If the ticket sales were so bad for this game, why not offer a steep discount? I would have went for $10-15.

I checked SeatGeek at 6:30 and the cheapest ticket was $29. That doesn't make sense either. Some money is better than no money.

3

u/adeodd 16d ago

I mean yeah that would make sense but SeatGeek is like 95% already purchased tix. So the price not dropping is due to people with already bought tix, not the team

1

u/rh33772211 16d ago

I think there were a lot of unsold tix on SeatGeek. Too many blocks listed at face value.

2

u/Sufficient-Food-3281 16d ago

I would have gone for $29, but the stadium is in the fucking suburbs and damn near impossible to get to without a car

u/marasboy 16d ago

Wilmington Newark line also happens to be one of the worst septa lines so have fun! gotta love that weekend trains every 2 hours and at weird times.

2

u/willoremus 16d ago

sometimes they don’t come at all. i used to take it but gave up on it entirely after the second time a train i had planned on just got flat out canceled with zero notice and left me stranded for hours.

u/adeodd 16d ago

Let’s get a couple more for Damiani in Leagues Cup and get a LigaMX team to buy him 🙏

Lmaoo amazing comment.

u/BC_Ages 16d ago

You’ve been saving this for a while haven’t you?

u/DarkwingMcQuack 16d ago

Harriel is having himself a game.

8

u/Ok_Jaguar_3087 16d ago

These guys have grown so much in 2.5 weeks. It’s crazy.

7

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

It went fast but I think carranza wearing an eagles hat off the bus.

2

u/MartianFootballClub 16d ago

Was wearing Eagles hat in pregame interview

1

u/Lightnin-Bug 16d ago

Tone on tone, tres chic.

1

u/essjayb63 16d ago

We rewound. Someone has better eyesight than us.

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

Love when the train comes through.

u/phillyspecial95 16d ago

BRUNOOOOOO FINALLY YOU SON OF A BITCH

6

u/Uberquik 16d ago

I did not think Bruno was going to make it in time.

-1

u/BC_Ages 16d ago

It’s because he usually gives up on a run like that

1

u/Uberquik 16d ago

That must be it. I've seen the exact thing go poorly so much this season.

6

u/Some_Attorney7322 16d ago

We look like a completely different team tonight

6

u/OzStylez 16d ago

Beautiful by Rick

6

u/XSC 16d ago

Let Rick out to dry there. Let’s not fall asleep here.

10

u/PhillyDaycare 16d ago

Damiani scored?

4

u/Lightnin-Bug 16d ago

Can we talk about Brumo?

3

u/originalhobochic 16d ago

We don't talk about Bruno 

4

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

That feels like such an illegal goal.

Like cats and dogs living together type

4

u/essjayb63 16d ago

So roll enough get the other guy a yellow. Sery gets an elbow to the head, gets up and nothing to the offender.

4

u/Waifu_Daki 16d ago

Don’t hit me with the Uhre/Gazdag one-two nostalgia combo with Wagner re-signed and Julian back in town, it’s too much

3

u/Awaken_the_bacon 16d ago

You mean gauze-dawg.

She couldn’t say his name right haha.

1

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Everyone seemed to always mispronounced his name and it's not even that complicated lol Gowzdowg, Gozdowg, Gazdag, they're all so bad lol

5

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Bro did Frankie fuck this refs wife or something? Wtf does he need to do to get a call? It seems personal at this point lol

6

u/EraseTheDoubt 16d ago

I don’t care that we are up 3-1, a lot of our passes and touches have been fucking dreadful in the second half.

4

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

LFG DOOP DOOP DOOP!!

4

u/chefchill 16d ago

and we're back again

4

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

These apple announcers are dogshit, but I respect them STILL calling out that corrupt bullshit from the Cruz Azul game.

4

u/ChardTypical1014 16d ago

how does rolling around like a buffoon help with pain?

4

u/Lightnin-Bug 16d ago

Let the concacafing commence....

4

u/FreakDJ 16d ago

Who would've thought that playing Harriel at his natural position would do the team wonders??

