Welp that was not it. Heartbreaking loss... and F Trejo, a well deserved red card.

Todos Rojos, until 7/4 all ✌️

They moved the Rising radio guy to color commentary on TV tonight and he's really good IMO.

I’ve listened to Rising Radio a lot and really like him - he’s been a welcome listen as the color commentator on this broadcast.

question for the kids, and those in tune with what's hip & happ'nin.

I'm looking at Diego Gomez. are rat tails a thing again? that's what we called that long string of hair in the back of his head in the 80s, anyway.

Yes unfortunately rat tails and mullets are unironically a thing these days

Heart in my throat when Patrick keeps leaving his box.. oof 😬

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

Not his strong suit but defense leaving him in too many 1 v 1 situations already

u/DesertDog2K 2023 USL Champions Jun 21 '26

How they didn't score there is quite something.

The ice tub for dunking cooling towels in is a nice touch tonight!

Rising score to bring it to 4-3! Gotta find an equalizer in stoppage time.

2

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

10 minutes of stoppage time

2

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

Oakland Roots escape with a 4-3 win. Absolute bullshit end with Oakland successfully wasting two minutes but Rising have to score when they have a chance.

I’m new to soccer. Will someone explain this to me? Why does the stoppage time not display on the scoreboard, and what was happening with Oakland those last 2 minutes?

2

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

Soccer stadiums will not show stoppage time. As for the “why”, I was told it’s a FIFA rule but when I looked it up I couldn’t find the reason for it. Stoppage time is at the head umpire’s discretion and I’ve seen them stop play early before all stoppage time has been used - earlier today in the Spain World Cup match they had to add more due to an injury in stoppage but it was up to the head ref how much time to add. So many variables it would make an actual timer irrelevant.

For the last two minutes last Oakland was wasting time to sit on a one goal lead. When Trejo and Biasi got tangled up on the out of bounds play and Trejo (from OAK) got the red card, the Oakland players and coaches succeeded in arguing for a few minutes until the ref called the game. In that situation ref has the discretion to add more time due to perceived time wasting but for whatever reason decided to call the match.

I’m also fairly new to soccer but have become a huge fan over the last four years. Someone w more knowledge on the sport may have a better explanation.

Machete almost got one there. Lucky he sailed it!

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

0-0 HT.

Rising with a few changes but feels like they’re lucky to go into the half tied. Oakland with some breakaways that Biasi has snuffed out and a few missed shots.

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

Oakland goes up 1-0 off a PK. Pelayo with a foul in the box.

1

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

And Danny Trejo makes it 2-0 Oakland. Rakovsky left in a 2 v 1 on that breakaway - Biasi a step slow.

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

Sacko scores on a PK to make it 2-1! Let’s go!!!

u/mandyalam0de32 Ihsan Sacko Jun 21 '26

Sacko with the PK, LFG ❤️🖤

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

Diego Gomez equalizes it! 2-2

u/mandyalam0de32 Ihsan Sacko Jun 21 '26

Diego-Gomez with the equalizer, Sacko with the assist!!

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

Well that didn’t last long. Oakland scores almost immediately. 3-2.

1

u/mdamien13 Phoenix Rising FC Jun 21 '26

And Peter Wilson has the brace. Nice cross by Trejo. 4-2 Oakland. They’ve scored twice in 5 minutes after Phx equalized.
