Pre-match: Fire at second worst team in oHIo, Cincinnati (Pig City) FC 4.18.26 6:30 pm Apple TV

In your defense the Bengals and Reds play right next to the river.

 

Barlow!

 

Damn Brady will want that back.

 

Not so fast my friend.

 

That SAVE will get Brady to the World Cup! WOW!

 

Woodwork AGAIN!!! Damn...

 

PENO!

 

Cuypers run over

 

Saletros slow to react/pressure/block
Few minutes later…

Wow was Brady left on an island on that counter attack…nice save.

Formation and movement has been intresting…we do appear to be playing 2 strikers, but they seem to rotate through one being in a false9 and 4-2-3-1

…….. Lod……Cuypers
MHS…….(false9)………Zinck
…….Davilla….Saletros
Gutman..TLB..Elliott..Dean
…………….Brady


11 over the back of Cuypers is justification for a PK

 

I don't care if his arm is by his side but I'd like to point out Gutman *could* have gone down on that almost trip in the box he recovered from.

2-1 Zinck!

 

Yes! Nicely buried pk. Nice Cuypers letting him take it.

 

Power shot PK, no BS cutesie chip or stutter…love it.

 

Cincinnati playing like Philadelphia…lead with assault and hope the ref doesn’t call it

 

I was about to be disappointed the Fire were going to the locker room with the score 1-1 but then all of a sudden Fire up 2-1 going in. It's a good watch so far.

 

No clean sheet, but despite not responding quickly when we turn it over, I’m really enjoying the off the ball movement and rewarding of the runs…the offense looks alive.

Something happened around 60min where Evander found a way to be wide open and make a mark on the game. Hope GGG and our CDMs adjust to it.

 

Good but not great first half. Glad to see them get the pk goal. Suspect Cuypers not around much longer.
CIN attacking our fullbacks. Multiple time when they had 2 on 1 vs Dean ( not good). Gutman not a bad defender but his speed is noticeably less than their RW, especially when he is in attack mode. Sorry to say but TLB was where? on opponents goal.

 

Nope. Hate it. Cuypers should be takiing these.

 

Is it just me or is anyone else as sad at the AT&T promo at the half with live footage of people surfing on their phones in large crowds ignoring each other?


Unless they are posting on the BS game day thread!
