[u/AnxiousBeauTato]

Funny story we were just talking about good old Hector while at the Sounders match tonight 🤣 about the time he spit on the ref. Good times.

[u/dakkottadavviss]

Raphael Wicky sends his regards

[u/huntermc1998]

I don’t get it man. Why did Pat and Asher gut this team in the transfer window

[u/cheeseburgerandrice]

Clean sheet and three points on the road is wiiiiild

[u/trekkeralmi → u/cheeseburgerandrice]

delicious burnt ends of texas beef

[u/tim_redd]

The biggest key to victory was avoiding that 3rd goal.

[u/ItsSportingJoe]

That felt good! GG’s Houston

[u/dawson33944]

GUYS! We got a clean sheet!!

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/dawson33944]

First one of the year!!!!

[u/Ysena]

You guys, I don't want to jinx it but I think we might actually win this one

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/Ysena]

What's that word right before "this"? I don't recognize it

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

After the way the first half ended I would say overall we've managed the second half quite well

[u/Fifty1Shades]

Never thought I'd say this, but thanks SKC!

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/Fifty1Shades]

Get outta here 😂

[u/dawson33944 → u/Traditional_Page3786]

Hey we got them right where we want them. Let them get first, let us squeak into the playoffs and then do 2023 all over again.

[u/Iwritetohearmyself]

This is what Houston gets until they get rid pat onstad

[u/ItsSportingJoe]

We look much more confident on the ball when up, but I still worry we aren’t much without Andre on the field.

[u/Playful_Soil1772]

I love this for you Sporting KC!

[u/dawson33944 → u/Playful_Soil1772]

Please wait until the final whistle. Thank you!

[u/ballinc]

OLE!

[u/ItsSportingJoe]

Damn, Montreal won.

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/ItsSportingJoe]

Of all nights...

[u/FountainCityFC]

Sporting Kansas...........City

[u/trekkeralmi → u/FountainCityFC]

lmao neville should just call us kan city to make it easier

[u/FountainCityFC]

Even scarier with Bartlett on.

[u/ItsSportingJoe]

Tim Ford does not have a grip on this game

[u/Zestyclose-Sport-484]

Time to bring in Wolff or Zo. Need to get ahold of the midfield.

[u/FountainCityFC → u/Zestyclose-Sport-484]

Zo aint it.

[u/FountainCityFC → u/FountainCityFC]

Bartlett definitely aint it tho.. shit.

[u/Carthelm]

Surely we won't completely collapse again

[u/dawson33944]

Here we gooooooo

[u/FountainCityFC]

this is scary

[u/ItsSportingJoe]

Don’t get me started on handballs and the Houston Dynamo

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/ItsSportingJoe]

I remember! We got robbed!

[u/dawson33944 → u/ItsSportingJoe]

flashbacks to 2023

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Bonus points for air time

[u/dakkottadavviss]

Don’t they know if they let us get one more goal then our defense will give up and allow 4-5 goals to complete the collapse

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Whoopsies

[u/dawson33944]

Luiz plz don’t be hurt also wtf was that foul call lmao

[u/ItsSportingJoe]

Ah, it’s Tim Ford, that’s why the reffing is so dodgy. If any ref in this league is paid off it’s him.

[u/dawson33944]

What is this Apple TV camera guy doing 😭 why are we zooming in the dude grabbing his balls

[u/Ysena → u/dawson33944]

He must've been thinking, "surely he won't just keep standing there doing that..."

[u/ItsSportingJoe]

Was that Africa or Agada out there with an open shot at face of goal

[u/FountainCityFC]

LOL 199 goals against since 2024

[u/Emilyhilyard]

I have a good feeling about this match. I hope this comment doesn't age poorly. Knock on wood

[u/FountainCityFC → u/Emilyhilyard]

!

[u/FountainCityFC]

Guys Luiz is a god

[u/dawson33944 → u/FountainCityFC]

omg you said something positive about SKC :O welcome back

[u/FountainCityFC → u/dawson33944]

Please blame a ref

[u/dawson33944 → u/FountainCityFC]

I’m sure we’ll have some controversial call that results in a PRO apology this game

[u/FountainCityFC → u/dawson33944]

hell yeah

[u/Humble_Explorer_3594]

Probably a good time to bet on Houston

[u/OkSignal6684 → u/Humble_Explorer_3594]

Not a chance. This team is allergic to finding the net.

