Piojo already limbering up to stump for taking over the national team.

I don’t know if we’re all ready for how much other countries might hate Cavan and how much that might make him even more powerful.

Márquez taking over El Tri just in time for a teenage American to pop up and generate what might become generational heat and hatred is just…it’s perfect.

Kicker hauled ass to the ref for a reason. That was a ‘get lasers set up’ kick.

huh.

Been a rough 48 hours for the state of Pennsylvania

I used to love to post up my wireless cam under the uprights for kicks exactly like that because it looked damn close to being good.

Not sure if you risk it with Kerr for the third but he got you through the top of that lineup cleanly AND gave you the shutdown inning after the home run. Absolutely massive 6 outs to set the tone.

Mike Tomlinson created an entire world in Minecraft and kept finding the playoffs. Then there’s the Falcons.

Postseason closer stress is an entirely different animal. I need non Braves fans to truly understand how 2021 Postseason Will Smith might have been the most unlikely part of that run.

And now we get the Raisel Iglesias Adventure: Postseason Edition

Playoff baseball is an incredibly delightful experience. Playoff baseball with a team you care about makes you want to die from the stress.

The only that makes tense and chaotic playoff baseball better is the fact that MLB is so determined to play it at 2pm local time for one of the most active rivalries in the sport. Good job, MLB.

I had wondered if Atlanta would go with a more ‘non Atl’ name but it’s fine. Logo and color scheme are fun and different. Excited to see what they do with it. It’s flexible. I know everyone loves to dump on damn near everything but yall, they did not BOS Nation this up.

Georgia Tech just lost like 30 yards on an intentional grounding and I credit them for being trailblazers like this.

Mendoza, son what are you doing?

Fun fact: a year ago tonight, Sergi Solans played 90 minutes for UCLA in a match against Indiana. 365 days later, he's got 15 goals in all competitions in MLS and is the 6th super draft player to score double digits in his first season out of college. #RSL

Sergi on the finish to get on the scoresheet, said he's not sure what helped, perhaps his parents (who were in the building tonight) "I think the key is to just keep working...that is the key that brought me here"

Rafa talking about the defending, said if they defend with this same mentality away from home as they did tonight, they'll have every opportunity. #RSL

Rafa mentioned that he didn't feel that this team deserved to have this bad run Said before the game he told the team "We don't look back"

Rafa mentioned that it's the responsibility of the older players to support and give confidence to the kids on the team. Rafa on the back line in front of him "They did a great job, we were closing and stopping crosses"

Rafa: "We were competing, the effort was there" "Today we put together the complete performance"

Pablo summing up tonight "I can't be more proud of the effort and the quality and the commitment" That's it for Mastroeni. Rafa Cabral on the mic now.

Pablo: "What we did was control what we could" Said there will always be luck and randomness in sport and in life. "You create your own fortune" Used the way they attacked as an example, attacking and getting behind the back line and creating dangerous situations in the attacking box.

Pablo said Kobi Henry is already off to the airport and on the way to join the Trinidad and Tobago National Team. Praised his performance tonight and spoke about how grateful they were that he stayed with the club for these two games.

"I think everyone attacked it the right way" Said the team spoke after the game instead of Pablo. Was proud of the fight and the way they refused to lose their duels on the ground and in the air. "Guys were just attacking the ball the right way"

On Solans "Strikers live and die by goals" Was really impressed with his work tonight and especially praised his defensive work pressing from the front.

Pablo: "We've been through it, man" Very proud of the staff tonight and the players. Gave a lot of credit to Dom Marczuk. Called tonight "probably his best performance" "This is what's it's going to take going forward."

Pablo is at the podium after the #RSL win. Let's learn together.

FULL TIME #RSL have gotten back on the horse. Big 3-0 victory over the New England Revolution to take into the break, which is a damn sight better than going into the break on another loss. Aiden Hezarkhani and Sergi Solans get on the score sheet.

89' Morgan coming off for Shokalook, another attacker being changed up late as #RSL are closing in on proverbial victory formation.

If you're playing the home game, Sergi Solans has 11 MLS goals on the year, 15 in all competitions. Good work if you can get it for a guy who was playing college soccer a year ago.
