MLS - February 22 - LA Galaxy (Away)

[BC19]

If we sign a striker by the end of this window we are set up fine. We should care more about November than February. If we make additions that arrive within the next two months we are in great shape for a deep run.

I agree but you can’t win in the playoffs if you don’t win enough points in the regular season to earn home games. Every year we miss out on home playoff games by a few points. It’s incredibly obvious where those points are dropped. No modern team less than a 4 seed has won MLS Cup.

Spoiler: Match Chat Log

Feb 22, 2026 at 6:45 PM - Shwafta: First game of the season hype!!!
Feb 22, 2026 at 6:53 PM - CCMore: I’ve been waiting all day for this!
Feb 22, 2026 at 6:53 PM - KevinJRogers: Fotmob has us in a 5-4-1 with Ojeda at striker.
Feb 22, 2026 at 6:54 PM - KevinJRogers: I think the interns are smoking dope again.
Feb 22, 2026 at 6:55 PM - gbservis: Good to see Magno, Parks and Shore all healthy enough to be on the bench
Feb 22, 2026 at 6:56 PM - gbservis: Oh sorry, I mean "The bench - Built by Home Depot"
Feb 22, 2026 at 6:59 PM - KevinJRogers: Kaaaa-CHING.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:01 PM - ZYanksRule: COME
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:01 PM - ZYanksRule: ON
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:01 PM - ZYanksRule: NEW YORK
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:03 PM - Kenny: The Aussie double pivot
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:04 PM - ezbeezy214: I’m very scared of the Pec transition if O’Toole shifts to midifled and Gustavo shifts wide.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:04 PM - ZYanksRule: Took 3 minutes into the broadcast before I saw a graphic on the broadcast that confused me. MLS productions, we are back!
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:05 PM - Kenny: LOVE the new kit
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:06 PM - gbservis: My money is on Krewin at CB and O'toole at CM, at least to start
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:07 PM - ZYanksRule: "MLS on Apple TV will return shortly" is crazy. Do a commercial! Do something! Why are we putting up a screen during the broadcast! This league is cheaping out so badly on its broadcasts.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:09 PM - KevinJRogers: This is a nice brace of commercials. Maybe they're figuring it out.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:09 PM - Shwafta: Bench built by home depot is the craziest thing lol
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:09 PM - Shwafta: Every time I hear it I facepalm
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:09 PM - Gene: Last night our heat crapped out and about 10 minutes ago we lost Con Ed for a bit. What an 'effin weekend!
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:10 PM - ZYanksRule: I'm lucky, I live in my town's main drag so I've only lost power once, and that was Hurricane Sandy. Hope you're all staying safe and warm tonight.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:11 PM - ALBNYfan: LET"S GO!
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:11 PM - Gotham Gator: We back, baby!
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:12 PM - ZYanksRule: These jerseys are fire on the broadcast.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:12 PM - Gene: Thanks! All's good! SEASON ON!!!!!
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:12 PM - ALBNYfan: oof
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:13 PM - Shwafta: Oh boy!
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:13 PM - KevinJRogers: Crap. And that's the one dude I was worried about. Klauss has a way of doing that kind of thing.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:13 PM - ZYanksRule: brutal, ball-watching defending.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:13 PM - Gotham Gator: Everyone could have done better.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:13 PM - Kenny: Embarrassing
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:14 PM - KevinJRogers: Can't just stand there like that.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:14 PM - Shwafta: We could have used someone like their #15
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:15 PM - ZYanksRule: One thing about staying in California after preseason is that it still feels like preseason. Better wake up fast.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:16 PM - Gotham Gator: LA have played a competitive match, and it shows.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:20 PM - ZYanksRule: Zivin and Twellman talking about NYCFC and the director cuts to a shot of Riqui Puig. Such a disjointed broadcast.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:20 PM - ezbeezy214: ojeda has to do more when alone at the corner of the box.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:21 PM - KevinJRogers: Love those pacey center backs who know how to tackle. Raul just needs to be consistent
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:22 PM - ezbeezy214: Really like the kit combo
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:23 PM - Kenny: Where is Nico?
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:23 PM - ZYanksRule: He's at the 9.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:24 PM - Kenny: Such a waste
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:25 PM - ZYanksRule: Why is there a USA 250 patch on their jerseys? Was that ever an announced thing?
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:26 PM - Alex Da Silva: Wow when nico is in the 10 position he is like super effective, who would have thought
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:29 PM - Shwafta: This is gonna be a long night
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:33 PM - Kenny: I think they might be having trouble seeing? Looking into the sun? Sometimes they look confused and pass to no one
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:40 PM - KevinJRogers: SHOOT!
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:41 PM - moogoo: oh no we suck again.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:42 PM - ZYanksRule: I don't hate these last 10 minutes. We haven't done anything with it but we're growing into this game. we've won games like this before.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:42 PM - moogoo: gray showing why he'll always be an MLS defender. our backline looks shaky. our attack is essentially non-existent. we are not brave in our passing and not hungry in our runs.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:43 PM - moogoo: right now the only way i see us scoring is off a counter press in the final 3rd or a gift from the LA backline
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:43 PM - KevinJRogers: A little more determination in the area would be nice.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:45 PM - Gotham Gator: They have so much less time in our final third and so much more success when they are there.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:46 PM - ZYanksRule: Freese can't see a thing out there. Someone get that man some sunglasses
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:47 PM - Kenny: Magno or Reid up front, Nico dropping, and Parks on the field could make this a different proposition
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:48 PM - KevinJRogers:

