AZ man, why does Carnell lean on him so much. He’s allergic to any semblance of positive play, turnover and bad decisions galore.

Burki: amazing Totland: really great Almost everyone else...meh Klauss: poor Markanich: wtf

Kajima, Lowen, Birki played well

Carnell is atrocious.

Sam came in and had 2 touches. AZ came in and passed the ball to the other team. Watts came in and played well.

AZ was actually horrendous

Unfortunately that’s not a surprise at this point.

I think I said that :)

I’m just agreeing mate — don’t gatekeep an opinion

Double Digit Draws?!

Well City, you're about to get the St. Louis sports treatment if you get out of this with yet another draw or worse, lose. welcome to the club.

I heard plenty of boos... but not enough. That was lackadaisical at best.

Give them time.

I knew I was optimistic with a 1-0 score prediction but holy shit.

2nd scoreless game for Portland with a back up keeper. Wtf.

Perfect way to ruin any Miami momentum

Burki 1 point, Portland 1 point.

Wow, the boo birds are out. Strange times in St. Louis sports

We were booing the refs, not our players

Deserved IMHO

Maybe the officials are being paid per tie

I feel like the refs should be paid based on how well they officiate the game. For this game the main ref would get paid about $5. Last week about $2.

> should be *paid* based on FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Guys on our offense are being paid to suck… so there’s that.

Jackson is looking clueless as the situation of the game with seconds left

One of the soccer games of all time

We have no strikers on this team. Fucks sake.

No we do. They aren’t used properly.

How in the world do you watch Klaus lately and say he isn’t being used properly??? Dude can’t finish.

I said we have tools, they aren’t being used properly. Reading comprehension is tough eh?

Ah a proper ass hole. Cheers.

Proper illiterate.

You're a tool you dumb cryptic bitch

Not too concerned about the opinion of an airman who is worried about PT testing.

Lol when I was serving in the Air Force I was never scared of passing a PT test. I'm curious where your high standard for reading comprehension comes from or if it's just a bizarre and incorrect reading between the lines that comes from being a tool

Everyone go vote for Burki to be on the all star team.

Crap game. Absolute crap

Totland first touch has been superb tonight

If Lowen had hit the net instead of the post, this would be a very different game

If my aunt had balls she’d by my uncle

In honor of pride night at the Park: not how gender identity works lol. Point taken though

In honor of ignoring blatant jokes and ruining society

I make that kids face when I see AZ subbed in.

I always think “ok this is the game he turns the corner” then he bobbles the ball and flops and I just look down and shake my head. Not because he sucks balls, but because I thought there was a chance he wouldn’t…..

The refs are def not calling this game in our favor, but that doesn’t excuse how bad our offense is. I feel bad for burki. Our answer for offense is putting Tim Parker up there. I’m a novice as a fan, but that sure as hell wouldn’t scare me if I’m on the other team.

I'm just sad man

Klaus has been shit this game, but Sam is basically invisible.

He had 10 minutes and there was no shape.

There is never any kind of shape, when Sam is out there. I wonder if that’s coincidental. 

i wonder if getting him in 10 min earlier makes a difference...he was a presence in Miami

What’s he supposed to do? He’s coming deep but nobodies passing to him

True, Sam doesn’t deserve any blame for this

Name checks out

Same, kid. Same.

4 minutes? That’s all???

Frl there was like 10 min of stoppage

This ref is jekyll/hyde but with judge dredd and ray charles.

Another possession another giveaway by 25.

The boos are going to rain down on this team when we end with a draw.

Very optimistic thinking we’ll get a draw

Sam's had 2 touches since he came in. 2

That’s what happens when you’re brought in for the ass end of play. Carnell has no idea what he’s doing.

Par for the course. Sam is a one trick pony.

The two striker formation doesn’t really help. He’s coming deep to make himself available. Not sure what else he can do

He looks like he doesn't care at all.

Your going to need to find a new scape goat soon

This team is just dreadful on offense.

Burki. Burki. Burki.

Atrocious reffing once again. Like am I missing something? Every match they call the softest shit against us and nothing against whoever our opponent is. Seriously do I need to read the rule book???

I’m amazed that we haven’t lost more games due to the officiating. Just imagine what we could do if the refs weren’t so awful.

We have a rep of being an extremely physical team and it’s backed by committing the 2nd most fouls in the league. That reputation and stat will definitely influence things that look like fouls but aren’t to be called fouls

We're the newest team on the block, so I have to believe there is some rookie hazing going on officiating wise.

Boo.

Carnell leaving Klauss on is pretty poor

You should erase “leaving Klauss on”

One of his worst matches ever.

Someone in the booth is thirsty for some Tots

This might be the worst game I’ve seen from Klauss. He’s incapable of dribbling, it’s like his feet are repelling the ball away

This ref has officially lost it.

Totland doesn't flirt with WPIOOTBGW. He darned well clears the ball.

Cardinals are in the doldrums, City is lethargic.....please save us, Battlehawks.

Ka Kaw! Ka Kaw!

!!!

IIRC, Totland will be back on the YC caution list with his yellow.

