At Ballpark Village

I convinced a friend to tune in last night for the game. He had never watched an STL game and while it was an exciting match, I felt bad that his first impression was a 0-0 score line.

I swore to him that it wasn't normally like this.. and that made me think, "Wait.. when was the last time STL had a 0-0 draw?"

I pulled up our match history and sure enough, there they were.. Our last 0-0 draw was almost 18 months ago versus none other than the WHITECAPS.

Right???

I haven’t watched the post-game interview yet but did they say anything about the concussions and injuries? Have we heard anything?

AI provided some and some I remember.

On another tab playing around with "Where are they now?" for former players.

Nice article here from Backheeled on Damet and City. Really enjoyed the discussion about the various play styles and the anecdote about when the players bought in. Give it a read!

Did anyone catch what he said before he opted out of the game? Poor dude. Hope he’s okay.

2 A+ national anthems tonight by the woman who sang them.

Amazing .

Thought this would be fun to revisit on the night we clinched the playoffs.

Not that it's a bad thing but our crowd noise is louder than the announcers tonight.