Magno or Reid up front, Nico dropping, and Parks on the field could make this a different proposition

I was surprised Keaton didn't get the start. Must be caution.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:49 PM - ZYanksRule: Surprised how involved Trewin has been in the build-up. Brings a different dynamic than Haak. Kind of more a Parks-style player than a Haak-style player.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:49 PM - Kenny: Haak is having Wolf for breakfast
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:50 PM - moogoo: ojeda is completely ineffective.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:51 PM - moogoo: ojeda is good when he's got space to run into. he has had none of that today and so he just dribbles and then passes it back or loses it. he's unable to beat his defender
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:52 PM - ZYanksRule: A lot of standing around when we get into the final third.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:52 PM - KevinJRogers: No focal point.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:53 PM - moogoo: gray sucks today.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:53 PM - ZYanksRule: Still firmly believe if we sign a striker we are one of the best teams in MLS. We have all the other pieces.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:54 PM - moogoo: i dunno about that. we need more than just a #9
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:54 PM - BxLio91: We need a body in the middle of the box to occupy the CBS
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:54 PM - moogoo: we also need effective wingers
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:54 PM - BxLio91: We're having the same issue as real madrid lol
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:55 PM - JayH: I am shocked we can’t score
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:55 PM - moogoo: difference is madrid have elite wingers and midfielders
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:56 PM - moogoo: has their keeper even done anything?
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:56 PM - twsj91: Wait how did galaxy make champions league if they were so bad last year?
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:56 PM - moogoo: twsj - they were 3rd in leagues cup.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:57 PM - BxLio91: For sure. Moreso the traditional 9 in the box part
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:57 PM - ZYanksRule: Where did the 6 minutes come from? Klauss wasn't down that long ...
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:57 PM - KevinJRogers: Matty saw THAT one.
Feb 22, 2026 at 7:57 PM - ZYanksRule: Sure did, that's a hell of a save.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:00 PM - moogoo: we are not playing a wingback overlap style today. not sure what our tactics are except maxi and nico floating around where ever they want.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:03 PM - moogoo: the only saving grace is that LA are equally as lacking in the attack.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:03 PM - KevinJRogers: Time for my lucky pizza and Pepsi. Game day tradition. Maybe that will turn us around.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:04 PM - ZYanksRule: After the first 90 seconds we really grew into that. It's still there for a moment of magic
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:04 PM - ezbeezy214: Very conservative with FBs. Wolf made good runs and Ojeda was pretty wasteful. I can see Magno in for one of them and Parks for an Australian.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:05 PM - RunningWise: Trying to navigate the chat on the phone. Can’t scroll back and see earlier comments. I agree, feels like we were shocked in the first 2 minutes and have been in control. Loving our counter attack. But just don’t see how we are going to finish
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:05 PM - CCMore: We need a 9 and Nico playing in Ojeda’s spot, cause wow he was a nothing burger out there
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:07 PM - gbservis: The Nico and Maxi float around tactics should officially be called: Opps No Striker! Given how often they both drop and we accidentally have no one leading the attack.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:09 PM - Kenny:

Very conservative with FBs. Wolf made good runs and Ojeda was pretty wasteful. I can see Magno in for one of them and Parks for an Australian.

