PBP: MLS is Back 2020 Tourney PBP thread [R]

I can't get over how bad FCC's defense is. There were four defenders around that that shot that was deflected out for a corner.

 

Shoelace break in place of a hydration break.

 

I can. They were bad last year and they added.....a guy from the 12th best team in Sweden. And they added no d-mids. They put all their eggs in the "we can possess and attack teams to death" as their form of defense. Locadia is going to be good. Kubo? Not sure. Regattin? Doubt it. de Jong? Considering he could barely get on the field in the A-League, I think not. It is a bad roster build save for the man that was bought for 20 million dollars a few years ago.

 

FFS FCC.

They can't even get out of their own way on a free kick.

 

Hillarious FK for Cincy: Waston ran in front of the shot and blocked it.

Mrs. Ismitje is quite bothered and confused by the quote from Waston that he is Cruz's daddy. I have no interpretation to offer.

 

Waston only defends at the wrong end.

 

Holdover from the Dayton Dutch Lions days, apparently.

 

"Cincinnati are bad. Especially tonight - they were extra bad." - Stuart Holden

Not much more to say than that.

 

A comb happened...

and the crowd goes wild.

 

@Knave is running MLS social media evidently.

Sorga was initially scheduled to be on the bench but then was dropped from the game-day roster. DCU did not want to comment.

Fuuuuuuuuuck

 

Both teams have a potential positive test. Shut it all down.

Well, damn.

 

Welp - at least the Crew went out on a high.

 

Update to what sitruc posted seems to indicate DC followed testing protocols to play today's game.

MLS Deputy Commissioner Mark Abbott on a conference call says TFC game will be rescheduled. Confirms one DC player had positive test, but not final positive as awaiting results of second test. TFC player had inconclusive test, player has been re-tested. #TFCLive
