Cincinnati had 74 goals scored against them going into tonights game (2.39 per game). How many did we score? ZERO
Cincinnati has a 2.39 ppg against overall. Against the league, except for the Fire, they are at 2.43 ppg. Against the Fire, they are at .50 (1 goal given up in two full games).
Cinci, very successful as a USL team, has not performed well in its first MLS season. Has MLS expanded beyond its capacity to fill its teams with quality players?
They took the same route as Minnesota did, signing a bunch of USL players. So they'll probably struggle again next year, until they move into their new stadium.
Red Stars win on a rainy night in Bridgeview to clinch a playoff berth, along with Sam Kerr breaking her own single-season scoring record. All other games tonight did not matter.
Pawno has to be the dumbest motherfvcker on the planet. Even a normal terrible coach would read the situation: must win game, team relocating, new owner; and realize he better try something different. instead, we get the same old bullshit - refusal to start the actual best 11, refusal to make tactical subs until way too late, and even the like for like subs usually reduce the team's quality. I'm just glad Mansueto was in attendance to see this embarrassment, and I hope Nimrod has been talking Pawno up to Joe, which would make this game a seething rebuke of both of these clowns. I should have taken a nap and skipped this shitshow, would have had the energy to play Civ until 2 instead of bailing out at 12:30. and I somehow let my brother talk me into going to the last game. fvck.
Somebody has been (fortunately) been enjoying some adult beverages, methinks. Of course, I agree with the post and the adult beverages!
I can probably make that happen. should probably also break out the scarves my brother brought back from his euro trip... shit, this is getting involved now