Agree. Magno or Reid in, Ojeda out and shift Nico into midfield, and Parks in for an Aussie as you say
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:14 PM - gbservis: 0-1 is not a big hole and Pascal typically makes good mid game adjustments. It's good to feel like we will come out of the locker room stronger now as opposed to the Cushing days where it always felt like he was about to get pantsed by the other teams coach.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:19 PM - Gene: C'mon Tayvon, wake up!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:19 PM - ZYanksRule: Tayvon with two abysmal touches in a 3-second span.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:20 PM - ZYanksRule: Think getting Tayvon off the field might be more important than the attacking subs.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:21 PM - moogoo: he's been having a terrible game.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:22 PM - gbservis: Tayvon's high quality back up is out on loan
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:22 PM - ZYanksRule: Bring in Parks for Gray. Move Trewin to CB, Gustavo to FB
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:23 PM - KevinJRogers:

Bring in Parks for Gray. Move Trewin to CB, Gustavo to FB

This might be the play. This game is calling for Keaton.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:26 PM - moogoo: we are somehow forcing LAG into a low block. perhaps that's what they want so they can counter at speed, which is their specialty given their DP wingers.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:26 PM - ZYanksRule: I just love how under Pascal we're no longer scared of playing on the road.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:27 PM - Kenny: I already like Trewin more than O’Neill
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:28 PM - moogoo: see, ojeda busts his ass to get to that ball. he sees the slide coming. he knows he's going to lose the ball. why does he just slow up and then give up on it? Why isn't his reaction to immediately try to get the ball back?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:30 PM - BC19: I hate our front office for the obteenth year in a row
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:30 PM - ZYanksRule:

I hate our front office for the obteenth year in a row

I'll agree if we wait until the summer to find a striker. If we sign someone by April it's really no harm, no foul.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:30 PM - moogoo: at least they tried to get a striker this year?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:31 PM - moogoo: it didn't pan out but they tried?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:31 PM - moogoo: but we need more than a striker. we need an elite winger too.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:32 PM - moogoo: i'm ok with wolf on the wing. but we also need one with lots of pace like ojeda but more dangerous unlike ojeda
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:32 PM - Shwafta: we could use a nice DP...
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:32 PM - moogoo: we have one sitting on the bench.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:32 PM - moogoo: that's a PEN!!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:32 PM - moogoo: come on!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:33 PM - moogoo: it's the defender's responsibility to not trip the attacker.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:33 PM - Gene: VAR VAR VAR
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:34 PM - ZYanksRule: Nico isn't reaching for his Achilles, is he?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:34 PM - gbservis: They are going to say its a foul on Nico first
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:34 PM - moogoo: probably.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:34 PM - moogoo: OH! VAR!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:34 PM - BxLio91: Anywhere else it's a fucking flyer
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:34 PM - moogoo: thank you person in texas
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:34 PM - BxLio91: For
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:34 PM - ezbeezy214: think Fernandez kinda sticks his out foot that starts the trip. Not sure the rule there.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:35 PM - mgarbowski: lol that we need a pk to get a shot on goal
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:35 PM - Gene: That's a foul. Incidental contact my fat ass!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:35 PM - ezbeezy214: Left arm also pulls him down
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:35 PM - moogoo:

lol that we need a pk to get a shot on goal

at this moment, i'll take whatever gift we can get.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - ZYanksRule: He wraps his arm around NFM as he goes down. That's a penalty and he prevented Nico from getting a shot
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - BxLio91: Pk and 2nd yellow
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - Kenny: This would be soft imo.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - BxLio91: Anywhere else it's a fucking foul
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - Shwafta: that took three goddamn minutes
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - BxLio91: YESSSA
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - BxLio91: Fuxk yes
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - moogoo: PK and 2nd yel
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - gbservis: nice
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - Shwafta: we are so bailed out lmfao
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:36 PM - ZYanksRule: LET'S GO!!!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:37 PM - moogoo: come on shwafta
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:37 PM - moogoo: why you gotta say that
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:37 PM - moogoo: the ball is not in the net yet!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:37 PM - Fantazma: i think foul but not yellow worthy it was clumsy
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:37 PM - moogoo: i think the yellow was DOGSO
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:37 PM - Shwafta: it'll be okay
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:37 PM - BxLio91: YEAAAAAA
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - gbservis: haha, this is a massive gift our inept offensive doesn't deserve but I'll take it
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - moogoo: nico saved you shwafta
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - BxLio91: Let's fucking with
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - moogoo: i was about to come at you.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - BxLio91: Win
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - Shwafta: gotchu fam moogles
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - moogoo: <3
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - KevinJRogers:

