The "Thoughts That Don't Require Their Own Thread" Thread XIV

Kid is doing well, but he wouldn't have seen the field with Turner here.

 

Anyone that had issues viewing the first game can get it at this link streaming.

That only works if you are in the Boston market. They use your IP address to see if you qualify for that market. Vermont is not in the Boston market, well sometimes, maybe, kinda, it depends; but for this app....no.

 

Apologies, just trying to help. For those that are savvy, you could also vpn.

 

I'd pay money to get my twitter ban reversed to see Goldenhand33's reaction to the first 3 games...

 

Two changes I like at Gillette:

The section signs tell you which aisle to use to get to your seats.
Proper chairs for the players and staff.

 

Cincy is 1-11-1 in last 13 games, getting shut out 9 times.

Since scoring 2 early vs Nashville in week one, they have yielded 10 unanswered goals.

Half of their 2020 wins (2 of 4) and almost half of their goals (5 of 12) came vs Red Bulls.

They are on bye this week before opening their new stadium May 16th vs MIA.

I honestly wasn't sure whether to put this here or the MLS other teams thread (but that seems to mostly be about results?) sorry if it's already somewhere I didn't see. SO BORING. There's a point in time TBH when I did want the Revs to completely rebrand but now I think it would be very lame if we just became New England United or New England FC. We're damn near the last team with original branding left now though.

 

Posting here most because Monty is no longer on twitter

I did not know that Monty has a son that looks **just like** him.#NERevs

Best video I've seen of the play. If the VAR official saw this replay it should have clearly been flagged for review. Also -- it looks like the ball hit P[batch of consonants]'s arm or shoulder in the play.

 

I can't stand the way Liz Pehota says "PhilaDOLPHia"

 

And I can't stand when her and other Amearicun announcers say Aendrew Fearal instead of Andrew Farrell. There is no a in the e (eh) sound and there is no e in the a (ah) sound! So annoying.

 

Is the rest of the Eastern Conference a bust?

 

Yes

Watching Bou got me thinking about La-33's extremely cool take on the Mancini original. This was a big hit in South American about ten years back. There are a many live versions to be found.

This belongs probably in another thread but, got a little depressed seeing St. Louis' stadium going up. sigh.....

 

Roughly 20 years later, Winston Griffiths is still the player that's come closest to winning the Revs an MLS Cup.

 

In my travels last week, I came across the following:

The bartender wasn't aware that there was a team by almost the same name. BTW, I'm crazy about scottish ales so I did end up having both!

 

Who wore it better?

 

Its encouraging to know that this team has not played to their full potential, and had the results they've had... but I sincerely hope we make a COUPLE additions in this window.

I'm not convinced Traustason can find the level that we need.
We were pinning high hopes on Caicedo, and Kaptoum, neither of whom have been a factor at all. Mafla hasn't got off the trainer's table either.

We still need players in those positions. I'm still not confident Adam Buksa will win us an MLS Cup. I think either him or Bou needs to be re-structured under a DP deal. It's hard to say which one at this point, although I'd assume Buksa would be easier to get done. I like the interplay of the two, but I'd much rather spend some money on competition for Kessler, Bell and Farrell. If Turner doesn't have to play like a demigod every single game, maybe we'll get to keep him longer.
