RSL Game 34: Decision Day, Day of Decisions! RSL at Vancouver Sunday, October 6th 2:00pm MT

They've had a few tense moments and are under fire a bit at the moment. However, we were dominant for large stretches of the game punctuated by some typical Nick Rimando gymnastics.

 

Did we forget how to sub?

Seriously how is it that Freddy can't see the need for fresh legs here? It's ridiculous.

 

Not even just fresh legs: Vancouver's offensive subs flipped the field, and we need to counter tactically.

 

Agreed. If Van scores in next few minutes here, it is totally on the coach.

 

Coming into today, I was thinking FCD would be the team you'd want to face in the 1st round. This 6 goal performance today is a little worrisome, however.

 

80th minute and RSL only team in league not to have made a sub yet. Most teams have made multiple.

 

Kyle was so jazzed to take that shot, and waited for the ball so long, it was always going sky high.

Hey, some subs! Lennon and Rowe on for Savarino and Rusnak.

 

Houston scores to take the lead 3-2

 

Houston scores! 3-2 over LAG.

 

Go Houston!! [emoji322]

 

RSL completely parking the bus now

 

Five defenders and three d-mids? Maybe.

 

What a dumb foul from Vancouver, to trip up Everton who had nowhere to go and no one to pass to.

 

Brooks doing well to keep possession via keeping himself between the Caps and the ball so they have to foul him.

 

That's the whistle for regular season 2019. Let's go, Houston!

 

RSL wins by the tip of Rimando's finger

 

Houston scores again 4-2

 

Amazingly RSL finishes in 3rd place

 

At mid-season I had us missing the play-offs. Instead we finish 3rd, yet I wasn’t far off. Just another MLS season.

 

I didn't see that coming.

Good job, boys.
Good job, Petke.
Good job, Freddy.

 

PTFC worries me. Valeri in particular seems to have RSL's (and most team's) number. But the 6-0 win by FCD is also worrisome.

 

19th or 20th

 

Was thinking the same thing, yet in the end, the coach seems to have gotten it right.
