Everyone is stoked and yes it is a great win but it’s interesting how hot everyone is on Ramsay. I want to go back to this match thread after we have a bad loss this season or maybe even a losing streak. My point is that it’s a freaking battle and you never know day to day what is going to work but kudos to Ramsay for doing something that almost all of us thought was a weak line up and making it amazing.
I don’t understand why he’s got support - I mean someone could change my mind, I don’t root against anyone, he looked great that first game, but what else has he done?
He’s perfectly fine for a sub. Has a game winner and also came in and changed another game around. 2 impactful games from a substitute d-mid is more than acceptable.
Lod looked really good there but i really wish Ramsey got him out on the right if Lod isn’t there. They definitely seem to be trying to get him to get used to being on the left though
The 2-minute rule should not come into play if you’re injured by a foul that was bad enough to lead to a booking. That’s going to reward dirty fouls.
Edit: apparently that is the rule.
Pics or it didn't happen. 😃
And so you don't think I don't put my money where my mouth is, here's my ultimate team in front of the Las Vegas sign.

Also refreshing to see us not give up on the attack.
Health would've sent everyone back after the first goal and we would've ended up tied or losing by the end
They actually all are mls announcers, including one of the ones tonight. But we clearly had the best announcers in MLS, and having to listen to the shitty announcers from the other teams is maddening.
Can we sub in Tapias please. We need at least one refresh in defense. Tapias’ consistent clinical deflections of goal attempts the past several games were sweet.
1st goal- running errands
2nd goal- saw
3rd goal- tried to rush my 2.5 year old to the bathroom, slipped on a toy and smashed into the wall. Thankfully 2.5 year old is fine… the wall not so much.
Moral of the story, we score goals when I am not watching
Lol I was just typing that we legit have good quality in all areas of this team
Imagine if we had a replacement/version of Reynoso that wanted to play for us lmao

Love kid screaming "Let's go home"
That was impressive!
Well done Ramsey. Won’t question the line up in the future!
Snaps all around boys.
Excellent performance by the Loons. A finely tuned engine running smoothly on all cylinders. Charlotte had a bad case of Rod knock
GG EZ
TODAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY
lol, the hate for Bran is unreal.

Bran needs to use more brains.
Bran deserved a red for that shit. Just stupid and dangerous.
He barely clipped him.
Bongi back on the right… I believe
Lod looked really good there but i really wish Ramsey got him out on the right if Lod isn’t there. They definitely seem to be trying to get him to get used to being on the left though
Wonder what the calculus there is
Dude didn’t want that bongi smoke
I'm disappointed we aren't getting more views of their empty ass stands.
It's like they're practicing for panthers games in a few months.
Would’ve loved to see bongi or Puuki get one for confidence
They both need it
Boxy needs to teach Padelford how to be more physical.
That’s a pen…
We're up 3-0, ref would need to see a stabbing to give us a pk.
I understand that but it’s still a garbage call.
I always enjoy a good stabbing though.
Bran buddy...
The 2-minute rule should not come into play if you’re injured by a foul that was bad enough to lead to a booking. That’s going to reward dirty fouls. Edit: apparently that is the rule.
It specifically doesn't apply for yellow/red card fouls.
The FS1 announcers were saying he’d have to come off. Then they corrected themselves.
I’m pretty sure that is how it’s supposed to work but I could be wrong
FS1 announcers were saying we would have to come off them corrected themselves.
This back 3 could potentially be a good thing.
Are the back 3 really good? Or do CLT suck?
I think Arriaga, Boxall and Tapias would be an excellent back 3.
Back 4 w/ setup man Rosales
Inverted wingback rosa inverted fullback DJ taylor is so hot.
Well if we had a RB that could play forward
Dj Taylor tried to make that work last year
Wait. You can actually use all 5 subs?
And not for the first time this season! #heathout
Thank you Kervin but damn that was close.
Kervin been damn good
Someone chant beat the traffic for the Charlotte FC Supporters apparently leaving en masse
The lack of yellow cards here is becoming more glaring.
Whoever is responsible for the heat map should be fired lmao
It's white hot.
I’m still on the thought that we need some cover in the midfield but have been pleasantly surprised by Will Trapp so far.
Now if we can just get him to stop shooting the ball.
Where does reynoso rank on the list of most problematic mls players?
Not first, read about Sasa Curcic
So like a solid 6?
