Galaxy Postmatch

[ManhattanValley]

We looked really good. For the second week in a row.

Medina and Wallace look fucking great. As long as Villa stays fit it should be a fun season.

 

[LionNYC]

David Villa scores in the home opener, again. Did you expect anything less?

Also, Ofori will be a key to this team winning MLS Cup.

 

[Hivemind]

Actually Bronx cheer goes to our supporters. Once we decided we didn’t like Bingham the Puto chant was loud

 

[canchon]

All I know is the ball that Tinnerholm put in, RJ Allen and/or Ethan White would have put that ball into row Z.

Callens somehow may run the fastest 40 in the league.

 

[canchon]

The first half was one of the best halves I think the team has ever played. Something like 70% possession and outshot the Galaxy 9-1. I think the team didn’t sustain that and missed the killer instinct (didn’t put in the third, and then the Sweat error combined with a lapse made it 2-1 and there was some nervy moments at the end).

Ibheagha has no passing skills but is a physical specimen. The team definitely missed Chanot to move the ball up both sides. But man, Callens can move with the ball. Amazing to see him just take it himself past the halfway line.

 

[mgarbowski]

Chanot was in Delta Club. I think maybe I saw Lewis inside too.


ETA: credit to TabascoDiva for pointing him out to me.

#1: Elfath might be the worst referee in professional soccer, worldwide. I wouldn’t let him referee a peewee soccer match among 6 year olds.

#2: I’m convinced that nycfc has an under the table deal with big Pharma, particularly companies that produce heart medicine. There is no other explanation for why we play this “out of the back” style where we consistently play the ball towards our own goal, with every pass we make backwards exponentially increasing our chances of a catastrophic turnover.

Great win though!

Good thing he is not American because if he was, he would not be playing soccer. Dude is like Julio Jones out there with how big, fast, and quick he is.

When he’s not getting rolled.

ETA: Ulrich 2x in the same play for the goal, mind. And one where Johnson stood on his head earlier.

Well shit, I didn’t realize Sweat was defending there - it was the right side of the pitch, and that’s not his normal side, so IDK. I guess he’s only effective on the left side.

 

[Ulrich]

But Sweat was on that side. Him and Tinnerholm had switched, and it was Sweat who Lletget beat for the ball that he passed to Boateng, who then crossed it for Dos Santos

Yeah, I just saw Midas’ video clip, and I had no idea he was on the right side for that play, which doesn’t make sense at all and doesn’t take away from the fact he’s the most value-rated LB (that shouldn’t cover the right side).

Finally someone that agrees with me! He's absolute garbage, and we keep having him as a ref. He ref'd us vs columbus on closing day last year, too.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Sadly, no. He's just not good 1v1 anywhere. It's a problem. May have to teach him to just always funnel outside, old school style.

Eta: again, doesn't make what you're saying about value wrong. Both can be true,, and they are IMO .

Finally? Ismael has never been loved here. widely recognized as hot garbage.

Has Ibeagha ever lost an aerial challenge ?

Who said Medina was overrated?! My goodness he’s special

Ofori will be crucial this year

Awesome to see him get to 100

Nothing to do with the actual match, but thank you to the head of social media for memorializing such an important moment in club history. #revenge #neverforget

This is incredible. I hope it is perminent.

 

[Jock]

Thought that was fun. We weren't at the races for the whole match, but enough of it.

Solid from Ibeagha, didn't lose a header all day. Great from Tinnerholm too and my boy Ben Sweat once again with the killer run for the assist.

Happy days overall.
