"Something that’s got to change is the personnel for sure." A new coach!

Another gem from Caleb Porter " At halftime, “we talked about more of the same. Keep being aggressive, keep pushing for the third goal, keep pressing high, keep attacking. And the last thing I told them was don't foul". So don’t blame me I told them to do the opposite of what happened. The players also need to show mentality. For example throwing a fit wherein you allude to the referee not having specific body parts and call out the commissioner. MENTALITY!

Friedelesque press conference that will be followed by no tactical improvements.

I just re-read this, and want to add I have watched pro sports for over 50 years, and I can never remember a coach with such poor skills when it comes to talking about the team. He is truly awful.

Look in the mirror, Porter.

“Mentality” in the players is “lacking?

Who knows on that angle, maybe all of the players all of sudden got more concerned with their FIFA gaming scores, but what else might be “lacking”?

1. Owners that care about anything other than a tax write-off.

2. A stadium fit for professional soccer.

3. Upper management that explains losing factors.

4. Explanations for Arenagate?

5. Caleb Porter and his staff’s disastrous management of team.

And, as a result of at least these 5, a perfect night for pro soccer with maybe a few thousand in evidence in the seats, so the fans are lacking as well.