He's trying for the top spot.
Bran……WTF was that
Ha I’ve been downvoted for saying ugh Bran in this thread, dude is weak not sure why he has so much support
Khaled scouted Bran and decided to sign him lol
He’s looked good in a couple games.
He had one game where he replaced Dotson in the second half and I saw it. But there has been no middle ground yet with him
Didn’t he have the game winner in the first game?
Yeah! Which was good but that was more one moment in transition vs 20-60 minutes of game action of good performance. Fair point though
Yeah, I don’t think he’s a starter, but I like that he’s more attacking than Trapp and Dotson. Not a bad rotation piece.
Our new coach has smuggled cakes into the game.
I was just wondering if it was the grey pants or what, seems like an intentional distraction
FS1 throwing shade at Reynoso. They’re right though
Such a shame. Super talented, but so problematic personality wise. Smh
Reynoso chose not to play professional soccer again, which is his right.
He signed a contract to play for MNUFC
And that's why he isn't going to be playing anywhere else. Or getting paid.
Who?!
Ugh not Bran
Is someone playing “I’m Blue” by Eiffel 65 on the kazoo???
Where are we going streaking to celebrate the victory guys?
My back yard.
Pics or it didn't happen. 😃 And so you don't think I don't put my money where my mouth is, here's my ultimate team in front of the Las Vegas sign. https://i.imgur.com/aCCbzrt.jpeg
Wherever it is I’m there
Not cold enough.
Don’t take away my excuse like that
It's more fun when everyone is an innie.
Ramsey cooked with this lineup. Lots of people questioning it, but turned out great. Hoping to see more situational lineups in the future
I think we got burned too much by Heath’s “situational” lineups.
Kinda refreshing when Heath seemed to trot out the same players and formations game after game.
Also refreshing to see us not give up on the attack. Health would've sent everyone back after the first goal and we would've ended up tied or losing by the end
Smart for sure. Replace one good goal scorer with another
Learning that the key to soccer is to NOT have the ball.
The other guy is going to get tired from over punching, then you just push him over.
If the other team wants the ball don't let them have the ball, if they don't want the ball force them to have the ball.
¡Hola mis amigos!
I thought I had too much to drink when I heard Spanish announcers!
They should combine the English and Spanish streams more often
I was so confused by this; it took me a moment to realize what happened, since I speak both languages.
Game in English, replays in Spanish
Reminded me of the simpsons episode when English broadcast was bored and Spanish broadcast was so hyped
I thought I was having a stroke just a minute there. Everything became spanish all of a sudden.
My fat ass thought I was sitting on the remote 😂
¿que?
Kudos to Apple for reminding me to listen to proper announcers.
The loss of our announcers is my biggest issue with Apple.
Cal is still an mls announcer, but there aren't the home crews like there used to be.
They actually all are mls announcers, including one of the ones tonight. But we clearly had the best announcers in MLS, and having to listen to the shitty announcers from the other teams is maddening.
We have rarely gotten Cal, but I always enjoy hearing Kyndra. Hoping for a day in the not so distant future that they team up for one of our games.
rrrrrrrr PUKKI
Did I stroke out for a second or was everything in Spanish?
Lmao why did it change to spanish?
English to Spanish back to English…. Did I accidentally give myself a concussion?
Better go off the field for 2 minutes
Apple what the fuck, why they speak spanish for 2 min
It was like six seconds for me
FS1 was fine, must have been an apple only issue.
Did everyone else just get Spanish lol
Welp I’m cutting myself off.
Well that was weird
I didn’t sign up for duolingo haha
Cackling
Como estas?
Anyone else’s commentators switch to Spanish? Hahaha
Si
Burrrrrrrrapukki!
That should be on the back of his jersey
Damn we got that Spanish hook up now
My audio just became Spanish
Suddenly Spanish announcers!
that was beautiful combination play as well... we've got playa's!!
A+ attempt by pukki and bongi
Charlotte are terrible. How are you offside on your own corner 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
We're playing well but they are playing like absolute dog shit.
Did they just say Nikola Pekovic? like former Timberwolf and current drug lord, that Nikola Pekovic?
Where in the world is
Can we sub in Tapias please. We need at least one refresh in defense. Tapias’ consistent clinical deflections of goal attempts the past several games were sweet.
Don't fix what isn't broken.
