USOC - April 29 - Red Bulls (Away)

[Revfugee]

Solid game from the ozzies in the middle.

You mean the Didgeri-duo?

Yes they were quite effective.

Is three set piece off a corner goals another historic first for us?

Pretty sure it’s an historic first for any team I’ve ever supported. And I’m old. That’s some Sunday league sh*t.

Historically, that’s the kind of thing that is done TO teams I support not BY teams I support.

What's statistically more unlikely? 3 identical corner goals scored in one game or Ojeda going to his left?

I've been a fan and rooting for him and seeing a lot of progress. For some reason last night his move to the baseline and only ever baseline seemed nearly pathological. I know I'm late to this party mgarbowski. It just seemed even more glaring to me last night.

ETA: I should add, he was still a threat. He earned corners and got a couple of good crosses across goal. In fact I think he accomplished either a corner or a decent cross on nearly every drive. So he's not getting shut down, remarkably. At some point defenses will figure that out. Right?

I've been down on him for a while so it's no surprise I was among the first to notice this negative tendency. It's confirmation bias that in this case turned out to be right.

next year they are eligible i think. Assuming the slots go back to normal. if not then i think they have to finish top half of usl league 1.

Yes, but I doubt they are going to be hiring Gio Savarese to coach, so it won't be the same.

This is the part I noticed. He was able to pull it off and be dangerous nearly every time, even with the defenders knowing that's what he would try to do.

Just watched the highlights, but are the 3 corner goals on the red bulls for being terrible defensively, especially since they were so similar, or is it a sign we might actually get some goal contributions moving forward with our CBs?

If it works, then I don't mind him doing it. But I hope the coaches will get him to work on cutting inside and using his left foot because that will just make his end line runs all that more dangerous if that is his preferred path. He has potential to be a more complete winger if he works on it.