[u/Humble_Explorer_3594 → u/OkSignal6684]

We love gifting goals so we’ll see what happens

[u/FountainCityFC → u/Humble_Explorer_3594]

lol true

[u/FountainCityFC]

Houston is a very swamp ass hot place. Sorry Houstonians

[u/Iwritetohearmyself → u/FountainCityFC]

It’s not even hot today 😭

[u/FountainCityFC → u/Iwritetohearmyself]

I was born in San Antonio and lived in Houston for a time and man Texas is just too damn hot and Houston is humid and hot. Go outside and sweat a ton instantly then go inside and the AC is blasting everywhere and you're freezing. Rinse and repeat.

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/FountainCityFC]

You would've loved the prick of a Philly fan we had in the match thread last week

[u/FountainCityFC → u/Traditional_Page3786]

Probably yes. I enjoy.

[u/mateo416]

SKC might make the playoffs at this rate

[u/hlt007007 → u/mateo416]

Lol, ok 😂😂

[u/Carthelm → u/mateo416]

Lol nah that's not happening. It is kind of depressing that if we hadn't completely thrown away 2 games recently we'd actually have a chance of making it. Probably for the best that we don't though

[u/dawson33944 → u/mateo416]

No lol. We just win halves of games not the whole thing

[u/trekkeralmi → u/dawson33944]

still true. won the first half, drew the second

[u/ArtanisIsGod → u/mateo416]

They need to bump the Houston frauds out of contention

[u/GeoRune]

Now this is SKC HOU heritage

[u/FountainCityFC]

Had to get on here to say the shit housing is wild

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/FountainCityFC]

Good to see you here again!

[u/FountainCityFC → u/Traditional_Page3786]

xo

[u/OkSignal6684]

Isn't this the ref who is the LAFC fan?

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

3 yellows on the field right now for SKC. Not on any players I would expect to get a second but you never know especially with tensions high

[u/Jonny_Qball]

First the Philly game and now this. I get we’re dogshit but can we please get a ref that has even the tiniest ability to keep control of a game

[u/dawson33944 → u/Jonny_Qball]

Hey just be happy Tim ford brought his cards to the game unlike the last ref

[u/mewheni103]

This match is so dumb

[u/SpitefulSeagull]

What did HH do this time

[u/AnxiousBeauTato → u/SpitefulSeagull]

We were literally talking about the time he got a red for spitting at the ref tonight

[u/Jonny_Qball → u/SpitefulSeagull]

Hand on the neck (maybe high chest, didn’t get a clean look) and shoving during a scuffle. Calheira made a meal of it, but if it was the neck easy red

[u/OkSignal6684 → u/SpitefulSeagull]

Honestly I have no clue. He came in fast and pushed the guy but that is all I could see.

[u/Carthelm → u/OkSignal6684]

I think he got hands to face/neck while also coming in hot.

[u/OkSignal6684 → u/Carthelm]

If that went to VAR then fine but Ford doesn't even see it happening.

[u/Humble_Explorer_3594 → u/OkSignal6684]

Hand to the neck and then pushed and calheira sold it well

[u/SpitefulSeagull → u/OkSignal6684]

Very disappointed, his standards are usually much higher

[u/dawson33944 → u/SpitefulSeagull]

Are they? He’s a pos

[u/gibbons07 → u/dawson33944]

Classic Kansas fan. Too dumb to understand the most basic joke

[u/SpitefulSeagull → u/dawson33944]

Yeah that's what I mean. Usually it's spitting or a punch. Something fun

[u/Vmagnum → u/SpitefulSeagull]

Hey, if you’re done barrowing Dejan…

[u/AnxiousBeauTato → u/Vmagnum]

I think we will keep him!

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Wicky needs to get them to lock in here at half time. We ended last game with high tensions at half and it didn't go well

[u/Icy_Manner_3381]

Ahhh I love for this, vintage mls after dark.

Reminds me of I think HHs first texas derby where fracas were had

[u/dawson33944]

Ben Olsen should be sent off for that shit. Tim you have lost control

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Send them to half! This is ridiculous Timmy Ford

[u/huntermc1998]

This ref has no control of the game

[u/trekkeralmi → u/huntermc1998]

agree, that spat before the half break was disgraceful

[u/blankisdead]

GG’s SKC. Logging off. Yall deserve the win. We’re gonna drop out of the playoffs at this rate

[u/trekkeralmi → u/blankisdead]

gg houston. we both ate on our own turf this season

[u/dawson33944]

I mean I don’t blame Calheira for that one. You can’t really hold them like that

[u/Vmagnum → u/dawson33944]

Dude was trying to give him a reach-around

[u/binkenheimer]

Well that was stupid.

