They are 8-2-0 Tops in the conference. Undefeated streak is 10.
Game Started at 7:30 central. Live right now
Enjoy


Notable Players

Billy Forbes: One of the best players in the league. Won player of the month last month. Basically Kawhi
Cesar Elizondo: Very crafty and pesky player. Leads the attack. Kind of like Manu
Rafa castillo: Old veteran. Awesome out of the set piece.
Devin Vega aka the Kid: Shows ton of potential. Basically Murray
Ibeagha: Amazing defender
Cochrane: Amazing defender

Team Notes:
Stout Defense, Explosive offense and lethal on the counter attack. We have the best goal differential in the league

I've been trying to put updates for them there^ but it's a good idea to start a new thread for them. Billy is killing it and the team in general is looking like a serious title contender. I also really like Tyrpak. Not as flashy as Billy, but really steady. Dude is underrated af imo. I also hope Cardone comes back soon. The back-up has been fine but he looks like he's pretty short and it just gives me an uneasy feeling that I didn't have with Cardone.

Missing the game right now but will probably watch the replay on the Youtubes later tonight, tbh.

Yeah Billy is legit talent. And I agree Tyrpak is underrated. He makes a lot of really great plays with his ball handling.

Resteppo I think benefits from the solid back line. Cardone I think has made the tougher saves. I think he blocked like three penalty kicks last year in his short time. It was insane.

Yeah I was just gonna post game threads here. Good way to pass some offseason. They play up till the season starts so, it's a good pass time.

You think we have a chance at getting an MLS bid, brah? It's been pretty quiet on that front since all the cities submitted their bids.

If they were smart they would. A franchise like ours would add to the credibility and stability of the league. I know it's early but look at the kind of success we are having already. Reeks of good brain trust. Also I don't think you need like 5 California teams. Another Texas team would be good imo. I'm most concerned about the stadium and capacity. I think our numbers would be good though.

Agreed about having 3 Texas teams. Sucks that Sacramento Republic is pretty much considered a shoe-in to get one of the spots even though like you said California already has a bunch of teams. Toyota Field is a nice venue imo. They'll expand it if we get a bid. The only minor issue is location since MLS prefers all the stadiums to be downtown.

Yeah it's tough man. It's hard to pass them up. They've done everything right up to this point as far as model goes. I just don't think MLS wants to go there. I think they would rather go to San Diego. Maybe they feel the same about us, I dunno.

As Toyota field goes, I wonder how much they could max capacity out at and if that would be enough. I personally like the location though and for personal reasons, my family lives in the area... But yeah Toyota Field is nice dude. Great atmosphere. Not a bad seat in the house. The old Scorpions expansion looked nice though. I wonder what the SS&E could do with it. I expect much better.
