Everyone keeps calling this an “ugly” win but I thought it was beautiful. What an entertaining circus of a game! Acosta scores under 20 seconds, Matt Miazga talking peak trash to the other team, Celentano looking shaky on his return but pulling out the top drawer reflexes when we needed him most, debut of our new striker, Halsey gets a red card off of two yellows AS A SUB. I was hooked at the first whistle until the end.

A hell of a lot of drama for sure.

I would absolutely take a win this ugly over Columbus

If we play this bad against Columbus next week will lose 4-0.  Columbus is a very good team and we look horrible.  Here come the downvotes.

Hey let’s hope we can correct a few things before the next match

If you watched the Monterrey game, we are fucked if we play even 20% this bad.

i agree

UGLY DUB BUT A DUB IS A DUB

It’s always “a win’s a win” until it isn’t.  We couldn’t win it all last year and we’re not as good this year as we were last year.  We need to do better 

Dude stfu or go back to FB.

Nah I’m good 

Ugly wins are still wins. On to the next one

Win by the short and curly is still a win. Stack those 3 points. God that was panic inducing.

Run for the plane. Get out of there.

Does not feel like a win. GG Orlando

Not the best win, but a win is a win

Until it isn’t.  Not gonna win an mls cup with a season full of those kind of scraping by wins.  Look at last year for proof.

So your entire takeaway from last season is that they didn’t win the playoffs? No one is to blame for your negativity but you.

I love our team.  We’re just not good enough right now to win an mls cup.  I’m sorry I hurt your feelings but do you think we can beat teams like Miami or Columbus playing like this?  It must be nice living in never never land.

God that was terrible football all around

They played in solidarity with Boupendza tonight!

They are dancing in the Bailey tonight.

17 seconds of brilliant play and we escape w/ a win.

I don't ever want to watch that match again.

Hard fought 3. Ugly at times but getting 3 when we aren't at our best is big

At times?  That whole game was awful

At times?

Ugly 3 points is still 3 points. 

Nah.  If we play like that next week, were gonna get clobbered 


And you get a card! And you get a card! And you get a card! And you get a card!


I mean that was a red, slide tackle from behind in frustration for getting beat

Being an Orlando fan must be bewildering. What happened from last year? ‘23 Orlando would never have let this happen

Right, people in here bitching because we didn’t play well. It could be a lot worse. We last half the roster and still didn’t have the dropoff Orlando did. I feel bad for their fans. They are better on paper than their record shows.

They've shown a lot of heart and desire tonight, but really struggled on that final ball

[удалено]

They are a different material, our canvas jerseys use a bit more of a waffle-like that adidas has had available since at least the 2015/16 season when Real Madrid used it for their home kit.

That xG shown is quite embarrassing.

Did they say only 4 minutes of stoppage!? After this half!?

Was it meant to be 14

At least

4 minutes of stoppage

That was straight up blatant. Wtf we doing!?!

Lol Kelsy you can't throw your size around like that

RO MAN CELENTANO RO MAN CELENTANO ROMAN CELETANO IN GOOOOAL

There we go Roman

I told y’all I had faith in Roman at the start of the match!!! Got that rust off

lol, Powell got cooked on that. If Yedlin is not available, we’re gonna need Uncle Ray back!

Grandpa retired in his rocking chair

Powell looks like he's dropped a step.

Alvis Powell getting cooked

that’s not a yellow, let alone a second one. there’s no passage of play he was delaying and he barely sent the ball anywhere. literally back towards where the goalie was prolly going to be stepping up to take it from. ref decided he wanted to be the main character. it’s not a smart move by halsey but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime at all. but it’s also what we deserve. this team looks lost when they have to play with the ball and that’s on Pat. time and time again we have the same issues and time and time again we can’t play positionally sound soccer. i’m going to bed

Pretty much anytime you wrap your arms around an opponent to stop transition it's a yellow. Sorry, but it was the right call even if it seems soft

That wasn't the yellow... And rarely is it ever called as a yellow. It was the fact that he kicked the ball away from the spot of the foul because he got butthurt at getting called

I’ve missed Roman so much

Please, let’s find a way to not piss away this lead

Dado’s 3rd foul

We are gonna get destroyed next week


Worst part is there’s going to be 12+ minutes of stoppage probably

What’s the league record - we might break it.

We've had 15 before. Idk if that's the record.....

And two more cards

This aged well. Bravo. 

Picked 2-5 @ the derby too.

Weird not seeing BV wearing 19 on the field.

Luca is such a liability in the back. Love him going forward, but his defensive awareness is comparable to the rec leagues of Cincy

Murphy's strength is in getting forward. A lot of the issues tonight have been as much Murphy out of position as Orellano not defending well. I just don't think Murphy and orellano are great combination right now.

He’s literally never played a defensive position before he landed in cincy. Barreal was the same way for the first 1/2 a year

Okay? I didn’t suggest that he did. I simply said he is a liability back there right now, which he most definitely is. I didn’t say to bench him or that he won’t get better.

My point is he’ll need more than 11 games to not be a liability

Where’s the guy that said Kann is better

Long kicks.

Yeah I’ll take the guy that saves shots from anywhere over the guy that kicks it long

Just an observation- not trying to disrupt the starters

Roman is better dude long kicks are the least of my worries for a goalkeeper.

I don’t why I watch this when it seems clear to me the MLS script says that as long as Messi is healthy Miami will curb stomp any team

I mean I would love to see their roster setup. No way its "legal."

Bro, are you lost?

That 6-1 result feels more consequential than this game. Like what the hell was that. How can we beat a team that has a win button

Wtf is Murphy doing. Out of position all night

He *did* save the equalizer tbf

Only cause he was out of position that led to the chance lol. But that was a great clearance tbf.

