3-1 bye bye orlando
3-1 bye bye orlando
on to seattle rsl...big news is rusnak tested positive and is out...morgan on the bench for rsl and ruidiaz and lodeiro on the bench for seattle
morgan enters in the second half of extra time for rsl
pks coming...smells like an upset
And there it is Ashtone Morgan and RSL knock Seattle out
RSL pulls a Seattle 2016 MLS Cup — zero shots.....anyone else cheering for NE to lose so that the whole “best team ever” talk moves on for another year and that 2017 remains the pinnacle? As without the “double” at least, all supporters shields points records since then, have ended with, but they didn’t win MLS Cup.....

Really neat to Seattle get Seattle'd in Seattle.
Ha you beat me to it, that's exactly what I came on here to say!
This was pretty extreme (and funny):
Seattle - RSL stats:
62 - 38% possession
21 - 0 shots (Holy crap, I thought I saw some RSL attempts in the highlights?)
3 - 0 shots on goal
711 - 461 passes
16 - 1 corners
39 - 7 crosses
Too bad, you can't leave comments on the MLS website anymore, I was ready with something snarky...
Yeah. I have a hard time thinking NER is the best ever despite their points total. It’s a lob-sided team in attack that’s fun to watch but I would otherwise say they are benefitting from a pretty mediocre league this year.
Think if it was more competitive they’d be exposed for a lack of balance thought out the squad.
kaye starting for colorado vs portland at 4:30 eastern
mabiala scores in the 90th minute to give portland the win...the dream is over for kaye moor irwin beitashour warner fraser
Before the playoffs started, I said to myself that I won't waste my time watching any matches since our team is out, but maybe just the final. I decided 2 hours before match start to still watch this one.
Kaye had an average game... Was substituted about 15-20 mins before the 90th minute.
This said, Colorado had a pretty dull game, with a truckload of crossings, and it was very evident that they badly need a game changer, or at least a poacher, which they do not have.
Anyways, first half was all Colorado, at the end of which they should have been up at least with 1 goal, but in the second half Portland was a lot better, with lot more clearer chances.
It was a deserved qualification for Portland? Hard to say... maybe 60% to 40% it was on merit, for what they have done in the second half.
But at the end I think the value difference of the two lots had a say in the result (Colorado has the lowest total team salary, and I don't think it's a coincidence), plus the incomparable more experience of Portland in these kinds of matches.

So Ashtone Morgan is last man standing carrying the flag for us now. I see he got into the game the other night. Nice.
(I also am cheering for Nashville and Alastair Johnson, for obvious reasons. I have become completely smitten by that player. We have to pay whatever it takes to get him in here.
Love Tajon too but cannot root for Revs. Too many games on that shitty turf over the years. I just want him out of their before he gets injured.)

RSL @ SKC
RSL may try to "Seattle" SKC but SKC will get it done.
Nashville @ Philly
Man, this game could be real ugly to watch. Philly should come out of it as they are more consistent defensively right now.
Nashville vs. RSL in the final would be boring as heck.
these are not conference finals but semis...winner of skc rsl faces portland and winner of philadelphia nashville faces winner of new england nycfc
If you have access to TSN direct streaming, looks like one of the (bonus) streams is without commentators in the SKC-RSL game.
The sounds coming from the supporters section sounds so natural!
Of course just as soon as I mention it, looks like that stream with no commentators has disappeared
Rsl does it again bobby wood 91st minute...they are going to the conference finals
nope it was just one game in october...his level is way above usl
mukhtar does it again!!! 1-0 nashville in the first half
gazdag equalizes right before the break
His level was way above USL five or six years ago, before repeated injuries in Germany took his speed.
He had 3 goals in 19 games for RSL this year, so I wouldn't say he's "way" above USL now; I imagine there are a few USL strikers who could do better than that in MLS.
He also only got seven starts, which doesn't suggest he's considered a starter any more.
Wow, I really thought Nashville would dominate Philly but it's been very even so far. Nashville looks one mistake away from giving up a lead.
except its not all about scoring...in germany he was very rarely a high scorer but lasted a long time in the top two tiers and always got contracts...gotta pay attention to his play and what he does...and that goal he scored today a usl player isnt scoring...the movement the run the finish and in such a big game...beautiful...still 1-1 late in the philly nashville game
going to extra time in philadelphia
