San Jose Earthquakes - Austin FC (Wednesday, 4/22) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

Wow a classical anthem singer, really punching out the high notes with max vibrato.

 

Yeah, what bad start. I'm waiting for a replay of that Austin chance over the top, I thought he was offsides.

 

We definitely used up all our good luck and perfection vs LAFC

 

Tim Ford spinning gold into straw

 

Ach, Niko, gotta bury one of those! Very frustrating this half. Gotta score next half early, and I think the momentum will carry us.

 

Told you guys this was a trap game, we look like shit.

 

Niko should have a hat trick by now. 3 big chances 3 misses.

This is shaping up to be Seattle game 2.0. We give a bad goal and then they bunker and we don’t have the quality to break thru and/or we blow finishes. And Timo plays well…. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I hope the quakes can get back to biz in the 2H. Ford letting a lot of crap go and just being Ford. But the quakes need to start playing again, figure out why they are off by 10% on every pass shot and tackle. here we go!

 

I don't think Niko "should" have a hat-trick, but he should've scored ONE of them.

And, like Bruce said in the Postgame: This is MLS, not the EPL. There's no such thing as a "trap" game when everyone's so close to each other, especially early in the season.

 

This is not our day

 

Good reverse jinx!

 

Fn finally

 

Boy, who knew getting the right side involved instead of ONLY attacking down the left would pay dividends?

 

Bruh, the timewasting from Austin has been infuriating. Let's goooo already!

 

23 shots 8 on target so far.
Abismal.
Would be nice to have another #9 to bring in to the game and try something different.
Really hope Bruce signs another forward in the summer. We need it.

 

Wooo PK! Gah I can't watch these!
