Disgusting refereeing. Only a red because of the reactions from the Chelsea player. It's fucking ridiculous. So pissed off.

FFS In my defense I was learning it before You found me on duolingo or something

Showing too little faith in me man, you know I love the City, been there 10+ times. Support the Orlando Magic like crazy. That Okugo shit put us on the wrong foot, let's start over. Okugo is the shit. Him and Brek Shea are my two favourite players. Owners Brazilian He's representing.

Fair enough if that's your opinion, but why is he second to none in KO formats though? I mean, he has the most CL wins (equal to Paisley) and all. But I mean, he's managed very good sides since 99 while someone like Guardiola who has won two already and might win another one has in far less amount. Mourinho started later as well. Heynckes and Hitzfeld have good competition records and Del Bosque probably has the best CV when it comes to KO format.

Bucs was never Orlando though This team has at least Kaka. I was watching Josh Freeman ffs.

Innovative

Fair enough I guess. What I like about him is the fact that he came to Bayern and could've easily just rode the success of Heynckes and play the same football which was obviously killing it. He still decided to change and dare I say they're better now than they've been before. Another way to look at it is that he changed a winning formula and for that reason got destroyed in the champions league last season Destroyed in the semi's sure, but that was a lot down to the game panning out the way Real wanted it. Pure counters. Result wasn't fair in comparison to the performances over two legs. Real loves an early goal from a set piece so they can just counter all day. Real Madrid is a top two team on paper in Europe without a doubt, the depth they have shows that.

Ancelotti is a gentleman no doubt about it, and one of the better managers (despite me believing he has some limitations) to grace the game. Comparing him to Pardew is criminal It's pretty obvious that the answer is going to be no one I'd have Klopp ahead of him in terms of style and the way he conducts himself in interviews, but it's nigh on impossible to beat Ancelotti when it comes to results. Ferguson, Guardiola and Mourinho are the only ones I can think of, but they all have their flaws that makes them on a level below Ancelotti for me (Ferguson: only really did it at one club, Guardiola hasn't got the experience yet, though it certainly looks like he's the real deal, Mourinho doesn't seem to care for building for the future at all which I think a great manager needs to do). How is it impossible to beat Ancelotti in terms of results? Guardiola has more league titles than Ancelotti who has managed I don't know for how many years while only being one CL title behind. He changed the game for a while at Barcelona and is trying the same at Bayern with his new total football approach. Guardiola is the most innovative and successful manager of recent times, not saying he's the best of all time but he sure is heck of a manager that you could definitely compare to Ancelotti in terms of results already. (Guardiola actually has the same amount of titles in terms of numbers than Ancelotti and he has managed for 7 years in top flight basically)

This game was class. Never expected it to be this good, reminded of the Real - Dortmund game from last season.

I'm still convinced Okugo was the guy, but Kanji may be right after all. One of the two CMs couldn't do anything right though. cmon dude, between me, everyone who watched the game not named you and SI. You still not convinced? You think Cabella is tall too? I'm surprised to even see to Orlando City players in there I mean seriously, is that the level? I though Orlando were still trying to gel. If that is XI of the Week material I'm f***ed. f*** sakes Kanji what have I gotten myself into? Already scheduled to watch the next game on tv. I didn't see the game, but my blind answer is a resounding yes. There are very few teams in the MLS capable of successfully passing the ball more than 3 times without giving it away. There is a lot of effort but very little team quality, just a few good players who every so often make something magic happen (where have I heard that before...). Although I imagine NYCFC & Orlando have an excuse given it was their first game. Which team plays the best football in the MLS? Seattle, Portland, SKC, LA. It fluctuates. New England played some decent football last season. Also, we need to end this "the MLS." It's just "MLS." Just as we don't say "the MLB." It's a pet hate and perhaps a YANK thing, but that's just how it is. It's Brazils team. Without the Brazilian guy owning the team and Kaka it's a nothing team, amirite? Kaka and 'dipo. We're brothers Kanji, I'm all Orlando City, I just can't buy that Okugo was decent and Higuaita wasn't. That just doesn't fall right with me

Red Bulls or New Manchester City? I mean, you gotta pick one right? I'm not happy about it at all. When are the Cosmos getting into the MLS?

Brazilian league is probably as bad just with a bit better technique. Still going to watch the god damn games, because Kaka is an absolute legend. He'll no doubt run this league when he (only a matter of time ) hit form. I also hope Brek Shea does more of those tricks at left-back. Looked clueless for the first 30, then he started doing some godly stuff and actually linked up well with Kaka :lol.

Although if Kaka makes that team then something is wrong with the MLS.

He's a gentleman and one of the greatest cup managers, but I've always said he has problem opening up teams. His team (except his Chelsea side possibly) have always been based on counter attacking football that works the absolute best when they get an early goal, otherwise his team will sit and wait for the right time to strike. It's nothing negative towards him it can just be boring at times as in the weekend when they conceded and were completely unable to create much despite having a team full of fantastic offensive players. Still think it's ridiculous to consider firing him, they just need to get back to form which can happen any day and they'll probably be favourites to win the CL for a second time in a row.

Shea really grew into the 2nd half, but I can't agree regarding that Okugo guy, sure he won couple of balls in midfield but that Higuita guy was the one controlling the tempo of the game while that Okugo guy looked completely incapable of playing a pass (that moment in the first half when he tried to boot the ball with a half volley and completely made a mess out of it ). That Collin guy that was sent off kept going into challenges at 200% he was going to get sent off at some point Seemed completely wreckless. Molino is quite decent as well and him Rivas and Kaka with better understanding will definitely do some damage I think. Well that is if the quality of the game yesterday is the same across the league. Ugh, you obviously know their names, stop putting "guy" behind them. Yeah that read pretty weirdly, my excuse is I wrote it right after waking up. I apologize, that's Mole-esque.

Well that is if the quality of the game yesterday is the same across the league. Different game we saw then bro, Okugo made like dozens of tackles and interceptions and kept possession brilliantly well. Great tackles too. Higuata made far more mistakes. Both did very well though together. Need to remember that Okugu isn't South American, though. Literally have no idea what Flip is saying about Okugo man, literally everyone was annoyed with Higuata - gave the ball away far too much when he needed to play it simple. He has a far better ceiling though, think he will grow into his role. Okugo? The same man who couldn't control the god damn ball? Or am I mixing them up, Okugo was the bit craftier number 5 guy right? The one that completely mishit a ball in the first half and then somehow panicked and got a foot on it after a turn and landed with a NY City player? Every time the ball came to him he hit a pass that bounced or something. He's really not a very good player Kanji. My personal opinion though.

Kaka is unbelievable. Did you see his speed? And what a free-kick so precise. Can't believe I sat through these 90 minutes man.

I've seen Orlando try more in 45 minutes than I've seen NUFC try in three years. Let's be honest the quality has been dreadful. Yet two or three of those guys would go straight into our (NUFC) lineup. MLS is godawful, but the little move before the Kaka shot was more than we've done since Cabaye left. The diving has been inspiring. Told my brother this is it, it's the league to follow. Done with European football, done with all these clubs just buying success. I mean if Brek Shea can get into a football team it means something is seriously right with the system

I'm a better footballer than Izhizaki or however you spell his name and I'll never be an LA fan in any sport. Orlando. Look at Oladipo and Kaka becoming best friends forever.
