Decision Day: Playoffs Are Coming Home
In a Must Win Match, the 3 Sparks Didn’t Win. They Dominated. You can talk tactics in this match all day long. I can talk about how the team completely dismantled a team who has been a bit of a Boogieman for us in the past. I can talk about how the system last night…

Legion Lose 2-1 to San Antonio FC
We’ve all seen this story before. Must win becomes a must draw becomes a demoralizing loss.

Home Playoffs or Failure
There Can Be Success in the Playoffs, but There Will Not Be Growth This article is partially about the 2-1 loss to the Oakland Roots, but it is more about how this team needs to win out. This team cannot drop a single point. Our home playoff birth has been helped by winning and results…

No Post Match Reactions ARTICLE This Week
So Sorry About the Inconvenience Hello! So, no full post match reactions article for Pittsburgh this week. I am in the middle of my edTPA writing and I cannot force myself to write anymore. Admittedly, I am a very poor academic writer, so a 9 page, single-spaced paper is really destroying my willingness to write…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA: Legion Lose to IXI 4-3
A 30′ Disasterclass leads to one of the best 60′ minutes this team has played all year long, but it means absolutely nothing. No Press, No Points, Must Win.

Legion Drain the Red Bulls 3-1
The Team Chemistry is Off the Chart Despite going down early in the second straight match, the boys come out and completely dominate the Baby Bulls of New Jersey. The one thing that stood out to me? The team chemistry is insane. On the pitch, you can hear how much the boys are talking and…

Legion Lose 2-1 to Detroit City FC
If It Ain’t Broke, Over-Tinker With It I understand rotation is needed. The team is exhausted. After going fully attacking on Saturday for an amazing win against San Diego Loyal, Legion overthought it. We only had two out-and-out strikers in the 18, and they were on the bench. One is Juan Agudelo getting a much…

Legion Lose 2-0 to FC Tulsa
Some losses hurt worse than others. This one took us back to the good old days of earlier this year when the team couldn’t score a goal. It hurt, and I’m tired of this team “learning lessons.” It’s time to make changes tactically or we can kiss those home playoff dreams goodbye.

Mid-Term Report: Legion FC
Through 18 matches, we have a great idea of who this team is, but how has this season truly gone so far? We have talent, and talent galore, but when does talent translate to domination?

Post Match Reactions: Legion Lose 3-3 to Atlanta United 2
Was That the Worst Defensive Performance in Legion History? Yeah, that was bad. I cannot think of a worse defensive performance in Legion history. Just not switched on, silly mistakes, just screw ups. What caused that? Well, you just watched the impact of not having Jake Rufe or Mikey Lopez. Guess what? We won’t have…

Post Match Reactions: Legion Lose 2-1 to Louisville City FC
Poor Decision Making Leads to Poor Results If you want my happy, bubbly post, check out my experience as a “neutral” at Lynn Family Stadium. As a Legion FC fan, there was a ton to be concerned by. The main issue is once again decision making that I just cannot figure out. Predictions Pre-season, I…

Away Day: Louisville City FC
My time in the worst kept secret in US Football has been incredible. Louisville, Kentucky is truly a gem in footy, and Lynn Family Stadium is the standard for all “lower league” stadiums. You need to go to Louisville ASAP. You won’t regret it.
