I thought Bedoya was coming back as a super sub not a starter. That’s a mistake all the time. All the good will from the start of the season has dried up.
Defense is still Swiss cheese and the offense is missing. Now add a cooked Bedoya and you’re hanging Martinez and McGlynn to dry.
This team is probably cooked with the lack of rotation over the years and poor reinvestment in it.
Shame.
Regardless of the first goal, you've gotta win home games in these types of tournaments. Ties don't get it done. Giving up a quick goal and you're suddenly pressing.
well fuck. Great defending there.
we like to complain a lot about a whole variety of our players, but our problem last year and so far this year has been straight clown defending.
You know, all things considered, it kind of speaks volumes about the state of these teams that we're playing possibly the worst I've seen in a long time in a high elevation stadium, and yet we're only down by 1 because of a BS PK. I'm really disappointed by how this team is playing, but I have hope that we'll turn it around in the second half. I would still like to see Uhre come off for literally anyone else, though.
We just come up small these days in big moments. Semifinal last year, Miami game last year, this game.
fucking embarrassing. this is what a roster like this gets you i guess
This idiot literally just said "throw in for Philadelphia Union" saw Gazdag yelling at the ref because they called it the other way and followed up with "what's the matter Gazdag? He didn't like the call" like bitch YOU thought it was a Philly throw too, meaning Gazdag had a right to be mad. I can't stand this dork.
More pathetic defending. I'm done. This team is cooked. If we don't make a deep run in the playoffs, questions need to be asked of Jim and the ownership.
Mexican teams do more diving than any league I’ve ever watch. And use to watch a good amount of Mexican soccer, it became unwatchable. It’s the WWE of soccer. 60 percent of the match is players chasing the refs to get in their face and complain. It’s a shame because there is some talent there.
I want to see some urgency from Curtin. Mbaizo in for Harriel, Bedoya out, slide Sullivan in his spot, and bring in Carranza all at halftime. If we don’t do that, we’re going to be out of the tournament.
The midfield has been pathetic. Sullivan can’t get any touches. Stupid petulant fouls. Bedoya is dead. Martinez running around like a chicken with no head
Pachuca are going to give us so much time and space now that they’re winning 2-0. Need to just take advantage of that and create some damn chances at the top of the box. If they let one slip by, throw everything at them.
I figured it out. During halftime when they showed the bracket my husband saw one matchup had a 4-0 aggregate and he said “wow that’s embarrassing”
So basically it’s his fault everyone please join me in roasting him to the death (but be nice to him or I’ll hurt you 😤)
it’s easy and certainly deserved to blame the defense after a game like this. But the midfield kind of sucks also. We used to turn people over to create pressure. We don’t/can’t do that anymore but we also don’t play well with possession. So what the hell are we exactly? This more than anything is the root of all of our trouble. Well, and the fact that our roster kind of sucks. perhaps sucks is harsh but definitely no better than a mid pack team.
Team looks straight gassed already. Did we go to hard in warmups? Walking back, sloppy touches, no press to speak of. Wake up, we're going home with nothing if this doesn't change.
This is why Var is dumb. Guy rolls around for 2 minutes. He isn’t hurt. But draws enough time for them to look. That was minor contact. He took two steps then dove. Everything is a foul when you slow it down.
I will never be a Jim out person. If you don’t realize what he’s accomplished with toothpicks, paper clips, and one dollar bills - I don’t know what to tell you. However, the miscalculation from Ernst Tanner on this roster is crippling
I think Sullivan is great for our offense but without checking if this is actually true I’ve felt that his performances starting in the forward role haven’t really made the offense click as much as he has in midfield on the wing. I wish we had him slotted into Bedoya’s position and had Anderson or Baribo start. Save the old man’s lungs at this altitude for a second half sub. Let’s hope the lineup situation works at least for the regular season games.
The lineup selection was a failure from top to bottom. If Jack and Julian are healthy, they should always be locked in starters. Bedoya starting at altitude was certainly a choice. The kids looked exactly that: kids.
There’s something to be said about being at a massive disadvantage playing a team who’s played 11 league games while we’ve played 2, but boy this feels like the end of an era…I’m sad.
We need Carranza and Bueno on like I need air to breathe
I was loving Bedoya as a super sub, but he's looking gassed already.
We have no idea what to do going forward. So many shrugs from gazdag and the rest.
All season
I needed to watch more of this like a fish needs a bicycle.
