Who were the blown offside calls against? I just tuned in for extra time.

1 either way. The call against Columbus was brutal. He was onside by 2 yards at least. The linesman was out of position all night.

I can't help but wonder if Precourt shit his pants a little tonight. If nothing else it will be interesting to see what the stadium will look like in the first leg.

Delighted to see Atlanta go out after their treatment of Jozy & Bradley last week. I find it so odd they decided to mix international and club like that - you wouldn't catch any other country doing that. Stay classy USA.

For our first game against Atlanta next season can we get some "Biggest Losers" banners made up featuring the faces of everyone who missed a penalty?

P.S. It was a great game, but the penalty taking was appalling, with a few exceptions.

most entertaining 0-0 I've seen in a long time! I was impressed with Zack Steffen the Columbus goalie, looked good for just being 22. Although the commentary team really bigged up some of his saves.

Can't say I'm upset to see Atlanta go out

yeah, Twellman went full orgasm mode for the saves. but they were brilliant especially the stone cold stand up to deny the panenka. I half expected him to throw the ball back and say "try again punk. "

Kid should go back to Europe next year (was at FC Freiberg for 2 years after school).

Highlights. More hitting the crossbar and posts than I've ever seen.

Then there's all these countries that uses playoffs of some form

Oh I'm aware that it's popular for promotion and such, but major leagues around the world do not use it for the top leagues. England, Italy, Spain, Germany, France - the biggest, most watched leagues in the world do not - and that's who we should hopefully one day be able to compare ourselves to.

The play-offs is in many ways a crap-shoot. We're the best team this year over 34 games vs. a few home and away play-off fixtures. But to each their own of course.
