No surprises there. Sacramento were not very good, but I can't believe how bad SKC looked. Great penalities from Sac though.
Is that just the cherry on top of a suck ass season. At least SKC can go back to being beat by better teams in a 90 minute loss instead of dragging us through that kind of torture.
Maybe without a cup run to distract us, we can finish ahead of at least someone in the standings? Not getting any points this weekend though, haha.
Time to go Peter. 120 minutes for Espinoza? Zusi for 120 minutes? Ben Sweat for 116 minutes? WTF? This team couldn't score in a brothel with a $100 bill taped to their forehead.
did peter really leave three subs on the bench in a 120 min game? he should be fined for dereliction of duty as a manager... and then fired once he accepts the fine. i'll say it again... what a disgrace.
I’m not sure if the number. We subbed in three. But your point stands regardless. Roger alone was simply a confounding decision to leave on for 120. But any fresh legs would help. And no arguments for saving legs for the weekend. This game was the season. If nothing else, if PV didn’t get the atypical importance of this cup rum amidst this craptastic season, should get the attention of ownership.
Sadly, I've come to the reluctant acceptance that this will never happen. The only way Peter leaves will be on his own. He's not getting fired or forced out. It's too bad, because he runs SKC like a dictatorship. No dissenting ideas are allowed and that is not a healthy way to run an organization.

People suggesting voting with your eyes and dollars a couple months ago on reddit got absolutely shit on. I guess we'll see if that changes now.
I was a 10 year+ STM with four seats through 2019. I went to one match last year (friends invited me) and none this year. No merch (I'm way over-due for a shirt, but I've found recent designs to all be meh), no concessions, and no revenue from me. It's real money at scale.
We should make room in the trophy case. We're number 30. We're number 30... So, if the US had pro-rel and we dropped down, where would we finish on this form? We really don't even know who we are right now. We don't press well, so we aren't a pressing team. We can't possess well enough to be a possession team. We're too slow to be countering team.
Technically, we are 28 out of 28. With 10 games left, are the solid front runner for the 2022 Wooden Spoon. Can you Paint that Wall with a wooden spoon? If relegation were a thing in the US, we 100 percent would be relegated. As we saw against Sacramento, no guarantee SKC 2023 would finish in the top of USL and get promoted. Sacramento is not a top USL club. Given the fact that there is literally nothing left to play for, the remainder of 2022 should be "play the kids time". This is where the real problems start for SKC and why I, for the life of me, can't see how anyone in the organization is still championing for PV. Peter is already playing the kids. Duke, Hernandez, and Pierre are getting minutes. Rad is the only "kid" that hasn't gotten an opportunity. The others aren't getting minutes because they either aren't ready or aren't good enough. Watch them in SKCII if you don't want to take my word for it. The biggest problem with SKC is not the first team's performance this year, but the overall performance of the umbrella organization. The first team is in last place. Worse than an expansion team (guess that is by default, when you are in last place). SKCII is closer to the bottom of MLS Next Pro than to the top. More importantly, the SKCII roster doesn't have many players that look MLS ready. Now the biggest issue. The Academy. The best players coming out of the Academy are more often than not shunning SKCII and going to high profile college programs. Why? Other than those minor issues.....