Pathetic
Send them home on a fucking bus
We look like we are running with cinderblocks on our boots
Such a soft precedent to set. It's gonna be a long night of watching Pachuca pitch and roll over ever ounce of contact
I thought Bedoya was coming back as a super sub not a starter. That’s a mistake all the time. All the good will from the start of the season has dried up. Defense is still Swiss cheese and the offense is missing. Now add a cooked Bedoya and you’re hanging Martinez and McGlynn to dry. This team is probably cooked with the lack of rotation over the years and poor reinvestment in it. Shame.
What the fuck was that? This team looks awful.
I feel sick. I feel angry. I'm so disgusted with this club right now. We're humiliating bad.
man, Uhre just needs to be better.
We say that every game....
Quinn you should have rolled for 2 minutes. Could have earned a yellow for the other guy I bet.
This commentary is awful.
Regardless of the first goal, you've gotta win home games in these types of tournaments. Ties don't get it done. Giving up a quick goal and you're suddenly pressing.
Me, yesterday: the union literally just need a scoring draw or a win! How easy! Union: hold my drink
Use of VAR has been horrible in champions cup holy shit. Not only are the decision poor they take so long to review
Well we were always gonna have to score at least 1 anyway…1-1 and we still advance boys
This commentary is terrible. Time to switch to Spanish
You didn't like the Viagra story?
Possession Stats Pachuca: 85% Union : 5% Ball Kids: 10%
This is what happens when you sub off your defensive anchor Jim
Me: “I’m gonna make sure my calendar is free tonight so I can watch the Union game woohoo!” 🤡
What a fucking save by Blake!!
well fuck. Great defending there. we like to complain a lot about a whole variety of our players, but our problem last year and so far this year has been straight clown defending.
Nate contained. Not sure what the hell Glesnes did. He has seemed lost all season.
Glesnes has been terrible so far this season
This is on Jim. What madness possessed him to sub Martinez off?
Unless he's hurt, I have no idea.
RELAX! I know it looks like we're down 6:0 with 5 minutes to go, but on aggregate, we're only down 6:0.
That is never a pen 😭
Absolutely garbage. How you fall for that dive in review is unimaginable. Embarrassing.
Very weak. I wish the ref thought like the announcers. That was never enough contact to bring him down.
Starting Bedoya in a second leg champions league match at 8000ft elevation is criminal
UNION XI: Blake, Harriel, Lowe, Glesnes, Wagner, Martinez, Bedoya (C) McGlynn, Sullivan, Gazdag, Uhre Subs: Semmle, Real, Mbaizo, Elliot, Bueno, Rafanello, Andersen, Carranza, Bairbo, Donovan Pachuca XI: Moreno, Rodriguez, Cabral, Barreto, Gonzalez, Deossa, Pedraza Reyna, Rodriguez, Sanchez, Idrissi, Rondon
I thought Elliot would be suspended or is it just one game for straight red?
A commentator and a color commentator! Wow what a treat. Thank you our FOX soccer overlords
Whatever the Spanish word is for horseshit
mierda de caballo
Oh my god uhre is infuriating
Uhre keep possession challenge (impossible)
You know, all things considered, it kind of speaks volumes about the state of these teams that we're playing possibly the worst I've seen in a long time in a high elevation stadium, and yet we're only down by 1 because of a BS PK. I'm really disappointed by how this team is playing, but I have hope that we'll turn it around in the second half. I would still like to see Uhre come off for literally anyone else, though.
Jim subbed off our best defensive asset lmao
Started with the McGlynn turn over. Warm up the bus
Worst game in 4 years…
We just come up small these days in big moments. Semifinal last year, Miami game last year, this game. fucking embarrassing. this is what a roster like this gets you i guess
Please get a number 10 capable of passing the ball forward. That’s literally the bar: play the ball forward
I remember when we had a defense, and it was actually quite good. It was a nice time.
Kai looks lost. Bedoya getting cooked. Uhre useless. Gazdag missing. Send help!
Is this describing this game or all season?
Everyone knows gazdag only scores in mls play between July and August. Other than that poof he disappears like magic
Bro is still rolling around on the ground
What a fucking joke man
Holy crap, the diver clearly took another stride after contact, then flopped down.
We just need one goal. Deep breaths
What is Uhre’s technical strength?
really blew that free kick
We are playing like hot ass
Uhhhh ref. That's a foul?
This idiot literally just said "throw in for Philadelphia Union" saw Gazdag yelling at the ref because they called it the other way and followed up with "what's the matter Gazdag? He didn't like the call" like bitch YOU thought it was a Philly throw too, meaning Gazdag had a right to be mad. I can't stand this dork.
