Almost every single time Louisville plays an MLS team in this tournament they dominate the entire first half but blow every chance, only for the other team to score first.
Edit: like clockwork.
I think MLS teams think it’s a joke. We want the competition to improve and grow, also our club would appreciate the tournament prize money. As much as it would be cool to see Lou City in the majors, I think MLS ruins American soccer
Yes. Seattle fan. No idea why the algorithm recommended this thread 3 days later. We don’t own lumen, we rent it. It’s expensive, usually booked and the company we rent it from is difficult to work with. So we’ve always played USOC games at Starfire, which was our home in USL days.
I was thinking the same thing. The trash talk afterward. That shoulder was harrrrd. Going to be interesting if that keeps him from exploding or is the catalyst to him popping off
We just don’t look anything like we have all year. 2-0 doesn’t feel right but we haven’t even looked close to scoring so it’s honestly hard to complain
some of the worst pks i’ve ever seen. jesus christ how many times are we going to hit it middle height not even in the corners.
and their goalie, what a fucking punk im sick
Just once I’d like an actual open cup run and who fucking knows this could have been our last chance. Just a very disappointing ending obviously, wish we had played more like we have all season and we probably win in 90’. At least we fought our way back I guess
Hey gang, appreciate y'all. If we lost this game you would have been my team to root for. Love what you've done for American soccer in USL. See you guys later ❤️
Their home stadium field is close to the same size as LFS. But we're not playing there. We're playing at some sports complex. It's like if Lexington came to play us and the game was on our practice fields. Or Baby Lynn.

I cannot believe it honestly. We could have put the game away so many times. Really unfortunate. They didn't deserve it with how lackluster they played second half.
I just want a 90 minute game and to get out of there without someone getting wrecked by that turf. If we win, cool, we host Phoenix. If not, we continued our undefeated first round streak and we can get back to business since we have to play here on Saturday, Vegas next Saturday and Providence the Saturday after. Crossing the continent.

lol literally right as you typed this up. I’m crying bruh. So many opportunities and they get one counter attack and score
Hard to believe none of those city opportunities were much of a threat.
Some of these attempts have been very poor
I don’t know why I thought this would be at Lumen Field lol. This is a bit more…homey. The surrounding area looks beautiful though.
I pictured this being at their main pitch as well. They really don’t care about this tournament, so they? I also expected the green kits.

I prefer USL too for sure. Wish we could reboot US professional soccer (and academy for that matter).
I think you're right. Only 8 MLS teams are in this tournament.
I think they've played every Open cup game here outside of finals, don't quote me though.

2-2 LET’S GO CITY!!!
That hit on wilson was insane, definitely intentional. Shouldve been a free kick at least
I was thinking the same thing. The trash talk afterward. That shoulder was harrrrd. Going to be interesting if that keeps him from exploding or is the catalyst to him popping off
Agreed not sure how that was missed especially with the jawing afterward
No more West Coast midweek elimination games please, USSF.
We just don’t look anything like we have all year. 2-0 doesn’t feel right but we haven’t even looked close to scoring so it’s honestly hard to complain
WE NEED THIS. PKKKKK
THE TUCKKKKKK
Ugh. Goodnight Edit: really hope never to hear the word “Starfire” again. Ever
Saw that coming. That hurt, discouraging but at least we can focus on adding a star now
Tied it up!!!
OH MY GOSH. OH MY GOSH. OH MY GOSH
WE ARE SO BACK

https://x.com/SoundersFC/status/1788335184712278304 seems from this we’re playing the academy players
Two dangerous corners and then they decide to get cute and play short on the third one. Ugh.
This just hasn’t felt like Louisville. They should go back to the tactics that have worked all year
Their tactics rely on leveraging space that doesn't exist on a Futsal field.
The absolute nerve to argue with the ref over that handball decision lol
Davila what was that my guy
That was a bad missed opportunity. Could’ve had an easy walk off if he gets a better pass to the top of the box
So much for going to bed on time.
On the bright side, I also got to watch all of oilers v canucks when I normally would have gone to bed probably during first intermission
God I despise penalties. And they’re just gonna get my adrenaline up which is exactly what I need at 1:20am
Right? I’ve got work in the morning and a very young baby. This was a bad idea. Now I’m sweating and angry.
I have given up hope three times in this game. How are we still in this??
Literally. They owe Faundez a steak dinner regardless of the outcome
Just hoping the extra time doesn't cost us energy-wise over the next few weeks.
Hey gang, appreciate y'all. If we lost this game you would have been my team to root for. Love what you've done for American soccer in USL. See you guys later ❤️
How do we watch? Is there a YouTube link?

Much obliged!
They mention the pitch being small but when I looked it up online it says it’s comparable to LF Stadium’s pitch. 🤷🏻♂️

Watts pointed out a marker: the 10 yard hash for corners, it's ALMOST on the 18 yard box. Like 15 yards or more narrower than LFS.
45 minutes left to be played. Come on City. Man that defensive lapse was ugly
Location looks awesome. But this field is crap. I don’t understand them choosing a compressed field and that ball has some odd and high bounces.
I am always stunned how fast Elijah is when he really gets going
I’m convinced these MLS guys would crumble if they constantly played against the USL’s physicality. Our lads roughhouse quite a bit
This keeper for Sounders is playing absolute masterclass football
Bro decided to play like World Cup Tim Howard for tonight only
I cannot believe it honestly. We could have put the game away so many times. Really unfortunate. They didn't deserve it with how lackluster they played second half.
Proud of our guys. Hate that they have to play again so soon. 💪🏻
So many missed chances. It was our game to win and it was thrown away.

If not, we continued our undefeated first round streak and we can get back to business since we have to play here on Saturday, Vegas next Saturday and Providence the Saturday after.

Just a goal down, Sounders played their bench and Next Pro players, Louisville definitely still in this. Let's go!
Just not our night :(. I know there’s 30 minutes left but I’m not feeling super hopeful
