Post-match: Full-Blown Sithstorm - Crew v LA Galaxy - Match 9 - 4/22/26 7:30 PM

Rossi started that & finished it. Hockey assist on his goal. Noce first touch in the box.

KCbus · Apr 22, 2026

That actually wasn't even a great ball from Arfsten -- he's lucky it didn't get broken up. But Rossi reacted to it BEAUTIFULLY.

TrueCrew · Apr 22, 2026

Yikes, almost another for Rossi there.

Meddlin' Truckstop Owner · Apr 22, 2026

Picard is playing with a lot of sauciness tonight.

Richmond was a coming out game, apparently.

KCbus · Apr 22, 2026

That was a decent tag from Chambost.

TrueCrew · Apr 22, 2026

Could we actually take a corner for once?

TrueCrew · Apr 22, 2026

Hererra should have done better there.

KCbus · Apr 22, 2026

Well, it wouldn't be a Crew game if they didn't make it interesting.

KCbus · Apr 22, 2026

Holy crap.

KCbus · Apr 22, 2026

I'm not happy that MLS After Dark is showing itself right about now.

TrueCrew · Apr 22, 2026

Almost 2-2 there.

TrueCrew · Apr 22, 2026

Yikes.

DAFCrew · Apr 22, 2026

Best game of the season AND a Grouchy point? Yeah, I'll take that.

TrueCrew · Apr 22, 2026

We held on.

1st home win.

Meddlin' Truckstop Owner · Apr 22, 2026

Where's @Hamburgler03?

That last 15 minutes had a "we may never lose again" feel.

/s

A really needed home win.

Kyle Crew · Apr 22, 2026

1) a deserved win

2) but also LA was crap for the vast majority of the game. Much like NE last week, when they decided to really push, they created numerous chances.

Defiantly better, but I still need to see us beat a good team that plays well before I get too excited .

Paul171121 · Apr 22, 2026

Somehow above the playoff line and above cincy on GD

cleazer · Apr 22, 2026

Believe it or not, but we're actually up into the playoff positions with tonight's win.
(Sure, it's only 9th, but still, enjoy it while we're in the top 9.)

Paul171121 · Apr 23, 2026

Nearly 100 pass attempts for taha tonight. 90% accuracy. For comparison, in Nagbe's last game he had 53 with 98% accuracy. Incredibly high usage

His best game by far in the black and gold

KCbus · Apr 23, 2026

I'll certainly take the win, but I'm no more convinced of anything than I was before. We had the game well in hand at home and nearly managed to blow it. This team, playing with this lineup and this formation hasn't figured out how to tighten up defensively when it needs to.

But it's a step in the right direction, I guess.

We should be able to get a LOT better imo if we can find a creative 10 and a decent Mls striker in the summer window. We look terrible when teams push forward at us late because we have nobody who can break a team down and punish them for not dropping numbers. Maybe atl wants to end the latte lath experiment and we can pair him and a guy with a similar playing style to Martin ojeda (or Martin ojeda himself) to our squad.

Eh.

I understand that sometimes the best defense is a better offense, but in our case, I think we actually need to improve the defense.

Fun little piece of info I saw on Instagram yesterday - The LA Galaxy came to town yesterday and trained at Ohio Wesleyan. LAG assistant coach, Nick Theslof, began his coaching career at OWU and was part of the staff for the 1998 National Championship.

I have one of his Crew jerseys (old Obetz sale (before the garage sale there)).

That was a much better game last night, though I was a little worried at the end. We met a guy in Contado's from New York who is trying to see all of the MLS teams in their home stadia--he's up to 22 with FC Food Lion coming this weekend. Was excited to see Reus again (saw him play for Gladbach back in the day), but he didn't do much.