nico saved you shwafta

I was just about to say that. LOL
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - ZYanksRule: THAT'S OUR MAN LET'S FUCKING GO!!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - ALBNYfan: I'll take it!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - Fantazma: ah i guess technically it was DOGSO but i thought if it was considered "hard foul" it would be yellow. this just felt clumsy careless but not hard foul
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - RunningWise: I guess we figured out a way to score
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - Shwafta: nico didn't save me - i saved me
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:38 PM - Shwafta: i realize the way i wrote that sounds very ai-written but it's not
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:39 PM - BxLio91:

ah i guess technically it was DOGSO but i thought if it was considered "hard foul" it would be yellow. this just felt clumsy careless but not hard foul

still prevents a GSO
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:39 PM - moogoo: I'm also glad nico is not injured.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:39 PM - moogoo: i was a little worried there
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:39 PM - BxLio91: Sub Tayvon out so we can keep the numerical superiority
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:39 PM - Fantazma: this team today just lacking definsively even with man up they still weak in the back
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:39 PM - gbservis: Kevin!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:39 PM - moogoo: come on KEVIN!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:39 PM - moogoo: that was a perfect opportunity!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:40 PM - ZYanksRule: didn't know Kevin had that in the toolchest
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:40 PM - moogoo:

didn't know Kevin had that in the toolchest

he's a former #9
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:40 PM - BC19: Kevin go to Turkey in the offseason?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:40 PM - ZYanksRule:

he's a former #9

Had no idea. Did he lose a bet though? What happened to his hair?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:40 PM - BxLio91: Pass the ball around make them run and test their fitness
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:41 PM - ezbeezy214: Don’t let Tayvons ball get overshadowed
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:41 PM - moogoo: He just buzzed it? It's not like he suddenly got thin hair.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:41 PM - Fantazma: true it was a good pass
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:42 PM - moogoo: man - i can't wait to watch our boys wearing this kit in OUR STADIUM. gives me chills just thinkin bout it.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:42 PM - Fantazma: will it last that long? i dont know how they plan to schedule the away kit
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:42 PM - KevinJRogers: Great kit.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:43 PM - ZYanksRule: yeah this kit is through 27-28
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:43 PM - Fantazma: will early 2027 count as a new release season ?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:43 PM - ezbeezy214:

Great kit.

And combo
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:43 PM - Fantazma: ah ok perfect
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:43 PM - moogoo: it's new this season so it will stick around until 28-29
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:43 PM - ZYanksRule: there won't be new kits for the bridge season
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:43 PM - moogoo: i mean there will be a new kit in 28-29
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:43 PM - moogoo: exactly.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:44 PM - ALBNYfan: Is Pascal going to make a sub?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:45 PM - moogoo: trewin has had a solid debut.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:45 PM - ZYanksRule: This game has 92nd-minute winner written all over it
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:46 PM - moogoo: there you go ALBNY
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:46 PM - gbservis: Keaton!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:47 PM - ZYanksRule: Amazing to see him back out there. So happy for him.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:47 PM - BxLio91: Parks in the box as a target man?
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:48 PM - moogoo: we gotta get it in the box first
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:48 PM - Kenny: At this point a draw would be disappointing. LAG look completely off it
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:48 PM - moogoo: agree. a draw feels like not enough.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:48 PM - gbservis:

Parks in the box as a target man?

I think he's float wherever player #3. Maxi, Nico and Parks are likely all smart enough to make it work
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:49 PM - moogoo: did the ref not blow the whistle? i heard a whistle.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:49 PM - moogoo: yet he played advantage
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:50 PM - ZYanksRule: Thiago and Gustavo both with excellent work there
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:50 PM - gbservis: Raul landed real hard
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:50 PM - Kenny: Ouchie
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:50 PM - BxLio91: Klauss is 28
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:50 PM - moogoo: and also brazilian.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:50 PM - moogoo: i would have guessed 30 something and german.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:51 PM - Kenny: The clue is in the first name
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:51 PM - moogoo: that could make him portuguese too
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:51 PM - BxLio91: Joao
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:52 PM - moogoo: bearhugging keaton in the box
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:52 PM - BxLio91: FUCK
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:52 PM - moogoo: keaton is doing great so far.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:52 PM - gbservis: Gray was just starting to find his passing
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:52 PM - KevinJRogers:

keaton is doing great so far.

