Soccer is all about home field advantage and protecting it. I like the rule, even though people dont like it because its so "unamerican" but if you can go into someone else's house and beat them or score goals, and you go back to your house and shut them out or they score less goals then you did in the other game, you deserve to move onto the next round

Seattle was dire and that should have been a massacre. Also that ref was atrocious, Sounders players could have been committing actual murder on the pitch and that ref would have let it slide, or called fouls against LA for bleeding on the field.

Hmm he must have been one of the refs EA decided to clone in their fifa game

still anybody's game in Seattle. If LA scores at least 1 away goal, I think that will be enough to get us through though. I doubt Seattle will put 3 on us.

NE will get yet another chance at LA in the final. Bring it.

Seattle were dire in both legs, scored two goals against the run of play but other than that had really nothing going in the second leg either. Definitely better than the first leg, but that's not hard to accomplish because they were garbage in the first leg.

Seattle were just too cocky. They played both games like "we got this boys, let's just wrap this up and go collect our trophy". I said before, Seattle themselves did nothing to prevent a 5-0 hammering in LA, only terrible finishing and magic from their keeper kept that scoreline at 1-0. Same thing in Seattle, would have ended 3-2 Galaxy if not for more brilliance from the Seattle keeper.

The better team went through.

Eh, I thought Seattle played pretty well in the 2nd half last night, but didn't have anything in the final third. LA's chances came on the counter when Seattle was pressing. After a kind of sloppy beginning, that was a really good match IMO. You're right, the better team overall went through.

I think NE is going to beat LA in the Final.
