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.

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.

Away Day: FC Cincinnati
After going to the Queen City, I had mixed emotions that I couldn’t figure out. I went in excited, emotional, and over the moon. I left confused, frustrated, yet proud of the progress of this club.

This match was a real turning point for the 3 Sparks, showing change in tactics that we had not seen before. Between mid-match tactics, a new found press, and utilization of speed, Tommy Soehn put on a tactical masterclass.

Post Match Reaction: Legion Lose 1-0 to Detroit City FC
What is the definition of insanity? On April 15th, the 3 Sparks took on Le Rouge de Detroit in Michigan. When the pain rains, it pours. The 1-0 defeat to a good Detroit team is not the worst thing in a vacuum, but we are not in a vacuum.
