He was bitching about some of the calls the first two games, too. Especially at the Stadium. And now I'm beginning to think his team dives like Greg Louganis because that's their mindset: flop and whine and get daddy ref to hand them their milk and cookies.
You believe the score always tells the story?
Same here. I'm incredibly proud of our squad. But I'm having a tough time celebrating knowing how bad it likely is and what he'll have to deal with. Not only is he one of my favorite players, but he's one of my favorite personalities on the squad, along with Tayvon. I'm not surprised they hang off the pitch. They're a lot alike.
I'm here too. Any coach can get it wrong (and I'd argue Pascal got it wrong in Game 2), but it's not like Jonny is an unknown quantity, and there's plenty of time to work out the tactics. But yeah, we're going to be thin at midfield, at least in terms of experience, and they're definitely going to have the edge. It's going to be a tough match.
Not necessarily, any more than statistics always tell the story. But I know what I saw. They weren't the better team tonight. It was a good, hard-fought match, mostly played on level terms, and in the end, they got beat by some brilliant play they couldn't equal. They didn't get robbed, and it wasn't luck.
I'm with you here. I watched the whole game. Charlotte was not the better team and they did not deserve to win. They could have won, for example that Bronico miss, and then it could have gone to pens, etc. It could have gone either way. But I'm sure any neutral watching that was rooting for NYC, because we were more fun to watch--more creative, more technical, more progressive. And lethal on the counter.
I’m late to this because I was busy so I just finished watching the game and then rushed to this chat. Watching the wrap up they said the exact same thing. Scoring 1 goal over 3 games does not make you the better team.
That was epic - reminds me a little of Dempsey stink face.
