This POR/SEA game is kinda hot. 

I'm flipping around before the Austin FC game. Montreal is playing New York RB. One of them is wearing white. One is wearing black. This is what the scoreboard looks like.

 The MLS team needs to spy on a lower division? Embarrassing.

Final is at 7 central on ESPN+. Was looking for something to watch tonight. This works. 

Granted - not listening to TT would have made this better. 

Something something beggars, choosers.

ESPN+ does have the Spanish feed. 

I just flipped it on (flying), good stuff from what I’m seeing.

Yeah this has been a quality match. 

I may flip on the Spanish feed. I need to work on my Spanish - interact with a lot of ESL folks at my job. Want to get close to fluent. 

Orlando is doing a lot of whining and bitching for calls. Not gonna win a domestic cup that way.

So if US soccer wanted to have this one in a neutral stadium, where should they have it?

NYC would be great, but not a fan of the turf.

KC? Arrowhead would be solid.

Thoughts?

Arrowhead would be great.

And this is a great little game. Hope me and @Captain Ron aren't the only ones tuned in.

Just sloppy enough that both teams could score. It’s only 0-0, but a fun 0-0.

You guys are missing a good one. 

Welp. This is done. Hell of a run by SacTown.

Dang. Missed the end when my kiddo decided Netflix > daddy watching soccer. Oh well. Sacramento made a great run. Too bad they couldn’t close the deal.

Having a kid trumps watching the end of that. OFC asserted themselves at the end and put 3 in.

Yeah I saw the final tally. Not much of a shock (the result) if the margin ended up being one.

These guys don’t deserve the attendance record.

This is spot on, I have as much interest, maybe more in Wrexham than Austin FC.

 

Just note the 1 month later tag...

FC Dallas vs Minnesota 

FS1 . . . Starting shortly. (8:30pm?)

I think that these are all single elimination matchups. Gonzalo “Pipita” Higuaín was crying on the field because he had stated that he would be retiring at the end of the season. 

He will never blow another final in his career, but his run of blowing goal opportunities in international finals in three straight years will likely never be matched.

The MLS website has the whole sequence up ahead of that goal.  Seemed like a couple of dozen straight passes starting from the goalie leading to that.  Was really pretty.

Loonies with the opening goal in the 53rd.

One of Dallas’ many Argentine’s with the tying goal. 

Then Dallas gives up a goal just seconds after the restart, but it was called offsides. 

what does GERGG see in Ferreira? His style of 9 is nothing like what we are trying to do at the international level.

For the MLS tournament

Could we please get Arriola, Jesus and Lleget to get non joint/serious 45 day injuries just to ensure USMNT rosters? Like a tattoo infection or a sneezing injury.

Jesus Christ. Is that the FS1 Studio? Or is that the Fox broom closet? They look like they are stuffed in that set.

I could be wrong, I don't watch Dallas at all, but isn't he more of a 10/second striker for these guys?

 

EDIT - the fact that he is the one taking corners tells you all you need to know.

Yeah that’s what I mean. GERGG wants him as a target man but he’s a 4’10” poor man’s Zardes

What are you talking about? Didn't you see that strike with him  wide open 6' out? That was EPICly bad

Lol this Frisco FC team is chock full of usmnt spares. Where’s bedoya?

That's a pretty harsh handball call. I'm not even sure his arm wasn't tucked against his body.

A small note on that Wrexham vs MLS thing:

Decision Day in the MLS only saw 2 games broadcast nationally: RSL vs Portland on ESPN2 and Orlando City vs Columbus on FS1. Both of these games were the East and West 7 vs 8 matchups for the team that would make the playoffs. Their TV ratings were:

East FS1 - Orlando City vs Columbus - 54K viewers
West ESPN2 - RSL vs Portland - 103K viewers

ESPN2's first Wrexham game drew 89K viewers.

None of these numbers include streaming numbers.

 

But it really goes to the point that was made in post #169 above. Reynolds and McElhenny are telling a story with Wrexham and they have drawn genuine interest in the club, the players and the people in the city. That's huge. The MLS should have already seen this with Drive to Survive (F1) and realize it is an avenue to build interest in the league and clubs.

Had tickets to El Trafico last night but Covid had different plans so I couldn't make it, but holy shit what a match. Hopefully going to the semis.

Denis Bouanga has been a revelation for LAFC.

Clusterfuck City at Exposition Park tomorrow.  LAFC hosting MLS Cup at 1, SC hosting Cal at 7:30.  BUT, SC controls ALL of the parking around the coliseum, and have told MLS that NO soccer parking will be allowed.  So everyone going to the MLS game has to arrive by public transport or ride share.

I live near an Expo line stop so that's how I always get to games, but yeah, a pain in the ass for a lot of people.

And it's a great way for people to get there, but EVERYONE?  They also have a shuttle from Dodger Stadium, but that's a pretty long haul through super shitty traffic on the 110.

to late to move it to sofi? would be dope

There was talk of it last week but I'm honestly glad they're keeping it at our home field. Would feel much more like a neutral venue if they'd moved it and I'd be really annoyed if I couldn't sit in our usual seats.

 

No tailgating allowed at Chavez Ravine…

This kind of demonstrates the clown show the MLS is. Not having a dedicated championship location means they can’t command the area around the stadium. And they don’t have the size/pull of MLB or NBA to dictate terms on the roaming location.
