Post-match: CORPORATE RIVALRY ALERT!! MLS MATCHDAY 16 CREW VS @ BRADLEY FC WEDNESDAY JUNE 29TH 7:30 PM (TFC)

WILL KYLE CREW BE ABLE TO SCREAM LOUD ENOUGH AT COACHBOT TO GET FVKT IN PERSON?

 

Oh god we play again Wednesday?

 

Are you sitting near enough to the bench?


Get a road win for Kyle, Crew.

 

No, in the away section.

Opposite sideline, same end, upper level corner.

I’m persistent though.

 

Are there any other professional sports that have teams lose all their best players and still are expected to perform? I mean NFL teams might lose a starter or two and then they fill in with slightly less qualified backups.
Less qualified is a compliment to who we are throwing out there. I’m thinking 20 senior players isn’t enough to be competitive.

 

He could change things instead of doing the same stuff over and over. That’s the frustrating part.

No one would complain if we lost to a very good team on the road at altitude. Porter was too scared to even try to win though. At 0-0, it’s not like there wasn’t a path forward for that.

We’re almost last in the conference and he’s not even trying to change things up.

At this point, it’s almost impossible to not play with 3 CMs. Going back to a 4-2-3-1 would be a waste of talent allocation. Especially since we have no wingers. Why keep playings wingers when they all suck and benching CMs who are solid to very good?

 

Let's see...

We had our starting keeper.

We had our starting back 4, including our captain. In this back four we have Santos who has been one of the best LB's in the league this season, and Moreira who was our best addition last season.

In midfield we have Nagbe. We also had Morris, who's absence last year was blamed for our horrible season.

Up top we had Miguelol Berry, who Porter annoited as starter at the beginning of the season when he stated we had a championship quality roster. Berry was flanked by Luis Diaz and Igbekeme who was hailed as a key offseason acquisition.

Let's stop with the idea that this was a mash unit, last night or throughout the season. We had one player making his debut. Every other player was a guaranteed starter or a player expected to make key contributions to a "championship caliber roster."

 

Is it too early to wonder out loud whether Nagbe has lost a step?

His lack of productivity is becoming harder and harder to ignore.

 

CANT WE AT LEAST AGREE TO USE ALL CAPS FOR ONE THREAD? #TEAMWORK

 

CAN YOU SPEAK UP, I'M WEARING A TOWEL

 

I’ll be in Philadelphia this week for a conference and was seeing if anyone knew of any soccer bars that would play the game Wednesday. Any suggestions?

 

Have a roast pork sammich at DiNic's in the Reading Terminal Market.

 

I can't believe we are already playing again Wednesday. What have we done to deserve this?

 

We're part of FIFA.

Is it strange that I kinda don't mind Artur and Lucas being out if it means Morris gets to start?

 

Queue up some Yacht Rock and set sail on the Aidan Morris Hype Dreamboat.

 

There's a place downtown, a block or two away from the convention center. Big soccer bar, lots of memorabilia, lots of TV's always jammed for games.

Can't recall the name but someone here will remember.

 

Wish there had been something like that when I was a teen/young adult there. All we had was an International Press stand that had two week old soccer mags from Europe--and the odd Soccer America.

 

Well, the downside is the Phillies play at the same time, so it might be tricky.

They have a Fado, so that's a start.

They have a pub called Cavanaugh's Headhouse near the intersection of South and Second, which is where I saw England v T&T from in 2006 when it was called Dark Horse. If it hasn't changed much, they have an interesting set up. There's one small-ish room and then a bunch of other rooms up the stairs. Their website advertises Champions League, so it may be worth a call.

(South Street is sort of what the Short North used be with all the wacky eccentricity and maybe a little bit more. You might in for an adventure if you decide to head that way.)

 

And, sadly. there was a shooting there that killed three about three weeks ago.
