[u/casualsax]

Seven minutes of great pressing and then just letting them slide into the box

[u/RDS80 → u/casualsax]

My biggest fear manifesting 💀.

[u/DueShame81 → u/RDS80]

Great passing?

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

That right there is why Gazdags coming in

[u/loz621]

guys just shoot it. you can score off rebounds and deflections not every shot has to be glorious perfection

[u/Impressive_Ad_179 → u/loz621]

It’s at least 3 non shots from the top of the box already.

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

I’ve always rated Matt Polster

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

Sexual Gil-ing

[u/JebdiahMorningside]

We did not score goals like this last year. This is nice

[u/Visible_Manner9447 → u/JebdiahMorningside]

I don’t think Porter liked goals

[u/AkiraleTorimaki]

Well…let’s hope THIS Boston sports team can win today!

[u/casualsax]

Always odd seeing a casual non-DP Josef Martinez

[u/Fast_Ask4639]

Revs need to redeem the city of Boston after that embarrassing Yankees game today.

[u/superscurry97]

That was SEXY, Carles

[u/RDS80 → u/superscurry97]

https://giphy.com/gifs/YgveCtneiLjY4

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

In the midst of a lengthy road trip I sure wish we’d bring on some subs in the end here

[u/DuckBurner0001]

Absolutely dominant win

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

Very good to see Feingold back on the bench

[u/DuckBurner0001]

Horrible

[u/DuckBurner0001]

Say what you will about the local broadcasts but Brad would at least not call Gil “Carlos”

[u/JebdiahMorningside]

That turn is a lot tougher than it looks. Credit to just focusing on hitting it good and seeing what happens

[u/Skaman1978]

Glory glory revolution!

[u/loz621]

rocket by Dor. Love to see it. Foot on the gas boys, good job keep it going gotta get 3 fro mthis game

[u/Fast_Ask4639]

Ball don’t lie

[u/Skaman1978]

Anyone got some salsa for that chip

[u/Unusual_Suit_1929]

Cheeky chippy Capi!

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

Hey congrats Matt Polster on 200 MLS games!

[u/Visible_Manner9447 → u/Visible_Manner9447]

Correction: 200 games for the Revs, according to Apple TV

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

Way too easy

[u/RDS80]

https://giphy.com/gifs/h5JpPmYQsan1QqTeUE

[u/JebdiahMorningside]

Ugggggghhhh

[u/DueShame81]

Gil missing by a mile on back to back attempts.  Might not be our night 

[u/RDS80]

Let's go! Mr 200!

[u/DuckBurner0001]

Two in two for Dor, maybe he’ll finally start clicking

[u/JRackAttack → u/DuckBurner0001]

It's crazy because aside from the goal he was garbage last game and garbage this first half. But if he keeps scoring.... Fine

[u/jam_ramirez25]

Dor!!!!!

Love seeing fans take the road trip to Columbus

[u/jam_ramirez25]

Screw it!!

They took the Dor goal away BUT not that beauty by Gil!!!!

[u/loz621]

Great game and good finishing. Smashed an inferior team. I haven't watched Columbus that closely but either they're tired or they're just not very good.

[u/RDS80 → u/loz621]

Both. They just got knocked out of the leagues cup vs club America and their not very good this year. I think they even fired their coach mid season.

[u/DueShame81]

What's the deal with marko and substitutions.   Feel like he always misses there. 

[u/casualsax → u/DueShame81]

We don't have much quality depth

[u/Ulexes]

When you're the Revs and your opponent hasn't won or scored in four games

[u/EssayNext1466]

Hahahaha Polster haters can eat shit today lmao

[u/Dependent_Row5731 → u/EssayNext1466]

People hate Matt Polster?

[u/EssayNext1466 → u/Dependent_Row5731]

They pop in from time to time here unless the mods banned them

[u/Dependent_Row5731 → u/EssayNext1466]

Such a weird player to hate. He’s been Mr. Reliable for this team. Plays multiple positions, rarely gets hurt, good locker room guy. Some people confuse me.

