Come on u boys in green

[Red CB Toronto]

"Super Stefan Frei" !!

[Oldtimer]

Go Sounders?


Go Sounders.


Go Sounders!

Definitely Go Sounders!

[Blindside16]

Go Sounders!!! If they can score 2 at home and hold the Rapids off the score sheet I think they take the series. With Gashi out for the first leg I can't see where the goals will come from.

[Capt.Cro]

Go Sounders until Nov. 30th, after which I'm fairly sure we'll absolutely hate them!

With Tim Howard out, Rapids don't have much of a chance. Let's do it Seattle

[Bobo]

Can't underestimate the importance of a Sounders win. The Rapids do not lose at home. Literally. A one-off game there would not bode well for the visiting team.

[Joe Kool]

Sounders seem pretty confident they will win. They also seem pretty confident that they will be playing Montreal. I guess wishful thinking because that is the only way they will see the MLS Cup game there. We are hoping they win and they are hoping we will lose. Funny how that is.

[bigredone]

I am upset at going from Xbox360 to PS4.

[Oldtimer]

With Tim Howard out, Rapids don't have much of a chance. Let's do it Seattle

Just like with us and our GK, they have a backup (Zac MacMath) who could be a starter on many teams. It might make a difference in a few situations, but most likely they will be fine. Plus Shkelzen Gazi may be back. It won't be a cakewalk for the Sounders, for sure.

[fergiejr]

MacMath will be rusty off the bench. He was playing well before Howard came in, but nerves for such a big game and the fact that he hasn't played in a while will also factor in. But I agree, not a cake walk. I am looking forward to watching this game after ours.

[Canary10]

Seattle needs to win the first game with a clean sheet and they will be in a good position to win it. 1-nil or 2-0 would be ideal. Colorado can't score but they don't concede a lot. Seattle needs their goals in the first game.

[Mateo1985]

Skill wise McMath is definitely up there comparing to the rest of MLS goalies. It's the leadership factor of Howard that they will miss the most imo. But yeah they still got a shot.

I really like them. I want it to be their year but next year.

[OgtheDim]

Rapids actually decided to attack for the first few minutes and it pays off with an away goal.

[Yohan]

1-1

Entertaining game so far

[ag futbol]

Definitely Go Sounders!
Epic final ftw.

[ag futbol]

McMath just stood on his head with those saves!

[Hamilton_Red]

Their second leg is on Sunday... might have to pull the trigger on flights to Denver or TO on the assumption that we will make the final!

[Yohan]

2-1 Sounders on Lodeiro PK

[tfcfans]

Yay!

[Blindside16]

Seattle needs to score early in the 2nd leg and park the bus

[cmonyoureds]

Sounds like another team in another semi-final that I can thing of..............

[Blindside16]

Touche lol

[Oldtimer]

So excited about the match today. Hopefully the green team can pull off an upset.

[General Woolfe]

I take it we are hoping for a Seattle triumph here. Potential home field in the final should we beat Montreal, not to mention avoiding a game at altitude...

[OgtheDim]

I would prefer Seattle because they are a much more interesting team to watch. The Rapids are smash and grab 1 goal win in the altitude specialists.

[Oldtimer]

Home advantage for us means a much greater chance of winning the cup. Colorado is at altitude which gives them a stronger than usual home advantage.

[Redpunkfiddle]

For so many reasons, better that the final isn't played here. Kind of dire atmosphere. Seattle not looking like it at the moment though

[Batman]

Seattle looking pretty good so far IMO. Colorado hasn't shown much so far.

[Mateo1985]

Any working streams fellas?

[Batman]

Stats say Colorado dominated that half.
I sure didn't see it.

[OgtheDim]

[OgtheDim]

Seattle has had almost no ball movement in the final 3rd. They usually pass it through - they've been doing long ball which against that back 6 is just stupid.

[Redpunkfiddle]

Seattle looking pretty good so far IMO. Colorado hasn't shown much so far.

I saw the opposite I'm afraid.

[Kayaker]

I would love to face this Seattle team here..... Colorado with everything so far, except a goal. Sounders have nothing going forward right now.

Well I wouldn't go that far. Seattle has been playing a pretty good game up until this current match. Deadly on the counter as well, a good matchup for us. Definitely better than a Colorado away match though.

[Oldtimer]

I honestly think if we get past Montreal (never a given) we win the cup. We can beat both these teams.

[CBTFC]

Ok, is it just me or is this game lacking any intensity of a conference final right now??

Maybe cause I'm sober and just sitting down to my first pint, but man this is mediocre so far.

Teams are playing tight, as in wound up. No one wants to make the next mistake.

[denime]

Ooooooh Seattle, we love you today, oooooh Seattle WELCOME to TORONTO on Dec. 10th

[Redpunkfiddle]

Goal, scored by MLS Cup Final at BMO

[Cuppy]

Woooooooooooooooo

[CBTFC]

Just as I write that message, Morris scores.

Colorado has to throw it all on the line now. All out attacking.

[OgtheDim]

Goal, scored by MLS Cup Final at BMO

A LOOOOONG way to go to get there.

