RSL vs Minnesota: What we learned

Well, we found the rust. As we looked sharp in the beginning of our first match, this one was rusty and dull. There was nothing creative on the field tonight, and the loss of Rusnák could potentially hurt us going forward. Once he left, all creativity went with him.

Fitness & Subs

Fitness just wasn’t there tonight. It’s been a while. I get it.

But here’s the thing: we get five substitutions. Five. 5. V.

Why the hell are we subbing two players in at the 90th minute when we could be taking advantage of the opportunity to move five fresh players into the match much earlier (well, four I guess, considering Meram was a forced sub)?
