The trouble with Velasquez is he breaks a defender or two and most times he has no one to pass too. The last two games our attacking has become better. Our finishing is horrible. Everyones going in pretty heavy on individual players, it's the team that loses the game. Not sheltons freeze up or Velasquez terrible shot. Performance is getting better and I do believe like the articles say, results will come. Guys still have to click and once they do I can't see us not being one of the best in the league. Talent is there, now they just have to figure out how to use it.

Univision has a free stream. That's the way I've been watching all the Friday night matches.

EDIT: Check that. If IIRC you have to be a TWC subscriber for the free stream.

¡Gracias!

Think I edited my post before your reply mg. I think you have to be a TWC subscriber, but feel free to double check.

I'm sure it depends on service providers

 

[Golazo]

Ain't nothin fo free!

 

[Ahab_Flanders]

Well it depends on your provider also. It's not available on Directv unless you subscribe to their most expensive package or get an entire slate of Spanish language stations for about $15 monthly. So I'll be doing something else Friday night.

You can stream it on the Univision website

Edit: Missed posts above. I've streamed it through Univision before and I don't even have cable. May have had to use my parents DirectTV log in, but either way will work for you mgarbowski

I just registered, and while nothing live (excuse me, en vivo) is available now, it looks like I should have access,. I don't read Spanish except by making use of what I remember of French and Latin, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a requirement anywhere to sign in using a cable provider. Thanks Gene and Ahab_Flanders

I have Verizon and just did a search on their website and I would have to pay extra for it. I am hoping I can watch online. For those who don't speak Spanish MLS has a guide they will have the SAP for English as soon as the game starts here is a breakdown on each of the providers and how to do it.

That's great if you don't have to be a TWC subscriber to get the stream. The quality is pretty damn good and quite frankly it doesn't bother me at all if I can't get the matches in English.

Problem now is trying to remember what stream I signed up for that I had to go through Time Warner to get. Was it the free MLS Live they gave during Week 1? Or was it the midget porn site I'm always checking out?

Looking for that third DP?

You definitely have to sign in with your cable provider credentials for either ESPN or Fox Sports streaming.

 

[Gene]

Now that you mention it, I do believe it was for the ESPN streams.

Should probably move this stuff to a TV thread. Pretty much totally derailed any game talk

You're right, but I also think we're done. Sorry.

Wasn't you, we all got off on a tangent.

How about in extra time when he literally ran the ball into a defender when there was a TON of space but he found the one fucking guy not in a blue jersey within 20 yards and handed him the ball. I almost lost my fucking mind.

I ripped my hair out when he did that. He puts his head down, breaks a defender and then looks up realizing he's in no-mans land and has no one to pass to. I've noticed him do this in every game. Maybe if makes himself more aware of what is happening around him he can be more effective, but right now he's just killing the team when he's on the pitch.

 

[ManhattanValley]

What about hat free kick at the end of the game.... Saunders should've went up and the ball has to go in the box

I'm STILL angry about this. I'm not sure I'll ever get over it. Are these guys getting paid by the pass or something? Just horrible. I shudder to think where our next goal comes from.

 

[jguab2]

We are definitely getting the ball forward more however not having a player that can take a decent threatening shot is just absurd and every player from midfield and up showed that last night. Also that last play at aggregate time... What the heck was that?! You would think they'd cross it to the box to maybe catch a lucky rebound, a deflection or a header in (not by Mullins cause obviously he lacks that skill) instead they played it short... lost the ball and that was it, game over. This without a doubt falls on Kreis for either not rehearsing last minute free kick plays in practice or for not giving them a play to at least try to go with. Overall Calle had his best game of the season, the team improved their ability to get the ball up into the opposing box but the majority of the 21 shots last night lacked quality.

For the next home game that Fox Sports is going to show, the Third Rail should do some "ESPN" chants or "Fox Sucks"
