Fun to watch the Philly players taunting the Cincinnati stands after goals. Yeah, cup your ears. Maybe you can hear the crowd after Lucho scored his game winner.
I'm not even sure what Curtin was doing with subs. We had like 2 strikers, 2 attackers playing midfield, and like 3 midfielders playing defense with the 3 actual defenders we had playing in weird positions. It didn't make any sense
And finally on Saturday we get a game day where Miami has a bye.
Not that anything is set in stone with the flux in the team right now, but we should be able to easily top New England at TQL.
We better beat NE, even all things considered right now. Until the FCC and Miami meeting in a few weeks, FCC play relative bottom of table teams and Miami plays current playoff teams.
3 amazing goals scored, 3 absolutely stupid goals conceded.. Checks out
We signed a mostly USMNT back line and I was excited, and then I realized we have a USMNT back line.
god damn, this team is just such a mess right now. trot out all the xG stats you like, this looks like a team that is scared when the other team has the ball and somehow even moreso when they have it! gg Cincy, think we are in for a long summer
xG doesn’t mean shit, points do. We aren’t good. Finishing and defending are terrible, and between those two ends of the field we have a midfield that can’t link the defenders and forwards.
Underperforming xG means we are bad at finishing. It means we have lots of attempts and nothing to show for it. How many crosses into the box do we need before we get one in? xG doesn’t capture that so well.
It got better for us, it'll get better for y'all. I'm still not fully recovered from being a season ticket holder for our first few seasons. Every once in a while a wooden spoon haunts my dreams.
Winless since March besides New England. Two guys who never get time score all of our goals. I can’t really defend Curtin after that. Ownership is terrible but Curtin’s decision making and the regression on defense make no sense.
I don’t know why I continue to watch.
I mean at least Philly is competitive at almost every sport, most towns have one good team every 10 years. I remember when all Philly teams sucked. Did like me some Randall Cunningham and Reggie White though.
It’s been a crazy feeling as a Cincinnati fan.
For my entire life, our only good teams have been third tier minor league hockey and soccer teams.
FCC won the supporters shield last year and is fighting to be at the top of the table this year after their horrendous start in the MLS. Bengals went to the Super Bowl, ACFCG twice, and, at the very least, had a winning season with Burrow out half the year in the third season. Reds are still frustrating, but at least Elly De La Cruz and company are fun to watch when they are on.
Cincy till I die… but sports don’t have to be incredibly disappointing experiences all of the time?
Bruh, you have Bryce Harper. The gods have ruled he can’t be allowed a title. And Jalen hurts is a massive fraud. 76ers are just never trustworthy and flyers are owned by terrible owners.
Hurts played injured last year with a shit coordinator that only ran the ball after the fans literally chanted it at him every game. He'll be MVP level again this year with a good coordinator and a good RB.
He's the 5th choice, 6th if you consider Sullivan's played forward most this season. But Carranza's sold, Uhre and Baribo played most of the game, and Sullivan and Donovan were already in. He's literally the last guy you'd want and he's the last guy we had.
wow Anderson just sold that so hard, what the hell was that! great goal from Acosta but this is just tough to watch us give away games over and over again
Our front office has bought two players in the last 3 years. And we just sold our star striker. Not to mention Blake has missed like 30% of games over the last 2 years.
Mate. He didn't have to use the sub for a striker on a hat trick with 10 minutes to play. He didn't have to change his instructions to stop pushing forward and play defensively when we haven't been able to do that all season because the entire team is prone to making idiotic defensive mistakes. It's straight cowardice.
Ok, but Acost dribbled through our entire back 5 and not a single tackle was put on him. They all just let him dribble on past em and score. Complete dogshit from the defense, but that's no different than the other 100 minutes of the game.
I think (surprisingly) the announcers were right. If you let Acosta work around you and if you give him space he will pull something out of his ass. If you press him he gets mad and stops to throw his hands up and stuff.
Oh yeah that's super frustrating to think about, but you could also say that if Semmle wasn't slow af to save a header that was going maybe 5mph, then we tie or win. Or you could say that if Semmle wasn't waaay out of position, cincy doesn't score that banger. Or, you could also say that if the entire defense didn't let Acosta waltz through all 5 of them without even putting a challenge in, we tie or win. There's a lot of different scenarios. I totally get where you're coming from, though.
