Saturday 15 February 4 pm MST against SKC is up first. Wednesday 19 February 4 pm MST against Houston follows. Saturday 22 February 7 pm MST against Phoenix wraps it up. All games stream on the KSL app/website.
I tried to watch the RSL game on the KSL website and the link that says "Watch RSL on KSL" doesn't work.
This should work: https://ksltv.com/rsl/ It's halftime now. Ugly soccer from both teams but definitely uglier from RSL. RSL also had very little possession so overall pretty painful to watch.
The play where one of our midfielders passed the ball straight to Johnny Russell alone at our 18 - not trying to pass it to anyone else or clear it or on a mis-touch - ended up with a beauty of a save from Ochoa, so there's that.
I tell you one thing I am not ready for this early in the season: homer announcers. The SKC guys are killing me, parsing everything as if we were on Decision Day.
RSL not having numbers on the backs is hard, especially when the SKC guys don't seem to know who they are/aren't interested in talking about non-Wiz players
Chris Garcia is #13? Did he get his own uniforms or did they just dust off some of Olmes Garcia's old gear?
So is Glad an outside back now? No Johnson, wonder if he managed to injure himself again or if they are just taking it easy with him still. Nice moves by Beckerman to get the ball to the end line, almost had a sweet assist. I need to be patient and wait until after a few regular season games but these 90 minutes haven't got my overly excited about Freddy's RSL.
The team must be planning on signing him still, which I think would require them to loan a player out, likely to Monarchs. If not, it makes zero sense. On second thought, it probably just makes zero sense.
Here’s the thing, from the limited amount of time I watched the Houston Match, Rossi really looked like the most dangerous attacking player for RSL. Maybe we need to sign him.
To be fair, I’m the only poster who has said that...and I have no sources, obviously. I didn’t watch the game, but if he is getting lots of playing time then they are probably seriously considering it and his play will dictate the contract offer. Honestly, I hope it works out. We truly need an elite finisher and assist man. To be consistent though, I’ll officially remain skeptical.
Looks like the final preseason match is going to stream on phxrisingfc.com. Anybody know if it will also be on KSL app? https://www.phxrisingfc.com/news_article/show/1089325
PRFC equalizes 1-1 off a great set piece taken that nearly beat MacMath directly but hit post and was redirected into net
Matt Doyle was the only one of the MLSSoccer.com pundits to give us a chance to make the playoffs. Justen Glad at RB and Aaron Herrera on the wing. This makes zero sense.I'm selling my 2020 RSL stock. https://t.co/2ux2torm0u— Matthew Doyle (@MattDoyle76) February 23, 2020
Schmitt and Portillo also with starts. You'd think we'd go with the opening day XI at least once in a preseason match. I know Everton will be suspended, but unless Portillo and Schmitt have moved way the hell up the pecking order, this isn't that.
2-1 PRFC now. They've outplayed the visitors by a decent margin. RSL getting punked by a USL team - albeit a very good one. Should we be worried?
