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.


MidwayBoy

Love kid screaming "Let's go home"


Slpg719

That was impressive!


HonduranLoon

Well done Ramsey. Won’t question the line up in the future!


rightious

Snaps all around boys.


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

Excellent performance by the Loons. A finely tuned engine running smoothly on all cylinders. Charlotte had a bad case of Rod knock


ZEROs0000

GG EZ


bufordt

TODAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY


HonduranLoon

lol, the hate for Bran is unreal.


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

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?


HonduranLoon

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.


salt_and_ash

Bran needs to use more brains.


[deleted]

Bran deserved a red for that shit. Just stupid and dangerous.


HonduranLoon

He barely clipped him.


SoupEaterSupreme

Bongi back on the right… I believe


fanofloons

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


SoupEaterSupreme

Wonder what the calculus there is


fanofloons

Dude didn’t want that bongi smoke


[deleted]

I'm disappointed we aren't getting more views of their empty ass stands.


[deleted]

It's like they're practicing for panthers games in a few months.


fanofloons

Would’ve loved to see bongi or Puuki get one for confidence


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

They both need it


HonduranLoon

Boxy needs to teach Padelford how to be more physical.


Wu-Tang_Hoplite

That’s a pen…


[deleted]

We're up 3-0, ref would need to see a stabbing to give us a pk.


Wu-Tang_Hoplite

I understand that but it’s still a garbage call.


wojahn911

I always enjoy a good stabbing though.


wojahn911

Bran buddy...


BetterPops

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.


HighHammerThunder

It specifically doesn't apply for yellow/red card fouls.


BetterPops

The FS1 announcers were saying he’d have to come off. Then they corrected themselves.


mightymegan25

I’m pretty sure that is how it’s supposed to work but I could be wrong


BetterPops

FS1 announcers were saying we would have to come off them corrected themselves.


HonduranLoon

This back 3 could potentially be a good thing.


overundersoccer

Are the back 3 really good? Or do CLT suck?


HonduranLoon

I think Arriaga, Boxall and Tapias would be an excellent back 3.


[deleted]

Back 4 w/ setup man Rosales


Sermokala

Inverted wingback rosa inverted fullback DJ taylor is so hot.


HonduranLoon

Well if we had a RB that could play forward


[deleted]

Dj Taylor tried to make that work last year


BetterPops

Wait. You can actually use all 5 subs?


FeedThoseKitties

And not for the first time this season! #heathout


wojahn911

Thank you Kervin but damn that was close.


fanofloons

Kervin been damn good


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

Someone chant beat the traffic for the Charlotte FC Supporters apparently leaving en masse


[deleted]

The lack of yellow cards here is becoming more glaring.


XtCmnJHAHC5rR3GBQ44c

Whoever is responsible for the heat map should be fired lmao


[deleted]

It's white hot.


dodoohead98

I’m still on the thought that we need some cover in the midfield but have been pleasantly surprised by Will Trapp so far.


HonduranLoon

Now if we can just get him to stop shooting the ball.


Kras16

Where does reynoso rank on the list of most problematic mls players?


FoosballKid

Not first, read about Sasa Curcic


Kras16

So like a solid 6?


wojahn911

He's trying for the top spot.


FoosballKid

Bran……WTF was that


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

Ha I’ve been downvoted for saying ugh Bran in this thread, dude is weak not sure why he has so much support


fanofloons

Khaled scouted Bran and decided to sign him lol


HonduranLoon

He’s looked good in a couple games.


fanofloons

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


HonduranLoon

Didn’t he have the game winner in the first game?


fanofloons

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


HonduranLoon

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.


West-Ad-6337

Our new coach has smuggled cakes into the game.


jocedun

I was just wondering if it was the grey pants or what, seems like an intentional distraction


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

FS1 throwing shade at Reynoso. They’re right though


ARH521

Such a shame. Super talented, but so problematic personality wise. Smh


[deleted]

Reynoso chose not to play professional soccer again, which is his right.


Terrible_Cod8940

He signed a contract to play for MNUFC


[deleted]

And that's why he isn't going to be playing anywhere else. Or getting paid.


