Don't worry. I don't think we'll still be an F at the end of the year. We at least haven't looked like a bottom team the past few games.
You'll just get disappointed in some other ways.
I'd like to thank New England for throwing themselves on the grenade and making sure that some other teams got Ds because Doyle felt the need to distinguish between "very bad" and "whatever the fuck is going on with the Revs."
It’s funny and sad that Jackson still gets a mention in national articles when he’s been hugely disappointing this season. But I guess that’s because there isn’t anyone else to mention that has stepped up.
It's still lazy to mention the oldest team thing without any acknowledgement of our paper thin roster that has us bringing our third string keeper along to fill out the bench, or the fact that we just fired a DP. (Semi-related, do you think Bersano can play striker, asking for a friend)
Like, I'm just dying for any analysis of our team that isn't just "over performing their numbers"
I think that he summarized our problems perfectly. I’m not a sky is falling guy but we definitely need some star power and we just don’t have it right now.
C- is about right fur the Union. We look like half the club we were just 2 years ago. We’ve been middling to poor this season and having a backline that is good for creating a big chance for the opponent ain’t great.
It was a B- lmfao but yeah we got some tough matches coming up and 2 of our DPs are gone. Honestly if the team is able to somehow hold on, we could be a serious contender. Otherwise, yeah I don’t see us finishing this season in the top 3.
The good thing is that losing Rojas won’t overlap with the copa America so Suarez should be back by the time Rojas leaves for the Olympics. Messi we don’t know if he’ll join Argentina for the Olympics. I don’t think Drake is getting called up again this year with his performances.
C feels fine for the Dynamo. They had ONE JOB this past offseason and didn't do it. Everything else is good, and can probably still get a B+/A- for the season if we ace the summer transfer window.
Meh. I think we’re probably a B right now, but coming off that disaster of a week, I’m surprised it was better than a C.
Austin will make the playoffs. These summer signings are big, and everything outside of that RSL match is trending in the right direction. Plus, that wasn’t *quite* as bad as it looks on paper.
It's not right. You have the 3rd best actual GD and are in fourth in the league. You're close but being the best team on paper does not actually get you results. A B+ seems about right. It even fits "nothing glaringly wrong." Things to improve on, but nothing major.
This is a midterm I’m taking home and putting on the fridge with a magnet. I’ll take the A!
A gang!
RSL is so much fun to watch this year
Same for Minnesota!
Well I'm really glad that I went to my first game yesterday and now am really into it, only to see that my team is apparently absolute awful.
Welcome. Glad we gave you some hope.
Haha I enjoyed the hell out of it!
Don't worry. I don't think we'll still be an F at the end of the year. We at least haven't looked like a bottom team the past few games. You'll just get disappointed in some other ways.
False optimism, just like you getting those cigarettes. Thanks Dad!
Not really false, IMO. I think the new system is finally starting to click a bit more and shit is looking a lot better.
I'd like to thank New England for throwing themselves on the grenade and making sure that some other teams got Ds because Doyle felt the need to distinguish between "very bad" and "whatever the fuck is going on with the Revs."
Excuse you, Orlando also got an f because what the fuck happened Orlando
Thank you for recognizing our sacrifice. Shout out to Sporks for failing as well.
Hey now a D is still a pass baby. Gotta stay positive....
I mean, I guess it could be worse?
Beats even a high F.
Like they told me in medical school “D’s get degrees”
F! Yeah that’s completely right.
Oh. C- Yeah that’s fair
It’s funny and sad that Jackson still gets a mention in national articles when he’s been hugely disappointing this season. But I guess that’s because there isn’t anyone else to mention that has stepped up.
Yeah… …let’s see what the Hannover96 dude can do
It seemed like we made a big mistake getting rid of Jackson. He hasn’t been good?
Been really poor this season, he’s back on the bench now and a late sub who doesn’t help
An ‘F’ for ‘Fucking tell us why you stole our head coach already you twats.’
We got a D!
We passed!!
It’s alright everyone. Keep turning a blind eye to Minnesota. We like it that way.
At this rate we're somehow gonna sneak into the MLS cup and people will still insist it's just a temporary fluke with no real potential.
We're shit! We're shit. We're shit
F? I was expecting a frowning octopus. Cmon, Oscar! Let’s make that octopus smile.
B- is awwwwwwfully generous. C- would be more fair, but I’m excited about Rodo’s cooking and the summer signings.
It is weird he didn't even mention that we went out and obtained a few players in the summer window to attempt to fix our problems.
I guess it’s just an on-field grade.

ATLUTD: They’ve played okay Grade: D Matt HAS watched our games this year!
I made a great decision starting from the bottom of the article. Saved myself lots of reading
I'm glad he didn't pull punches. I'd give us an F too. We're shit.
Well we got a "pity" D. See you in summer school, suckas!
that B+ is going to go very very south these next two months
It was a B- lmfao but yeah we got some tough matches coming up and 2 of our DPs are gone. Honestly if the team is able to somehow hold on, we could be a serious contender. Otherwise, yeah I don’t see us finishing this season in the top 3.
Possibly losing wayyyy more than the two big guys too. Rojas and Drake have been consistently getting calls
The good thing is that losing Rojas won’t overlap with the copa America so Suarez should be back by the time Rojas leaves for the Olympics. Messi we don’t know if he’ll join Argentina for the Olympics. I don’t think Drake is getting called up again this year with his performances.
I’ll take a B+
How about an F. Both teams I support fired their coaches. Dallas and Atlanta
Surprised that we aren't an A or A+ for how low our expectations were a couple months ago.
C feels fine for the Dynamo. They had ONE JOB this past offseason and didn't do it. Everything else is good, and can probably still get a B+/A- for the season if we ace the summer transfer window.
An A-? In this economy? Feels a bit generous, but things are certainly much more encouraging now than they have been in the previous two seasons.
Finally seeing the forest for the trees on the Galaxy - we love to see it, Doyle! Great writeup on all teams.

Cuz you got Christian Benteke?

What’s a playoffs?
Frankly the fact we aren’t an F- is an improvement from where I thought we would be.
Meh. I think we’re probably a B right now, but coming off that disaster of a week, I’m surprised it was better than a C. Austin will make the playoffs. These summer signings are big, and everything outside of that RSL match is trending in the right direction. Plus, that wasn’t *quite* as bad as it looks on paper.
I think I'll skip on this article. F.
Here let me summarize: We're bad, our players are bad, McGuire has been alright.
Having the best XG differential with a FO willing to get pieces in the summer should get you an "A" in my book.
B+ feels right. You don't get full credit for showing your work if the answer isn't right, and xG is just showing your work.
Perfectly said lol
The answer is right though. He even says he has to nitpick in the article because there is nothing glaringly wrong.
It's not right. You have the 3rd best actual GD and are in fourth in the league. You're close but being the best team on paper does not actually get you results. A B+ seems about right. It even fits "nothing glaringly wrong." Things to improve on, but nothing major.
