They look like a bit like they've just seen the silly 10v11 men corner kick in the 2nd half of #COSvRI.
Poor bamboozled dogs!
Rhode Island slayed Charleston and Lou City but Colorado Springs held strongest through the playoffs and are deservedly the USL Champions #COSvRI
USL Sickos!
How did you spend watching #COSvRI / the USL C Final? Tell me!
I spend the time, talking with some other Dirigo Union [SG of Portland Hearts of Pine] on our SG Audio Channel, while we supported Rhode Island.
Was a fun bonding moment, for your silly German with his fellow Mainers.
After a soccer packed [Hertha Berlin at 1PM, #COSvRI at 6PM, at 9PM my #ShadowStream] saturday ... I now finally have some time & space to write!
I'm using the next 5,5 hours for a new #WritingWulf session, where I'll write on my post apocalyptic novel #AMercenarysJourney.

And here are my three initial takeaways from the game, where the Switchbacks set the tone from the opening kickoff while Jairo Henriquez brought the flair in a brilliant all-around display. #USLChampionship #COSvRI

Here's an immediate game report as Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC claimed its first #USLChampionship title with a 3-0 win against Rhode Island FC before a sellout crowd at 8,023 fans at Weidner Field. #COSvRI

Colorado Springs 3:0 Rhode Island FC
Colorado dominated the game from early and scored. When Rhode Island had the mistake, which led to the 3-0 ... the game was decided.
Can't wait to hear what @rifcpodcast.bsky.social have to say on their next podcast. #COSvRI #USLPlayoffs
Full Time - Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC 3, Rhode Island FC 0
A comprehensive victory for the hosts behind goals from Juan Tejada, Jairo Henriquez and Ronaldo Damus before a sellout crowd of 8,023 fans at Weidner Field. Outstanding performance. #COSvRI
Rhode Island had a great run-in to their first season, but today was almost all Switchbacks, a deserved win...happy for Annie, the Trailheads and all the good people in the Switchbacks community that have welcomed us time after time, enjoy the moment. ๐ฅณ๐ #COSvRI
Captain, oh Captain!
@rifcpodcast.bsky.social's Matt flexing his swag around on the ESPN+ stream again. #COSvRI #USLPlayoffs
Absolutely wild breakaway for Ronaldo Damus to record his second goal of the postseason.
Long way back for Rhode Island FC here on the road. #USLChampionship #COSvRI
Damus called game #COSvRI
Rhode Island commits forward for the corner...and in doing so, leave Ronaldo Damus wide open for the counterattack. He picks the ball up in midfield, dribbles forward and coolly slides it past Vegas to ice this ๐ #COSvRI
Wowowowow. Ronaldo Damus gets a 75-yard breakaway off a Rhode Island corner kick and buries it.
His ninth all-time #USLChampionship Playoffs goal, tied for the all-time lead.
3-0 to the Switchbacks. #COSvRI
Henriquez tries his luck from midfield with Vegas far out of goal...I wonder where that might've ended up without the thinner mountain air ๐ค #COSvRI
Two substitutions for Rhode Island at the halftime break.
Jack Panayotou and Jojea Kwizera come on, Grant Stoneman and Marc Ybarra depart. #COSvRI #USLChampionship
Rhode Island never really started their game. They look like headless chicken.
Colorado dominates and is clearly the better team.
Frustrating time for Rhode Island & New Englanders.
#COSvRI #USLPlayoffs #USLChampionshipFinal
RIFC rather quiet in that first half, the Switchbacks controlled play and made it count with a couple goals, one well-worked and one well-taken. You know what they say about 2-0 leads though... ๐ #COSvRI
Halftime - Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC 2, Rhode Island FC 0
Outstanding first half by the hosts, who've handled RIFC's forward line well and keep winning battles for possession in midfield. Two tremendous goals to put them firmly in control. #USLChampionship #COSvRI
I have City on the iPad but definitely watching #COSvRI ๐
Absolutely superb finish by El Salvador international Jairo Henriquez to put the Switchbacks ahead 2-0 as we enter stoppage time in the first half.
Pick that one out. #USLChampionship #COSvRI
Henriquez gets a second bite at the apple and blasts it in from the edge of the box, top left corner...looks to me like it took a slight deflection, but it counts no matter what. Big timing on that goal, RIFC will probably feel a lot different going into HT. #COSvRI
Oh my goodness, Jairo Henriquez. What a finish by the El Salvador international to put the Switchbacks ahead by a pair of goals. His second of the postseason. #USLChampionship #COSvRI
Aaand the sun's out...glad I'm just watching on TV and don't have to cover this ๐ Especially with my eyes, I detest covering sunny matches... #COSvRI
Beautiful patience and then precision from the Switchbacks as Juan Tejada puts away Yosuke Hanya's cross.
Tejada's second goal in as many playoff games has the hosts ahead in the 2024 #USLChampionship Final. #COSvRI
Yup, the Switchbacks kept knocking, finally the door creaks open and Tejada gets the deserved go-ahead goal, peeled away from his defender at the perfect moment. #COSvRI
Not sure what y'all are complaining about. #USLPlayoffs final at 6PM German time, is a neat time for US Soccer! ๐
I'm watching #COSvRI and obviously I'm supporting Rhode Island and my peeps @rifcpodcast.bsky.social & @raisinganchorjc.bsky.social.
Never missed an RIFC game ... won't start today!
Early warning shot from the Switchbacks there, what a through ball...Hanya's shot narrowly wide though. Still, good to see the match lively from the start ๐ #COSvRI
Alright, here we go everyone. Turn over shortly to CBS, TUDN or turn on SiriusXM as we count down to the 2024 #USLChampionship Final.
This place is packed, hope you enjoy the game and the broadcast. #COSvRI
It's the Hat Trick #USLChampionship Final Preview.
Who have my colleagues Datti Jinkiri and Sarah Kate Kilby got lifting the trophy tomorrow? #COSvRI
