Obviously it would be great to see Montreal and Philly both win so that we are playing MTL on 2 days rest. But which would you prefer, TOR on 3 days rest or DC on 2 days rest?

Conventional wisdom after our loss at DC last week was that we wanted to avoid them. But that Thurs to Sun turnaround is awfully nice for the team that didn't play midweek.
 
All,

It looks like Toronto is selling tickets for a potential first leg there on Oct 30. I'm assuming they are fully refundable if TFC loses mid-week, but will confirm. Is anyone interested in going? If so, I am happy to buy a handful. It looks like there are still some available around mid-pitch that would probably run about USD$85 plus whatever nasty TM fees there are. I'm happy to place the order and settle up later, but please only let me know if you are definitely in so I don't get stuck having to play ticket broker with a bunch of unused seats that I paid for.

C'mon - its the only historic first playoff game we will ever have!
 
Anybody notice that Portland didn't make the playoffs as defending champion???? I blame that on the Grabavoy Factor - an anomaly in the time/space continuum that reverses all forward momentum backwards or laterally and drains the inertial energy from surrounding players.

First time ever that both MLS Cup teams didn't qualify...

I asked if NYCFC will have a similar program to the trip to Mexico (VIP tickets, travel, and hotel). With the short turnaround (the quickest we would know our opponent would be Wednesday night, if Toronto wins we play Toronto, if Philadelphia wins, we play either Montreal or DC, but we wouldn't know where to fly the plane/train/bus), I don't know if they'll be able to arrange something. But if they do, and it sounds good, and doesn't sound ridiculously priced, I'm signing up.
