Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Go to more games!

Getting to downtown from the Eastside is a pain, and my kids are generally too young to bring along.

Oh, and those are just convenient excuses. I like watching sports on TV better than live anyway. My own couch, own food, own DVR, on my own time, celebrating only with my kids.

But I went off-topic. Yeah, they've done well when I've attended Now they need to decide to win on their own.

So TFC's last two losses are against 10-man Montreal and 9-man San Jose.

Can we start declining other team's red cards?

Or you could be a FC Dallas fan. Much closer to Lubbock than Seattle.

True, and I've heard that their All You Can Eat tickets are awesome.

Oh hey, what do you know? Dallas's next match is against Portland...

Hm, Landon Donovan is going to play for the Galaxy for the rest of the season.

Interested to see how much ability he has lost (if any?)? I still think he should help out. We need him. The team is gutted right now.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Went to the Colorado-San Jose match on Saturday, and it was about the most boring thing I've ever witnessed live - a dire 0-0 final. Could not have been a worse game, but at least I got to sit right behind Tim Howard for the first half. He made a nice save on one of the 2-3 actual scoring chances these two teams managed to put together.

Other than that the game was completely trash, lol. Luckily we got tickets for $10 from someone outside right before kickoff.

Crowd was actually quite large. The place was probably 90% full.

Didn't take him too long to contribute this weekend.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

I bought my son FC Dallas/Seattle Sounders tickets for his birthday. The game is October 16th and is FC Dallas' last home game of the season and will surely have Shield implications! I'm pretty excited, although it's always a worry on how many fans will show up. The Sounders is usually a pretty good sale, so hopefully the crowd will be fairly strong.

It'll be my son's first MLS game, and while he doesn't know yet, he's going to be pretty excited!

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Some things were just determined for the entry of Minnesota and Atlanta into the league. The coin flip was won by Atlanta, then the two teams alternated picking first priority for a number of things.

Atlanta - First pick in the Expansion Draft
Minnesota - First pick in the SuperDraft
Atlanta - Allocation Order (1)
Minnesota - NASL/USL claims
Atlanta - Waiver/Re-entry draft position (21)
Minnesota - Discovery Ranking (21)

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Final day of regular season today.

Western conference wise, outside of LA at 3, no other spot is secured.
Eastern conference, nothing really decided either. Philly I don't think clinched yet, but unless they lose by a lot and NE wins by alot(alot meaning 6), then Philly would win tiebreaker if tied with NE.

Hoping TFC wins today. A win and nycfc tie or loss and tfc gets 2 seed bye. A tie or loss by tfc, or nycfc win, and they're 3 seed facing Philly or Montreal

Good win by our boys day and I wasn't expecting Columbus to help us out.

We got to beat Philadelphia on Wednesday or this season has been a failure as far as I'm concerned.

TFC gets first ever playoff win! Now hopefully they can carry momentum into 2nd round and beat NYC FC!

It only took 10 years! LOL

First Canadian MLS team to beat a USA team in the playoffs.

They still got more playoff series wins than the Leafs in that span lol.

Cleveland's no longer the #1 joke city in sports, we gotta win something soon!

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

So, eastern conference semi-finals, it's New York vs Canada.

Red Bulls vs Impact
NYC FC vs TFC

No doubt MLS wants a NY-NY matchup in the ECF, but I'm hoping for a TFC-Montreal ECF.
