Has this team just checked out since clinching the playoff berth? Really not feeling confident in the way this team looks going into the playoffs.

That first half was reminiscent of 2025 FMFC. Absolutely not acceptable, especially from this squad.

First off, we had plenty of chances to put the ball in the net so we deserved to lose last night.

BUT.

What was that officiating? Some of the calls weren’t just bad, it felt like the referee was deliberately calling the game wrong. There were two blatant calls on the flock end that should’ve been corners that were called as goal kicks.

Also, what was the 5 minute post-goal water break that Spokane took? Absolutely ridiculous.

Hopefully Torres is ok and the guys play more inspired next time.

WE ALL DREAM OF A TEAMMMMMM

Shoutout to the Matts for putting this squad together. Shoutout to the guys for being relentless all season. Finish the job 🏆

How many Carmichael chants in a row are we going for?

I don’t care if our core players were out, the squad wasn’t getting the fundamentals right. Really disappointed in the play tonight.

My goodness this pitch is awful…and it seems like our passes look slow and are inaccurate.

I’ll probably get downvoted to hell (I get it) but I wanted to stop in and say that Madison had a huge slump last season and as USL1 has grown, the league, talent, and playing style has changed rapidly.

Last season was so disappointing for us after a deep playoff run the year before, but in the offseason we hired a sporting director and it’s changed so much.

Have some faith in next season. You all deserve a great squad and will get it.

Squad of cornballs.

Edit: for clarification, I dislike how they seem to not like to play the game. Flopping incessantly, time wasting in the first half, pulling on guys who beat you, and taking their time after celebrating the goal…lame as hell.

Edit 2: Idc if John Murphy Jr. played for us, the bs he pulled after we scored was uncalled for and I’m glad he’s not around on this team. Don’t care if he’s a “nice guy with a nice family” or whatever.

Every team has a “guy.” Not the most productive player or the most skilled player, but the guy you watch and find it hard not to root for. In seasons past, the guy I loved to watch was Devin Boyce, he was like watching a squirrel cross a road that always made it to the other side (I mean this in the nicest way possible).

This year with so many new faces, I’ve really enjoyed watching Claudel N’goubou. He’s an interesting guy to watch with his size and strength, dribbling through a sea of guys who he towers over. Also I have loved watching Kerfala Toure’s play. I think both have tremendous potential.

Just curious some others enjoy watching.

Really great to see Breese back in form tonight. I think we can still do the FMFC halftime chant. I still believe!

Referee seemed allergic to giving Charlotte yellows but it felt like we dominated the game and should’ve put a few more goals in the net.

Frustrating draw.

Thanks to some productive discussions with the flock and the club, we will be attempting what is believed to be the first ever stadium wide chant at today’s match!

The flock end, grand stand, and covered end will be attempting the “FMFC” chant.

Step one: hands up and chant “FM” followed by two claps.

Step two: hands back up and chant “FC” followed by two claps.

This repeats and speeds up until there is a full applause.

Ok, so my last post was a callout to the grandstand to get more involved in cheers, because this is the best Mingo team we’ve probably ever seen and as fans, we’ve lost some juice.

Someone in the comments of that post had a good idea that could probably work: starting the game and the second half with the “FM…FC…” chant. It’s simple, has a visual cue, and in theory, should be easy to pull off.

Want to strike up a discussion here on how to make this happen on Saturday. Can we send capos into the grand stand to get people’s hands up? Can we get the club on board (PA announcer & video board instructions?)

Let’s make Breese the worst place for our opponents to play and let’s show up for this squad.

To the season ticket holders in the grandstand, this is a loving call out. After seeing Boise and Portland fans, you need to stand up and learn the cheers. Get loud.

This team is the best team we’ve had and Madison has lost the title of most hostile environment to play in.

Let’s get better.

Shoutout to Portland’s goalkeeper because that could’ve easily been 4-1 or 5-1 for us.

It’s unbelievable how much depth our roster has, the quality of play, the consistency, the intentionality…wow. And in every aspect.

Not sure what else to say other than playing Portland, we looked like what championship teams playing FMFC looked like last year. Hopefully we can keep this going, but it seems like a culture shift is happening.

We are just bigger, faster, stronger, more talented, and playing in a way that doesn’t rely on flopping. Super impressed with how this season and how this roster is shaping up.