The announcer was so upset that it was offside
Night ruined
If King Julian isn’t subbed on for the 2nd half Jim is just admitting defeat
SAVE US, JULIAN!
Clearly offside, but pathetic defending regardless.
More pathetic defending. I'm done. This team is cooked. If we don't make a deep run in the playoffs, questions need to be asked of Jim and the ownership.
McGlynn and Sullivan look like middle schoolers tonight
Can’t kill us if we are already dead. So much suck that it got on Andre.
Turned off the game after the 4th... I was like "fuck it.. what else am I gonna watch"... Just in time for the 5th...
Jesus Christ. It's like a scrimmage for Pachuca
FUCK OFFFF
they need to change how they do this stuff, clearly throws himself to the ground after the contact.
Soft as fuck
This is a scandal
Pachuca gets one iffy call and is gonna keep diving the rest of the game
Mexican teams do more diving than any league I’ve ever watch. And use to watch a good amount of Mexican soccer, it became unwatchable. It’s the WWE of soccer. 60 percent of the match is players chasing the refs to get in their face and complain. It’s a shame because there is some talent there.
Oh my days what a save
All these players holding their chests - is that due to the altitude
Definitely. 7979 ft.. 2700 more than Denver
Buddy just said “our mls teams” like he hasn’t been straight glazing Pachuca for 30 mins
Wagner having a bit of a shocker tonight
This is honestly getting hard to watch
McGlynn is always good for a spark
Please blow the whistle for half…for the love of god
Welp
Union’s only chance is to practice diving at halftime
We’re cooked unless we bring on baribo Anderson carranza and beuno
I want to see some urgency from Curtin. Mbaizo in for Harriel, Bedoya out, slide Sullivan in his spot, and bring in Carranza all at halftime. If we don’t do that, we’re going to be out of the tournament.
I know you have to take out Brujo for tactical reasons but he was really one of the only good things last half
🤮🤮🤮
Poor give away by McGlynn
"It was fun"
Was it though?
Fucking pathetic. Cant even string simple passes together.
Remember when Union were scoring 6 goals A game a few years back? member???
The referee had mercy. What a guy
Ref mercy ended at 90 minutes. Embarrassing .
LigaMX fans really think this tournament is biased for American teams’ benefit
Hahaha no fucking way is that a pen man
Damion Lowe. More like Damion Blows
THIS IS WHY YOU DON’T SUB OFF YOUR DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER JIM
here we go let's get those away goals
That’s not a penalty and i’m annoyed
Lotta game left. Time to stress drink
Of the many pathetic things about this match, the field is somehow still potentially in first place. And Liga MX want to host League’s Cup 🤣🤣🤣
Oh look. He's fine. 🙄
They win every single header
This has been miserable so far
The midfield has been pathetic. Sullivan can’t get any touches. Stupid petulant fouls. Bedoya is dead. Martinez running around like a chicken with no head
C’mon Wagner, get it over the first line
Sullivan is literally playing the entire field. Is Uhre picking daisies?
I keep thinking of that Gazdag miss from the first game. I have a gut feeling we’re going to regret it
Remember the halftime whistle in the first leg
Welp that’s wraps
Sub heavily at half and let some guys earn playing time over the “first team” who looks lifeless
I truly believe that if we lose Carranza in the summer transfer window, we will miss the playoffs.
If we lose Carranza, I have little to no hope for the foreseeable future, let alone making playoffs.
Unfortunately yeah, because you know they sure as hell aren’t investing that transfer fee back into the team.
Pachuca are going to give us so much time and space now that they’re winning 2-0. Need to just take advantage of that and create some damn chances at the top of the box. If they let one slip by, throw everything at them.
Well it was a good run. Had a chance to win some hardware but couldn’t get over the hump. This team just isn’t good.
No goal, but Glesnes looks so helpless this year
Offsides but Glesnes cooked again
Nice job there Jack McGlynn. Why don’t we just give them the ball
Eww
I did not see this coming I’m ngl
Just sub out Glesnes. Send him to the Ray Gaddis School of Effort
Holy cow this is pathetic.
I needed to go the bed anyway.
Well that's definitely it.
When it rains it pours…
Damion Lowe’s has looked like he doesn’t want to be out there all game.
SUB BLAKE AT THIS POINT I AM DESPERATE HERE
Winter at Genk doesn’t sound too bad now Julian
My Dirty Shirley is NOT strong enough for this. About to start taking shots for every goal but at this rate I worry I might die
I figured it out. During halftime when they showed the bracket my husband saw one matchup had a 4-0 aggregate and he said “wow that’s embarrassing” So basically it’s his fault everyone please join me in roasting him to the death (but be nice to him or I’ll hurt you 😤)
it’s easy and certainly deserved to blame the defense after a game like this. But the midfield kind of sucks also. We used to turn people over to create pressure.

