A 4-1 win will send it to extra time. A 3-0 win or +4 win if Columbus gets on the board will advance us to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Alex Callens is suspended for this match.

We are probably gonna lose the series. At least make it a competitive game. Score some damn goals.

I have a sliver of hope. It's small, and unrealistic, but so is the life of a fan. However, we only have a chance (tiny minuscule changed) if Chanot is playing. White as a CB will not go well.

I’m picturing a 3-0 win with a hat-trick from Pirlo

 

[LIexpat]

Just need to go all out attack, we are going to let goals in so just need all the firepower we have and score way more

Does anyone want three free tickets for midfield?

Never happened/happened 3 times?

Has to be sweat over white. Has to be.

It's worded weirdly, but I assume he means teams have gone into the 2nd leg with a 3 goal lead 3 times, and it's never been overcome.

That doesn't seem any better

Never happened/happened 3 times?

It’s never happened (overcoming the deficit) and that scenario (being down 3) has happened 3 times so far.

Yeah. I figured out what he meant but I just get annoyed when people can’t write. And tonight I’m kind of unforgiving. “In 3 prior instances in MLS history, no team ever overcame a 3 goal deficit.”
Boom. It’s even more succinct.

Does a 2-0 win also send it to overtime? Or the away goals are only worth 2x when breaking a tie?

[Marito]

Sorry, brain fart. For some reason I momentarily had the impression away goals were worth 2x instead of simply "more" in the context of an identical number of total goals.

90 minute death march to end of season.

Wallace-Villa-Harrison
Ring-Herrera-Moralez
Matarrita-Brillant-Sands-Struna
Johnson

Would I like Lewis? Sure, but that's clearly not happening to no use writing it down. We need goals, so we need to take chances with our fullbacks. And Sands is definitely a way better option than White, though I'm sure Vieira will have White in there.

This team is more than capable of clawing this thing back. It wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, and it isn't over now.

 

[Kjbert]

Who cares. Play the fucking kids. Let Sands and Lewis play. Switch the formation to a 3-5-2 as Sweat is a natural LCB and White is a natural RCB.

Go with Lewis and Harrison on the flanks with Okoli and Villa up top. Let Sands play with Ring and let Herrera run free

If you’re being serious, I’ll take them
