Mendoza should be demoted. Lost control of the game immediately. Called an imaginary foul after watching the replay on the video board. Just embarassing.

I would have really liked to see that game 11v11 because I think it would have been super entertaining.
We seemed to have actual intent going forward and it was stymied by The Incident.
Or 10v10 after the shot to Duberβs face would have been interesting too
I most certainly did not like that ref.
Liked: Zilch
Disliked:
- VAR
- Rosendo Mendoza
- Nico pulling Nelson early.
- Dani getting injured because the other senior midfielders on this roster are not going to help this team in offense. Not sure if Ervin Torres or a short-term callup for Alastuey will help.
Game is about the ref.
If Biro's foul was a red, that elbow certainly was.
I don't think I can take much away from that match besides really wanting to play Rosales on the left now.
Austin FC loses 3-1 at Charlotte FC.
What did you like?
What didnβt you like?
This is typical Mendoza ad the center official
And now a disallowed goal by VAR
We are MLSing tonight.
This half had everything:
-A soft red card;
-An ugly goal;
-A shambolic back pass for an Own Goal;
-injuries;
-10 extra minutes!

Disliked:
Daniβs sloppy play
Uzuni continues to be ineffective
DC looked awful and we let them stay in the game
Ref letting them play tactical foul bonanza for the whole game without cards. They just hacked every time we got 3 passes in a row. Wish Nico would be more vocal about that in the postgame
Liked: winning a game they outplayed the other team
Disliked: the ref, DCβs general shithousing, day game
I liked that we played on the front foot from first whistle. Biro and Jon looked sharp the full 90.
Didnβt like that Stroud was still allowed in Q2 after his shenanigans with SLFC
Likes: the W, lovely weather, beautiful poster, the Torres/Nelson duo, Ramirez
Dislikes (many fewer than usual): refs, too many tries with too few goals
Liked:
- Christian Ramirez.
- Lots of set pieces.
- Winning (however ugly it was).
Disliked:
- Why wear the dark uniform on a sunny afternoon day?
- TV whiteout.
- The ref.
- Had a lot of difficulty generating chances in open play.
Liked seeing austin aggressive, and loved seeing them score with a guy who just joined at a steep discount
impressive from a team missing 3 key pieces
didnt like nearly losing out on 2 points again because the finishing just doesn't happen
Liked:
Win.
Weather.
Debut goal.
Disliked:
Can't finish chances.
Ref?!

Austin FC beats DC United 1-0 thanks to a goal from newcomer Christian Ramirez.
What did you like?
What didnβt you like?
Admin starts. Didnβt like Jared Stroud
Also the weather is gorgeous and if it stayed like this for awhile that would be really nice
DC United's press is hopelessly passive and poses zero hard questions, great to see a team rep their city
First half thoughts:
-Refereeβs first match in the center and it shows;
-Austin clearly outplaying DC but canβt convert set pieces;
-Gally/Rosales not on the same page on the right;
-DC is condensing lines and Austin needs to look to beat them over the top.
Dani continues to sport hair that causes early Justin Timberlake to ask βwhy?β
