Pre-match: Fire v. The Worst Team in Ohio (Columbus) 3.7.26 6:30 Apple TV

He was frustrated and starting to play grumpy too

OMG!!! How did Mbokazi not finish that?!

We must have had 8 of those tonight!!!

 

Not who you want taking that final shot but damn the kid is really really growing on me.

 

How the hell does Shokslook try to go on with a necklace?

 

OMG...we almost had it!!!!

 

Could have been a great finish

 

Seems like Saletros plays mostly like a hybrid #6/#8 and does provide the ball progression to the forward line the Fire need (think Franco). Was hoping for more offense from Lod than I have seen. Maybe it will improve.
Borso looking better than expected. Looks like Fire has some wingbacks who can get upfield.Something to build on.
Cannot help but wonder how the match would have ended if Fire had a decent backup ST.
3 CBs looked good tonight.
If not for injuries, I would have felt pretty good overall about tonight

 

I'll take the point, but boy did we have our chances to win it. Surprised by Borso. He looked good.

Happy with 2 straight shutouts on the defensive end.

 

Could you imagine the reaction a TLB game winner at deaths door would have generated?.?.?.?

really would have like to have seen that…

 

I don't know if I'm happy with a draw away or it's a draw that feels like it could have been a win. I think the Columbus fans are absolutely ecstatic with the draw that's for sure.

 

Yep. Honestly Columbus still looks in preseason form IMHO.

 

You wish that would have been coached out of him somewhere along the way.

 

This isn't the old Cowntown Chips.

 

Actually, he was considered a winger/ forward - until this season

 

Bittersweet…we had more than enough chances to win it.
Our defense is much improved from last year.

Both Pineda and Davilla played well, the CBs were all good, and as mentioned Borso rose to the challenge

 

If he scored that South Africa might have broken off from the rest of the continent.

 

Borso MOTM.

 

At least a part of Soweto.

 

I have no idea who this TLB is. I assume you mean Mbokazi but..how is TLB the initials? I clearly missed something hehe.

 

I went back to look for that necklace. I am pretty sure he broke the chain trying to take it off.

Pete (didn't catch it the first time)

 

Pete (had to look it up)

 

Thanks!

 

Some people might mention something about construction trucks or whatever, but I say it’s the initialization of “The Little Bastard” for his ferociousness.

 

Can we get a three letter nickname for Zinckernagel? For when I am trying to post from my phone!!

Pete (has an equally long last name so he's one to talk!)

 

WOW! Major correction…….”does NOT provide” the ball progression…….l.
