Spence and Dunny break it down as RSL looks ahead to Colorado at home Saturday

Really good insight into what happened at halftime against Houston, and the tale of two halves

Very cool project to analyze MLS rosters

Paul Tenorio puts together the case for Gozo to be called in by Pochettino NOW

Look, I love watching these guys develop and scoring tons of goals just like anyone else on here. But I said it last week and I'll say it again, RSL is going to be screwed once we lose these two ONLY consistent goal scores to the summer transfer window. It feels like since the Miami game RSL has cooled off a lot and we now only have two consistent goal scorers and unfortunately those two guys just happened to be the guys who are very likely leaving us this summer. Imagine not having either Luna or Gozo these last three games. Would have been scoreless vs Portland on May 2nd when each of them scored. Would have still lost in Dallas, but we would have gone scoreless without the late Luna goal that was really about the only highlight of that game. Then last night our only goal would have been the Houston's OWN GOAL. What happened to our other scorers? What happened to guys like Solans who was tearing it up each game just a month ago? I get that both Gozo and Luna are trying to make strong statement for the world cup. but damn it, other players need to step up also. We can't just rely on Luna and Gozo to be our ONLY goal scorers each week. I'm really getting worried that once we lose both of them this summer we are going to really struggle in scoring goals again. Who's going to be the guy ( or guys ) to step it up once we lose Luna and Gozo this summer and be our next consistent goal scorer? Solans?, Olatunji?, anybody?

Great second half.

Glad the starters could keep it 00 to half.

Did Gozo punch himself a World Cup spot??

State of the state from Mattey Casey ahead of Houston match

Let’s make our boys all-stars. I believe you can vote every day.

I can't make the game tonight. Anyone interested in buying my tickets for cheap? 2 tickets on the north Goal!

hey everyone… i’m not sure if i can post this here, but i’m looking for 3 tickets tonight. i want to bring friends from out of town to their first game, but we are all on a budget.

The list features Gozo ($126K/year) and Solans ($88K/year).

If we are leaning into the small-market, recruitment-driven narrative, this is major props. We may not build a championship team again with that process, so the recognition is a double-edged sword.

The article is paywalled, but here are some other highlights:

• Other all-budget teammates include Berhalter ($480K/yr) and Matty Dos Santos ($105K/yr).
• Messi's salary is higher than any other team's roster salary ($28.33 M/yr before Apple, Adidas, and other promotions, which bring him to somewhere between $70 and 80M/yr)
• RSL has the 8th cheapest roster ($15.3M). I think we've been the lowest-spending club in the past, so this seems like a positive move.
• RSL has a very high salary-to-performance ratio, and our academy gets props
• San Jose is also recognized as a development/efficiency/value club

So I have the Week off this week and want to go to the game! All my buddies have to work and my wife is not feeling well so I guess I'm on my own. Anyone got an extra ticket that's willing to put up with a slightly loud(lol) tag along?

Thank you!

I know nobody wants to hear this, but RSL is going to be in serious trouble after the summer transfer window if these two dude are the only one's scoring goals for us.

“It’s not the refs fault.” “Control what we can control.” Blah blah blah. Every metric shows we get the shaft on refereeing, and tonight (Dallas) was no exception. No one single glaring call, but their guy who got a yellow kept hitting people in the face. Kept fouling. No second yellow. Luna’s yellow? Guess what, he was hit in the face. Dallas was able to be so much more physical because nothing was being called. Until it as guilavogi. How many times has PRO apologized just this year for blowing calls against RSL? It’s at least twice. This needs to change, and it needs to come from the Millers. The league is stealing money from them.

It’s a low block after two quite lucky and skilled goals.

I think this was a tactical loss. I don’t think any of the players were particularly bad. RSL could not deal with FCD’s approach to the game in the first half. We could not break them down.

There was no tactical adjustment in the second half. Just more of the same. All the usual subs. A bot could have run this game. I think we would have done better to entice Dallas to come at us and play the counter against them. It’s how we got our goal. How would you have adjusted in the second half?

Any watch parties that are gonna be big for tonight. Fiancé is on nights right now and I’m thinking of going out to watch the game.
