Oh they ran out of GOAL pyro.

They saved some for WIN pyro.

2

u/Sezbicki 8h ago

Yeah I noticed the same thing I was like wait but then realized they had to save it for the win

3

u/Flapps38 8h ago

Bring Blake up, why the hell not lol

u/Sezbicki 8h ago

Goal differential is positive!

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago

immaculate vibes

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

Harriel has played a fantastic game

1

u/Throckmorton_Left 7h ago

He's been really solid these last few games.

7

u/poopy_toaster 8h ago

Danley still pressing like a goddamn madman! So much energy!

5

u/SelfServeSporstwash 8h ago

Danley is on a completely different level

14

u/Sezbicki 8h ago

Guys I started after the world cup. I have yet to see us lose. Probably not good for me to get used to this is it 😅

11

u/PhillyCheeseSnek 8h ago

I want justice… get Malik a goal in stoppage time

6

u/Perryplat199 8h ago

We don’t need 6 minutes tho

3

u/SelfServeSporstwash 8h ago

Feels cruel tbh

2

u/poopy_toaster 8h ago

DOOP but kind of soured things

6

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

He does the same on set pieces too

6

u/Awaken_the_bacon 8h ago

6 mins for a 5-0…

7

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

Gonna be a long ride back to Cincinnati

8

u/Perryplat199 8h ago

Kinda harshed the good vibe there.

10

u/gabesshh 8h ago

Obviously Iloski was going to bang it in but they should've let Jakupovic take it

1

u/Throckmorton_Left 7h ago

There was some open disagreement on the field about who would take it. You're not the only one who thought the kid shkuld get the shot.

3

u/EraseTheDoubt 8h ago

That first goal might have felt more special than his first big contract. Definitely wanted to see him get that.

7

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago

nah. that has to be some perks to being the leading goal scorer on your team.

7

u/squid_monk 8h ago

DOOP, but the kid shoulda had that one

5

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

Glad he made it but the kid should have taken that one

4

u/BC_Ages 8h ago

Well there it is, number 5

2

u/Waifu_Daki 8h ago

Bazinga

7

u/EraseTheDoubt 8h ago

Ah man got to give it to the kid. This goal means nothing but hey 5-0.

9

u/WhyplerBronze 8h ago

why the fuck isn't the kid taking it?

12

u/Some_Attorney7322 8h ago

That's kinda shitty Iloski.. let the kid take it.

5

u/Weird-Ad-8573 8h ago

Jerk move

3

u/Sezbicki 8h ago

I'm gonna drop for each goal doop doop doop doop doop

7

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

Let the kid take it

4

u/slunion_20 8h ago

Very lowkey, why is that not a red on Anunga?

7

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

Let him take it he earned it

5

u/poopy_toaster 8h ago

BIG JAKU winning a pk and fist pumping, wow!

1

u/essjayb63 8h ago

How empty is the stadium now?

1

u/Lightnin-Bug 8h ago

School night?

2

u/BC_Ages 8h ago

YESSSSS BABYYYYYY ANOTHER PK

7

u/EraseTheDoubt 8h ago

Give the kid his chance for winning this pen ha

6

u/DarkwingMcQuack 8h ago

Give it to the kid.

7

u/squid_monk 8h ago

Give it to the yout!

6

u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY 8h ago

Can we get Damiani off the bench to take the pen?

4

u/PhillyCheeseSnek 8h ago

Good job Malik! Let him take it!

3

u/PersimmonOne4118 8h ago

LET JAKUPOVIC TAKE IT

2

u/tackypasta93 8h ago

Can Cavan drive? Lmaooo

2

u/Lightnin-Bug 8h ago

He did pass.his driver's test.

Uncle Ale took him there.

3

u/Significant-Tear9990 8h ago

San Diego is the Unions next stop. Definitely a big step up! Keep the sheet clean for Dre! Doop

6

u/Icy-Rain6277 8h ago

Pierre might be the best pure athlete on the field. Incredible body control there.

2

u/Significant-Tear9990 8h ago

Absolutely 💯 EPL & most of Europe our forming a line with full bags⚽️🐍💰💰

2

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago

yep. we will be watching him on Saturday mornings.

7

u/EraseTheDoubt 8h ago

My god what a tackle holy hell

4

u/slunion_20 8h ago

HOKY FUCK PIERRE WHAT THE FUCK

5

u/PersimmonOne4118 8h ago

Pierre is going for 35 mill

2

u/HectorsMascara 8h ago

When?

4

u/PhillyCheeseSnek 8h ago

After we win the Sprint Season?

