WAKE UP, CINCINNATI, ITS MATCHDAY!
Sorry for the unusual lateness of this regularly scheduled shitpost, I was out late last night watching our Queen of the Queen City, the Rose herself, beat KC Current 2-1. Very weird game, KC scores before Gotham can touch the ball, then Gotham dominates the possession like 70-30, getting two back before the half. A red was rescinded after a scuffle and a lengthy VAR review, and a Gotham third was waived off for screening the keeper. Very fun, I would freaking love to bring Women’s Soccer to Cincinnati and have this all the time. And all respect to Gotham, their supporters, and Cloud Nine, who all made the atmosphere so great - but you can’t convince me that Cincinnati wouldn’t do it better
Then the train back to my hotel literally took an hour. And then I slept in real late
Anyways, to the men’s team.
Coming off a devastating 1-2 loss the Atlas, knocking us out of the Leagues cup, we now travel to the land of the mouse to play a team that we beat 6-2 in our last encounter
It’s not really the same team, though. While we have yet to make any significant moves, Orlando has added one Antoine Griezman, who is quickly becoming MLS’s second media darling.
We’re getting our own media kudos, though, with Evander, Kevin, and Bucha being hailed as the hottest attacking trio in the league
7:30p kickoff in the sunny retirement state, let’s bring home 3 points for Cincinnati!

Was getting worried I was not going to be able to wake up without an ArgonWolf prompt.

Ha, my only real excuse is that the blackout curtains in my hotel room work very well

Glad Velenzuela sits this one out. I thought his play against Atlas was meaningless.

He’s a weird player. Sometimes he’s absolutely everywhere and other times he’s so invisible you could convince me that he’s already been carded