He's our guy.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:52 PM - moogoo: I am hoping for a best XI performance from keaton this year.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:52 PM - ZYanksRule: It is incredible how willing Pascal is to play academy players.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:53 PM - gbservis: we just need him to play Reid
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:53 PM - moogoo: that is one of the reasons he was brought in wasn't it? developing young players
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:53 PM - moogoo: considering LAG are in a low block, i doubt we'll see reid.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:54 PM - Kenny: Starting to get late LET’S GET THIS
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:54 PM - gbservis: Pascal does not discriminate by age, wether your 17 or 40
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:55 PM - BxLio91: So stupid
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:55 PM - BxLio91: Don't bail them out with siy lazy fouls

Feb 22, 2026 at 8:56 PM - Gene: Has Apple gone dark for anyone else?

Feb 22, 2026 at 8:57 PM - BxLio91: Prob 3-5 mins let's wi it
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:57 PM - mgarbowski: Let’s get a shot on goal from open play!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:57 PM - gbservis: Can we get a winger to put a shot on frame
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:57 PM - BxLio91: How is it that Wolff always fucking shoots like he's kicking a puppy
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:57 PM - Alex Da Silva: Give me an attacking sub please (talles or Reid)
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:58 PM - moogoo: doubtful. i think jansen is happy to take a draw home for our first game.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:58 PM - gbservis: Opps no striker!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:58 PM - ZYanksRule: Fernandez-Mercau has made our attack so much better since he arrived last summer.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:58 PM - moogoo: lol keaton.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:59 PM - BxLio91: Silly card
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:59 PM - moogoo: keaton's out there thinkin he's johnny lawrence
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:59 PM - mgarbowski: There’s gonna be at least 7 minutes added
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:59 PM - ZYanksRule: good grief the guy jumped into the air. Flop city.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:59 PM - moogoo: magno coming on.
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:59 PM - ZYanksRule: Newly-minted #11 Talles Magno!
Feb 22, 2026 at 8:59 PM - KevinJRogers: Talles Magno. Intriguing.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:00 PM - moogoo: hear me out. can we bring gabby pereira back if we can get him for much less than what we sold him for?
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:00 PM - BxLio91: Lots of Brazilians
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:00 PM - moogoo: our DP getting an 88th minute sub. just the way we like it.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:00 PM - BxLio91: Shores!
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:00 PM - gbservis: Magno in the middle
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:01 PM - Kenny: Young Jonny as well
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:01 PM - moogoo: magno #9.. here we go.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:01 PM - moogoo: good to see shore is good to go.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:01 PM - ZYanksRule: nice to see the guys who had knocks in preseason get a little run, at the very least.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:01 PM - Gene: Has to be at 5+ minutes of extra time
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:01 PM - ezbeezy214: Put Reid on
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:02 PM - moogoo: ok we need to get control back. should not be defending deep with a man up
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:02 PM - gbservis: That's elder abuse
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:02 PM - moogoo: 39 yr old maxi giving up when he was knocked off the ball.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:03 PM - BxLio91: PK
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:03 PM - moogoo: looked clean to me.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:03 PM - moogoo: oh that trailing leg though cleaned out parks
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:04 PM - moogoo: omfgggg
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:04 PM - moogoo: keeper was beaten. damn so close.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:04 PM - ZYanksRule: would have been nice for this broadcast to show a replay of that Parks tackle
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:04 PM - Gene: Shit, I thought that was in!
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:04 PM - KevinJRogers: That was a shot.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:04 PM - ZYanksRule: No penalty is fair there now that they finally showed it
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:04 PM - moogoo: they just did
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:04 PM - ZYanksRule: and man NFM is a damn pleasure.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:05 PM - ezbeezy214: That’s a penalty
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:05 PM - moogoo: i would totally love it if magno dribbled their entire backline and scores the winner.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:06 PM - twsj91: And I’d love it if Sydney Sweeney recognized my existence.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:06 PM - moogoo: she knwos you're alive
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:06 PM - ezbeezy214: Def another penalty
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:06 PM - moogoo: just doesn't want anything to do with you.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:07 PM - twsj91: lol ouch
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:07 PM - moogoo: it's ok. you're probably better off
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:07 PM - Shwafta: always lovely not taking advantage of a red card!
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:07 PM - Shwafta: (trying for the reverse shwafta
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:08 PM - moogoo: damn maxi, play that chip to magno. that is in your toolbox, use it!
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:09 PM - ZYanksRule: Talles needs to be more ready for that ball to come in. He's just too slow to react.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:09 PM - moogoo: he was in position, it was just over his head.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:09 PM - BxLio91: Fuck.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:09 PM - moogoo: and there we go.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:10 PM - moogoo: a point to take home, so not the end of the world. but we definitely could have and should have taken 3 with a man up.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:10 PM - KevinJRogers: STRIKER.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:10 PM - ZYanksRule: Honestly I don't hate that tie. could have been more, could have been less, but probably a fair result. We need a striker.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:10 PM - Kenny: That was weird it was like they were content with the draw
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:10 PM - moogoo: would have been an easy 3 points if we were awake from the starting whistle.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:11 PM - ezbeezy214: We are going to need a lot of help in attack. Maxi needs to be a sub. Him and Ojeda do not deserve to play 90 mins from those performances.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:11 PM - ZYanksRule: This is a damn good team and I continue to maintain that we are contenders if we sign a striker.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:11 PM - ALBNYfan: 1 shot on goal up a man.. which was the pk
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:11 PM - moogoo: good debut by trewin. nico is showing last season wasn't a fluke. he is the real deal.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:11 PM - Alex Da Silva: Annoyed that we dominated possession and most chances but couldn't make any clear chances happen. There were a lot of times where the absence of the 9 was so clear
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:11 PM - RunningWise: Do penalty kicks count as a striker? Because that’s the only way I see us finishing
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:12 PM - moogoo: we can score off own goals too, you know.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:12 PM - Alex Da Silva: I can only hope we quickly move to a kai, parks, and nico midfield. That would be sick
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:13 PM - moogoo: if magno and ojeda explode as effective wingers, i think that's possible.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:13 PM - moogoo: especially if wolf can play the #9
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:13 PM - RunningWise: Parks looked fantastic
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:13 PM - moogoo: yea parks looked like he hadn't missed a beat. but i'd like to see how we do against a more organized team
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:13 PM - RunningWise: moogoo thanks for reminding me. Forgot about own goals
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:13 PM - KevinJRogers:

