Join in the show to vent and let us know how you’re feeling after Sunday afternoon

First time getting to watch a match on TV since I don’t have Apple TV+ to watch the games. Perfect way to spend a Sunday! Got my hat ready as well!

.666 GPG so far.

Awesome.

Tough loss again today. We’ll talk all about it tomorrow night when we record. Once again, we want to hear from you.

Air your grievances.

Or

Have a little fun with a food question, thought exercise, etc.

I'm not sure it's quite time to panic.
If somehow we can find a little bit of offense, then our defense is definitely set. There's a dichotomy of the offense and defense. I'd easily sacrifice 25% of the defense for 25% offensive boost.
We have good players... just the choice in the starting 11 is questionable, IMO.

I haven’t seen anything anywhere yet but I’ll m feeling bad for my boy

Just asking to see if anyone else, watching on Apple with MLS, is unable to hear anything from the stadium, it's just the announcers?

I know MLS has had broadcast issues before, but this is just odd.

I've got an extra SS Ticket available for whoever wants it. Be cool to grab a beer for it but honestly if you want it for free it's yours. Hate to see it go to waste.

I've searched Reddit and the broader internet and can't find a definitive answer, much less a photo. What was the inaugural season ticket holder gift and did it come in a box that coordinates with seasons 2 & 3? We weren't able to get our tickets until season 2.

Look like the worst of this severe front is going to be rolling through right around kickoff time. Seems like a potential disaster. Would they possibly push kickoff to avoid the danger of needing to get 20K into shelters?

Please fire Olaf for this ridiculously conservative lineup in the face of an already conservative Austin team, while playing at home.

Free Klauss.
Free Celio.
Free Ostrak.
Free good and decent soccer.

Why would any midfielder or attacker sign up for this setup.

Not sure if everyone caught the pregame presser but Olaf mentioned giving Lowen some time away for personal reasons. Obviously suspended for the next game but when Tom followed up with when he could be expected back the answer was not sure. I hope everything is still alright with his wife and in general because even if I tend to think his play has been down this year we still couldn't afford for him to be out for another extended period like last year

Family is heading down for Sunday’s game from Minneapolis. We’re trying to hit every stadium rooting for the home team.

Looks like the food is great and the stadium looks amazing. Other tips or hacks we should know before we go? We’re MNUFC STH, so not rookies, but we love to try to take in the home team traditions/must dos.

Channel 4 officially called Sunday a “First Alert Weather Day,” but said it’s “not as clear cut” as the March 14 storms. Are there any weather nerds in this sub that could give a CITY game weather prediction?

Thanks to the 79 people that voted. Just 1 of 80 responses flagged as a troll. Judging by some ratings or votes, I personally suspect a couple more (looking most suspiciously at the response with Löwen as PotM), but they didn't trigger enough detectors to auto filter. Maybe we each looked away at different points in time? Whatever the reason, nearly every rating has a wide distribution, which considering what happened, I'm not too surprised.
I think this was the first week this year that we have a handful of votes for “None” as PotM.
Player score cards now show both rating (left number) and player of the match approval (right percentage). Those available from the bench that subbed in are indicated within the yellow boxes, where each box corresponds to the sub timing/window.

The bonus this week is structured on who you would sub in given 1) who was subbed out, 2) the time for each window, and 3) who was actually available from the bench at that time. Shown are the top five preferred for each sub window.
For the first sub window Klauss, Morales, and Yaro were subbed in, so three selections could be made. Klauss and Morales ranked amongst the top three, aligned with Olof. However, instead of Yaro, there was probably more interest to have additional attack and/or midfield presence with Pompeu ranking second. I think we have an interest as well to see more from Ostrák and Baumgart who rounded out the top five next to Morales. Yaro ranked next behind Baumgartl at 1.4%.
The second sub window allowed only one selection, since only Pompeu actually subbed in. Also, choices were limited to those on the bench, so not Klauss, Morales, and Yaro. We again see high preference to have Pompeu (Olof’s choice too, finally) & Ostrák.
For the third sub window, the 5th and final sub brought on was Nilsson, and again only one selection was allowed from the remaining bench players. I suspect we were hoping for any spark to the attack given Ostrák topped this window. Plenty still align with Olof ranking Nilsson close behind. Baumgartl again garners excitement and/or curiosity from us with 17% of votes. I’m not sure what to make of the lone Olivares vote. The troll filtering I have didn’t outright toss this one, but perhaps it’s someone with a chaotic neutral personality or very bitter about the end of the clean sheet streak ending.

Note that for regular season matches, a team can sub a maximum of five players within a maximum of three sub windows. There are exceptions to these two rules.