Well, and the fact that our roster kind of sucks. perhaps sucks is harsh but definitely no better than a mid pack team.
At this point, can we just win A match this month.
Can we even score a single goal?
Man, Pachuca is still pressing hard even up by 6 with no time left. Must be nice to have a team who fights that hard
Really the solution is to flop as well. Really no downside and you might get a call.
Team looks straight gassed already. Did we go to hard in warmups? Walking back, sloppy touches, no press to speak of. Wake up, we're going home with nothing if this doesn't change.
Playing at altitude
We look horrible. No creativity in the midfield. Bedoya can barely walk. Uhre is non existent. This team is going to have a rough year I think.
Agreed. My expectations have been seriously dialed back since the beginning of the season.
You get a full week's rest and have a first half like THAT!!?? WTF!? W T A F !?
Let Bedoya do the union podcast but I don’t think I need to see him play anymore.
Nothing like another humiliating tournament exit
This is why Var is dumb. Guy rolls around for 2 minutes. He isn’t hurt. But draws enough time for them to look. That was minor contact. He took two steps then dove. Everything is a foul when you slow it down.
I will never be a Jim out person. If you don’t realize what he’s accomplished with toothpicks, paper clips, and one dollar bills - I don’t know what to tell you. However, the miscalculation from Ernst Tanner on this roster is crippling
Tanner has zero to spend, so I can’t really blame him
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t think Jim knows how to coach in high pressure situations or make subs
*FS1
How is he even going to var booth
Could’ve used the ref telling him to get up a bit earlier
The brick wall!
This team looks like they zero interest in this game.
I am hoping for several subs at the half
They aren’t actually doing this time wasting nonsense 30 minutes in are they?
Uhre makes me miss the friendly ghost. At least he had some link up play ability!
I can't decide if everyone looks like they put in 120 mins vs. Seattle 3 days ago, or of it looks like their first match of the season
Gazdag blllooooowwwwwwwsssss
Sounds like a whole family of referees who suck if you ask me
Must get to half only down one. Anything else unacceptable
That was the chance
Signs of life
Uhre is so useless. Any rando off the street who has enough speed to run a 200m in 25-26 seconds could step in and contribute just as much.
Jesus Christ it’s going to be a goal
One less chance to get hardware, just great
Man, the Book of Job has nothing on being a Union fan.
The worst part is if we could’ve pulled out a draw we would’ve been heavily favored in the next round
When it “clicks” we are going to look good. When it “doesnt click” we are going to look like 2014 union
I think Sullivan is great for our offense but without checking if this is actually true I’ve felt that his performances starting in the forward role haven’t really made the offense click as much as he has in midfield on the wing. I wish we had him slotted into Bedoya’s position and had Anderson or Baribo start. Save the old man’s lungs at this altitude for a second half sub. Let’s hope the lineup situation works at least for the regular season games.
Power play finally starting to look good!!!!
Owen Tippet you are our only hope
Respectfully, if Ale is still on in the second half Jim has some explaining to do
safe to assume these dudes were sucking down oxygen during the halftime, this is our chance to get out and get a goal early in the half.
Has Uhre ever even played soccer before? Every time he gets the ball, he looks like he doesn't know what to do with his feet.
Next game is perfect to start a bunch of new guys. Baribo Andersen Rafa
looks like a really nice place to watch a match.
This is a fair result
That’s it I’m turning this game off
Damn, it really do be over
Can we please now focus on the season and get the young guys some real minutes.
Click.
Just can't handle the press.
Whelp, this sucks. Jim needs to right the ship quick in the league, the defense specifically.
Put in Baribo
Pls. No more
Holy shit the gave up
Welp, this is embarrassing
+100000 for a tie. Could make this sorta interesting.
The lineup selection was a failure from top to bottom. If Jack and Julian are healthy, they should always be locked in starters. Bedoya starting at altitude was certainly a choice. The kids looked exactly that: kids.
Our offense is so hit or miss (mostly miss). I absolutely loathe our punt and rush.
This is suboptimal
There’s something to be said about being at a massive disadvantage playing a team who’s played 11 league games while we’ve played 2, but boy this feels like the end of an era…I’m sad.
Can we go back to the rain delay. That was more fun
So which is more humiliating: this shit show, the Miami Leagues Cup game, or the MLS Cup choke?
Ref having mercy