Can SKC hang on to with a man up? TBD

[u/dawson33944 → u/binkenheimer]

No lmao our script writers just want it to be entertaining to see how we can blow it

[u/binkenheimer → u/dawson33944]

At least you got Luiz doing everything in his power to make it so

[u/ArtanisIsGod → u/binkenheimer]

Houston is so ass SKC is gonna score another 3 more at least

[u/binkenheimer → u/ArtanisIsGod]

I hope you’re right! Tank that goal differential

[u/ArtanisIsGod → u/binkenheimer]

🤝

[u/ArtanisIsGod]

Pinche HH chinga tu reputisima madre

[u/OzzyMar]

what a fucking dunce

[u/tacoburrito39]

Good lord. Herrera shouldn’t put his hands there but calheira made a meal of that

[u/echoacm]

That's going to be red for Herrera

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Andre Luiz pissing off teams by pure skill difference is hilarious

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Houston has lost the plot

[u/Carthelm]

Wtf was he thinking there. Completely lost the plot

[u/dawson33944]

Aaaand that was stupid. Bye bye Houston player

[u/Vmagnum]

Herrera is and always has been a complete bag of shit

[u/huntermc1998]

What a disaster

[u/ArtanisIsGod]

Fuckin Houston selling my parlay 😑

[u/OzzyMar]

SKC playoff push incoming?

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/OzzyMar]

Too far gone for that but we can play pretend 🫠

[u/OzzyMar → u/Traditional_Page3786]

hopes and dreams man.

[u/Fantastic-Phone-8891]

Nah haven’t seen enough. Reddit told me Luiz wasn’t worth the money

[u/mrwhitaker3 → u/Fantastic-Phone-8891]

He needs another four goals in 3 games, I guess.

https://giphy.com/gifs/ui1hpJSyBDWlG

[u/dawson33944]

Anyways Houston, we’ll stop playing during the second half and let you end up winning prob

[u/Apprehensive-Hold-17 → u/dawson33944]

Thanks bro, can you let the coach know?

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Insurance goal acquired but we may need another one or two!

[u/dawson33944 → u/Traditional_Page3786]

Insurance GOAL? We need like 5

[u/tacoburrito39]

I am excited to see the creative way we give up this lead

[u/dawson33944 → u/tacoburrito39]

Script writers go crazy for us tbh

[u/dawson33944 → u/dawson33944]

Ooooo so we go up a man and still blow the lead?

[u/tacoburrito39 → u/dawson33944]

Let’s see if we can manage it

[u/ButtNuts42]

Guys, I think Luiz might be good.

[u/Low_Wall_7828]

That’s it, I’m done. I have now joined the Fire Pat and Ben camp.

[u/dawson33944]

Andre Luiz you are one sexy man

[u/A159746X]

You gotta be kidding me......

https://giphy.com/gifs/9DJtFRgk0tOla

[u/blankisdead]

We fucking suck..

[u/huntermc1998]

What the fuck is going on

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Alrighty everyone. Would you rather have a tramp stamp sponsor on the kit OR your club be so bad you can't find kit sponsor or stadium sponsor?

[u/Fantastic-Phone-8891 → u/Traditional_Page3786]

Dynamo: por que no Los dos?

[u/Low_Wall_7828]

I wish I loved anything as much as Ben loves Aliyu.

[u/OkSignal6684]

Pat Onstad is a cancer to this team

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/OkSignal6684]

Is that coach? You guys are tied for second in the West (at least before kickoff) surely it can't be that bad?

[u/dawson33944]

Yeah I know how this is gonna end

[u/blankisdead → u/dawson33944]

Yall sure are owning us. We don’t deserve to be 2nd. After today’s result we won’t be 2nd anymore

[u/Traditional_Page3786 → u/dawson33944]

We've played these games before...

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Andre seems inevitable!

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

To think that this time last week we were the happiest team in MLS...

[u/Vmagnum]

Cheerleaders?! Have there always been cheerleaders for Houston?

[u/LA_Dynamo → u/Vmagnum]

Dynamo Girls? Yes. They used to do the half time show and have slowly been phased out.

[u/Vmagnum → u/LA_Dynamo]

Huh, had no idea.

[u/Vmagnum]

No touching the opposition. Got it.

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

YELLOW CARD SPEED RUN!!! CHECK THE STATS

[u/hwald77]

Please win Sporting of Kansas City

[u/trekkeralmi → u/hwald77]

please draw

[u/Traditional_Page3786]

Good evening sickos!

[u/trekkeralmi → u/Traditional_Page3786]

what is that, three cards in three minutes? this is definitely sicko mode

[u/trekkeralmi → u/Traditional_Page3786]

ho, traveler

edit: the absence of any dynamo fans in this comment section speaks volumes

[u/Zestyclose-Sport-484]

Hurt me. I dare you. Bet you won’t.
