Wow, another NYRB goal!
RIP Chicago Fire organization.
Empty stadium in Chicago what a joke , how long before Chicago owners want to relocate like Columbus or just fold, it’s only a one game playoff and there is no one there, it’s not like hockey where it’s a 7 game series, it’s only one game in a small 20 000 seat stadium, but yet this league wants to expand when there are too many teams drawing flies.
Looks like we are going to play in Jersey. Fire 2-0 down in first 11 minutes with some really awful defending.
Lots of pundits think that's a tough game for us.
Chicago looking like us at Montreal in 2015. Ugly.
Even the Phoenix Cayotees who don’t get good crowds have sold out their playoff games when they have made the playoffs in an arena in the boonies and not just for a one game affair but actually 2 or 3 playoff games , so your excuses don’t cut it my friend, this small crowd shows that in Chicago no one cares about the Fire or MLS , this league has still a lot of major attendance problems and Columbus is just the start of the domino effect, I know I lived through the folding of the old NASL in 1984.
Red Bulls did look quite good last time they were at BMO.
A bunch of mostly well off mostly middle aged and above white folks in a car necessary city is not a good example.
Chicago has form for this - their last home playoff game back in 2012 had just under 11K.
Again, put our team out in Pickering, near Steeles, not the GO line, and see what happens. That's what the Fire did and they have been actively trying to get out of that contract for years.
Edit: Oh, and Chicago soccer twitter informs that the one transit bus route to that stadium doesn't run in the weekday evenings.

If this line holds, does anyone have information for away tickets in New York? Assuming there will be limited number of tickets released to away supporters. Someone point me in the right direction
Not surprised NY is beating Chicago. Really it’s a battle tested group vs. a team that hit a good run of form during the regular season.
The three days notice stuff is bs imo. The playoff schedule is published in advance and you should have a sense of where your team is likely going to end up seeded. Fire fans should have known before Sunday that there was a strong likely hood they would be playing tonight.

Hmm....if Disco has any cajones, they will red card Robles for that kick out.
Neither of these teams should touch us. The number of bad passes, missed balls, dribbling too far ahead. It's pretty bad.
Welp at least we already know who we play.
Just a little reminder: no game thread until they announce the day & time.
Kemar Lawrence and Felipe coming off with injuries. Very bad for them, and It sucks for them on a personal level.
But, very good for us.
