Putting this up a few days before I normally post a pre-match thread in case anyone is thinking about buying tickets. I'll write something up a bit later this week. Anyone attending in person? How are plane prices?

If you know of any watch parties around the state, reply and i'll update the post.

Predictions about the match?

Guess what**?!** New Mexico is on the road again for match against Las Vegas Lights. Las Vegas has lost their last three, including a 6-0 loss to Charleston last week. This season, Las Vegas has a new look at home. Gone are the money drops and mini pools, and instead they have proper ad boards. Which brings a more serious look to their organization. Expect a serious response to their previous week's loss as well.

New Mexico also experienced a loss last week, snapping a three match win streak. Yesterday NM signed defender Abdi Mohamed, which should add some more depth in the defense area. I'm curious if the club is also looking to sign anyone to play where Nava would be?

Are you watching at home, at a watch party or on the road (shout out to all the away supporters, lose your voices!)

Let's go!

Here we go. Back on the road. Something something something. Are you all ready for the road match on the road on the CBS sports network? Attending in person? If not, attending a watch party? Predictions? Random comments about the weather? Lets go!

Ref stats so far this season:

Abdou Ndiaye

Comp # Matches Y Yx2 R PK

USLC 4 29 0 0 2

He's also been a 4th official at two MLS matches. Last season he was the ref for our away match @ San Diego Loyal.

Back to league play. This will be the first of a few away matches. Predictions? Crazy stories? Are you ready?

Another USOC campaign begins now. First up will be a match against Lubbock Matadors. From the sound of it, they are bringing a good number of away supporters. Which is awesome. Predictions?

Are you attending in person, or watching stream? What are the odds that the stadium location is called out on the stream as being Albuquerque?

After last weekend's disappointing result against Charleston Battery, New Mexico heads to Arizona to take on the 2023 USL Championship playoff champions, Phoenix Rising. Interesting enough, to win that championship match, Phoenix had to beat Charleston in penalties.

Like many USL clubs, Phoenix had some churn in the off season. Players like Danny Trejo (scored 19 goals in 2023), Manuel Arteaga (15 goals), and Carlos Harvey (6 goals) have left. Phoenix also lost much of their backline due to transfers and retirements. All these transfers predictably have resulted in a rough start to their season, with two losses and a win.

This is an opportunity for New Mexico to shake off the 4-0 loss and move forward with their season. Of course New Mexico also had loads of churn. So neither club is gelling yet. An away away in Phoenix will however be a good way to set the tone for the rest of the season.

The Referee for this match is Alexis Da Silva. Alexis has been showing yellow a lot this season with an average of 7.3 yellows per match (three matches). It is worth noting that in the 2023 season, across 24 matches he only showed a second yellow once, and never gave a straight red.

What are your predictions for this match? Are you attending in person? Are you taking the bus with other New Mexico United supporters?

Welcome to the first 2024 season edition of 'SymphonicResonance forgot what day it was and almost missed posting the pre-match thread' (Went to a show on Thursday night, and my concept of time got all turned around).

Who all is attending in person? Predictions?

We seem to be spending a lot of time on the east coast this month.

SOCCER IS BACK

T-minus 24 hours (ish) from this post. Are you ready? If you have ignored posts since last season, check the roster thread to get your self updated of all the changes. Pete is flipping cooking pancakes at the pre-match tailgate, soooo FOOOOd! Remember to arrive early enough for a home opener flag.

As of right now, seats left on Seatgeek seem to indicate the potential for a packed house:

If attending, what are your plans? Are your vocal cords in good working order? Planning on starting any new match day traditions? What pre-match song are you getting pumped to?

I say again, ARE YOU READY?

SOMOS!

Only Suggs remains on the Unknown list. Including the new signings, the squad is at 18. Will this squad be a small tight knit deal, or will it have some depth (to survive a long season of unknown issues).

A few weeks back Santi Moar was reported as returning but as of this Tweet (Xeet?), it looks like he is moving on from NMU.

So we are down to only not knowing about Tambakis, Yearwood, Suggs, Wehan, and Hamilton. Though there has been chatter that Hamilton is leaving.

Serious foul play

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.


A studs up challenge makes a tackle excessive.

Actually looks like moving domains is not possible with Lemmy because it breaks federation. I'm still looking into solutions. I may need to spin up a new instance to and transition to that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean, sure. But currently, both my domains have a soccer theme. If I went a more general New Mexico route, a more general tld would be appropriate.

Are you, by chance, on our discord?

This match is NOT on ESPN+. It is only on ESPN2.