Wednesday's game is the real cup final I'd say.

[Gringo Starr]

I have never cheered that loud for a non tfc goal ever. This is all shaping up perfectly...

[Kayaker]

Wow, Seattle scores on only their second shot. Colorado needs 2 to force extra time.

[Batman]

I saw the opposite I'm afraid.

I missed the first 15 minutes.. maybe that's when Colorado dominated.

[CBTFC]

84 minute, Rapids need 2.

Not happening the way they're playing, this game's over.

[Hamilton_Red]

Man the pressure on Wednesday's game just went up 100x !!:scarf:

[Detroit_TFC]

Colorado outplayed today. Never really challenged.

[Batman]

Man the pressure on Wednesday's game just went up 100x !!:scarf:

In a good way though.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

Man the pressure on Wednesday's game just went up 100x !!:scarf:

Yup!!!

Win...and we host the fucking final...WOW

[Detroit_TFC]

Man the pressure on Wednesday's game just went up 100x !!:scarf:

Yep. Feeling it now big time.

[Eastend]

Nethier team was even close to being impressive. It's all in TFC's hands now. I think this is their's to lose.

[General Woolfe]

Both sides were poor today if truth be told. I really hope we can get past Montreal on Wednesday because I really fancy TFC's chances against Seattle in a one-off game at BMO

[kodiakTFC]

Jesus.. my heart can't take these playoffs.

[Hamilton_Red]

Hmm..now gotta watch the Grey Cup just to make sure they don't fuck the pitch up. The next three days are going to be brutal.

[ensco]

My god.

Only two games at BMO, against teams that finished 7th and 9th in the standings, stand between TFC and the promised land.

I need a drink.

[Hamilton_Red]

That was a huge win for Seattle. Don't under estimate how difficult it was for them to get that win. If we make the final it will be very tough.

[SoccMan2]

This game shows that Montreal is still in the drivers seat they are already up by a goal before a kick is even made , the pressure is all on TFC not going to be easy Montreal are the favourites because they are already up a goal.

[Gringo Starr]

I think both Toronto and the impact have the offence to beat Seattle, Wednesday really is like the Cup final now.

bringing in Tim Howard looks retarded. Colorado should have used the cash on offence, MacMath was perfectly capable. Shouldn't complain it help gets us Irwin...

[charlieocc]

This is awesome. But we can't get ahead of ourselves, there's a game to win on Wednesday first.

[OgtheDim]

This is awesome. But we can't get ahead of ourselves, there's a game to win on Wednesday first.

THIS... A thousand times THIS.

[Eleven]

My god.

I need a drink. Montreal's 11th not 9th actually.

[General Woolfe]

This is awesome. But we can't get ahead of ourselves, there's a game to win on Wednesday first.

So true...

BUT... TFC will never have a better chance at winning the MLS Cup than this...

[Eleven]

Giovinco loves breaking MLS records. I'm clinging to hope that Giovinco will lead us to being the first team to overcome 1st leg loss in a Conference Final. I believe he can and we will. *Positive thoughts among butterflies in the belly* 😀

.....and the first Canadian club to the final. A HUGE record.

[Cuppy]

Garber is probably in his office now thinking mmmmmmm Sounders 60k capacity vs Drogba retirement party. Mmmmmmmmmm interesting. Lord I hope I'm wrong

[Eastend]

There will be no retirement party at BMO.

Maybe a na na na na, hey hey eh, goodbye though.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

The the first leg was a white wash...it changes nothing....we still need to come home and win...1-0..2-0..2-1...3-2 lifeline..PK's plus my heart attack!!..we have alot of outs.....we are in a great spot..and the reward has gotten alot better with the Seattle win!!

[Redcoe15]

Garber is probably in his office now thinking mmmmmmm Sounders 60k capacity vs Drogba retirement party. Mmmmmmmmmm interesting. Lord I hope I'm wrong
If Garber was thinking about sticking his fingers in these playoffs, there would have been an all New York Conference Final going on. With the LA Galaxy in the mix, somehow.

Besides, you've got Altidore and Bradley from the U.S. side. Wouldn't MLS want to showcase prime members of the U.S. side on a U.S. network like Fox?

[Kayaker]

This game shows that Montreal is still in the drivers seat they are already up by a goal before a kick is even made , the pressure is all on TFC not going to be easy Montreal are the favourites because they are already up a goal.

Yes, but the first 15 minutes will tell us how the game is going to go. If we score, game completely changes in our favour. If no score, we survived their opening onslaught (which I think they will do). If they score, we will be playing fast paced desperate soccer.

[Joe Kool]

Now TFC has to win. It is Christmas season in December so red and green go together nicely.

[Red CB Toronto]

Man the pressure on Wednesday's game just went up 100x !!:scarf:

Wednesday can't come soon enough !

[OgtheDim]

You know, I was half expecting them to treat the Western trophy like NHL teams treat Conference final trophies.

Seattle has embraced it, holding it high, shouting to the world that they are finally in the final. Good for them.