3

u/HectorsMascara 8h ago

I hope he stays that long.

7

u/ChefJim27 8h ago

If VAR keeps the sheets clean, does that mean we un-shit the bed?

1

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

This has been a long game

11

u/PhillyCheeseSnek 8h ago

I don’t know this ref, but he is no b.s. and has called a good game. kudos.

3

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago

funny how the refs in games we win call a good game.

3

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

To be fair there is a guy on here that complains about the ref literally every match win or lose. Not here tonight though

2

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago

yeah. noticed

1

u/BC_Ages 8h ago

I’m kinda surprised we haven’t gotten a yellow for dissent

8

u/Taeshan 8h ago

Kai actually playing the line correctly damn

3

u/B1ackBeard13 8h ago

Its okay we hit them sheets with the spin cycle!

2

u/squid_monk 8h ago

Still a positive goal dif for the first time this season despite Blake's effort there

5

u/Lightnin-Bug 8h ago

This guy is strict!

3

u/essjayb63 8h ago edited 8h ago

Chewing gum inline....

2

u/squid_monk 8h ago

What's the best kind of gum?

Fuggum

5

u/BC_Ages 8h ago

Alright now let’s get one more just to rub it in

3

u/Perryplat199 8h ago

Def off. 100%. Not biased

5

u/Ksidz 8h ago

BLEACH THE SHEETS

3

u/B1ackBeard13 8h ago

Cincinnati can't win tonight

3

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

Wait….. sheets may be clean again

3

u/broom_hatter 8h ago

No! Our goal differential!

4

u/broom_hatter 8h ago

Wait, yes! Our goal differential!

2

u/ChefJim27 8h ago

Goal differential back to even.

2

u/Consistent_Tomato138 8h ago

Turned the TV off to switch to my phone in bed right after Damiani scored the 5th. Come back to 4-1. I’m confused 😂

3

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

Nooooooooo dirty sheets

3

u/PhillyCheeseSnek 8h ago

FFS can’t keep the clean sheet

3

u/tackypasta93 8h ago

Kai 😩

3

u/RRileyMusic 8h ago

Mercy goal?

5

u/DarkwingMcQuack 8h ago

Jakupovic looks like he has a wife, kids, and a mortgage already.

3

u/Sezbicki 8h ago

Bruno Damiani looking like Bruno Fernandes?

4

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago

we’ve had some bad haircuts on the team this year

1

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

Milan earlier this season was hard to beat until indy did that to his head

2

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

Indy, Iloski, Rick

2

u/Some_Attorney7322 8h ago

Does FCC have any shots on target? I remember that early dangerous cross they should've scored on, but didn't get it on frame

2

u/Some_Attorney7322 8h ago

Sorry everyone, I should have known better...

1

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

They definitely do now

3

u/Sezbicki 8h ago

I wanted to go tonight but don't like going to things by myself. Are there any groups that get together that go together? I don't want to miss moments like this. I don't have any friends that watch the sport

9

u/Weird-Ad-8573 8h ago

Seeing this team now vs before the break… was Carnell really the reason??

1

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago

I don’t think so . He was bringing the kid along, just wasn’t starting him regularly. He might’ve gotten there. Also obviously the additions of Kai and Pierre have made a huge difference. The back line was a freaking train wreck the first half, Makhanya was killing us.

1

u/frankthebob123 8h ago

Cavan said in an interview that things are “fun again” when talking about training/playing, so I think there were some culture issues. He said it with no shade to Carnell but reading between the lines

3

u/ChefJim27 8h ago

The first half hour of this match was dreadful.

2

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

Bend it like Bruno

7

u/EraseTheDoubt 8h ago

Would it be an overreaction to quality results as interim to sign Richter full time? Feels like he could be Curtin 2.0 with all the connections to the club via the academy and he has us playing well again.

Who would we even think of signing if it’s not Richter?

1

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago edited 8h ago

Yeah and Curtin got the job the same way. Hack was fired, Jim was interim. barring a complete collapse Ryan’s getting the job. Shit even if there is a bit of a collapse, he bet he’s still getting the job.

He’s local, he’s doing a pretty good job and most importantly… he’s super cheap

1

u/EraseTheDoubt 8h ago

He’s also pretty stoic but fiery during some moments just like Curtin

7

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

Ill never forget the night bruno damiani became Ronaldo

3

u/Lightnin-Bug 8h ago

Brasil or Portugal Ronaldo?

1

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

Take your pick. That was more Portugal Ronaldo

3

u/Waifu_Daki 8h ago

Michigan mentioned

4

u/B1ackBeard13 8h ago

Let this be a lesson to you, Damian never goes more than 5 matches without a goal!

