PBP: San Jose Earthquakes - Austin FC (Saturday, 5/25) in-game thread [R]

LET'S PARK THE BUS!!

 

Did Jebo celebrate his goals in previous seasons? I'm wondering if his lack of celebration is something new. (In any case, I prefer it to some stupid prepared celebration.)

 

Sometimes those prepared celebrations have deeper meaning. Like Messi when he does his Marvel and DC super hero poses for his kids. Some guys do things to tribute family, lost ones, new births etc.

And Jebo usually runs around and celebrates like he never scored before.

Don't worry how people have fun, you should worry about the bitch shit coach we have and how much he sucks.

 

Hard to believe he could be passing LD.

 

From my seat at the halfway line, it looked like a foul

 

It would be harsh to call that handball, but it may well have been called against us.

 

Holy crap, Gruezo should never shoot. It’s terrible at it.

 

Definitely a foul, and really the worst of those three called against us in quick order.

 

Are we getting make up calls?

 

LMAO IT!!!!!!!!!

 

Terrible foul call there on Akapo, and the yellow after is just insult to injury.

We're looking OK, but we aren't scoring.

 

Except for the Jebo goal, composure around the goal is terrible tonight so far. That’s the story of the game. We are pressing - badly.

 

The ref didn't give yellow to a Broccoli player a few moments before on very similar taking the ball away moment, but Costa gets called for it. Nice.

And it was stupid of Costa to do that. Really, really stupid.

 

I've been impressed by how fast we track back to get into position when the ball is turned over...everybody is firing back to get goal side... hopefully we can sustain it. for me that's as impressive as the attacking opportunities...we'll pick up points if we can clean up our transition D.

 

See what I mean? Espinoza shanked that left footed shot so hard.

 

Good defense by Rodrigues there. Well played 1v1

 

Several nasty fouls by FC Broccoli, but no yellows for them. Their dude stepping on Hernán's should have been a yellow.

 

This team is snakebit

 

How did we not score?!?

We're terrible.

3 minutes stoppage is at least 3 minutes too short.
