PBP: 2024 MLS Season PBP Thread Week 9 April 20 & 21 {R}

Just like MLS Cup 2010 Dallas outscored Colorado...and lost 2-1

 

Metro basically incapable of paying a boring game this year.

ridiculous goal. some Zlatan-esque shit

 

I think I remember seeing at least one instance of a player appearing in a resumed game after getting a red card the previous game, and serving the suspension in the next regularly scheduled game. Not sure who or when it was, though.

 

Live audio is currently forbidden by FIFA or the IFAB. I forget.

 

A game is happening.

 

Game's barely started, and it's already turning into a track meet.

 

Absolutely terrible counter by Charlotte - the player needed to pass it earlier but instead dribbled between two defenders and played a weak pass that went a bit backwards. They should have been 1-0.

 

I just mistook Uronen for Duncan McGuire.

Orlando Charlotte wastes another counter.

 

Nice save by St Clair to deny the purple team a goal

 

A goal happened.

 

Purple team 0-1 Minnesota

 

A beautiful one, in fact.

 

A lot of the time it looks like Charlotte is trying to play an outdated sweeper/stopper system in the back. It's not working very well.

 

Minnesota Vikings
Orlando
Charlotte 0-2 Minnesota

 

Not looking good for Charlotte.

 

Kneel before Lod

 

Charlotte saw Seattle's performance yesterday and thought, yeah, let's play with that intensity!

Speaking of the Seattle area, that was Federal Way's own Hasani Dotson with the goal.

Charlotte 0-3 Minnesota

 

And another

 

And now Minnesota hits the post

 

Nearly a 4th. What a disaster for Charlotte.

The 3rd goal showed why you do not make a sub on a defensive corner. We have seen 2 goals scored this weekend when a sub was made just before a defensive corner (the other being a forced sub on the Aaron Long injury). Do not do it if you do not have to.
