LEAGUES CUP 2024: Los Angeles FC - San Jose Earthquakes (Tuesday, 8/13) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

Meh, almost every team has some kind of home field advantage, whether it's altitude or humidity or crap turf field or whatever. We don't have anything, so why not try a little smaller field?

 

He might look slow at times because he has a very long stride, but he's not. The problem is more that he's not strong in challenges.

 

In the past I would say game over....but the Ian-improved-Quakes are a more confident bunch than the Luchi Quakes

 

With 1 minute left in the half I'm thinking, OK, just don't concede before half. Welp... It was a dive though or certainly he was playing for the PK.

 

Yarborough's mistake on that PK looks worse in replay. Idiot. The ball was gone.

Damned soft PK call.

Also, the English announcers thought it was a good call, but then they blow LaFck on a regular basis.

We'd better get some good calls in the second half. That was crap. F-er!!

 

think i'm going to the kitchen and grab some JD on the rocks to get me through 2nd half.

 

The difference in these teams is the movement in the final 3rd in and around the box. LAFC is cutting and moving into space, give and goes, Quakes are more or less static. Need to try to go wide more like we did on our goal.

 

Well the equalizer was nice. Jebo dropping back and finding the overload on the right side, Benji overlapping and sending the cross onto the right spot, Pelle occupying the space left by Jebo and forcing the bad clearance, Hernán making the run and finishing first time.

 

I'm eating blueberries and fake ice cream. Trying to resist the whiskey.

 

Piss poor throwin! No one showing for him.

 

Ian is arguing about a foul on the sidelines.

 

BS!!
No foul on Marie? Then just a moment later it's a foul on us?!
The ref is a cheating POS!

 

Looks like VAR hates us too!

 

That tackle on Gruezo should have been a PK!

 

Yeah - we’re not gonna get any of THOSE tonight…

 

We need to put in a couple of hard tackles. They are pushing us around and we're not doing anything about it. Neither is the ref.

 

well yarbrough sucks

 

F@#$!!!!

What was that?!

Terrible by Yarbs, no pressure on the shooter who has been shooting from distance all night.

CRAP!!

 

Have I ever said Yarborough sucks? Anyway - I’m out - it’s late here. Carry on.

 

At least I saw my friend Rachel in the 3252 She'd look way sexier in Quakes blue

 

and things were going pretty well......crap

 

Vega, Yarbrough, Kramer 3 worst ever

 

If this was hockey we’d be pulling our goalie about now. Howler by Yarbrough.
