Cinderella didn’t make it to the ball. Little outmatched tonight, but a good run.

Technically though if we win tomorrow (knock on wood) they redraw for hosting and we could end up hosting la galaxy or Sacramento republic. So it would be like our World Cup. Lol

Get it early and leave UO a W for Wednesday is all I ask haha.

Yeah, that’s why I’m thinking of following the team around and watching it in the city they are playing in and maybe getting lucky to get a ticket for a lower profile game in KC. I have years to plan haha

Meh, it’s more about not having to get a hotel and slumming it then camping. Unless it’s still camping If you roast marshmallows in a Walmart parking lot?

Im hoping to have my teardrop camper by then and take a month off to follow the team around…but I also want to go to a game which getting into a us match could be next to impossible, I’m gonna have my work cut out for me haha

Yeah and with all the inconsistencies and injuries at forward we might need to experiment up top. I still think Sargent is our best bet up front. Even though Norwich city was really bad this year he was a consistent performer up front and his hold up play/defensive help were really good. Ferreira I think is Greg’s guy right now, his runs are good but he’s left a lot to be desired with his finishing. Haji wright had some glimpses Wednesday, good movement off the ball, good combo play and should have finished one from play, but the PK was slotted well. twellman said something I’d be thinking about for a while and something we’d discussed on here before. What about trying weah at the 9 where he’s played for his club team? That dude is dangerous when he attacks goal, he has speed, great runs behind the line and can get a rocket of a shot off with little space. This makes sense especially when you see that Aaronson played so well at the mid last game and pulisic looks better on the wing. And when Reyna comes back that dude is too good to not have on the field, you could potentially have a lineup like this: turner dest-Zimmerman-Richard’s-robinson Adams-mckennie reyna/munsah Aaronson-pulisic weah you’d have to choose between Reyna, munsah and Aaronson but there’s too much talent in that midfield to waste 2 on the bench IMO. The other wild card is LDLT whose been a defensive and on the ball master since he’s come into the team. I know Reyna and McKennie will be limited with minutes coming back from injury, but these many creative young players is not a bad thing at all. The huge number of injuries and the exile of brooks on the back line is my biggest worry at the moment.

USA looking good against a pretty good Morocco side who will also be at the World Cup. Had good run of play and dominance in midfield. Center backs and striker are going to be the big questions going forward IMO.

$20 and looks like they might be putting transportation together

If you think about it it’s like the storm chasers or salt dogs going on the road and beating the Rockies and royals. Super impressive!!!

WE ARE THE OWLS WE ARE THE OWLS!!! Bring on SKC or those damn Dynamos.

BRITO WITH A GEM!!! 2-1 owls.

Saw that his yesterday and said “Put it towards the soccer specific stadium” :)

When is the next draw?

We’ve easily been the better team tonight. Could easily be up 5-0 if not for a goal called back and a bad miss in front of Goal along with one off the post. Onward to the sweet 16!!!

Thanks man, you did the leg work for me. I get it was something like that but hadn’t had the time to get to it. And I agree, I remember when the tourney started MLS teams sent their B teams to play and now it’s being taken more seriously. This cup is a good is a good way to help the image of MLS as a league on a global platform and hopefully help sell played abroad.

That’s what I thought as well.

Huh, I must have read something wrong then. Unless they meant first MLS side to win it during the club World Cup era which starting in 2002 I believe? Either way, the point I was trying to make is that it was a good showing for the league and gives the league some much needed attention as it has positively evolved the last decade.

That’s what it was, I didn’t get a chance to watch the game but I saw the highlights.

Yeah, it was nuts. 3 goals in under 5 minutes I think?

Seattle Sounders win 5-2 on aggregate to be the first MLS team in history to win the CONCACAF champions league. Sold out 70,000+ in Seattle last night. Pretty cool game to watch.

I think an argument could be made that rebounding is our biggest need. I’m not gonna disagree with the point guard take but both this guy and griesel seem to be pretty good scorers from inside the arc which should help open up outside shooting better…in theory.

Hosting baby!!!

Guys, our first home league match is this Saturday at 6 if you haven’t been out the atmosphere is great, the tickets and beers in the stadium are cheap and the tailgates are free. Come watch in person!!!

LETS FUCKING GO!!! So proud of these boys.
