PBP: 2021 Match Day #6: Union v. New York Red Bulls, May 15, 2021 p/d/p

They should win. But I think it ends up a boring draw.

 

I LOATHE the superimposed advertisements in the stands. They were worse last year, but they still annoy the Shit outta me...A win of the cows would make me feel a lot better.

EDIT: Yes, the teams/MLS need revenue, I get it. Don't @ me.

 

Union Winning early off a nice Burke goal. Can they build on this lead? Can they keep Red Bulls at bay?

 

Gorgeous night at the stadium. I've been sitting higher up and more towards the middle of the pitch which is a good view but too much like a broadcast view. Can't wait to get back closer to the field where I can hear the players and the coach. (and yell at Jeremy the liner)

 

Yes, they can.

Doop.

 

The second half was not pretty, but they limited the Red Bulls chances on goal to very few, and none were great. A win is a win, especially after the busy stretch they've had.

Ernst tanner is good at his job (captain obvious here). Just think, when Gazdag arrives Fontana will move to the subs bench. El Brujo is back from his vacation..errr suspension next week which moves Flach to the bench as well. Ilsinho will be back at some point as a sub option as well. Then one of Burke, Kacper, and Santos will be on the bench. Add in the home growns who haven't looked out of place when they've gotten time.

This team/Organization has come so far from where they were when Bedoya arrived. (Pre-Earnie Stewart). Oh and they have this depth with the 3rd lowest payroll in the league, before the Gazdag acquisition is factored in.

 

This team is somehow sitting at 5th, tied on points for 1st. 6th in ppg.

So...yeah. Beat the crap out of DC next Sunday and all of a sudden they are right back in the upper echelon.
