Shea with a beautiful free kick goal for the U.S.

Ricketts had no reason to be stuck in no man's land. Either come out all of the way and take the ball from your confused backline, or stay in your **** net. Never should have gotten chipped.

Ribeiro is having a phenomenal season, and he should start every match. Guy is a bull. He has a knack for the ball that you can't teach. Always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Nice finish on the goal. Great assist on Kaka's goal. Pedro is a fun add-on.

Mwanga did better up top than I thought he would.

We seemed very content after tying it in the first half, which is why the second half was somewhat boring. It's a great result in the end. Thought Luke Boden and Tyler Turner both did well overall. Nice to see an RB who can cross the ball higher than 2 feet.

Kaka was visibly frustrated in the 2nd half. Kept getting his legs chopped at. So far so good on his health though. That little volley shot was a sign of his past brilliance and he continues to look great.

Avila I don't think should be a starter. Better as a sub. Rochez did well today off the depleted bench. Okugo is the heart of our midfield. He and Collin are owning the defensive end.

Ribeiro has a very imposing physique. He is built like an NBA PF or american football player. He has surprisingly nimble feet and quickness. Seems to be able to make things happen. I want to see if he is able to use his physique in fixed pieces to get some headers to the back of the net. I think he can really bully some defenders down there. What a find Orlando City!

Another big game for Orlando. Who's going, who's watching on UniMas tonight?

7 pm? Great. We need this win. Been getting a lot of draws.

Was looking forward to working this game, but they had call outs at the arena, so now I'm working Solar Bears game. Boring!

This game has been really exciting. The best of the season.

What a save by Shea

J-Mezzy · Post #229 » by **J-Mezzy** » Sat Apr 4, 2015 12:36 am

Yeah, great save.

This feels like an EPL game with the up and down runs, crazy tempo, lack of midfield control, and amount of chances. Can't believe it's still 0 0. The finishing has been pretty poor. Both teams should have at least 2 goals by now.

Heartbreak for Orlando.

J-Mezzy · Post #231 » by **J-Mezzy** » Sat Apr 4, 2015 12:58 am

AarAarrrggghhh.

Second time this happens to us at home. Give up a goal in stoppage time.

Played beautifully but can't finish. So frustrating

damn that sucks

Another heart breaker.. so many missed opportunities

Post #234 » by **craig01** » Sat Apr 4, 2015 1:05 am

32k at the game, great atmosphere, but damn this team can't finish in the box and apparently on defense in stoppage time.

I really wonder if Molino has the skill sets necessary for MLS.

J-Mezzy · Post #235 » by **J-Mezzy** » Sat Apr 4, 2015 1:12 am

People are going to stop showing up if we continue to struggle scoring and can't win at home.

Molino was active and created chances, but his finishing was horrible. The whole front side was pathetic in front of goal. Gotta get better. We got talent, but need to learn to finish.

I wasn't able to attend or watch but sounds like a crushing finish again. Seems to be a loss of focus late in games but this team will come together. I will be one month in between live games, that truly sucks.

Still am curious as hell about the new stadium and how this all works out. I have a bad feeling we will be starting next season in the Citrus Bowl.

AdamTheGreek · Post #237 » by **AdamTheGreek** » Sat Apr 4, 2015 6:08 pm

The new stadium is being constructed. No worries there. I think the size will be a bit larger than 20k though. 23k I think makes sense.

Another outstanding Citrus Bowl crowd. 32,000+ strong. We deserve a damn home win, but soccer works out that way sometimes.

Ricketts could have stopped that free kick. He guessed right, just didn't punch at it properly. A younger guy gets there no problem. He and Shea did combine for the outstanding triple save combo.

D.C. United's keeper was Superman in the first half. We should have had at least 2-3 goals. United's defense was swiss cheese.

Similar story at home. Own possession. Get decent looks, but really we did a lot of overpassing again and just didn't shoot enough at the net.

Sucked to see Ribeiro go out hurt. He was looking confident against that United backline. Kaka and Pedro have been our best players this season.

Kaka you could tell was carrying that minor calf injury. Wasn't moving as well as in other matches. It didn't help either that United players were getting away with chopping at his legs. I would've gotten pissed too.

Larin looked okay up top. Rushed himself at times, then he'd take too long to react on a few occasions. He'll learn.

Rivas was great on the left, AND HE ACTUALLY SHOT THE BALL.

Molino's had better games.

Nice to see Ramos actually lift the ball higher than 2 feet.

I thought some of our corner and free kick takes were no where near as well taken as United's.

I don't Avila should start any longer.

Let's see how we do in that Portland atmosphere.

Our next home match isn't until Sunday April 26th. Not worried about crowd size since it's Toronto coming to town. That'll be a tough one.

Reports are that OCSC is eyeing Chicharito which seems to good to be true. Real problem at striker currently so if we could get that guy it would be pretty insane.

J-Mezzy · Post #239 » by **J-Mezzy** » Tue Apr 7, 2015 1:08 am

Getting Chicharo would be awesome. Great Mexican fan base, good striker that still has a lot to offer, very good finisher. Hope it's true.

Any update of Ribeiro? We need him.