Parks looked fantastic

He's our guy. The missing piece.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:14 PM - moogoo: playing philly at home will be a tough one next week. good test for this squad
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:14 PM - Shwafta: i'm gonna attempt the chat export a bit later lol curious how it'll work
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:15 PM - gbservis: Agreed Parks looks great, he was agressive which is a good sign because he played very tentative for a few months last time he came back from this injury
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:16 PM - ezbeezy214: Feel like I need to see Magno Nico Wolf behind Reid next.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:17 PM - CCMore: We out played a team that is supposedly better than us on the road where we could have been rusty as hell playing the Citi football way. We played very well and very clean. We need a striker for the love of god
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:17 PM - ezbeezy214:

Feel like I need to see Magno Nico Wolf behind Reid next.

Not necessarily from the start but if we can control possession than that unit could be subbed on.
Feb 22, 2026 at 9:18 PM - ezbeezy214:

We out played a team that is supposedly better than us on the road where we could have been rusty as hell playing the Citi football way. We played very well and very clean. We need a striker for the love of god

How are they better than us?

 

[ZYanksRule]

I agree but you can’t win in the playoffs if you don’t win enough points in the regular season to earn home games. Every year we miss out on home playoff games by a few points. It’s incredibly obvious where those points are dropped. No modern team less than a 4 seed has won MLS Cup.

Yes, absolutely. But those seasons have happened when we waited until July. If we sign a guy in this window, he'll be here for something like 27 games instead of the 14 games Nico got last year. There will be a lot more time to accrue points and that issue will be minimized.

 

[Shwafta]

Would you look at that, it worked!