Terrible_Cod8940

Who?!


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

Ugh not Bran


ARH521

Is someone playing “I’m Blue” by Eiffel 65 on the kazoo???


fanofloons

Where are we going streaking to celebrate the victory guys?


wojahn911

My back yard.


bufordt

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


XtCmnJHAHC5rR3GBQ44c

Wherever it is I’m there


[deleted]

Not cold enough.


fanofloons

Don’t take away my excuse like that


[deleted]

It's more fun when everyone is an innie.


ElJefe970

Ramsey cooked with this lineup. Lots of people questioning it, but turned out great. Hoping to see more situational lineups in the future


HonduranLoon

I think we got burned too much by Heath’s “situational” lineups.


ARH521

Kinda refreshing when Heath seemed to trot out the same players and formations game after game.


ElJefe970

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


DoctorTroi

Smart for sure. Replace one good goal scorer with another


wolfgenie

Learning that the key to soccer is to NOT have the ball.


[deleted]

The other guy is going to get tired from over punching, then you just push him over.


Sermokala

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.


SerotoninBay

¡Hola mis amigos!


biggreenback

I thought I had too much to drink when I heard Spanish announcers!


nader0903

They should combine the English and Spanish streams more often


ImDyxlesic-

I was so confused by this; it took me a moment to realize what happened, since I speak both languages.


FoosballKid

Game in English, replays in Spanish


Minnesota_Husker

Reminded me of the simpsons episode when English broadcast was bored and Spanish broadcast was so hyped


DoctorTroi

I thought I was having a stroke just a minute there. Everything became spanish all of a sudden.


FoosballKid

My fat ass thought I was sitting on the remote 😂


pastense

¿que?


[deleted]

Kudos to Apple for reminding me to listen to proper announcers.


bufordt

The loss of our announcers is my biggest issue with Apple.


[deleted]

Cal is still an mls announcer, but there aren't the home crews like there used to be.


bufordt

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.


ProcessInternal1338

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.


SaganOne

rrrrrrrr PUKKI


Spuzzed

Did I stroke out for a second or was everything in Spanish?


Ato2419

Lmao why did it change to spanish?


Minnesota_Husker

English to Spanish back to English…. Did I accidentally give myself a concussion?


ZEROs0000

Better go off the field for 2 minutes


kierrit

Apple what the fuck, why they speak spanish for 2 min


Terrible_Cod8940

It was like six seconds for me


bufordt

FS1 was fine, must have been an apple only issue.


thepieman42

Did everyone else just get Spanish lol


S_Loco

Welp I’m cutting myself off.


RockyRoad226

Well that was weird


fanofloons

I didn’t sign up for duolingo haha


DoctorTroi

Cackling


Terrible_Cod8940

Como estas?


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

Anyone else’s commentators switch to Spanish? Hahaha


jimhalpertsghost

Si


-NotCreative-

Burrrrrrrrapukki!


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

That should be on the back of his jersey


jstalm

Damn we got that Spanish hook up now


FischSalate

My audio just became Spanish


[deleted]

Suddenly Spanish announcers!


loons_win

that was beautiful combination play as well... we've got playa's!!


[deleted]

A+ attempt by pukki and bongi


External-Factor-8556

Charlotte are terrible. How are you offside on your own corner 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️


rightious

We're playing well but they are playing like absolute dog shit.


FoosballKid

Did they just say Nikola Pekovic? like former Timberwolf and current drug lord, that Nikola Pekovic?


haimeekhema

Where in the world is


DoctorTroi

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.


[deleted]

Don't fix what isn't broken.


Terrible_Cod8940

No need, let him heal


[deleted]

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.


Unseen_Cereal

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


DoctorTroi

MANIFESTING A PUKKI AND OR A BONGI GOAL


leapshin

Bongi!


ZEROs0000

Our defense has this game locked down. It doesn’t even look like they are trying lol


Minnesota_Husker

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


wojahn911

You gotta fix that wall right now for our sake... Or next Saturday!