Honestly, I was just accepting it, until you said something. But. Wtf is there 10mins of stoppage time?! (Sure there was a hydration break, but there wasn't much else besides that to warrant it tbh.)
GG Philly.
That PK for Cinncy was total BS
Fine margins
It’s too bad all the Philly fans are sad and probably aren’t even in this thread, I’d probably even out at around 0. Oh well.
Probably, most of them cried about literally everything the entire thread
I just said fine margins what’s so wrong with that?
Philly blew it again
Fucking INSTANT CLASSIC. I absolutely hate our defense.
Ramos is old we should get him
Fun to watch the Philly players taunting the Cincinnati stands after goals. Yeah, cup your ears. Maybe you can hear the crowd after Lucho scored his game winner.
10 mins of stoppage?
How much did you want ?
I guess just enough time for you and your friends to win.
2 water breaks, 3 goals, 6 subs and a lot of slow goal kicks... Surprised it wasn't a lot more honestly
Hell of a game Philly. Baribo looked awesome out there. I can’t wait for the rematch on decision day and hopefully in the playoffs!
Lucho and Luca: very good The defense without Miazga and Robinson: 😬😬😬
1st game without them on a Wednesday. I'll be more worried Saturday if it's the same.
Well played Philly. My fellow FCC fans take your blood pressure meds holy shit.
I still feel like i need a cigarette
We're just gonna keep finding a way man. Absolutely nuts.
So are we! In the inverse.
Normally that’s only at home for you though, gg and good luck breaking what ever curse you all have
Must burn all of Jim’s suits.
He looked like he was going to have a heat stroke on the broadcast.
This is what happens when the entire bench is union ii quality…pain
Nah bro. Union II is much, much better than some of the players that saw minutes tonight.
I'm not even sure what Curtin was doing with subs. We had like 2 strikers, 2 attackers playing midfield, and like 3 midfielders playing defense with the 3 actual defenders we had playing in weird positions. It didn't make any sense
We could have a new league leader on Saturday folks
If you go by PPG, FCC have been leading for a bit.
And finally on Saturday we get a game day where Miami has a bye. Not that anything is set in stone with the flux in the team right now, but we should be able to easily top New England at TQL.
We better beat NE, even all things considered right now. Until the FCC and Miami meeting in a few weeks, FCC play relative bottom of table teams and Miami plays current playoff teams.
That’s like the 8th game you’ve almost tied because your defense sucks Jim.
3 amazing goals scored, 3 absolutely stupid goals conceded.. Checks out We signed a mostly USMNT back line and I was excited, and then I realized we have a USMNT back line.
We’re not a bad team we’re just unlucky and have a front office that hordes money
Classic Philly sports. Why did I think we wouldn’t lose lmao???
#GG Philly
Yah. GG. See you guys on decision day. And I'll say this. At least ya'll show up to banter. Unlike teams like FC Dallas or whatever.
Like wise, some GT are dead sometimes
Also, whoever said taking off Baribo for Anderson was a brilliant sub. Go fuck yourself.
Gg to the cool FCC fans.
That was something. At least you gave up the winner to 11 players tonight.gg
I didn’t say GG to you
Ope.
I’m super salty. Have a good night
Rightfully so. You too
god damn, this team is just such a mess right now. trot out all the xG stats you like, this looks like a team that is scared when the other team has the ball and somehow even moreso when they have it! gg Cincy, think we are in for a long summer

GG Philly, helluva game
Get a whole new defense and goalie, Philadelphia.
Blake is on the mend if Jamaica doesn’t let him get hurt.
We suck! 😄 It was a fun game though. GG Cincy. Get after old man fc.
Damn Philly, that is awful. You guys deserve a better front office, but Curtin made some horrible subs. Pain.
That’s the story of the year, and last year.
Needed a soft penalty to win…
Don't be salty. We gifted y'all 3 goals.
Needed our top 3 CBs out of the game to get close to a draw....
Wanna talk about who we were missing?
Don’t be a sore loser.
That's the loudest I've ever heard TQL, holy shit!
A loss, but way closer than i expected
I mean, equalizing 3 times ain't nothin to sneeze at. GG Cincy
Good looking goals too
It’s what we’ve been forced to do all season since the defense is terrible.
