Pretty encouraging statswise which is way more indicative of long term success. We lost to a team in their stadium opener. It happens. Just really sucks that it is Orlando and Kreis.
I agree. I think people are overreacting (then again, what else are we here for, right?) But let's remember soccer is not fair. Greece won a Euro in which it probably didn't dominate or deserve to win a single match. Ditto Portugal in the last one. The examples pile up. We completely bossed a team playing at home. We completely bossed a pretty bad team, OK. But still. And unlike, say many of recent Man City losses and ties, we had the ball and created a fair number of clear chances. It didn't go in. But I think the signs are encouraging. Maybe people expected thrilling. The display wasn't thrilling. But it was good. We had very very few scares in our own 18. That's a positive change. Callens kept us with speedy guys, unlike Brillant, Hernandez, or any previous CB we've had not named Chanot. The team was faster (not fast, but not as slow as usual) and more physical. Mata may be overrated. RJ is RJ. Relax.
