He missed because immediately before the shot he planted his left foot slightly too far right of his center of gravity and the wet pitch gave away. His left foot slipped sideways into his right foot as his right was making contact with the ball, and that plus the mis-contact with the ball (due to being off balance) as he was falling resulted in the ball shooting high over the bar.But Someone Please Tell Me How The Hell He Missed That Shot??
Not sure I totally agree on their talent level. Larin is one of my favorite strikers in the league. The gulf in class between the #1 pick and the #2 pick in the draft that year (Shelton) is absolutely massive.I've long thought that Orlando is one of the least talented but best coached teams in the league. I hate their players but respect their game.
We, of course, are exactly the opposite. Tons of talent but frequently seem to be missing the basics of team cohesion and communication.
Damn. Do you build your own bath salt dildo or buy it on Etsy?Maybe I'm just crazy, but I have a completely different view of this game.
Yes, it's unbelievable we conceded that goal. Shocking, awful, ridiculous, disappointing, all of it.
But I look at this game differently. All week, we were wondering what the Red Bulls game would do to this group. And for the most part, I think we got our answer. And we got a good answer. I thought this team was composed, played with confidence, didn't allow Orlando much of anything for large stretches. I thought Saunders was terrific (first goal was a deflection, second goal maybe he could have done better, but generally speaking he was very good). Without two of our most important players, we were really quite good for large stretches.
I mean, I was really worried what last week would do, how long it would take them to get over it. And they really settled into the game nicely.
On a micro level, this game was hugely disappointing. Losing those two points is awful. But on a macro level, this was a very encouraging performance that tells us our team is mentally strong, and capable of bouncing back. I think, in the long run, that's far more important than what happened in the final seconds today.
FWIW I fucking hate Brek Shea. And you should too. Thank God we passed up on that POS.
Too bad we won't learn from it. We never do.You could see the team was gutted. I give them that.
Which is why I don't credit them with much more.Too bad we won't learn from it. We never do.
Hold the lead. Hold the lead. Hold the lead.
Hold the score! Hold the score!
HODOR! HODOR!
He seriously needs to get on a different birth control. I can't stand looking at him be all hormonal on the pitch for one more second.I saw multiple instances where Khiry ran away from balls in the box.

No positive to take when the reason we lost 7-0 is the reason we drew, despite playing at least 3 goals better than the opposition.
I can't sit here and pretend it's okay. It's not. It's atrocious.

I don't think Hodor is the right was to phrase it. If we're saying hold the score then it should be Hocore or something.
Thanks. I appreciate someone recognizing the effort. This shit doesn't write itself. And what would you guys have to read if I didn't light into the new guy.Hey, go easy on the new guy!
That's a good line though.
Nothing against you, rook. You picked a bad day to introduce yourself.It is atrocious, and we should have seen the game out. But there's reason for optimism. This team could have folded up the tent after last week, gone into a deep swan dive. That hasn't happened. We're miles ahead of where we were at this time last year, and are clearly a better team that struggling to get results. It's going to come. We're unbeaten in six of our last seven games. I'll take that.
Let's have some perspective. Things could be a lot worse.
I'm pretty sure we can rest assured that that's not what was happening.I'm not sure how I feel about tacit approval of anti-semitism...
