can someone fill me in..  are we any good?

Middle of the pack team but we certainly have a chance to make the playoffs.

Goodness me what a goal from Alcivar

[travisura]

Bender's heat map for this game is gonna be insane. He's everywhere all at once.

[MillionDollarCam]

Solid half so far, I’d like to see more aggressiveness from Mora. We can only go forward with Lindsey down the right hand side so much before it becomes obvious.

Additionally, why play Bender on the left when you don’t use the left? He provides great service and won’t be able to do it if we don’t play down the left.

[MillionDollarCam]

I fugging love MAR, his honesty and straightforwardness is unmatched. Wish also managers and coaches were like that.

It also looks like Franco is cramping or pulled up with something, wouldn’t be surprised to see Titi Ortiz or Ruiz come on.

[MillionDollarCam]

Really need more from Franco.

Bender and Alcivar have been great in the midfield. We really need one of Franco, Ruiz, or Ortiz to step up.

[travisura]

GET FUGGED ATLANTA

[MillionDollarCam]

Charlotte is now up to 5th in the table… playoff position.

Great game, take your weak ass players back to atl. Number 8 fallen all over the field all damn day

[MillionDollarCam]

 

The fanbase is making The Bank a tough place to play for opposing teams and while the turf was a sore subject to talk about regarding the football team, the futbol team is reaping the rewards. MAR’s Spanish tiki taka style of play works extremely well on turf due to the nature of the quick one-touch passing.

Only six more wins and Charlotte will have already matched Austin’s (the most recent expansion team besides Charlotte) win total from their first year.

[MillionDollarCam]

In Foxborough to take on the Revs tonight, would love to get all three points tonight because the Revs are really struggling this year and hardly pulling.

I like the tactics in midfield, but there's not enough urgency and a complete refusal to send a cross into the box for some reason. Been a while since we put one through off a non-set piece
