But this goal! The football this team can play!

I don't think I will ever get over this. Imagine not qualifying for playoffs because the ref gave this as a pk.

Well these will have to go on hold for a bit. The browsers have wised up and aren't letting me screen record so until I can sort out a work around these will be on hold

For this week's @USL_HQ tactical analysis, we will head to the @USLChampionship and take a look at undefeated @TampaBayRowdies matchup vs @oaklandrootssc! Check back at the end of the week!

Reposting as I got it out late last night!

And for the most part that was the end of the game. The Cosmos second half improvement, particularly in those first 15 minutes, was significant but when you have dug yourself such a massive hole, you leave yourself little chance. Looking at the overall stats, you can see how the Cosmos were able to flip the possession advantage and overtake the shot advantage but the glaring stat for me is the duel success rate with Spokane winning that line 59.5% to 40.5% and the tackle success rate at 72.7% to 58.3%. Given a 3rd successive loss in the Cosmos next game to Greenville, it has to be hard for them to be seeing the positives

Spokane eventually came back to life after surviving the flurry of chances that fell to the Cosmos and after a few subs they managed to be dangerous themselves off a familiar script. Again you can see the Cosmos commitment to put numbers forward and given the scoreline they didn't have any choice. But that certainly left them open in transition in moments as you see in this clip. Again Neco Brett does well to hold off the Cosmos CB before playing an immaculate diagonal to John-Brown who drives into the space and elects to go himself despite options. The play deserved a finish but in the end is relatively comfortable for the Cosmos keeper

Well week 4 of @USLLeagueOne @USLChampionship has already kicked off with mid-week games but I was able to take a look back at the week 3 @SpokaneVelocity match vs @NYCosmos. Check out the full thread for the full tactical analysis #uslsoccer #tacticalanalysis #usltactics
