I was at the game and also had trouble hearing him. I like to think the crowd was noisier but probably the PA volume was lower.Also, for anybody at the game.. was the announcer volume lower today or is my hearing going? Cause I could barely hear him announce the goals over the cheering and usually that's not an issue.
I didn’t but MLS has an article mentioning it. I thought the two KC players were going to come to blows.Anyone else notice Taty and Callens getting chippy with each other after the free kick that Callens took near the end of the match? It continued after the final whistle.
Announced crowd was just over 20k. It didn't seem that full to me and 20k seemed about right.Mata convincingly won the battle with Russell, one of the most dangerous players in the league. I have to say that he was terrific last night. Hopefully last night was a turning point rather than a one off.
GMS has that flair that gets you out of your seat when he has the ball. He really changed the game when he came in. And even though he should have taken that shot which more than likely would have been his first goal, I did think it was a sign of great character that he tried to feed a teammate for a tap-in.
Sands was again quietly the captain. There wasn’t a moment of the game where I thought that the game was at risk.
I am glad that Heber broke through with the goal because I was thinking that we were back at the point where Mitri unnecessarily neutralizes Heber when they play together (which unfortunately is still the case).
It was a beautiful night and while I haven’t checked the attendance, the crowd felt fuller and more energized than usual.
And Victor Cruz in the house was a nice treat!
Could it have been Cruuuuuuuuuuuz?!?Announced crowd was just over 20k. It didn't seem that full to me and 20k seemed about right.
Cruz in the house but when he was on the big screen there were boos. Not sure if it was directed at him or the refs but he was using his phone instead of watching the game. So maybe at him? He didn't look too happy about the boos so at the very least, he probably thought they were for him.
The team is doing a much better job this season of inviting celebs and influencers to the games (albeit I often have no idea who they are). Every picture or post to large groups of followers (like the one Victor Cruz posted on instagram) gets some more eyes on and pub for the team.Could it have been Cruuuuuuuuuuuz?!?
Mitri doesn't suck. I think he's definitely an above average MLS player and light years ahead of Medina. Liked some of what I saw from him but still ran himself into trouble against multiple defenders at times. I know it's a short sample but I think there's a good chance GMS is better than him and he's not on DP status.
If Maxi is out, you can’t start a game with Ring underneath two Strikers. I get the idea of having him press when you’re winning 2-0 but either Parks should be there in the 3-5-2 or a winger in a 3-4-3
It was even more confusing on TV because after the foul they cut to the moment after the second yellow was shown so it looked like a straight red. And the replay confirmed it should be a straight red. Then they went through the whole VAR process to ultimately show... a straight red. So, having not seen the initial second yellow I had no idea what was going on and the only thing I could come up with was mistaken identity. Now I understand.The red card sequence with Espinoza was very confusing to me live.
Mata absolutely crushed it against Johnny Russell, one of the elite wingers in MLS. Stuffed him 1v1 many times and Dome had the team well trained to neutralize his threat when he was able to skip by. Probably added as much to our attack as Russell did to SKCs. Mitri and Mata are not quite clicking yet, but by September I am expecting a ton more dangerous play down that side.
The crowd look fine...,..i think it was 20k. , and felt like it. Surprised to see a few SKC and kansas city wizards jersey
If we're going to beat the best teams in the playoffs we need to finish those chances we had late. I kind of forgot about them because we were up 3-1 anyway and it was kind of no matter, but LAFC and Atlanta bury those.