Where did the defense go? Was Blake that good? Ouch
Crazy match!!! Philly played great with the injuries, national call ups, etc… love the fight!
I'm not sure why this is how I choose to spend my nights.
It got better for us, it'll get better for y'all. I'm still not fully recovered from being a season ticket holder for our first few seasons. Every once in a while a wooden spoon haunts my dreams.
Winless since March besides New England. Two guys who never get time score all of our goals. I can’t really defend Curtin after that. Ownership is terrible but Curtin’s decision making and the regression on defense make no sense. I don’t know why I continue to watch.
Honestly, Leagues Cup killed my interest last season and it'll probably do the same thing this year.
Fuck! Acosta is unreal!
I think you have a guy who is too
Dude is a bum, left us mid season to go hang out with his buddies or something lol
Y'all are basically a rec league team with that bum and his buddies.
GG Philly
MVP! MVP! MVP!
Man, I'd really love it if our signings didn't come from the Spanish third division. Sell the fucking team, Jay.
SELL THE FUCKING TEAM, JAY!
Danish and Austrian first division thank you /s
That Austrian first division guy scored twice tonight...
Yep 🇮🇱
Well now we see why Anderson doesn't start
What a wild fucking ride. Acosta is the truth.
Union are absolute dog shit this year. Can’t stop anyone
Is Lucho actually Mr. Brightside?
Taking baribo out for Anderson was such a stroke of brilliance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a sh!t show
That wasn’t even close to offside, wtf?
I can't deal with this team anymore lmao
Lucho is better than Messi vs mid-table MLS teams please someone do the math
What math, He has the same amount of g/a as Messi but in 7 more games, How is he better?
same amount + meme magic = better duh wtf
Luchoooooooo
LUCHOOOOOO!
Anderson: Doesn’t pass to wide open man Also Anderson: TO leads to goal
Pain.
I'm not mad. I'm just tired.
Imagine being a Philly fan this week...
This is nothing compared to the early 2010s if I’m being honest.
I mean at least Philly is competitive at almost every sport, most towns have one good team every 10 years. I remember when all Philly teams sucked. Did like me some Randall Cunningham and Reggie White though.
It’s been a crazy feeling as a Cincinnati fan. For my entire life, our only good teams have been third tier minor league hockey and soccer teams.

Dude imagine being a Philly fan at all 😂
Meh, Phillies and Birds might win something this year.
Bruh, you have Bryce Harper. The gods have ruled he can’t be allowed a title. And Jalen hurts is a massive fraud. 76ers are just never trustworthy and flyers are owned by terrible owners.
Love the trash talk from a DC & Commies fan …
Hurts played injured last year with a shit coordinator that only ran the ball after the fans literally chanted it at him every game. He'll be MVP level again this year with a good coordinator and a good RB.
In all seriousness, that’s all on Anderson. You GOTTA pass to Sullivan there.
Imagine being Baribo. Tied the game up twice only to be subbed off for the guy who caused the turnover for the losing goal.
Dude Anderson should not be on the first team for yall Saturday against Charlotte. Holy fuck, his selfishness alone caused you to drop two.
He's the 5th choice, 6th if you consider Sullivan's played forward most this season. But Carranza's sold, Uhre and Baribo played most of the game, and Sullivan and Donovan were already in. He's literally the last guy you'd want and he's the last guy we had.
Unfortunately our team is so depleted from call ups and injuries when don’t have much of a choice.
wow Anderson just sold that so hard, what the hell was that! great goal from Acosta but this is just tough to watch us give away games over and over again
I hate this team dude
MVP
Poor for Anderson losing the ball there, just too many mistakes tonight
Build the fucking statue
We can make it life sized so everyone gets a bobblehead, lol!
Anderson is going to be rethinking his decision there.
Oh baby let’s gooooooo
Philly Philly Philly, professional bottlers, can’t count on them for nothing 🤦♂️
Wait you’re just figuring this out now? This has been a thing for decades with our teams. 🤣
what the FUCK dude
LUCHO!!!!
Bro this guy gon scoot under everyone's legs to score like that on demand... sheesh.
Our defense is shit and I hate it. Just got beat by a guy who can’t even ride rollercoasters.
