2021 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs

Would be funny if the first 5 playoff games all went chalk and then we and RSL end up in the final, but that’s a big ask.
we've been a road team most of this season and we got the job done in the end.
i don't know about anybody else, but this teams seems to be much more confident playing in recent games than i've ever seen them before. i like it.
We were pretty much almost always awful on the road this year, to be honest. We had four road wins all year -- Philly, LAFC, Cincinnati, and Inter Miami. Philly and LAFC were both early in the season, so we had zero impressive road wins since May. Who knows what happens in the playoffs, but being on the road is not encouraging.
i consider all the RBA games to be road games.
and i think the team is in a different mindspace right now. there seems to be an unwavering confidence in the way this team plays lately. i wouldn't want to play us right now.
RSL can’t seem to win a single 50-50 ball and it’s rough to watch them. Pretty impressive that they have been able to bend under all the offensive pressure. But it makes sense when you have 11 guys behind the ball and no one on offense
Crazy they pulled off a win by doing absolutely jack shit. Still as a fan you have to be frustrated knowing the likely hood of doing this to win the cup is slim to none.
Me this morning watching the recording of Seattle losing a playoff game on kicks after their opponent takes zero shots all game, then reading the SeattleFC subreddit.

I complain about this like 1-2 times annually, but our social media is never playful like this.

Holy shit dude I'm actually cursed. But yeah I'm so excited to go read the Seattle subreddit! Gonna be a fun one!
Stephen Frye's first shot faced was the first penalty kick. He looked downright uncomfortable after the line violation. Seattle was doomed.
We have been good on corners this year. If a team gives us 15 corners, no chance we don't score at least once. I hope a team plays us like that.

OK my mistake but it's SoundersFC not Seattle FC.
Second, the upvote/downvote counts on this exchange about Ochoa is peak something.
Also, the North remembers (from the r/MLS postgame thread).
It feels so good. Couldn’t sleep last night I was so giddy after PKs. Someone remind me next year to pick all home game victories for the first round except RSL. Cause they did it against LAFC in 2018 and again in Seattle in 2021. I hope they do it again in SKC. RSL: ruining the lives of really good play off teams whenever they scrape into the playoffs.
Seattle won MLS Cup in 2016 without recording a shot on target and won in PKs
Not recording a SOG and not recording a shot are two different things. To not even have a shot attempt in a playoff game is a pathetic, cynical way to play soccer. I'm so glad this team doesn't believe in hijinks like that.
Also, Seattle had something like 3 SOG on 21 shots. They were so wasteful and looked like they were out of ideas for at least the last 90 minutes of that game. So we can blast RSL for being cynical, but Seattle was so poor offensively.
