Post-match: Give 'Em Hell (Is Real), Lads - Crew @ Cincinnati - '25 MLS Playoffs: Round 1, Game 3 - 11/8 6:00 PM

Ah. I'd still end the first two games with PKs, and game three with extra time and pks.

 

Since when is it legal to undercut players going for the ball in the air?

 

That’s a clear yellow, how is that ignored?

 

Rossi targeted for physical play a primary strategy for FCC tonight.

Ref has got to show some backbone throughout the game.

 

Rossi fouled twice need fcc to get yellow , Amundsen foul was tactical don’t see how second foul on Rossi was not a yellow

 

The replay I saw was a knee to the back of Rossi's leg - no intent to play the ball at all

 

Crew seem hesitant to attack and seem more interested in passing it backwards

 

Screw neutral site, we did that and it was terrible. Aggregate was the best, and if we had aggregate right now we would have the entire advantage. Especially with an away goals rule. As a matter of fact, we would have won the series if it was home/away.

 

Feel like they are playing more like game 1 than game 2. More timid, trying not to make mistakes.

 

Cinci is playing with a much higher press

 

Their reporters love to get stoned.

 

They told me to stop yelling and swearing 13 mins in

 

Taha has taken too long to make a decision a couple times now. He's gotta think quicker.

 

Columbus needs to make some serious adjustments for the press.

 

Rossi playing a bit like higuain did. Wonder if hes taking it gently

 

Stupid yellow to Habs there...

 

.....what?!

 

Odd substitution. Unless they think the over the top will work and RR will run.

 

Dont think tahas hurt. No trainers are working on him

 

Crew seem better after the sub

 

Good shout.

Also ... 40 minutes in and it feels like Game 1 .. where is the Crew goal going to come from?

 

Yeah, he's being targeted. He's given the ball away a few times, gotten couple late tackles trying to get it back. I think this was a move to keep him from getting a red or causing a problem because he couldn't risk getting one.
