The center ref went into a mind loop - Yamane “didn't make contact with the ball.” That fact was irrelevant ti what VAR was saying - that contact...
I assume they are will give some info about the reason for the call/no call. Like they do in other pro sports.
Money + ability to evaluate talent accurately. One without the other is useless.
Im sure Kuntz scouted the guy. That’s his #1 job. Tied is his duty to get us the right manager, at some point.
How do you know whether he meant it or not? When you say it is your fault the team wasn’t ready that is taking responsibilty, imo. When you say...
I thought about that when I was writing the post. But then I realized Bruce’s behavior was irrelevant since my point was about mortals.
Lol! Budimir looks like he was trying to do a last-second fake-out, over-complicating the task to a point of failure. The second fail was much...
Thee article quotes the VAN coach lamenting their mistakes, including positioning mistakes on that play. He then says something to the effect of...
My biggest problem with the ref wasnt that he made a mistake - all refs do. My problem is how little energy he put into making sure he had the...
What if you are a boxer?
There is a good reason refs should be trained to not blow whistles in this situation - besides the fact timing in soccer is approximate, what is...
A lot of coaches avoid subbing on a corner for this very reason.
Sorry, I was unclear. I understand teams have moved away from putting players at the posts. I meant good teams don’t leave big open areas on the...
Personally I don't think McCarthy is being given enough credit for the amazing shot-stopping display he is putting on this season. Yes, Bond would...
Why are you worried about this - Vanney already fixed this by telling the team they just need to “concentrate more” on set-pieces! Why bother...
So - unofficially - we remain undefeated!
I assume he was talking about the last game where Vanney put Paintsil on the left. That didn't work so this game he moved him to inside right,...
In fairness few teams do. But yes, we could, and should, be better at it, especially given our offensive talent level.
Tied for 2nd in league in PPG. Philly at 2.0, LAG and RBNY at 1.88. VAN and, surprisingly, HOU tied for 4th at 1.86. And, lets see, LmAoFC in...
True - we once again gave up over 2 expected goals. McCarthy saved us. If the not-as-quick Bond were still in goal this might have been a 3-3 draw.
On the road against the number one team in our conference and we put a whupping on them. How about them apples?!...
First f’ing place in the WC!!!!
Also because they were pushing up and only had three back instead of five back.
WHAT A SAVE!!
3 goals and a couple injuries.
