AZ United General News and Information Thread

So...we need to get the job done on the 28th.

The game on the 28th will also be streamed live and the ticket information is supposed to come out sometime today.

 

Season ticket holders get in to the OKC Cup game for free:

USOC for free is great news.

 

Impressed with your season so far. Given how late this team was cobbled together I expected you to be mired deep down in the table, not averaging nearly two points per game.

Congratulations

 

The product on the field is definitely exciting. Our boys are undefeated when playing 11 v 11 for the whole game. That said, I think this season will be just the springboard many of our players were looking for in becoming regular contributors in MLS next season and beyond. Such is the case in minor league sports, but I rather fear that this off-season will feature plenty of roster rebuilding.

Ken, I hear your doing the Channel Cox7 commentary on Wednesday. Congrats!

 

Its nice that Cox 7 will also be replaying it multiple times over the next few days too.

 

As long as they don't slaughter us, that would be painful.

 

AZ United take the first half lead but fall to the Galaxy, 2-1.

@kenntomasch , I actually had no idea you used to do Chicago Fire games--apparently it's like riding a bike because you did a very good job, as did Allen. I come from a broadcasting family so I know how difficult it can be. Well done.

 

Watched the game tonight. I thought AZ made a very nice showing against the Galaxy and accounted themselves well. Best of luck to you during the balance of the season (well, except against the Sac Republic ).

 

Kenn calling the game on YouTube. Good job sir. Is it just me or did the supporters group shrink? What is with the clock? 1:15:14 ? IS that supposed to say 75?

 

Because people are at home watching the stream

 

Just looks a lot smaller than normal.

 

It is. I was agreeing and saying they were home watching the stream instead.

 

Ah...ok.

 

I feel bad for bailing after seeing game pics. Had my ticket, scarf and a change of clothes at work but I was exhausted and opted for the YouTube stream at home.

 

Curious as to what you guys think are the reason why the wheels seem to have fallen off the bus on the playing side? Too many games, not enough use of the squad, coach not experienced enough, wrong tactics.....what?

 

All very good points Ken. It's been an interesting journey, so far, this season. I agree that they have players who are more than good enough for this level and preseason would most certainly have helped.

My concern is that, as a team, they are not coming together. Team cohesion is not getting better, the performances don't seem to be getting better. If any or all of these were the case, then there would be light at the end the tunnel. The concern for me is that our coaching staff do not appear to be having a positive influence on these things.
