CITY Off to a Scorching (Re)Start; Decimates Austin FC 6-3
Ball Watching hosts, Jake Koenig and Justin Graham, recap St. Louis CITY SC’s win against Austin FC! We talk initial reactions, highlights, low lights, player ratings, where we go from here, and much much more!
Favorite player if I have to choose, probably Jackson. Just because when I first saw him play, I thought he wouldn't play on the first team very long. But as the season has progressed, I've seen the team grow, as well as AZ. He plays with an explosiveness that you really don't see much of in the MLS. He seems so comfortable on the ball while you can still see the rawness in his games and you know it's only up from here. He seems humble and focused and it's great to see. Hope he stays healthy! When he is picked up by a bigger club in Europe I will root for him and try to watch every game.
Favorite player is Löwen, pretty simple answer but his free kicks, long range shots, footwork is legitimately magical. He captivates the stadium whenever he’s on the ball and plays every position in the midfield but plays the box to box role PERFECTLY.
Player for the future has to be Jackson Delkus. He is such a baller playing that forward role with great footwork, pace, and shot. Excited to see him get integrated into CITY2 and eventually into the main team!
I'd say my favorite player is Johnny Nelson. Even though he's kind of fallen out of favor, he's a work horse and all-around great guy who interviews very well 😉. Plus, it seems he might be your guys' favorite player, so I'm hoping some brownie points help me out here 😂😂
Hey guys, great show as usual! My favorite player is Njabulo Blom. His ability to make such perfect tackles over and over under insane pressure amazes me.
Nico! Gio! He is incredibly humble and hard working. He goes quite at times but always steps up when we need him most! Talk about a great pickup in the expansion draft!
Favorite player is Célio. He has THE best smile in MLS. I Prefer him as a sub but I must admit I love to see that big goofy grin in the starting 11 photo.
Favorite player is definitely Blom. I know he did not play the best on Sunday but he’s overall impact to the squad is undeniable. I think he shines when the games are close or we are dow. He also holds the ball so well and it’s normally very hard to get the ball off him.
Favorite player is Edu Löwen. Our daughter plays mid and his style and command as a soccer player PLUS the person he is off the pitch makes him a perfect role model for her.
It’s Nökkvi easy. To finally have a team to follow all the random names in the transfer window that you’ve never heard of is awesome. Once I saw his rumor I was all in. For Thor to be our first big in season move and I mean the name Nökkvi and the nickname Thor come on! I was actually giddy when he got in last night!
My favorite player has to be BIG SAM. I had the chance to have dinner with the guy. I love how he came back from loan and has made his presence felt, capitalizing on the adversity and the challenge. Incredibly chill and humble dude. You’d never guess that he was a rising star with the hottest MLS team in the West. I actually asked him if he was really 6’5” bc sometimes teams exaggerate these stats. He had a super funny response about how he has an older brother who also questioned the stat and reminded Sam that he will always be the “little brother.”
Favorite player is Jared Stroud. He reminds me of my younger brother (if I had one). Tenacious in the corners, Aggravating as hell, and maybe a little too Dramatic. Definitely a Teammate I want on my side and in my family! Love to seem in the lineup.

Favorite player is unquestionably Miggy for his unrelenting intensity and of course being the hometown kid

AZ Jackson is a human embodiment of a fidget spinner and I am all for it.

Favorite is Sam Adeniran. He reminds me of if Pablo Sanchez was 6’5”, just bigger and better than everyone out there
Blom is my favorite. Spider legs sticking out all over the field. He collects everything. Had a poor game last night but he'll bounce back.
My favorite player is Jared Stroud he is one BMF on the field. Scary Jerry just one guy you do not want to piss off on the pitch.
Favorite player is Burki. Because he’s in your heeeeeeeeead! In your heeeeeeeeead!! Also because he was on my FUT team in like fifa 15 lol
