Well not dreadful. Dwyer had a decent shot that Robles stopped, and a couple of minor chances by NYRB.
One of them should be picking it up int he 2nd half.

with promotion and relegation playoffs from one to two and vice versa TFC would have made the playoffs a few times!Originally Posted by Hamilton_Red
And NYRB take one back in the 76' minute. Tie game. This is getting interesting now.
Just as I was going to suggest we snatch up Collin he lets Henry get that pass across.
Wow. BWP left WIDE open.
So NY fans really turn up for the playoffs. So long to these champions.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
Given there were attendance issues in Dallas too maybe its a midweek game with 3/4 days notice that's the problem and not the fans...So NY fans really turn up for the playoffs. So long to these champions.
The NY v DC conference semifinal home and away should be tasty. Would have preferred that as a conf final but whatever. Of note - 2nd leg on 11/8 will be on ota NBC right after a Premier League game (QPR v MCFC).
Terrible excuse. It's the playoffs. A 7 game series found in 3 of the big sports leagues will give 1/2 days notice sometimes, those games will always draw a full crowd. Look at the other poorly supported local team, the Devils, who are bottom 5 during the reg season in attendance, but in the playoffs will fill the house. (IIRC they were at capacity during their entire cup run a couple seasons ago, despite being bottom 5 during the regular season)
NHL playoff tickets are included in season ticket packages.
3 of the NFL wildcard games werent sold out last year.
And it's not an excuse, maybe look at it on a deeper level than "lol fans are shit lol"
Thats not directed at anyone in general but a comment on the overall reaction on the net since the Caps Dallas game.

SKC collapsed down the stretch. Not surprised by the result last night.
Well to be fair, fans in that particular area are shit IMO. Prudential Center and RBA aren't often full or noisy.
The NFL isn't the best example, those ticket prices are criminal and the NFL is a better product on TV than it is live, opposite of both MLS and NHL.
I think in Toronto, under the same circumstance, not only would it be full, but we'd have a profitable secondary market for demand.
MLS providing free live stream for Columbus vs NE. Gonna be a chilly one there today.

20 minutes in and Drew Fischer has almost completely lost control of this game. Could have been reds on either side already.
Playoff game intensity. Two midfield stacked teams. Defense....not so much. As we just saw.
nice diving header by Charlie Davies. that cunt

And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

That was a pretty entertaining first half. Both teams playing with tons of energy, and a great finish by Davies off the set piece.
training ground set piece for Tierney free kick. 2-0 Revs. Really should be up 3-0. Bunbury screwed up 2 wide open looks

The attendance once again is a joke , barely 10 000 in Dallas the other night, maybe 12 000 in NY in their playoff game and today in Columbus maybe 8000 and one wonders that even if TFC made the playoffs would the attendance be that much better well let's hope it would. There are only a handful of teams in this league where attendance is not an issue but for me there are far too many teams that whenever you watch a game telecast from many MLS stadiums you see more empty seats than seats with fans in them. Moreover, when the playoffs come around the attendance from many of these cities is even worse.
4-1 New England. series over

NE 4-2 CLB final after dumb handball leading to Higuain panenka.

Crew not ready mentally. Giving away 4 at home.
As a neutral, well maybe prefer the Revs by a bit, it was pretty entertaining. Lots of goals, bit of rough stuff.
People in n. america complain about "Euro snob" mentality, but every poll (Ives did another a few weeks ago) says most supporters want the Supporters' shield winner to be the champ. There are multiple markets where there just isn't much stomach for playoffs.
Kind of sad that 100 000 will stand outside for a hockey game, but, as soon as the weather gets cold the futbol crowds diminish. BMO had a game today I would have been there!
Soccer is a spring and summer game down in the US. It gets cold, people have to think.
There are exceptions - Rio Tinto should be full tonight. But only us, Montreal and SKC would fill an East playoff game right now.

Yup...just noticed I was wrong. And the Seahawk game next week is on the 9th so should be time to airbrush out the NFL stuff before the 10th.
When we opened against Seattle in season three people packed BMO for as cold and as rainy of a game as I've ever been to. The issue is TFC has never given anybody a reason to stick around and we don't have 50 years of goodwill like the leafs to fall back on.
RSL and LAG are getting vintage Petrescu. Letting them play. Entertaining stuff.
