    The ONLY tam under .500 when combining the two. Great job SH!

    Keep making subs like Torres instead of Davies for John and I’m sure you can get it even closer to .000.

    That is just pathetic. What is it about our team that causes results like this? I guess part of it is that many of our defenders have been hurt. But what else? Who’s responsibility is this?

    Only two teams have ever finished below .500 when scoring first. The 2003 Burn and the 2001 Mutiny, two of the worst teams in league history. Blech.

    when you’re bad…you’re bad. it doesn’t matter how many goals you score in 45mins, but how many in 90.
