It’s USL After Dark with a late night tete-a-tete with the big guns of the West in Orange County. Nice to see some familiar names coming on back to the starting lineup and bench, ain’t it? Let’s do this thing!
(Note: No way am I making it awake to the final whistle. Continue on in this thread for post match discussion or feel free to create your own!)
LET’S GO CITY!
WELL THAT WAS MORE DRAMATIC THAN IT NEEDED TO BE!
But whatever. They did it. Hell yeah.
On to the next AND IT’S THE SEMIS!
Welp. I was going to say that while we had some work to do, we were looking better and more lively, with some good runs and plays and some decent goalkeeping. But man, the wheels started to come off and we just switched off. Kind of lucky to get a point.
Now the long trudge home. I’m hot and tired and trying to keep the faith.
On to the next.
Like our pitch, we’re looking much more revived thanks to Kevon Lambert’s brace.
Let’s keep the momentum rolling!
On to the next!
The lightning kit debuts in a friendly match that we hope can break a bit of recent malaise.
Let’s have fun, and LET’S GO CITY!
Welp.
That was ugly. It’s super frustrating.
(And I know we’re all frustrated right now, but let’s keep it cool in here, okay? Thanks!)
On to the next.
I’m out of town tonight, but it’s a El Grassico night at the Fam!
LET’S GO CITY!!
Yknow, I’ll take it. Not the prettiest, but three points it is.
Everyone get home safe, Happy 4th!
On to the next!
Ray kind of saved our bacon there from a complete embarrassment, but I still feel like it shouldn’t have been that hard. The lack of cohesion on the pitch still continues to be a major concern, but, uh, we didn’t lose, yay!
On to the next.
It’s Pride Night, and hopefully we can keep on an upswing after a good visit to Phoenix. Only one change to the lineup, so managing fatigue will be a factor. Momentum is everything!
LET’S GO CITY!!
Ask and ye shall receieve!
We're facing off against a national squad on July 25th, a Saturday match, woot! I like it, I like it. Now I need to take a look at T&T, see how they are.
Welp, it’s a point. Guess we’ll take it over nothing, but the overall uninspired play leaves a lot to be desired. We need to figure it out and quickly.
On to the next.
*sigh*
Ouch. That was…not great. What was worse was everything felt WRONG, and that’s not a feeling I’m used to. Something needs to change and fast.
I gotta get home. Be safe out there.
On to the next.
My workplace is mostly made up of late-range Boomers and early GenXers. I’ve been asked what an Xennial is several times and the best I’ve come up with is:
“We combine the self-sufficiency and cynicism of GenX with the awareness and burnout of the Millenials.”
How do you explain our micro-generation to others?
Welp.
Missed most of the game, and it sounds like it wasn’t great. Especially with the defense. Not good.
Now where to go from here?
On to the next.
We bounce back from a rough first half and come out with a fistful of goals and the win. Probably should have been 8-0, but I don’t particularly dislike Omaha, so this is okay.
Except THAT guy. You know the one. Hope Jansen is okay.
On to the next!
The Prinx Tires USL Cup continues and we’re going to Nebraska! I do love seeing Josh Jones back on the start sheet.
How’s about we get back on the winning track, eh?
LET’S GO CITY!
Well, that was dire. Worse than losing, we just didn’t look ourselves. Sloppy in possession, not converting our chances, not going head to head with our opponent.
That is no bueno, and I hope we don’t slip further into this malaise.
On to the next.
Release the hounds! Or send them back to Pittsburgh crying. It’s Pups at the Pitch Night, give the good bois and girls a scratch and cheer our boys to the win!!
LET’S GO CITY!
Welp. *sad trombone noise*
I didn’t see the game (thanks CBS Sports), but it didn’t sound like we were ourselves. Rework, regroup.
On to the next.
