    Rad has some spry skills but is too frequently overplaying, out of position and hacking.

    Shokalook and Fire in general pressing wonderfully. DCFC can't handle the pressure.

    Glad to see Zinck and Elliott subbed out. Give them some rest.
     
  23. This will be an exercise in managing the game. It's yet another step to competence.

    Jeez...in real time without VAR that looked awfully suspicious.

    On the second one that was a STRONG and incredibly clean challenge. Mbo's first looked review worthy but maybe for once I'm glad there's no VAR.

    Anyone remember a few years ago when Guti was fouled at Bridgeview in the Open Cup clearly in the box then the ball went out off the other player right in front of the Harlem end and not only was it not called as a penalty the referee also called it a goal kick incorrectly. HORRIBLE.
