MLS Discussion Thread

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

It's easy to believe when you remember that MLS is about 1 thing, and 1 thing only. Money. Univision pays them well to televise games in Spanish throughout the season and gets playoff games as part of the package.

The only thing that really bothers me about this is that Garber has spent so much time complaining about people watching European soccer over the MLS.

I mean yeah, of course they do, up until this season you could watch all the games for free on a variety of channels, unlike the MLS that plays like 2 games max per weekend and you are forced to pay for the rest.

The paid service is great for people who are ALREADY loving the MLS, but the main basis for his complaint was that NBC and the premier league were taking all their "new customers".

To be fair, my opinion is a bit skewed by the fact that I think Don Garber is an absolute douche canoe and represents everything wrong with soccer in the US.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

How many times can both of these teams hit the woodwork. Its getting comical at this point.

This has been an excellent game for a neutral fan.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

That was really a crazy game. Lots of good GK work through out. Still can't believe how many shots hit wood.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Twellman was right. That first save in the shootout was incredible.

Too bad Atlanta is out. Atmosphere in that game was great.

So TFC-Red Bulls on Monday night it is then.

He certainly deserves a chance. I wouldn't gripe one bit if it's Horvath, Hamid, and Steffen next month. Why not, lol..

Atlanta United is my son's favorite team, and I've enjoyed watching them in 2017. They've been a fantastic addition to MLS, and I'm sad to see them get knocked out. Atlanta vs. NYCFC would've been fun! But damn, Steffen deserved that clean sheet and win tonight. That was a very entertaining 0-0 match through full time and extra time.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Next round begins tonight. Vancouver VS Seattle.

Don't entirely care who out of west makes it to finals, as long as TFC represents east. Then it'd either be Canadian finals, repeat of last year, best in East VS best in west, or most home wins VS fewest road wins.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

No goals in regulation in the last three playoff games. (Houston's came in extra time.) Yuck.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Seattle is boring. Fluke win mls cup in shootout after getting 0 shots on goal, now their first playoff game since..... 1 shot, 0 goals in a tie.

If I understand the aggregate rule, if their next game is a tie that's not 0-0, Vancouver wins? Obviously whoever wins the game wins the series, but just want clarification on the other scenarios.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

The tiebreaker is away goals, so yes.

In fairness to Seattle they scored eight playoff goals before the final last season. I can't blame them for playing defensively on the road.

Edit: Just saw Seattle had the only shot in the Sea-Van game. One shot combined is a record low for the playoffs.