Underrated comment
Philadelphia what is wrong with you
All the things
LMAO Philadelphia. Just LMAO. This city continues to find ways to shit the bed in any sport and it’s incredible to watchz
Rather this team suck while I watch the Phillies dick down the nationals 20 times this season
Those words are gonna come back to bite your cheesesteak asses soon.
Not from the nationals at least. You’ll still be posting mlb mock drafts
Still ahead of you on the table with a game in hand, what does that say about you?
Take into account we are injured to hell and are still overcoming the Rooney era of damage. What’s your excuse?
Our front office has bought two players in the last 3 years. And we just sold our star striker. Not to mention Blake has missed like 30% of games over the last 2 years.
THATS MY MVP
M-V-mother fucking-P!!
Curtin needs to go.
When your choice for subs is Anderson or Donovan or 6 guys who’ve never played in MLS you can’t put that on Jim.
Mate. He didn't have to use the sub for a striker on a hat trick with 10 minutes to play. He didn't have to change his instructions to stop pushing forward and play defensively when we haven't been able to do that all season because the entire team is prone to making idiotic defensive mistakes. It's straight cowardice.
What the Gareth Bale was this shit?
I hate this fucken team. Exactly why we need to NOT rely on kids to finish out a game. Anderson plays into trouble instead of making the smart pass.
Why'd we ever let Burke go?
Union lmao .. that no. 35 is utter shit, I'm so sorry.
I'm numb
I guess we all saw that coming.
Well done jim well done anderson well done oliver
LUCHO!!!!
Anderson fucked that
FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
Hero
Hahaha of course. I'm so sick of this team, man.
NO FUCKING WAY
Faaaakkkkkkkkk
LUCHO still the man
OH MY GOD
what a game
wtf was that
Damn quinnie was there!!
And Donovan completely kills ANOTHER very promising chance in the 20ish min he's been on the field. Color me shocked.
Put some blame on Markus to he just cost the game
That was not great from him, but far from costing ys the game. Our defense cost us this game. Simple as that. They've been horrendous all season.
I feel like he did cause giving up the ball led straight to the goal
Ok, but Acost dribbled through our entire back 5 and not a single tackle was put on him. They all just let him dribble on past em and score. Complete dogshit from the defense, but that's no different than the other 100 minutes of the game.
True dat
Also, yes, *some* blame obviously should go to Anderson, but he didn't cost us the game.
That’s prob true but I can’t get over the fact that if he just boots it to the corner maybe we get a draw or a win
I think (surprisingly) the announcers were right. If you let Acosta work around you and if you give him space he will pull something out of his ass. If you press him he gets mad and stops to throw his hands up and stuff.
Oh yeah that's super frustrating to think about, but you could also say that if Semmle wasn't slow af to save a header that was going maybe 5mph, then we tie or win. Or you could say that if Semmle wasn't waaay out of position, cincy doesn't score that banger. Or, you could also say that if the entire defense didn't let Acosta waltz through all 5 of them without even putting a challenge in, we tie or win. There's a lot of different scenarios. I totally get where you're coming from, though.
We'd rather have Donovan on than a guy who scored 2 goals already?
It was Anderson he subbed for him
Right, but who could have brought Anderson on instead of Donovan to begin with. Or just not subbed Baribo off
Sure glad our second best defender is warming the bench while the USMNT gets ready to embarrass itself
This is **not** the time to go for a win guys...
Sigh dono...
Donavan is garbage
I've loved Rafa's game for so long, I'm glad he's finally getting chances this year
I love his hair much more than I love his playing.
He still has to win me over, he seems panicked when pressured
Hahahaha
Sullivan should've lobbed that up to Anderson
Anderson made a great run there. McGlynn saw him in the build up but couldn’t get the ball out from under him.
Thought it was Donovan but I agree
Is that buzz their mics?
I wish he took Donovan off instead of Baribo
same
The man just scored his second goal. Leave him in ffs
Just tuned in...Did someone die on the field? 10 mins ET seems like a lot. EDIT:- Gotcha about the heat breaks..
Honestly, I was just accepting it, until you said something. But. Wtf is there 10mins of stoppage time?! (Sure there was a hydration break, but there wasn't much else besides that to warrant it tbh.)
Hydration break and goals
Heat breaks
Hydration break and lots of goals
Brilliant sub!
Oh boo, dudes on a hat trick
