Episodes
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where sometimes our matches are Columbusts
1: We can lose, but we cannot lose like that. Tonight was unacceptable. Full stop. At least we dirtied their clean sheet but, good grief. This cannot happen…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where it’s better than bad it’s good
1: In addition to the chemistry we’re seeing on display and the great attacking soccer, we’ve also got something we didn’t have last year, luck. I’m honestly a…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we put on a Wiley performance
1: Well that was quick. We haven’t seen that kind of fast and decisive attacking movements in the attacking third, with final product, in some time. We came…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where points are dropped but hopes are raised?
1: Caleb Wiley impressed me the most in the first half. There are some takes and narratives out there that this club doesn’t develop young players well. While…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we don’t start till the stop
1: Scoring, it better be Greek to us. The new Luiz looked like the old Luiz. His touches were poor. His decision making was bad and the penalty was…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where Luiz gave us a lot Toluc-at
1: Luiz showed and has shown a lot so far. He looks like a more sure footed, confident version of himself. We’ve all known he has the technical skill but too…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are gggonna be ok
A discussion, big picture, about the state of the USMNT.
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we’ve run out of clever intros
1: Fits and starts. I can not and have not been able to make heads or tails of this team this year and the quality of some of our performances. In our waking…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we needed a Revolution and unfortunately we got it
1: Really poor goal keeping from Gudino on the first goal. It was clumsy to give away the penalty and then really poor on the penalty kick itself. It’s usually…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we have at least Juan reason to he hopeful
1: First half was very much the story of the season. The first half of the season anyhow. We were in complete control of the match. Quality chances created…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are the best of the worst
1: We went up against the worst team statistically and aesthetically in MLS and we couldn’t net a goal in the first half. It’s not good enough. I figured DC…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where the woodwork won’t work
1: It is the hope that kills you. The first half, in particular the first 25 minutes was hands down the best attacking soccer we’ve seen all season. You gotta…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where winning is Gutman
1: We are still not pressuring enough and turning the ball over in dangerous spots. Furthermore, when we do, we don’t transition into attack quickly enough. In…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where our results are unified
1: Here we are, once again, talking about something we don’t to talk about, Refereeing. At the time of writing this it’s not 100% clear but based on Pineda’s…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we play Real good soccer.
1: Sejdic had a helluva game. Him and Rossetto both were at their best. Sejdic had at least 3 tackles leading to turnovers that, at the very least, lead to…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are not alright alright alright
1: Austin, maybe more than any other team in MLS, is so good at making something out of nothing. It’s a metaphor for their whole season. They are a completely…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we went on the road and dugout a result
1: Take everything you know about football and throw it in the trash when you’re being taken out to the ball game. For the first 20 minutes we looked like we…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are half way there, and the injuries are hard to bear.
1: Toronto’s press was effective and ours was non existent. Honestly, I think we just got outworked tonight. We didn’t posses or dominate the run of play like…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where it’s a banner day for Atlanta United
1: Nothing helps break down a low block like an early goal and a red card. Thank god we scored early because a team going down to 10 is no guarantee that…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are held together by duct tape and defiance
1: It’s very hard to be critical of the team’s play when they are just hit with injury after injury after injury. We’re so injured that Mikey is on the pitch…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are off beat, but not beaten.
1: Not a good stretch for Alan Franco. Is his overall play horrible? No. Not really. But his mistakes are costing us goals and potentially points. Defending is…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where our forest is fire proof
1: Tremendous response after losing Miles. I’m absolutely gutted for him. Looks he he’s done his Achilles too and will then most likely miss out on the World…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where Montreal still has an impact
1: 🎵Heyyy we’re 2/3 there! Ohhhhhh, this is hard to bare. 🎵 Over the past few matches we’ve seen progression. Today was a regression for me. That doesn’t mean…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we inHERRONly have bad luck
1: Cisneros’ best start by far. I really would not write this guy off yet. Is he gonna have double digit goals? No probably not. But can we get some production…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we need to finish what we started
1: There is no way, absolutely no way you can say Atlanta United played poorly. I’d argue that we looked better in the attacking phase (which was often)…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where DC cannot stop the steal.
1: Thiago looked very good for his first start. Apart from producing another GOW, there’s not much more he could e done to get a goal tonight. He was very…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we find our ”foot”ing late
1: When you strike a wounded animal it’s going to either roll over and die, or lash out one last time. Montreal came in full gas with the knowledge that a two…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we experience new lows at new highs
1: Josef continues to be in good positions unfortunately he is missing that final touch. I’m happy to see him in the positions we want him to be in but if we…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we Dom-inate
1: I’m not trying to minimize what’s going on in the world right now but I feel really hopeful. If Dom Dwyer can score a goal in Atlanta United colors…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are stopped short at short-stop.
1: There’s a reason NYC has only lost like, half dozen games at Yankee stadium. I hate playing here. The margin for error is so thin. Set pieces are even more…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are those MO%$!@F%$#!@!
