That's the field we are going to be playing on. Field size is 110 x 75, but the roof looks low.

Wow that roof looks way low.

Half of Pardo's kicks will hit the ceiling...

Watch :fire: beat up on PDL team or do much-needed studying for some ridiculously hard final exams? :thinking:

I've seen the Bucks play a couple times, but none since they moved their home field indoors. They played NY/NJ at a local high school 7 or 8 years ago and had them 0-0 in the 81st minute before NY scored.

So much for taking this seriously, Michigan 3-2 winner.....

 

[Jntg4]

****!!!!

I blame not having a poll :smh:

I blame you for caring more about a poll than soccer, and oh yeah, only reserves in for the most part in a weird stadium.

Kick Off: RSL's loss the costliest on night of USOC upsets | MLSsoccer.com
It would be nice if Frankie cared about the lost as did Jason Kries, but as we all know that Frankie doesn't give a shit about the US OPEN CUP.

Na, Klopas cares, that's why we benched almost everybody vs. HOU last year to rest up for the Finals.

 

[Jntg4]

MLS teams not taking opponents seriously enough. Already out are: Chicago, New England, Los Angeles, Houston, Columbus, Salt Lake, Dallas.

What the.....

He started 7 players with 203 or less minutes played this year.

Puppo 203
Paladini168
Barouch 103
Jumper 22
Bone 1
Walls 0
Viderira 0

I could almost see having a reserves team out there, but these guys hardly played this year. He should of had half starters and half reserves.

Something like this one starting forward and reserve forward, two starting midfielders and two reserve midfielder. He had to starting defenders and two reserve defenders. That would make 5 regular starters and 6 reserves and if we were down (like we were) he could of took out 1, 2 or 3 reserves and made an attempt at winning the game.


Well there's nothing we could do about it anymore, let's just hope that we could get our act together and start playing better rest of the way. We need to get our injuried players back (Rolfe, Friedrich and Gibbs) and start getting some results, starting on Saturday against New England Patriots.......

No, I agree he handled it poorly, but I don't think it is that he doesn't care.

First off, that arena was terrible from the low roof to the shitty turf.

Second, if there is ONE person in the organization who cares about the US Open Cup, it's Frank Klopas. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCEXEgS4ze0"]He gets it.[/ame]

Third, this was the fourth game in less than two weeks, including travel between Portland, Chicago, and Columbus before going to Detroit, and then New England coming up this weekend. The majority of players needed rest, as shown in the Columbus game. That amount of travel wears on you (trust me, I traveled right with them for each game).

We were burned by a bad schedule (remember all those byes in March?), a shitty field (that basically accounted for the first goal against), and a couple of players who just don't give a **** (RR).

 

[giaco]

this was very painful for me.

It was shocking to say the least
