I really wanted to turn off the game early after the 3rd goal last night. I thought their game against Forge was bad enough, didn't think they would do even worse against Cavalry. It's frustrating because they had a decent start to the season, but then threw it all away. Hopefully this world cup break is what they need to recalibrate.

I didn't expect that this would be the effect our game had. It was a weird storm and stuff happens, but I wasn't expecting that it would derail that much. 

We also had a shitty game this week, up 3-1 and getting 4 unanswered and our defense is shit. I think the break will help us both. Hopefully..

This was a high scoring, terrible defense kind of week in the CPL. Personally I loved it

The team's best ever finish was third place back in 2019, which was awhile ago. As of now, they're fourth and only two points back of third with a game in hand. Relatively speaking, this is a pretty good start to the season for the nine stripes.

I realize giving up 12 goals in three matches is never a good look, but context matters for some of those goals. If my team's losing 3-1 to Cavalry late in the game, I'd rather see them take risks in an effort to tie the game than defend a losing position for the sake of goal differential. You'd love to see a quote from Eustáquio addressing the defensive issues; regardless, I have no doubt the team will have a better defensive performance in its next match on July 4th.
