    3-0, but it wasn't always easy.

    I was very impressed with Gressel, but I could tell there was a dropoff from Almiron. That said, the German deserves that ROTY award. Thought Kratz was good in the midfield as well, but faded when the ball transitioned into the attacking half.

    Positives were that we weren't playing at full strength and bossed much of the match. As expected, Philly came out much better in the second half and applied real pressure at the beginning and end of the second frame. Credit Larentowicz and LGP for figuring it all out (for the most part). We were super scary on the counter and were unlucky to not have two more goals.

    Garza back makes me happy and I'm glad Martinez and Asad got a break.

    Oh yeah...

    WE CLINCHED THE PLAYOFFS! That's amazing for a first-year club. Only two others have done that, and we've done it with three games in hand (in a very competitive conference).

    What a birthday gift for Uncle Arthur!
