top scoring U18 in the US youth system Sebastian Soto signed with Hannover 96. Since he was 17, he's free to go for free.

    That's three like that this year.

    Very kind of LAFC to stop shooting and let debutant Andrew Putna get his feet under him.

    AR should have signaled for offside.
    That was obvious.
    Now LAFC has a corner.

    Clear offside. However to much hesitation from Betiashour.

    I agree with Beckerman on this one: it's a "********ing joke" that waiting to flag for offside to see if a goal ensues can result in a corner kick when a play would have been called back if it was a goal.

    We’ve seen that good once tonight and bad once tonight.

    I’m OK with temporarily keeping the flag down to let the play play itself out. That’s fine. But eventually, you have to make the call. Not to mention, that one wasn’t even close.

    its unforgivable when you see the ARs positioning on it too. He knew it was offside just hesitated to flag then chose not to.

    The whistle blew so quickly on the ensuing corner kick that that had to be a makeup call. There wasn’t even time for a foul to occur at that point.