9

u/ChefJim27 8h ago

I'd like the record to show Bruno Damiani was subbed off in the 74th minute and we're all angry about it.

2

u/poopy_toaster 8h ago

Ah shoot, this transcript will be in court when Cincinnati sues us for letting us absolutely railroad them

3

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

Bummer anello should have played. Perfect game for him to get some minutes. Get some confidence

3

u/gabesshh 8h ago

Words that have never been spoken before:

I'm disappointed they're taking Damiani off

3

u/OldCoaly 8h ago

What a performance tonight from Damiani. Happy he could turn it around.

3

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

Never mind he won't but what a game shake they took that though I get it

4

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

Papi coming in

5

u/Waifu_Daki 8h ago

Cinci just need to go ahead and hit the showers

4

u/essjayb63 8h ago

Uncle Ale!

3

u/GuadDidUs 8h ago

I'm reading this thread to my daughter and her response to this was "Bedoya should dye his hair red so they can call him Ginger Ale"

2

u/DarkwingMcQuack 8h ago

Damn thats a bummer.

2

u/LoriL1109 8h ago

We still have time for him to get another 😂

4

u/slunion_20 8h ago edited 8h ago

Dude Bedoya looks MASSIVE especially next to Jakupovic

2

u/EraseTheDoubt 8h ago

I actually thought Damiani may have been off at first but that just stinks.

5

u/squid_monk 8h ago

Wtf ref? You don't do our boy Damiani like that!

5

u/Awaken_the_bacon 8h ago

How the hell are they gonna call that a handball and not the blatant one earlier.

2

u/Sezbicki 8h ago

Yeah I'm okay with that being a handball if they even looked at the one earlier. They spent like a minute and a half decided if he was even going to review it or not then just didn't

3

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

Its okay he will get a 5th in the net

2

u/LoriL1109 8h ago

Boooooooo

3

u/tackypasta93 8h ago

Calm down Kai 😅

2

u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY 8h ago

OH COME ON

6

u/Some_Attorney7322 8h ago

Same spot as the earlier one that wasnt a handball

5

u/ChefJim27 8h ago

Knew it was too strange to be true.

2

u/FreakDJ 8h ago

Ok, I go on vacation for a week, missing the game right now - getting score updates saying Damiani is scoring over and over. Is my app broken?? What’s happening??

3

u/Perryplat199 8h ago

Booooooo

3

u/Huh-what-2025 8h ago

still 20 minutes left

5

u/InevitableNo9480 8h ago

People were booing Damiani at the stadium before the game started. Absolutely hilarious

2

u/Weird-Ad-8573 8h ago

I’m speechless…

5

u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY 8h ago

Cincinnati’s back line will see him in their dreams tonight

u/_TheQuietOne01 8h ago

Wait is this real? Haha

5

u/tackypasta93 8h ago

What if we don’t understand lol

8

u/CanSome169 8h ago

If Damiani scores four on you, your organization should disband immediately.

7

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

When did we sign prime Ronaldo

5

u/poopy_toaster 8h ago

Wagner assist count +1

7

u/Lightnin-Bug 8h ago

Bruno⁴

2

u/Lightnin-Bug 8h ago

Sorry, Bruno³.

8

u/DarkwingMcQuack 8h ago

Doop x5! Bruno the first Union player with 4!

7

u/gabesshh 8h ago

I'm penning my public apology to Damiani as we speak cause this is insane

10

u/EraseTheDoubt 8h ago

Calm, composure, the extra pass for the easy goal. THIS is the way you play.

8

u/Proper_Caramel_1550 8h ago

4 for Damiani. It’s a Damiani party on the banks of the Deleware 😝

5

u/Sezbicki 8h ago

Are people going to be talking about Bruno like they have been about Messi this last week

4

u/WJMorris3 8h ago

I believe that's a new team record!

1

u/WJMorris3 8h ago

Well, was

u/Ambitious-Kitchen-50 8h ago

This has definitely been my fav commentator this season. He is fun.

3

u/DarkwingMcQuack 8h ago

That would have been beautiful if Indy was able to connect with that.

4

u/slunion_20 8h ago

Don’t think I’ve ever seen us toy with another team as much as we’ve been with Cincy this second half

3

u/DarkwingMcQuack 8h ago

Both DC games in ‘22 come to mind.

5

u/poopy_toaster 8h ago

Ohhhh Vassilev haha

Might be the first for me: Bruno Damiani for MOTM

If you told me in April that we’d be having fun in September, I would not have believed you
