Can’t sleep…. How about you? We don’t typically do match reports, or in depth match analysis. We kinda leave that to the Grant Wahl wannabes. But I think right now we can make an exception to the rule. Holy fuck what a goal. Games are coming think and fast and I had the privilege of…

Monday Morning Quarterback
It was a question I quietly posed to myself in Oklahoma City; I kept it somewhat to myself and my immediate circle. “What exactly is Mike Ambersley doing on the right wing? Especially trying to track back against that wind in the first half.” Again against Tulsa, with younger legs on the bench, Ambo started…

Chad Bond joins Saint Louis FC

A Celebration of Supporter Groups Culture
The game didn’t really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. The Saint Louis FC season winding down without playoff contention and Louisville City already having secured the playoff bye after finishing the league in second place behind Rochester Rhinos. The game became a celebration of the season, a party to finish the year…
