PBP: Aiming for “mid” - the 2026 consolidated match thread - all competitions

After his last twit, I am almost waiting with baited breath to read what pithy, deep-thought drivel Erkut is going to put out after the game.

 

The real question is why is Erkut opening his yap? It's not really his job.

 

Between my distaste for him and Levien it’s just as well that the team is a dumpster fire. I’m not sure how well I’d stomach the two of them raising a trophy after all this.

 

Your starting roster for the game everyone forgot about.

 

I remember when CSN had a pre game show. It was nothing great but it was certainly better than what we have now.

 

Red Bulls invited a lot of empty seats. I know it’s a midweek game but it looks like a cup game.

 

So... I remembered my AppleTV sub would get me MLS matches. I've decided to see if watching this year's iteration of the red and black is more like witnessing a botched death penalty or seeing war crimes happen in real time.

The pregame "odds of winning" chart doesn't give me much hope

Attendance at Harrison looks dismal.

 

At least give us some replays.

 

That looked onside to me. DC should be up 1-0. Good play though.

 

******** it all.

 

Good goal by NYRB, DC down 0-1. Damn.

 

We're screwed. Only 4 goals on the year and already down 0-2 in the 20th minute

 

Old news

 

0 points.

 

I wish I had continued to forget this game was being played tonight

 

We need a good AI letter right about now.

 

It counts.

 

Wow. This is much worse than my Lowered Expectations.

 

1-2 DC Scores! Nice teamwork up the field!

 

Love to see Hopkins try to chip the keeper. He doesn't quite have the skill, but nice try.

 

Maybe he'll have better luck against the #2.

 

Didn't think that was a PK. Hopkins seemed to have already lost control and the ball was going out. But nice run

 

Peltola is a beast. Hopkins started playing much better about halfway through. Herrera tries some interesting things and sometimes they work. And sometimes (like the long shot while the keeper was out) they don't.

 

Pirani not even on the bench. Peglow should be. Herrera MOTM so far. Peltola MLS Best XI.

 

I no longer support selling the team. Fold the team.
