RSL vs. NYCFC: What went wrong?

‘Write the player of the match.’

Me, ‘OK’.

‘It has to be about an RSL player”.

Me, ‘Oh.’

Not really sure there is much left to say.

Instead of a player of the match, maybe we can just break down what went wrong.

We went up against a really good team. They did win the cup last year, and they were playing on their field, which is quite a different soccer stadium. Do these feel like excuses? Yes.

This was the first time this season that I just didn’t see much in the way of game plan.
