Scarlett (I believe) just scored again. 3-0, interesting to see the disparity in build between some of these players at this age.

Edit: @Anuth beat me to it. But we just scored a 4th.

No you just got all pissy about his comment.
I called him out on his drivel attacking the fact that oil money has an upper academy side which he solely did because he's employed by the energy drink and the sides are trying to create a rivalry. Im of the opinion that the more academies the better. The game in this country is shit because of the severe lack of investment into it by his ultimate employer, the main owner of both oil money and the energy drink, MLS. His comment was uncalled for. NYC's academy is not great at all but it is just starting out.

We spend the most money on our academy in this country. We also invested $200 million in private money to build our stadium. We also invested millions in MLS. Red Bull has probably done the most to grow the game in the US of any MLS team.

Maybe have a little more knowledge next time you try to come at me.

PS. We're not trying to create a rivalry. Our rival is DC.

Based on @IGSpur 's line up from last match. 1st goal was Mathurin(11) 2nd goal was Scarlett(9)

Cheers for the updates guys. I really attempted to stay awake, I don't know why they delayed KO so much, sounds like we missed a good game. Even though we apparently lost on pens first game it looks like they gave us a point. We've got 4pts so looks like we will be through.

Was it the same line-up as the first game, any catch the eye?

I was also sleepy last night so I've watched on 1st half
I'm not so sure about the line-up.

IIRC We've played something like 4-3-3 with #6 at CB (not sure who but he's very big) and Hackett at Lb. Casanova in the middle but I'm not sure whether his partner was Haymansman(#8) or #18 lol. Up top #7 and Mathurin were wingers with Scarlett as a striker.