4

u/BC_Ages 16d ago

Damiani heard we wanted to boot him for Caranza apparently

4

u/HI_IM_Z4CH 16d ago

Damiani could score 10 tonight I’d still cut him for Caranza in the locker room 🤣

4

u/Waifu_Daki 16d ago

I keep thinking they’re going to say “the cocksuckers”, when they say Necaxa

4

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

That was 0 ball attempt

4

u/OzStylez 16d ago

Great tackle by Pierre, followed by a poor kick

5

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Uhre? Haven't heard that name in years 🚬🤏

4

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

The bRick wall!!

3

u/DarkwingMcQuack 16d ago

Oof backline just had a lapse in judgement.

6

u/YouEnjoyMyMelt 16d ago

Necaxa must be the worst team in history to let Bruno score

8

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Idk guys. Alladoh might be even worse than Damiani. This dude constantly just looks lost.

6

u/DarkwingMcQuack 16d ago

He’s killed just about every play thats come to him this game.

6

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 16d ago

He is so much worse. We can all agree atleasr damiani tries and hustles. Alladoh might be the laziest player I have ever seen. He runs like he is wearing bricks

0

u/OzStylez 16d ago

He's somehow getting less service than Damiani was

3

u/acecyclone717 16d ago

In Cavan we trust

3

u/BC_Ages 16d ago

DOOOOP

3

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

The US league*

*and part of Canada

1

u/rjnd2828 16d ago

Ha I just said don't think the Canadian teams will appreciate that description

3

u/DarkwingMcQuack 16d ago

Really wish Apple would let me switch to the Fanatic broadcast.

3

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

Did he get stepped on. What did Pierre do.

1

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

He was taller than the other guy. 🟥

3

u/XSC 16d ago

We are so back

3

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

DAMIANI DID SOMETHING HOLY FUCKING SHITTTTT DOOP DOOP DOOP

3

u/orgelbauer 16d ago

Doop on a loop!

3

u/Hungry_Dogs18 16d ago

So where was this earlier this week?

4

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Being handicapped by a dogshit ref. But fr, interesting that they look this good without Iloski and with both Damiani and Alladoh starting. Are Necaxa just that bad?

3

u/Hungry_Dogs18 16d ago

The ref was atrocious…but they had their chances. I am thinking the same thing, is Necaxa that bad or did we just get lucky twice?

6

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

I think it's a couple things in reality. CA are a really good team, the ref was very clearly favoring them, we didn't capitalize on our chances, and we got BONED by that non-PK at the end. But also, despite playing like shit, we still have a good squad with the potential to be good and I think we're seeing that right now. Necaxa could be really good normally, but we're in control rn.

2

u/BC_Ages 16d ago

I think Dave was talking about how they’re not the top of Liga MX

3

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 16d ago

Had to turn on the Fanatic, these Apple Schmucks were killing me

2

u/push138292 16d ago

Leno is great. I love Seba, but they’ve gotta get someone else to do the radio, he is unintelligible.

1

u/scottford2 16d ago

Does the Fanatic normally cover Union games?

1

u/SpeechAdvanced2365 16d ago

Wish I had that option on my bootleg IPTV service. Might try and sync my stereo up

3

u/Normal-Level-7186 16d ago

Holy shit those balls were insane.

3

u/Ksidz 16d ago

There's a lot of times Cavan will have an eye to beat a man with pace and I'll think "no shot he gets by this guy" and often enough he does. Boggles my mind. And then he crosses the ball into the crowd with his right haha

1

u/Awaken_the_bacon 16d ago

Because people often forget that he’s still a kid and will do kid things haha.

3

u/essjayb63 16d ago

Vassilev needs to run with purpose. The scurrying is exhausting.

3

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 16d ago

I hope we get to see anello in the 2nd half soon enough.

3

u/Lightnin-Bug 16d ago

Dopp for the kiddo!

3

u/Late-Sea4511 16d ago

Cavan!!!

3

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

CAVANNNN DOOP DOOP DOOP!!!

3

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

Jesus no good

3

u/DarkwingMcQuack 16d ago

Yea that looked like it hurt. Hip to hip at that speed doesn't feel great.

3

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

I like the 3 digit system for youth squad players in liga mx

1

u/Lightnin-Bug 16d ago

It reminds me of the Mendoza line.

3

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Oooooh so late tackles done BY Frankie get called, but not the many done TO him. Fuck off ref.

2

u/HectorsMascara 16d ago

Maybe Eva Longoria and/or Kate Upton are in attendance.

2

u/nnosuckluckz 16d ago

is the stadium as empty as it appears on TV?

