Two games AND two wins?! Remember just 17 days ago, when I spent thousands of words dissecting what was arguably the worst watch in STL CITY’s short existence? There’s one tried-and-true statement that applies to all things, everywhere, all the time: Winning fixes everything. But before
“STL died on the cross this weekend—60 crosses, 1 goal. A martyr to inefficiency.” “STL hit 60 crosses… and still couldn’t resurrect their attack.” STL’s weekend: all cross, no salvation. Think some of those are pretty good. Hello. If you sensed frustration, congratulations — your tactical si... Read
St. Louis CITY has spent the hottest part of summer doing two things: 1) literally making it the dog days of summer—hello, good boy Petey—and 2) being bad at soccer again, as usual. We’ve followed nearly the same format for two straight years now: discussing team selection
That’s me, the nerd. For the 7th time in 25 MLS games, CITY overperformed their xG. That’s good, while also being bad. Class, open your books to page 44, and let’s begin. #MLSMondays #STLvNSH Team Selection: There are currently two questions for me in this team selection.

Sometimes, I have to remind myself that all those #MLSMondays ago, the theme of my breakdowns was learning. What did we learn from the team selection? Which player fits which role, which player definitely doesn’t fit that role, and what could have been done more optimally from our perspective?
Happy Belated Father’s Day, and happy belated #MLSMondays to all those #AllForCITY Dads out there. #AllForCITY managed to snag a point from the jaws of defeat on Saturday. CITY lost the xG battle to MLS’s worst team, and it could’ve/should’ve been worse. Klauss netted CITY’
