I love and also hate this.Also, Michael Bradley was so bad I thought he was playing for the national team. You love to see it.
I agree 100% on the "Toronto is our real rival". You can see it in our players, you can see it in some of their players, and you can especially see it in the fans. It's always nice to win against Toronto!So, obviously we have to keep things in perspective in the sense that Toronto was just awful until very late in the game. But that said, how amazing does it feel to see something resembling last year's quality of play?
I'm probably wrong, but it felt like between the last match and tonight the team took Deila aside and said "look, we're built to play fluidly, so let us play like we used to", and Deila went with it. I still don't see any particular Deila stamp on things other than his decision that Medina is a midfielder now.
So, it may have been that, or it may have been the team catching a spark by having squeaked undeservedly into the knockouts and feeling like they had to rise to the occasion. Or maybe it was just having a night game instead of a morning game. But whatever it was, we looked like ourselves again.
James Sands is immense. Maxi is still a magician. Air Bear hit the bar twice. Twice! I thought GMS actually did a decent job fighting for the ball late in the game.
Also, to me this feels especially good because while NJRB is our league-manufactured rival Toronto is our real rival. Get stuffed, Canucks.
GET INNNNNNNN.

Didn’t see a lot of him but just looking at his ball control and decision making you can tell he’s got it. Something tells me we get him for this year and next then he’s gone. Only thing keeping him here is likely lack of national team caps and not being able to get a visa.Acevedo looks good!
