Great effort by the guys. They showed real heart and fight which tells me they haven't necessarily given up on this season, which is more than I can say for the people on this thread. Thankfully the players matter more than all of us! The will and desire to win is still there, whether we have the talent to win is another question but I have been encouraged by what I've seen the last few outings.
I thought we played well enough to win the last two matches against really quality Mexican league teams. They took their chance better than us tonight but I really liked the toughness and desire we showed. Would have been easy to roll-over in the second half after the late first half concession. Tells me that the guys haven't bailed on the club, the coaching staff, and each other.