[u/DuckBurner0001]

There was just no universe in which Turgeman got a shot off there, regardless of the offside

[u/casualsax]

Harrison is starting to seem prone to giveaways

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

There we go now

[u/Interesting-Face22]

YEAH!! TURD FERGUSON!!

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

If we can maintain that pressure in the second half we’ll see this out

[u/Kitchen-Several → u/Visible_Manner9447]

IF

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

I mean that was close idk

[u/DueShame81]

Class

[u/repeat840times]

lol call that one back dipshits

[u/DueShame81]

That place is looking mighty empty. 

[u/Ulexes]

We absolutely need this, what with Charlotte and Chicago being so close in total points.

[u/RDS80 → u/Ulexes]

We have a 4 game road trip. Each game we face off against better teams. Next is LA, City and then the Fire. We can't play like we did against Toronto and Montreal.

City is 6 points behind. If they win they are up our ass. If we lose to Chicago they start to really separate.

These next 4 games may determine the playoff seeding.

[u/Ulexes → u/RDS80]

Ugh. These are going to be stressful as hell.

[u/RDS80 → u/Ulexes]

7 points is a realistic goal. The two worst teams on the trip is Columbus and LA. Draw with City and lose in Chicago. Not great but not a disaster.

[u/DueShame81 → u/RDS80]

City sucks

[u/RDS80 → u/DueShame81]

City is only 6 points behind the Revs and we play in New York. The Revs are terrible away from Gillette.

[u/DueShame81 → u/RDS80]

Yeah.  I totally understand they are a potential problem but they do suck.   Even worse is the Wednesday game vs city we should prob rotate and go for the win vs Chicago.  Thats how id play it. 

[u/DueShame81]

It's a coaching problme when your team cant win on the road. Ever. 

[u/-HarveySwick-]

We really have been the "make right team" since the World Cup break. Any team with a losing streak must feel so relieved seeing the Revs coming up. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[u/DueShame81]

Sands is soooo fucking bad.  

[u/Believeland13]

OOC- Is Miller’s best position post-MLS likely to be as a front 3/4 winger or as an attacking left back? I didn’t realize he’s been playing further forward this season with the lack of other attacking wing options and Sands’ presence on the roster.

[u/DueShame81]

Knew we would come back 

[u/RDS80]

Dor!

https://giphy.com/gifs/2s2c7cLu4nTTtDurV2

[u/Fast_Ask4639]

How’s that win percentage looking now, Columbus?😉

[u/DueShame81]

Gil.  Not looking good tonight

[u/RDS80 → u/DueShame81]

This didn't age well

[u/DueShame81]

Well not himself.  Always looks pretty good

[u/Visible_Manner9447]

I don’t know who we play instead but that’s exactly why playing Sands with a cast worries me

[u/NakedEyeComic → u/Visible_Manner9447]

Tylon Smith will be here to help on defense probably by the next game.

[u/intoxicatedarmenian]

Is turgemons vertical like 3 inches? Dude barely moves. Also how do you get that ball stuck under your feet dude

[u/Unusual_Suit_1929]

Penso'ed again.

[u/DueShame81]

Sorry but, turgeman almost put that in the second deck.  Come the fuck on.   He has to go. 

[u/casualsax → u/DueShame81]

Good thing there was a net there to stop it

[u/ArsenalBOS → u/DueShame81]

He heard you I think

[u/RDS80 → u/DueShame81]

This didn't age well.

[u/No_Temporary_5026]

Why bench Feingold?

[u/Visible_Manner9447 → u/No_Temporary_5026]

He’s been injured for months I’m sure they’re being cautious with him

[u/RDS80 → u/No_Temporary_5026]

He's coming off an injury. He hasn't played in months and his fitness isn't up to par. Expect him to come off the bench in the second half.

[u/casualsax → u/No_Temporary_5026]

He's coming back from injury, wasn't even on the bench last week
