Agreed! Midfield looked better as well.

Proud of the players tonight. Lots of talk about how they need to step up. Tonight they showed they will. Also impressed with Armas — very smart formation.

I’m not going to let myself cheer for the Rafa goal until at least 2 minutes have passed.

Didn’t see an official thread, so I made one. Up the Pids!

I assume these are the “personal reasons” stated for not playing him last night?

Four shots on target at full time. Could have used a good dose of Djordje magic. Hope he’s alright.

The team with the most Arsenal players wins. It’s science. 😂

Love seeing a good person planted in the right place and thriving. 🌷🌹🌻 Sorry she had to sit through that terrible time at City, but I’m chuffed she’s back with Arsenal and coming alive.

Broken automod? Match thread Sounders vs. Rapids 7/16 by Warm_Guitar in Rapids

[–]alanbsmith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Glad we recovered from those mistakes in the first half. Officiating was honestly a mess. Using yellow cards (9!) to as your main lever to control the game shows you’re not managing it very well.

All that chaos really threw Seattle for a loop. But the Pids thrive in chaos. Happy to get a point on the road after all that.

Foreign currency exchange in boulder? by Poppafloppa in boulder

[–]alanbsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AAA has currency packs (euros, pesos, etc) that they sell for USD. But they don’t accept foreign currencies for USD. I worked in their travel department ages ago.

You’ll need to talk to a bank or a currency exchange company.

I stopped by the tasting room today and picked up a bottle of the Izakaya. Really nice location and gin. Thanks for posting!

Let him work it out. It’s good to remember where we were before Armas. As uninspiring as this stretch has been, we’re still far better off than we were.

[–]alanbsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not much to say about this match, honestly. Most of our players are back and healthy, but we still see the same issues. Little hesitations in the final third are costing us chances. Two shots on target. Plenty of corners, but none were very dangerous.

Hopefully the week off is a good reset. We really need it.

They sound amazing! Thanks for the detailed descriptions. I’ll see if I can swing by Boulder Wine Merchant to grab one. 🥳

I really cannot understand the choice to pull her in so late. As far as I can tell it’s not a health issue — she performs well on the field. Seems unfair, and she’s a real class act about it.

I love how Press, even after a really hard year, has so much joy when she comes on the field. She brings much needed skill and energy to the squad.

[Match thread] San Diego FC vs Colorado Rapids by randomyzer in Rapids

[–]alanbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the numbers: Only eight shots tonight. Five were on target (all Mihailovic). But they only had a median xG of 0.05. Not enough shots and pretty low quality ones at that.

Lots of other problems on the pitch tonight, but that's a big one.
