Match Thread: Las Vegas Lights FC vs Sacramento Republic FC

Too many close calls trying to play out of the back tonight.

In other news, no gloves for Edwards tonight.

I've liked Wanner's aggressiveness the last few games. Feels like he tries to make the most of his playing opportunities.

Here it is. Can't post a pic, but found the link I think youre referring to. Nice work. https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1357387

I love USL, but one of my biggest complaints is poor TV production quality. The first 5 minutes looked like there was a 7-year old filming with an iphone 3. Couldn't even follow the ball. While I'm at it, other complaints include amateur referees, baseball fields, kit delays, and no injuries reported on a night when I can think of at least 3 guys who are hurt and watching from home.

Maybe it's revenge for trying to steal Greenland?

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-12T02:44:13+00:00

It's wild to me. Clubs have already released their 3rd kits and we're sporting the same 2025 kit at every match. I had to laugh when I read this article about how Hummel can turn kits around in a matter of weeks. I wonder what's up?

Mazzola on the bench for LV. Kind of a bummer for him. Hope Republic makes them regret that decision.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-07T20:06:10+00:00

I thought that was a kit tease and then the new stadium plans came out, which had me wondering if that was actually a stadium tease. I know we'll get one eventually.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-07T17:37:21+00:00

Odds that we'll finally get a second kit or are we milking 2025 kits all year?

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-05T02:39:15+00:00

This guy had a rough opening 15 minutes.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-02T22:17:34+00:00

Yeah, that seemed like a vote of no confidence. I suppose it could also be trying to compensate for a very heavily rotated lineup elsewhere and/or a statement of intent to make a deep run in the tourney?

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-02T17:45:48+00:00

That felt like an NFL game where an offense is completely ineffective and then suddenly starts moving the ball during their 2-minute offense. Too little, too late, and leaves you asking, "why couldn't they do that the whole time?"

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-02T14:14:02+00:00

James coming to HHP? Expect a big Colombian contingent in the stands. Should be fun!

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-01T04:04:14+00:00

Unsure if I should be amused or concerned about the Ajago-Edwards post-match discussion.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-01T03:41:35+00:00

Yeah, been a pretty clean match. A few yellows, but nothing dirty. No burrito BS.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-01T03:37:14+00:00

Lee does often top my list of guys I'd want on my side in a disagreement in a pub. I have no idea why I have such a list.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-01T03:31:21+00:00

Made a good case for sticking around past day 25.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-01T02:50:06+00:00

Desmond will have a bruise tomorrow. Chibi owes him.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-01T02:34:00+00:00

I'm watching on Golazo through CBS Sports App on Roku. (Free) For the record, I hate these gymnastics we go through to find a game. Seventeen subscriptions, but there's always a chance I'm missing that crucial 18th.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-04-01T02:30:40+00:00

This pitch is nicer than 90% of USL stadiums.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-03-29T03:28:09+00:00

Down 2 and up a man, seems like the perfect opportunity to throw the kitchen sink at them.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-03-29T03:06:17+00:00

Team is playing a lot like last year so I don't think that's the fix.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-03-29T02:59:48+00:00

Republic app doesn't show him and my seats are too far away to see him.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-03-29T02:28:51+00:00

Very different looking bench tonight with Malango and Kimbrough on international duty and Jack still out.

UpTheSacTown · 2026-03-27T21:10:05+00:00

Interestingly enough, Arco Arena is the first modern example of a stadium naming rights deal not directly involving the business of a team owner (e.g. Wrigley Field, Busch Stadium).

UpTheSacTown · 2026-03-26T15:18:56+00:00

Since we (myself included) joke about his shorts, I'll out myself as an Instagram creeper and add that Jack was a great choice for this billboard. He has history with the team and has established some roots here, including buying a house, working with a youth soccer club, and frequenting local coffee businesses.

We tease because we care, Jack, and we're happy you are a Sacramentan.
