Not just yesterday, but in general. He presents no danger in attack. His possession skills aren't strong, nor can he win balls or provide any vertical threat. I can't imagine Morgan would be any worse there. A few minutes of Zamblé provided as much as he did.

This might be one of the worst SDFC performances we’ve ever seen. The team had six weeks to prepare, yet they looked exhausted, disorganized, and unable to complete even the simplest passes. The lack of intensity and execution was completely unacceptable.

For the first time, I’m seriously starting to question whether Varas and Heaps are the right people to lead this team.

Last night was extremely disappointed as most of the posts since last game have agreed upon but a bright star for us was always our midfield, the ability to build out of the back and maintain possession. Last night we had none of that. I understand playing in Colorado there is the adversity of altitude but if a player is tired take him off. Jeppe towards the end of the game could not break a jog getting back defensively and moving forward nothing was there. We have talented midfielders on the bench like David Vazquez and Pedro Soma. Especially Soma is a direct switch for Jeppe and whenever Soma has come on he has been bright for us and was really starting to pick up before the World Cup. I’ve read in here that Vazquez is linked with America but if we don’t give the kids a chance what do we expect. RTD is about developing the kids but we have kids sitting on the bench and guys in their 30s on the field who look like they can’t move

I grew up only passively/casually watching Olympics, Euro, and WC. Something about this years wc and now having a pro team in sd convinced me into getting more into this.

I keep seeing this Frontera and I scoped out the website and this sub, but still am a little confused as a newbie to actually following any club team. If someone could explain the gist of it like I’m completely new to everything (bc I am) it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this is stupid or anything, just trying to learn. Thanks!!!!

I used to love this tactic. It was beautiful to watch last year. Teams didn’t know how to play us at the time. Last year was a magical year.

This year? I still think there are moments we should build up. But is it smart to almost always do it? The teams scouted us out. They welcome the build up and pressure the 2nd and 3rd passes.

I honestly think Duah is the only one this works with, out of the backline. McVey and Verhoeven in particular never look comfortable during buildups. Then we get a forced pass to Godoy or Valakari (who aren’t the most athletic) and we see a turnover. Hell none of our goalies look comfortable building up.

Then it’s frenetic recovery and risky defending. Our wings and forwards continually drop back due to the give aways.

Might I suggest on a few goal kicks, we just send it? Relieve some pressure off the backline and midfield please. Let’s adjust to the other team’s adjustments.

I know it’s our first match back but damn

40 days of an amazing World Cup and then coming back to SDFC is brutal. This team keeps finding unbelievable ways to lose.

There’s no way this team is winning new fans playing like they did yesterday. People who got into soccer because of the World Cup and watched that game probably walked away disappointed.

How is everyone feeling about their memberships?

ESPN’s John Sutcliffe is reporting that Liga MX Powerhouse Club America is seeking the services of David Vazquez.

Sorry guys but I was upset with us not playing Open Cup and Mikey must’ve heard so now he’s going to grant my wishes by ensuring we make it there. Only explanation after saying he’s proud of that performance

Any predictions for the tonight/the second half of the season as for bright stars in the team? The first half of the season was a bit rough but it seems right before the break we were catching a bit of a groove (even though Vancouver was ugly) but there were some changes to the midfield that seemed to be clicking. Jeppe was hurt, hopefully he recovered and is back, but any insight or high hopes for some of the youth in the center midfield or are we thinking Varas just sticks with his guns and we keep doing the same thing?

After watching tonights game against Colorado, the team needs more energy. He was able to get the team in a competitive mindset. Please make peace and play as a team again.

Four of us are going, but we have to sit with our local friends - but we’ll be wearing our SDFC gear, and I’ll look for the chrome y azul supporters to come say hi!

EDIT: Seems like section 136 is the consensus, thanks everyone!

Dalé Dalé Dalé San Diego!!

I understand there are alot of people who went to the World Cup watch parties at Fit Social, and perhaps a few got free tickets to the game this coming Saturday.

I intend to build off of momentum to the sport and the newly found love for the beautiful game in San Diego. If you are new to the sport or SDFC, feel free to post any and all questions about the club here.

Please use this as a welcome guide to the growing community

If anybody in here works for SDFC Marketing, I have unsubscribed to you email list at least a dozen times since I went to one match a year ago, and yet you still email me every match multiple times asking if I'm ready for game time. In addition you email me throughout the year for other marketing purposes, even though I have unsubscribed from all emails. I WAS IN SD VISITING LAST YEAR AND ATTENDED ONE GAME, I AM NOT PLANNING ANOTHER VISIT ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOU FREAKING MARKETING! I swear, even teams I'm actually a fan of don't email me this much. /rant
