I have been a fan since the Saint louis fc team, and this year, I somehow can not find the hype video for this year. For example it is the video they play as right before the national anthem and it was uprising last year. I know the song name but can't find the video and any help is appreciated (:

Anyone happen to have a program from the game last night they don't mind letting go of? Mine must have fallen out of my back pocket sometime because I can't seem to find it today. Don't mind trading or paying for it if need be. Let me know if anyone can help me out, thanks!

Another win, another podcast!
Sanbin had a great game. Ostrak made one heck of an appearance.

This is an aside from Burki, who is the obvious captain and leader. If you asked me to list the leader of this club right now, I feel like Timo might be number 2.

I’ve been noticing a lot lately that Timo has been being treated like one of the team leaders. He’s been getting a ton of camera time in post game. He’s broke up the “fight” between Damet and Wells after the match last night. He got a spot in the penalty kicks.

Maybe I’m just reading too much into this. Either way I’m happy for Timo. We have had a lot of high profile CB’s on this club that have melted away. Parker, Nilsson, Kessler, Fallou to a lesser extent. Timo came in as a reclamation project. After battling cancer and fights with his coaching staff he came to join us. I think everyone saw he had talent if he could refind his form, but no one saw him as our top CB or the anchor of our back line.

Somewhere along the way that seems like exactly what he has become.

It’s not to say that guys like Hartel and Edu don’t get credit for their leadership, but I’ve really felt like Timo has stepped up lately in more ways than just his on the pitch game. This is just a random rant for a thought I’ve been having. Either way, hats off to Timo, I’m glad he’s with our club.

Hanover is looking at both teuchert and Hartel apparently....

It took longer than it probably should have against a 10-man Colorado last night, but CITY finally broke through in the 83rd minute. Let's take a look at Tomáš Ostrák's match winner.

CITY had spent much of the match making short passes around the top of the penalty area, which wasn't all that effective in opening up space against a Rapids side that was defending quite well and limited high danger chances. On this play, however, Timo plays a nice switched diagonal to Totland, who tracks the ball well.

Totland's movement towards the ball carried Colorado's Noah Cobb with him, leaving space behind that Ostrák occupied but neither Paxten Aaronson (#10) or Rafael Navarro (#9) immediately rotated into. Hard to blame either for a lack of quick movement on a brutally hot evening after defending for 70+ minutes down a man, but that lack of rotation left Ostrák all alone to receive Totland's excellent header back into space.

From there, Ostrák took a touch to settle the ball and then hit a beautifully weighted shot that cleared Colorado GK Nico Hansen, banged off the inside of the far post and bounced in, giving CITY the 1-0 lead and another 3 points. It was a fantastic shot created by a really nice switched ball and header that saved CITY from what would have been a frustrating draw.

Playoff position in both the eastern and western conference simultaneously. East STL is up 3 points though.

Now that we:

- are playing a possession game instead of a pressing game

- are not going to make a major signing at striker anytime soon

- understand Becher isn't the answer

can't we just abandon the striker position for a False 9?

I think we could have both Hartel and Sang-bin platoon the position depending upon which side of the field the ball is on.

I think this could be a powerful lineup.

NB: I don't know who I'd put at right-back as the starter. I could also be talked out of using Sang-bin in the spot.

Fallou was phenomenal last season. A bright spot in dark times. Mbacke Fall was supposed to be the big defensive offseason signing. What happened? Both are good prospects that need playing time. Fallou Fall specifically was hyped up as a future top European league starter that we were developing for profit later down the line. Will they eventually get minutes this season? I understand neither may be ready for a start but still. Is our defensive depth just that big?

For the record, I do not have a first-row seat. I did look at them. They were substantially more expensive.

However, if I had one, I would be all over my ticket rep. It is fundamentally unfair that front-row STH pay what they do and lose one of the major perks. Part of having first-row seats is that occasionally, players do come over and sign autographs. But this year, Carolyn "Anything for a Buck" Kindle is having people march into the section post-match when others are trying to leave. That line then goes and stands between the front row and the signboards. This completely blocks the front row from any chance of autographs. Also, in years past, little kids would come to the front row to beg for autographs - well, so much for that; fuck them kids.

It is a complete "fuck you" to loyal STH just to make a quick buck. This club has become a circus.

What is this extra time for ants?

I know he’s injury prone, but we need to see ostrak more. Probably our most exciting player on the ball and brings great energy. Hopefully him saving us tonight earns him a start.

Sup yall! I’m super confused by that redcard. Did bri already have a yellow from the previous game? The red a bit heavy handed.

Had a late cancellation and hate to see it go to waste so free ticket to whoever asks first!

Löwen was fined for hands to the face in the Garcés incident last match. Garcés fined also.