1: What happens in New Jersey apparently travels to Cincinnati. Ironically, we looked like could’ve used a Red Bull in the first half. It was a surprisingly…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where neither can live while the other survives
10-30 Toronto 1: Luiz is that guy. He can develop the attack in midfield. He can drop back and defend. He can finish chances. He create them on his own.He had…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where having a goal is not good enough
1: Marcelino is a Number 10+. Chance creator. Chance finisher. Dribbler. Back a Brinks truck up to his house and lock him in as long as we can. The only…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we got pout-ine our place
1: Terrific pressing from us in the first half. We were smothering the ball and forcing turnovers frequently. Honestly the pressure was really good in both…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
El donde Atlanta es familia
1: Miami was playing super compact. It was difficult to break down for the first 30 minutes but then we started to find ways through by being a little more…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are pro union, except when we play them.
1: I was really surprised by the lack of energy and intensity, especially in the first half. I mean Philly wants to play a slower game in general but that…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we have the goat and the boat
1: This started out looking like a game being played on short rest. Energy was low and it just looked sluggish. The schedule is brutal. You’re gonna have games…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where our players have a steak in their celebrations
1: It was coming and today it happened. Luiz is a damn baller. Really happy to see him find the net today. He’s been so close so many times. I fully expect…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where Orlando has Nani, and nada
1: If/when Miles leaves, it’s George Campbell’s job. His progress has been really similar to Miles’ in fact. He’s developed, he’s had time with the 2’s, he’s…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we move Four-ward
1: A one, a two, a one two three FOUR! The last two games may not have been the prettiest but we are finding ways. Moreno continues to be a key reason for us…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where the south might have something to say
1: Hell of a good day for the unity kit. Something is happening here. The play is coming together. There’s an understanding and UNITY amongst the squad. The…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where all we do is win....every 3 months.
1: Barco out there making my takes look like crap. Hey I love being wrong. I will say that this does fit his profile perfectly. He’s hot and cold. More often…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where it is not neck and neck
1: I think the Sosa hype train may have mad too many passengers. He hasn’t looked great lately and he looked shaky again tonight with missed passes, miss timed…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where father has spoken, and the kids don't care
1: it’s been a long time since Daddy’s visited his children and so it’s only fitting he bring them a gift in the form of a Goalazo. It was great to see Josef…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we have to ketchup with no Heinze
1: Well I dare say that is the most consistent and threatening we have looked all season. We certainly haven’t created that many quality chances…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are the A, that's going south.
1: Credit where credit is due. Cubo shot the ball, at the goal, with his foot and with his head. In all seriousness, despite not scoring, probably his best…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where the kids are alright
1: Well, we certainly looked more up for it then our previous 3 matches. It does suck that we are at the point of being happy that we’re at least trying. Tho…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we go out for ice cream
1: I’m not even going to bother calling out individual player performances here. I mean yes in the 19th minute Cubo had a great touch and turn and then once…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we have more draws than a Spaghetti Western
1: 20 East at 5:00 in the afternoon has more going forward than we do. It’s not that we look afraid to go forward it’s that we know we have nothing and have…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where our sheets are dirty
1: Cubo is like my dog with her food at night, he refuses to finish. HIs work rate and effectiveness outside the 18 and final third is great but I don’t…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where Miami isn't the only one dealing with corruption
1: Route One United. Robinson was like an overturned brinks truck dropping dimes. That ball to Moreno....with 3 defenders.....c’mon. Great finish from Moreno…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where it's difficult to think of a Tie-tle
1: That’s it. Set piece clinic. We need it. We are abysmal at defending them. I’m tired of conceding goals off of corners and free kicks. Not letting your man…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where late is still great
1: Moreno can probably dribble anyone off the pitch but he absolutely cannot shoot. He had a sitter of a shot in the 15th thanks to a lovely cutback ball from…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we can draw a lot from a draw
1: Little surprised by the aggression from the Union. They were trying to put this thing to bed from the word go. And then it didn’t stop. Even after our goal…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where 🥱
1: Cubo Torres should be in his prime and he just hasn’t produced. Currently he’s little more than a reserve player who can step in when we really don’t have…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where momma said there'd be games like this
1: Hyndman with a great extended tackle in the 18th. Tremendous half volley strike in the 32nd. Tremendous defensive work. Tremendous offensive work. Hyndman…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where pink is already the love we've discovered
4-24 Chicago Fire 1: Barco out there working on that transfer fee. It’s a ridiculous goal and one that goes sailing over the bar in previous iterations of…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where father is kind to his kids
1: Barco even putting in tackles now to win the ball back. I continue to be really happy with pretty much everything he is doing. When Josef is fully back I…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where our boat is not stuck
1: We started off the match on the front foot. We were lively and creating chances straight away but I feel like Ala lolled us to sleep a bit because after…
- Five Takes On The Five Stripes
The one where we are living Rocco's goal saving life
1: Pretty pleased with our overall shape especially defensively. Apart from Guzan having to come off his line in the 33rd and then channeling his inner LGP and…