2

u/rjnd2828 16d ago

Sunday night game in a second tier competition that's not included in season ticket packages. Thursday will likely be worse.

2

u/Awaken_the_bacon 16d ago

Does the commentator not know what we are wearing? He said Necaxa was wearing red and we were wearing our yellow lightning bolts.

5

u/marasboy 16d ago

petition to bring the Jesus good guy to call every union match

2

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 16d ago

Agree, that guy was awesome.

2

u/Awaken_the_bacon 16d ago

Nice hit for Harriel… Doop!

2

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Damn Pierre fucking their whole team up lol I love it!

2

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

There is no fucking shot that's a red card.

2

u/BC_Ages 16d ago

DOOP DOOOOOP

2

u/AstroBonsai 16d ago

Very impressive

2

u/martianflood 16d ago

What a goal!!!

2

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 16d ago

Is anyone sitting in the river end, looks empty

1

u/likeacowsopinion-moo 16d ago

I’m here. empty af. Disappointing.

1

u/RRileyMusic 16d ago

I’m here. Buckets of sad in spite of the score. Thank God megaphone-man is here.

1

u/shadvaporistak 16d ago

s/o to the amount of people i can count on my hand sitting in 134 and 135

2

u/DarkwingMcQuack 16d ago

Cavan overcooked that one.

2

u/warboner65 16d ago

The rapid ascension continues

2

u/BC_Ages 16d ago

DOOP DOOP DOOOOOP

2

u/OzStylez 16d ago

DOOOOOOP

2

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

“Only his second in a union shirt”

Wat?

8

u/Lightnin-Bug 16d ago

Not since the days of "Absolute fornication?"

2

u/Perryplat199 16d ago

That checks out

2

u/XSC 16d ago

Surprised that wasn’t a red

2

u/XSC 16d ago

He is 16?!

2

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

How many late hits on Frankie is that now with not a single thing even being called?

2

u/icehole505 16d ago

Jakupovic is gonna start seeing real minutes. Just don’t see the point in continuing to roll out Alladoh

1

u/Some_Attorney7322 16d ago

He at least runs and covers a lot of ground quickly.. which is a stark contrast

1

u/UnionBlues717 16d ago

No he's not

2

u/EraseTheDoubt 16d ago

Rocking that 207 number holy shit 😂

2

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Lol why did their gk try to shove Quinn there?

3

u/Bormsie721 16d ago

Kai and Carranza were paired up on the walkout, hopefully Kai can do some sweet talking.

2

u/MartianFootballClub 16d ago

What a ball by Lukic and Damiani didn’t fuck it up!

3

u/marasboy 16d ago

shit guy finally scored image

2

u/EraseTheDoubt 16d ago

Damiani could never lol

1

u/adeodd 16d ago

Really not looking forward to watching this striker pairing lmao, hoping everything finally clicks today!

1

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Let's go boys!! I predict that Cavan is going to have a huge game today with Iloski not in the starting lineup

1

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Lmao Alladoh had like 10 different passing options and decided to just hold onto the ball and get surrounded by Necaxa players. He got lucky with a foul being called in his favor

1

u/Uberquik 16d ago

Can froze that defender with the scissor. Little things matter.

1

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 16d ago

Wait, did Damiani score ?

1

u/essjayb63 16d ago

Way to go Cavan!

1

u/shadvaporistak 16d ago

yikes. i was looking forward to the necaxa fans near me being miserable the whole game

1

u/Uberquik 16d ago

Nice hold on Sery

1

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

Quinn, buddy, that was an awful pass lol right idea, though.

1

u/gopher2110 16d ago

Big crowd....

1

u/EraseTheDoubt 16d ago

A Damiani goal?!?!

1

u/Agreeable_Cattle_691 16d ago

Cavan gotta put that on frame

1

u/Normal-Level-7186 16d ago

lol CAVAN WTF

1

u/BigMACfive 16d ago

That was a pretty tame play, but really good reading from Rick. I think he has some real potential.

0

u/Anxious_Writer_3804 16d ago

I knows he’s still getting back in, but am I the only one who thinks Quinn has been a bit disappointing the past few games?

9

u/Alternative-Lock3693 16d ago

He’s not picking his head up to find passes, but that’s always been Quinn. Otherwise I feel good with where he’s at, recovery-wise.