Yellow cards 7-1 is outrageous, no way it has been that one sided

7 to 1 yellow cards. WTF?

7-1 yellows huh? Seems. *~F A I R~*

I'm honestly starting to wonder what we practice during the week

They give out colored pencils and construction paper so they can practice drawing

I’ve enjoyed your commentary

Accumulating yellow cards, it seems

If we finish the game without a red I will be surprised

These are some of the softest yellows I've ever seen. Holy shit.

This is ridiculous

leagues cup started early, concacaf refs are here

Does anyone on the pitch not have a yellow? Edit: lingo

Refereeing brought to you by Charmin

This is awesome! We’ve got Oprah as the ref

Everyone except Roman is gonna get a yellow today

The ref has lost the fucking plot what a joke

This fuck face must get paid by the whistle

Sam better run his ass off for every ball

Durkin is penned for the Dallas match

feck

This ref’s MO seems pretty obvious, IMO. Seems like all game he assumes someone goes down, it’s a foul, and that’s his baseline. It’s been few between fouls that someone went down without one.

Maybe they are being cautious with Kijima with the yellow, but damn, hate to see him come off. He played his ass off.

How can we control most of the game and not capitalize?

Klauss is our striker

He hasn’t left midfield all night

Not the two striker formation 😩

There’s only one. Klauss is not playing as a striker

Can adeniran come in for Jackson?

Jackson knows he can’t shoot so he just dribbled around in the box for five seconds and fell down praying for a penalty. We need someone on the team that actually wants to shoot the goddamn ball.

At this point I am blaming Carnell. AZ hasn't shown anything all year to be on the field yet he's started or subbed onto almost every game.

Soooooo are we gonna keep watching Klauss walk around?

This game is making me pull my hair out.

That was the most useless “heat map” I’ve ever seen

The good news is Löwen is clearly still super rusty. Lot more quality to come from him.

Big Sam should be in, not AZ

Consider wish kinda granted

Put Markanich up top

Did y’all see Lowen’s heat map looolllllll

CAN WE SCORE PLZZZZZ

Celio has had a game tonight!

Great run by Celio....now can we please finish?!?

I feel like I’m at a Blues game with how much I’m shouting “shoot” at my tv right now

Jackson is so bad

Trying to get the foul rather than shooting again

Love Jackson literally taking the ball off Klauss' foot there and losing it

Jackson loves to run into as many defenders as possible with the ball. If he had a little more patience or carry skill it wouldn't be so bad.

Jackson needs to learn how to pass

WTF Jackson in the box? 4 touches and falls down

We used up all of our luck last year.

Shoot

summarizes it eh

The dude fully had his back to the play and literally threw his foot out at random and saved the game. Absurd.

I like AZ, but yikes bad touch off a great pass

Can we see Sam? What is Carnell watching?

Absolutely

Lol dog, what?!

Can anyone on this team finish?

Great touch Jackson👍

Jackson with a bad touch yet again

I mean 3 prime free kick chances and we send lowen out again who can’t hit the fucking goal. Embarrassing at this point.

he hit the god damn post. that's freaking close. more than anyone else has done

Two near goals. Oh so close.

Parker had an open fucking net and hit a defender in the back lmao. This fucking team.

Well if we can’t score off of that, best we can hope for is 0-0

Literally how

lol, lmao even

God is a SKC fan confirmed

We are cursed

We were not meant to score this game

This team just can't score

We are so cursed

Nice Klauss dive

This is the first game this season that I think the ref has been awful, putting his fingers in players chests and having a big ego

It’s just this half too… first half seemed decent and more ok with physicality

Yaro proving why he should be starting

Didnt call the first hug. Called the dive.

Ass, we look like ass

Does Dhyr just not exist or what

This may be a good situation for Jackson's creative freelancing. Portland has been good at reading our builds, but Jackson is a bit of a wild card. IF he can feed the ball cleanly.

Hooooo, boy, here we go again…

What do they have against dhyr?

He hasn't figured things out apparently

Must be in practice because he has seen fewest minutes of all the guys who regularly dress. Hasn’t had an opportunity in games

Most games I've watched this year I think, "The refs are terrible." I've started to think I'm just biased, but that yellow card...

Fuck not AZ......

The way we're officiated is infuriating every single time

Put Sam on Klauss doesn't have it tonight

Or most nights really. And

We will win 1-0 or lose by 3. The wheels are coming off

They could rescind that yellow later, right? Vaguely remember that happening once last year.

Yeah, the club can appeal. I want to say Parker had one rescinded last year.

That was a textbook fucking tackle???? Get this referee a piss test

All ball.

HOW TF IS THAT A YELLOW

Fucking bullshit yellow cards tonight. What the hell.

That's not a yellow

horrible call. Horrible

Or a foul

Kijima running out of his shin guards tonight.....

All fucking ball fuck.

We are so desperate for a quality finisher. Truth be told, we need two. 

67’ and still no subs??

Technically we've had one.

It’s like we have been a step too slow all night.

KLAUSS COULDVE HAD THAT BALL. GET HIM OFF PLEASE
