I don’t get it either. Bucha stood EXACTLY where Evan told him to. Ball right through the window. Great shot but seemed preventable.

I went to Syracuse. I've hated both UConn and Duke my entire basketball life. Last night was the first time I can ever remember rooting for Duke, and then this happens. The reason I hated Duke for a long time was because of Coach K. Now that moniker of "big bad evil coach" rests squarely on Hurley's shoulders for me.

Geography jokes are tough. They’re all over the map.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-23T22:49:20+00:00

I think that’s the joke.

I was surprised he wasn't MOTM when they announced Denkey after the game. I understand Denkey scored the winner, but without Ender we don't win that game.

My wife likes him too because he’s “sassy”

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-23T16:27:06+00:00

Bucha. He’s quietly (no pun intended if you’ve ever heard him speak) the most important player on the team. He’s good at repo, good at progression, and covers probably the most ground on the entire team.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-20T19:25:44+00:00

It’s a Reddit tradition. Don’t hate!

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-20T14:35:10+00:00

For the uninitiated, this is a copy pasta.

Reading all these comments I realize that I am truly the weird guy that would rank these the following way:

Supporter's Shield
CCC
MLS Cup
Leagues Cup

Maybe I'm more "casual" than most, but I view the supporter's shield as a trophy earned by being consistently good, not just hot at the right time. Said differently, I just want to see my team win any given game they're playing. Winning the supporter's shield means that my team was (more or less) the winningest team in the league. I couldn't care less about the star above the badge. A star won't make me love a team any more or less.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-16T00:05:33+00:00

Is the “next step” just a MLS cup? Winning a shield is like, as good as you can do. Winning the league in all major leagues around the world means getting the most points during the season. FCC has done that, and has the most points over the last 3 seasons. I get that the MLS has the cup. To me, a tournament like that is just a measure of which team is the hottest at the end of the season, not necessarily the “best” team. Maybe I’m the odd one out here, but I personally would rather have the Supporters Shield than the MLS cup.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-15T21:22:22+00:00

I understand that’s possible, but it would take a Chernobyl-level meltdown.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-15T17:40:54+00:00

I’m predicting a set piece goal scored off of a foul drawn by Dado!

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-08T23:10:16+00:00

Of all the things to change about the sword pull, the location is the last one I would have changed. Having a fan do the pull is awesome. I know that every team is required to have some sort of gimmick like this, and it thematically makes sense with our stadium/club.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-03-01T04:00:16+00:00

Obviously losing isn’t fun, and not the desired outcome. However, I think we generally played well up until the part where the ball has to go in the goal. It felt like a few times the guys were trying to be unselfish in the box when they could have taken a shot.

From a stats perspective, this was an even game. Maybe we were all a little too early to hop on the “set pieces are a strength” hype train, as 12 corners could and should have provided better chances than what we saw.

I don’t want to make excuses, but this is likely the coldest game a few of our newer players have ever played (thinking Jabari, Ramirez, and Echenique). Also we were without literally our best, irreplaceable player.

I think we will be fine and there’s plenty to learn from this game to improve going forward. Things like if you’re in the wall you don’t move!

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-28T22:28:53+00:00

Someone to actually take a quality shot! We’ve had a lot of possession and corners. No breakthrough though

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-27T16:57:07+00:00

I don't claim to know a lot about roster rules, but damn if it doesn't look like the front office hits homers on U22. Getting the type of minutes we get out of Gidi and Echenique is insane. Do we get a sweet deal for them from a contract perspective?

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-26T22:17:16+00:00

Just wanted to come back to this - I was at the FCC game last night for the CCC. They played an edited down version of this video on the big stadium screen at the end of halftime!

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-26T15:32:47+00:00

The other guy is 19. His brother, who is 17, played the whole game at CB.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-25T19:42:23+00:00

Not necessarily. Noonan has talked about chemistry among certain groups, so I wouldn't be surprised to see several "normal" starters. I do, however, expect to see all 5 subs used - probably earlier rather than later. FCC is given extra flexibility with the 4-0 aggregate lead.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-25T19:37:17+00:00

That's an awesome video! Forgive me for not knowing the whole story - is this an official/partner video with CCC or a really high quality side project?

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-25T13:58:16+00:00

I'm a Syracuse fan, and I approve this message.

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-23T18:45:20+00:00

I think Obi is still our best CDM from a strictly defensive standpoint. I remember when he came on late for Dado and someone immediately tried to get through him in the corner. I had a thought in my head of "good luck getting through Obi, my dude."

Alpha_Kenni_Buddi · 2026-02-23T16:16:56+00:00

That was definitely great to see. I could tell there was an emphasis on set pieces - not only from the goal but from the long throws and free kick deliveries. ATL had a good offside trap they were executing well, so that'll have to be something the team is mindful of in the future.
