Let me tell you about true luxury.

This is your classic Olsen away game where we just go into it expecting to lose and then lose.

I'm sick of the mentality of defense only away games. Birnbaum switches off in between hockey checks. Franklin is done. Halsti is yet another waste of money in a scheme he isn't built for. And seriously, that goal was eleven ball watchers and Hamid realized that holy poo poo, he really DOES have to do everyone's job.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

Really the worst thing about the Sounders game is Torres being injured. I think getting Evans out of the backline has been a good thing.

Another classic Rapids game from a classically crappy Rapids team. Play *just* well enough to not lose, don't play well enough to win, and when it counts, play terrible defense. :argh: How more games of this inept play do we have before Pablo gets fired?

I think at this point in Orlando's season, the question is not whether KC will score four goals, but whether they will score four goals before halftime. I've watched around half of Orlando's games this year, two of them in person, and the whole team just looks lost. They've conceded three or more goals in six of their last ten games, and only scored more than one goal twice over that same stretch. I think there are a couple of major culprits:
- No dangerous striker. Cyle Larin is absurdly good for a rookie, but he gets played alone up top a lot, and teams have game-planned for him at this point. Although he has the rookie scoring record, he has only scored in three of the past ten games.
- A revolving door in defense. Aurelien Collin has been a rock in the back, but the other CB was Seb Hines for a while, then it was Sean St. Ledger, now it's some Spanish guy. Left back was Brek Shea for a while, then Corey Ashe, now Luke Boden. Right back is Rafael Ramos on the rare occasions he's not serving a red-card suspension (he has, I believe, 3 reds this season). Tally Hall is a great goalkeeper but he doesn't have much to work with at this point.
- Adrian Heath. He won a couple of USL Pro championships, but being a good third-division coach doesn't mean you're a good first-division coach. All he seems to do is yowl at the referees; I don't think I can point to a single game that was impacted by his use of substitutions or his tactical acuity.

It seems awfully vague to say it could be the offense or the defense or the coach, but I think it's possible to point to tangible and noteworthy deficiencies in all three of those areas.

Wow. Orlando won a game. Too bad relatively nobody was there to see it. Also Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux were on the sidelines. I think more people cared about them then the game itself. At least until the second Orlando goal.