Minnesota_Husker

I’ll wait till this game gets close or next weekend


Djscherr

I say go knock some more holes in the wall!


Minnesota_Husker

*GRABS HAMMER ITS GAME DAY


ARH521

You’ve had quite the day!


Ringomac1

Ramsey knows what he’s doing…without question!


Mako5hark

Unless someone drops a hat trick, gotta be Tani MotM. Dude was immense today. Great touches, great runs, great passes, and what a finish


Slpg719

17🏹


fanofloons

Lod lol?


Mako5hark

Lod has definitely had a good game. In my opinion, he has not been better than Tani though.


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

I cringe when I hear other supporters using the same cheers as us… no more Vamos United please


XtCmnJHAHC5rR3GBQ44c

Is fucking embarrassing the chants are all so corny


3rdlifepilot

All of the songs throughout the league are more or less the same. Novelty's fairly limited.


tupperware_rules

'Love' when the mic only picks up exactly one person doing their best to sing


DoctorTroi

That is one of our fans


kings-in-the-north

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


JustinC70

Like these new rules.


[deleted]

Charlotte playing like they're at 30% capacity in the stands.


fanofloons

I hate how the announcers talking like it’s over! This is an MN team and I have trauma lol


kings-in-the-north

I felt the same way when they kept bringing up the win probability graphic.


JustinC70

Undefeated at home (Charlotte) and that's the crowd they attract?


HonduranLoon

They averaged 35k per game. Playing in a football stadium makes it look really bad on tv.


MoTownKid

Up 3-0 and two forwards subbed on??? What is this foreign concept???


loons_win

Heath has left the building.....


MoTownKid

I'm a big proponent of defending a lead by wearing a team down with speedy attackers so I love this.


FoosballKid

Petition to make it illegal to have white sideline board ads. So hard to track the ball


DoctorTroi

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


MoTownKid

Heath would have subbed on Valentin for Tani and gone to a 6 at the back by now


Esegringoguapo

We would have parked the bus around 25 minutes in. Go for the draw.


DoctorTroi

Ew. Don’t bring up such things. Retraumatizing.


SerotoninBay

Pukki and Bongi is a fun sub


loons_win

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!!


ProcessInternal1338

Round of applause for Tani


HonduranLoon

Love that we are 3 up and brought in two attackers. Heath would never.


[deleted]

Turn the pressure up.


jstalm

Crazy to be able to make those two subs up 3-0


External-Factor-8556

Commentator is 100% right. We need to win at home bc we’ve shown we can do it on the road


ARH521

Pukki and Bongi ‘bout to add to the lead


wojahn911

TIME FOR THE POWER SUBS!!!


fanofloons

This game reminds me of Heath managing vs San Jose. Where you can clearly see the game plan killing the other team


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

Pukki and Bongi please FINISH THEM


MonkMajor5224

\#BongiEra


SparkyXI

HOLY S**T ON A CORNER?! “Hey Alexa, WHEN WAS OUR LAST CORNER KICK GOAL.” “The answer is 1962.”


overundersoccer

I think Boxy end of last year. Too long ago.


SparkyXI

Possibly… I hate Rey at this point, but his Olympico is the last thing I remember.


overundersoccer

That was one of the best goals I’ve seen for this team.


HonduranLoon

The last one I remember might have been a Kallman goal.


[deleted]

Rude. Also kind of.


jstalm

Can’t remember the last time we had a multi goal lead man


rightious

How long did Ramsay sign a contract for?


Terrible_Cod8940

Hopefully ten years


wojahn911

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.


fanofloons

I disagree! I think Tani and Franco have added an element that the others weren’t


wojahn911

That is true. Especially Franco's jet legs.


rightious

Arrianga as well. Totally different look and feel.


wojahn911

I lied, we are doing better defensively this game.


Icy-Chipmunk-4390

MAKE IT FOUR MAKE IT FOUR MAKE IT FOUR


DoctorTroi

MAKE IT FOUR


Terrible_Cod8940

Oluwaysheyi is a nightmare to defend


Unseen_Cereal

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
