McBean missed a pen as well which would have made it 2-0 at the time.

Ben Spencer makes it 1-0 with a nice chip after some good ball movement

 

River Plate ties it, my feed went down for a bit a didn't see the goal

 

River Plate goes up 2-1 off a FK where I'm not really sure what Steffen was doing and a player tapped it in easy at the far post.

 

Dammit! I expected better of Steffen.

 

Steffen left his goal to contest the header on the touchline. It was headed back across the goal and headed in after the short guy Gooch was outjumped.

 

I really expected better from this team our back line is so slow of thought and feet. Allen and Gall forgot what a one touch is. Amick is struggling not really a LB. Acosta is the only one who looks like a Pro out there. Gooch is a #6? I don't think so. EPB can't start on U20 second team but he should be starting for KC? Miazga and Redding CB. Acosta and Allen as Outside backs. Degado as DM. That's just a start because we can't play out of the back. River Plate is crushing us.

 

Steffen whiffed pretty badly on the cross

I wouldn't necessarily read into this being our starting definite XI, but I agree about the current defenders out there, Amick definitely isn't a fullback.

Spencer has looked good imo.

Hopeful that Gooch isn't this cycle's Joya where Tab plays him in a position he's rarely ever played.

 

I know its not our starting lineup but should be playing much better than that. Spencer was decent.

 

I'm talking about your reference to EPB, just because he isn't starting this game doesn't mean he's not going to be a starter moving forward.

 

True, do want to see him over 90.

 

Interesting that the Galaxy seemingly value this competition more than USL PRO.

 

EPB in for Vasquez (he got a bit hurt) to start 2nd Half.

 

I imagine there are more scouts there with bigger pocket books.

 

Rubio Rubin ties it up off a long through pass, defender deflected the shot a bit.

 

A couple subs: Moreno in for Gall, Requejo in for Amick

 

Acosta earns a PK, and Spencer scores it.

3-2 U.S. in 80th min.

 

Has Allen played well? I've only seen 20 mins of this 2nd half. Poor decision there.
