Going to this one with two friends! Super excited! Philly games are always a blast. I also have to assume as it's with our second biggest rival, the attendance (and supporter section) is gonna be very good, even though it's a wednesday night.
...That's my hope, anyway.

Plus all those people that are trading in the RBA games that have to use those credits for this one.
Hypothetically, if we were to hypothetically win this game, I would hypothetically be happy. It would be perfect for the 2021 MLS Cup champions to beat the hypothetical 2021 MLS Cup champions.
Hypothetically, of course.

Looks like the rain might come only after the game which would be ideal! I hope it'll stay away
If we win tonight we have beaten the hypothetical back to back Leagues Cup Third Place winners.
Can we put this game film in the “You Gotta See This Thread: Utter Crap Edition”
(Sadly the team is getting close to being admitted to that thread as well)

Ok, I want to hear from you homers how we are "a very good team" now.
We are mediocre and will be lucky to make the playoffs.

Will never get rid of my tickets but I don’t think I’ll be back to watch until Lee and Cushing are gone. Just no point. The team is devoid of exciting play or players, and the roster is poorly built with not a lot of flexibility to reconstruct the roster.
Either I’ve matured or I’ve just gotten used to the malaise of the play. I’m no longer mad or upset when we are scored upon and not excited or cheerful when we score. I just know the inevitable of the yearly result of this club and I know we’re stuck and nothing is being done about it.
I mean, this match is the exemplar of soccer being variance: the sport.
We generated 2.96 xG and scored 1 goal while Philly put up 1.77 xG and scored 5. That’s just the universe being absurd. There’s nothing substantive to take away from this match.

Went to my first match since early in the summer and it was probably the worst home loss I've seen since the playoff match in 2016 vs Toronto. The defense is atrocious and has mental lapses regularly. The offense has no creativity or quickness. It stagnates in the final third most of the time and just recycles back to Freese. The midfield has taken a giant step back. WTF happened to Sands? I feel like he came back from Rangers worse than when he left. This club has too many "projects" and not enough proven players.
That was, frankly, one of the worst games I've ever been to live. Even with the momentum we had, we just felt nothing was going in.
The highlight of the match was we sat in the bleachers (me, my german friend and my italian friend) and we met this couple in front of us visiting from Germany, so we had a great time.
- the second goal was an absolutely horrific flub from Martins.
- the third goal was an unusual flub from Freese
- the fourth goal, i was telling my friends how we cannot score from corners, we suck at them. And then said "Watch them score off this corner" so yeah.
- fifth goal was just... sigh.
We had momentum in the second half, but the balls were just never going into good places. We had some bad luck with crossbar as well, and that awful miss in the first half where the ball just went all the way across. I never truly felt like the ball was going to go in. There was also their goalkeeper who was having a really good game.
Defense was utter shit the ENTIRE match. Sands, Keaton had an absolute stinker. (looking at that pass stands did to... the VAR booth???). Mijatovic doesn't want to sprint for his life. Sigh.

I used to always stay to the end no matter what - 7-0, Toronto 5-0, and now I find myself leaving early (was close to leaving at halftime but left when Philly scored the fourth).
It’s gotten so bad that I just don’t care because nothing is going to change until Cushing is gone (and probably Lee too).
I hope they miss the playoffs (won’t be hard with Miami, RB away, Cincy coming up) so the FO is forced to make a change.