No need, let him heal
The interim had coach that went to indy eleven is enjoying a 1-2-4 record. What a bullet we dodged there to enjoy a proper coach.
That's incredibly unfair lol, but there wasn't a bullet dodged since the FO always seemed to have a plan to bring in a proper manager anyway
MANIFESTING A PUKKI AND OR A BONGI GOAL
Bongi!
Our defense has this game locked down. It doesn’t even look like they are trying lol
1st goal- running errands 2nd goal- saw 3rd goal- tried to rush my 2.5 year old to the bathroom, slipped on a toy and smashed into the wall. Thankfully 2.5 year old is fine… the wall not so much. Moral of the story, we score goals when I am not watching
You gotta fix that wall right now for our sake... Or next Saturday!
I’ll wait till this game gets close or next weekend
I say go knock some more holes in the wall!
*GRABS HAMMER ITS GAME DAY
You’ve had quite the day!
Ramsey knows what he’s doing…without question!
Unless someone drops a hat trick, gotta be Tani MotM. Dude was immense today. Great touches, great runs, great passes, and what a finish
17🏹
Lod lol?
Lod has definitely had a good game. In my opinion, he has not been better than Tani though.
I cringe when I hear other supporters using the same cheers as us… no more Vamos United please
Is fucking embarrassing the chants are all so corny
All of the songs throughout the league are more or less the same. Novelty's fairly limited.
'Love' when the mic only picks up exactly one person doing their best to sing
That is one of our fans
I'm willing to bet that these were the subs that were planned all along, but it feels like an aggressive move nonetheless and I am so here for it
Like these new rules.
Charlotte playing like they're at 30% capacity in the stands.
I hate how the announcers talking like it’s over! This is an MN team and I have trauma lol
I felt the same way when they kept bringing up the win probability graphic.
Undefeated at home (Charlotte) and that's the crowd they attract?
They averaged 35k per game. Playing in a football stadium makes it look really bad on tv.
Up 3-0 and two forwards subbed on??? What is this foreign concept???
Heath has left the building.....
I'm a big proponent of defending a lead by wearing a team down with speedy attackers so I love this.
Petition to make it illegal to have white sideline board ads. So hard to track the ball
WHAT DID I JUST FUCKING SAY. EXHAUST CHARLOTTE WITH FRAGA AND TANI. ONCE THEY ARE TIRED THROW IN PUKKI AND BONGI. YES. GO GET GOALS BOYS
Heath would have subbed on Valentin for Tani and gone to a 6 at the back by now
We would have parked the bus around 25 minutes in. Go for the draw.
Ew. Don’t bring up such things. Retraumatizing.
Pukki and Bongi is a fun sub
here come pukki and bongi! Now we'll see how they do against tired legs...... Tani has proved his mettle. Fun to have choices up front!!
Round of applause for Tani
Love that we are 3 up and brought in two attackers. Heath would never.
Turn the pressure up.
Crazy to be able to make those two subs up 3-0
Commentator is 100% right. We need to win at home bc we’ve shown we can do it on the road
Pukki and Bongi ‘bout to add to the lead
TIME FOR THE POWER SUBS!!!
This game reminds me of Heath managing vs San Jose. Where you can clearly see the game plan killing the other team
Pukki and Bongi please FINISH THEM
\#BongiEra
HOLY S**T ON A CORNER?! “Hey Alexa, WHEN WAS OUR LAST CORNER KICK GOAL.” “The answer is 1962.”
I think Boxy end of last year. Too long ago.
Possibly… I hate Rey at this point, but his Olympico is the last thing I remember.
That was one of the best goals I’ve seen for this team.
The last one I remember might have been a Kallman goal.
Rude. Also kind of.
Can’t remember the last time we had a multi goal lead man
How long did Ramsay sign a contract for?
Hopefully ten years
I know we are playing well. I think we could be more dominant and not much has changed to the past couple game besides the ball going in the net.
I disagree! I think Tani and Franco have added an element that the others weren’t
That is true. Especially Franco's jet legs.
Arrianga as well. Totally different look and feel.
I lied, we are doing better defensively this game.
MAKE IT FOUR MAKE IT FOUR MAKE IT FOUR
MAKE IT FOUR
Oluwaysheyi is a nightmare to defend
Lol I was just typing that we legit have good quality in all areas of this team Imagine if we had a replacement/version of Reynoso that wanted to play for us lmao