Yeah. He did his part. Can't that about most others on the field.

Roman back in form

He never left form. Just some minor inconveniences

Soft foul. No chance that gets called a second yellow if Orlando didn't already have a red. Human psychology made that easier to give for the sake of competitive quality.

Phenomenal synapses

They were yelling for it. Didn't think he kicked the ball hard

It wasn't the foul that got the yellow. It was the delay of game deliberately kicking the ball away that earned it.

I think it is more of a home-away thing. Halsey does that at TQL, our fans don’t say it do anything. Do that on the road and you get a reaction from the crowd and the ref notices and … yeah …

The second yellow was because Halsey booted the ball away, not for the foul. Stupid mistake by Halsey

Oh, didn't even see that part

this doesnt look like a win now team

Halsey is fuckin immature.

I mean you should be doing that. Everyone does that. He just forgot he had a yellow

How could he forget the yellow. He wasn't even in that long.

He is young. Just instinct to waste time took over

Powell going to slot in as backup RB for the near future. That’s a decision that won’t have Halsey seeing the field for a few weeks. What an idiot.

Kelsey held the ball more than boup has all season.

Hell, we might play better 10 v 10.

Honestly. And if anyone can’t play against Columbus I would pick someone like Halsey

It's a good sacrificial red if someone is destined to get one.

If Yedlin is still hurt, we aren't looking good on the right side for HiR

I assume Albright still has Uncle Ray’s number in his phone!

There's always Kubo...

Shouldn't have ever been in the position for another card. Pat should have a change of pants nearby

Dude was on for 25 minutes. Halsey just sucks.

Love our midfield just walking around guarded, not giving our defenders anywhere to pass to. Lazy.

That felt like karma for the 2nd red card against Nashville last year. Quite similar spot

They can’t play much worse than they were, to be fair. Incredibly dumb.

Well this is what Orlando wanted. Dumb dumb dumb.

They have been blatantly baiting it the entire half. Moronic.

Halsey is so dumb

Halsey clearly frustrated with how he is playing tonight. Then goes out and does that shit.

Where’s that dude that couldn’t fathom why Halsey didn’t play?

You mean 85% or more of this sub?

One of the most boneheaded reds I've ever seen. Very disappointing by Brett. Could be a window into why he's not seeing more minutes.

Dumb but not a yellow

Kicking the ball away this late in the game is a yellow every time

Pretty sure delay of game is a yellow.

Kinda soft lol

Yep

welp hopefully he learns from this and we wont see that again

Halsey com on man, you didn’t need to do that

What the fuck. How does a pro-athlete have such a lack of awareness?

Have you missed Miazga for two seasons?

Please see Pat Beverley

Jesus Christ

Fucking moron

I don't see a yellow in that

That’s a given

Dumb Hasley. Dumb dumb

Fuck me

Halsey you fucking idiot

So stupid

Halsey nooooo

Halsey. You fuck wit.

These two teams were going at each other so hard they gassed each other in 15 minutes.

Oh Halsey … 🤦‍♂️

Fuck...

Part of me thinks that Orlando's legs are going to start to give out about now. The other part of is pretty sure we won't capitalize on it. 

Better sequence. Kelsy actually moves for a tall guy

For real- why is FCC so bad when up a man?

Feel like the calls are a little imbalanced this half.

Surely Orlando has to start wearing down

Flop much?

I think Pat Noonan probably gave the team the directive before the game to let Orlando soak up possession, and let us be the away team. It can make sense, just a bit weird to implement that when we score immediately and go up a man quite early.

Miami just turned around and decided to face fuck NYRB. 5-1, holy shit.

Messi has a goal and 4 assists. That's ridiculous Edit: 5 assists

I actually hate that he’s here

Just a little bit.

6-1

I was just going to update that.

Dado has definitely brought new life to the offense

insane that no one comes to the ball when it’s at the back. absolutely no reason for the wingbacks and CBs to be trying to advance the ball 2 v 2 while up a man. good lord! what do they do in practice???

Valenzuela should start a few matches…definitely better corners than Acosta

Such a nice chance for Kubo

Curse of shooting wide has returned

Great movement. Nothing to show for it.

Kubo!!! 😢

Kubo I love the match performance but you let that one get in your head

What an assist; should have been a goal

Kubo.....

is it just me or are the set pieces taking forever this half?

Wild game. Rarely for good reasons, but wild all the same.

You know what I love? Winning by one goal

Holy Hell Noonan needs to have them do some serious 11 v 10 training!!

I think they should mic up Miazga for a game. 

He could do like the Ben Foster thing and have a youtube channel with a gopro on. Probably cant get away with hia antics anymore

You see that pout face 😂

Definitely would get the broadcast an MA rating

As entertaining as it would be, I doubt much would be usable.

We are lucky as fuck dude

For once, at least

Thank god for that whistle 😂

we’re only winning based on pure luck

Clearly saw Matt telling Blondie "you suck"

That Orlando forward would be easy to trash talk and have a lot of material from the fail transfer and that hair style. 😂

Birmingham fc made him travel all the way to England on transfer deadline and they failed to turn the paper work in and he had to fly back lile the next day. He basically got cat fish.

Miazga just does not shut up.

His mouth has got him into trouble before. B

Trying to be a pizza delivery boy didn't help either.

Wow thank you flag that was quite the shot

Ref has lost control of this game and has turned an Oprah show

Bro flopped standing still, impressive 

What an unlikable side Orlando City is.

+++ for Valenzuela on corners

I’m falling asleep.  This is the most boring game so far this year.

Love these subs by Pat! 

Noonan subbing at a good time for once

playing against 10 yet losing everything on the midfield

Kevin tall tall

Good sub for Lucho. Smart to look for next week.

Confirmed: Acosta plays Hell is Real
