Excited for this one, more than I thought I would be. Sad to see Jim go, clearly the end of an era for the club in a lot of ways, eager to see what this team can do though.
I could’ve used this last season. I didn’t pony up for it (no regrets) then but T-Mobile renewed free for this season so, more sports punishment ahead for me.
Watch party at the Cliff of Union Despair, woo hoo!

Westfield over Mbaizo is a surprise, rest was expected based on injuries reported. Interested to say Makhanya at MLS level and how Lukic fills the 6 role.
Decent first half, lot of problems on the Orlando goal but the press created the Union goal and lead to a couple of corners. Curious to see subs as players still getting in shape, there is not a lot of offense on the bench.
The Union of last year had no problem scoring, good to see that hasn’t gone away. More interested to see if the last 20 minute collapses have been resolved
No complaints about the outcome so far. But amusing that our new “flexible” coach waited until the 70th minute to sub in 1st game and then brings on… Bedoya and Donovan.
Cool Old School logos!

Same here. I dig this
Love this! I don’t have Apple so I’m hoping to read what people think as it’s happening

I wonder who’s gonna be the CB pairing. I could totally see Makhanya starting since Ian has only played the 1 preseason game.
I was right!

I thought the same too, re: Westfield. But game 1, why not try him?
They’re definitely more exciting for better or worse (often one following the other)
D has given up some point blank opportunities, but the attack has grown into the half nicely. Good energy so far.
Energy is high, possession looks really good, lots of chances. A pretty impressive half of soccer, all things considered.

That’s certainly a good start!

Glad to see Blake starting the season in good form!

This.
and a formation change!
Would have loved to see Bueno instead of Bedoya.
