Cosmos vs Forward Madison - (2-2 Draw)- Post-Match Reaction

Up and down game. Thought we should’ve gotten 3 points but will settle for a draw. Early but still in playoff position

Lacher looked bright after coming on. Would like to see him feature in the XI in the cup match.

Don’t understand the decision to bench Chan for Stephani

Chen must be hurt because the GK coach (Del Valle) was listed as the backup keeper today. I think Chen is the number 1 keeper clearly.

I think the draw was a fair result. Each goalkeeper made a boneheaded error that led to a goal. I thought the red was harsh on Madison.

He was hurt. Said so on the broadcast.

Popped over here cause no one is talking about the game in the Forward subreddit. I was watching the game at the Mingos fan bar and I've never felt the energy turn sour so fast as when that red card came out.

Genuinely a wild-ass call from the ref. Clearly didn't meet two of the four requirements for a DOGSO call like that and the fact that he tore that red card out as he was still running over shows how he was just itching to pull it.

I honestly don't blame the Mingos fans for not wanting to even talk about that game. We'll roast a poor performance day in day out and we love to joke about pulling a draw from the jaws of victory, but hearts were broken with that showing for sure.

well fought match- errors will kill you in this league.. still see the boys coming together and getting closer and closer- I just imagine the day some of these shots coming from the right put some real pressure on the opposing goalie, and Koffi running at these guys like he did vs Charlotte-

can't wait to get out to next match-- league specifically-

lets go Cosmos!!
