MNUFC Postmatch

Attendance was reported at 21.5k. It may have been the beer, but to me, it looked like the most butts in seats so far this season. It actually looked relatively full for the first time. Am I crazy (at least, with respect to this)?

Are you sure you were wearing the right prescription glasses? Asking for a friend.

Sadly, yes. It was good, even very good, for a weeknight game, and the supporters section filled out nicely, but we have definitely done better.
 
Should have been in the pregame thread, but since we played MNUFC...

This is the main event of the evening. Sanctioned by Major League Soccer and it's commissioner Don Barber and President and deputy commissioner Mark Abbot. Our threes referees tonight are Peter Manikowski, Brian Dunn, and Mark Kadlecik. And when our action begins, the referee in charge of the match is Armando Villarreal. This match is sponsored by Etihad Airways, flying reimagined. Blackberry KeyOne. And MasterCard, there are some things money can't buy for everything else there's MasterCard.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND NOWWWWWWWWWWWW!

This is the moment MLS fans around the world have been waiting for. LIVE from the sold out Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York...IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S TIME!

TWO HALFS FOR THREE POINTS FOR A WIN, ONE POINT FOR A TIE, AND ZERO POINTS IN A LOSS IN THE 2017 MLS REGULAR SEASON.

Introducing first, FIGHTING out of the white corner. This man recently played in the second division of the US Soccer pyramid, went undrafted in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, and has 9 goals on the campaign, standing at 6 feet 2 inches and weighing in at 187 pounds. Fighting out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, ladies and gentleman, introducing the challenger CHRISTIAN "SUPERMAN" RAMIERZ.

And now introducing the champion, FIGHTING out of the blue corner. This man has 51 goals in MLS play, won the Champions League, the World Cup, and the all time leading goal scorer in Spanish national team history. Stands at 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing in 152 pounds. Fighting out of New York City. Presenting the REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED MLS LANDON DONOVAN MVP, THE CAPTAIN, EL GUAJE, DAVID VILLLLLLLLLLAAAAAA!

Props. That is a shitload of effort for a tenuous at best joke.

How 'bout another Moss bros story?
 
They wore matching brown crocodile shoes to the game.

Actual footage of their drive to the match?

look what happened when we rushed Mata back in after an injury.

ETA: Im not saying Pirlo is the best choice for every game or even that he fits the speed role we've been trying to play. Im just saying the people who never want to see him play another game for us are ridiculous.
Except Mata was actually injured
