MLS Week 21 - 2017

[Gotham Gator]

Opened last night with Philly spanking Columbus who ended the game down 2 players.

No games tomorrow (Friday). Things get going on Saturday with ESPN broadcasting Atlanta hosting Orlando and the shittiest referee ever to walk the pitch.

Saturday night has the big interconference matchup with Chicago heading into Sporting KC.

Late Saturday features the Galaxy rolling out the Sounders' old coach to help welcome them to the StubHub Center.

Only Sunday game is our big game in Toronto.

Tuesday is the All-Star game, which kicks off one hour after the FC Cincinnatti - Miami FC US Open Cup match. Wonder how many people will change the channel.

Atlanta absolutely dominating Orlando in the midfield, but can't get anything going inside the box, kaka scores against the run of play. Orlando completely bunkered, and Kreis thinks the match it pretty even. Lol
Higuita having a Michael Lopez like game.

And Atlanta scores in the 92nd minute for a 1-1 tie. Kreis just kissed 2pts goodbye and it was beautiful to watch. I swear though, Bendik has gotten so lucky vs us and Atlanta- we've collectively made him look like an allstar.

OTOH, nothing can save Alan Chapman from looking like an asshole. He's fucking shit.

Chapman let so much go at times it looked like recess soccer and kicking the crap out of shins. When that wasn't happening, Atlanta was playing keep away.

I missed what happened with the mass tussle. Did somebody get popped in the face and only a yellow was issued?

Last year, after the 2-0 loss to NYC, the Red Bulls didn't lose again in the regular season. Really hope that isn't going to happen again this year

Well, we play them two more times so it's unlikely.

In a nervy final ten minutes, SKC hold off Chicago and win 3-2. So after 21 games a piece it's...

TFC 40 points
Chicago 38 points
NYCFC 37 points

A win tomorrow puts us as the best team in the league.

Kind of like saying we'll either be just a good team that plays pretty soccer, or very much something more than that.

Yep, and if we lose both Atlanta and - cough - the Red Bulls - are in striking distance.

This game is pivotal.
