I did get a flu test twice. I don't think it was a COVID test specifically, but all symptoms sorta point more towards bronchitis imo.

 

Revs put out the B-Team. Make them pay.

 

I used to get bronchitis every year, prior to COVID. I have not had it since 2019.
It sucks.
Get well.

 

I think this is the same XI we started against Detroit

 

So, a decent team out there, with Kouame, Acosta, D'Avilla, Bamba, MHS and Cuypers.

We should win this match tonight.

 

Revs mailing it in.

 

This makes me even more optimistic, which makes me more scared. We have missed plenty of two foot putts in our recent history so I am hoping we hit the gas hard and don’t let up.

 

From the tweeters:
The Revs with 6 players in their starting XI who have significant MLS Next Pro minutes this season. Zero first team players available from their bench

 

I always liked Omsberg.

 

Let’s do it again.

 

This is the biggest reason why what MLS did last year was sofa king stupid. Don’t want to fatigue your lineup by taking the USOC seriously? Throw the first team shirt on a bunch of Next Pro kids and give them some experience against a presumably more experienced opponent. Way better than pulling the MLS clubs out entirely and sending the Next Pro squad in their stead.

 

Keep the momentum going Fire! Let’s see if the backup midfielders can create something.

 

I don’t like this pitch. Against a lower division team it would be one thing but for MLS squad you’d think they could find a better quality field.

 

Nice ball by Acosta to spring Bamba

 

Acosta with a good pass and nothing from Bamba. Maybe Bamba should sit and recharge a bit.

 

God this is going to be tough to watch.

Pete (squints to try to see in the dark)

 

These announcers are making me miss the Apple TV+ option to switch to the Spanish language feed.

 

Find you some Fisherman's Friends to open those bronchial passages up!

 

Glasgow looks much better against this tier of opponent.

 

This death by a million passes needs to include more forward passes, or we are going to give up a stupid counter strike

 

Bamba and Cuypers not (yet) "on the same page"...
