A wild 3-3 first half and then a mistake by Chicago gives us the 4-3 win. But not enough from Atlanta in Columbus to host a playoff match.
Wait why is everyone here saying Columbus? We’re going to Orlando?
That has to be some Callens was fighting for. There’s no way the club would be okay with him leaving. If he goes and doesn’t start it would be such a waste.So we're losing Callens for the playoffs. UGH!

With the new quarantine rules in NY Callens should only have to quarantine for 4-5 days after coming back from Peru instead of 14 days (as long as he doesnt get COVID). Thats probably still missing the first playoff game. He skipped 1 round of WC qualifiers but no way can he skip this round too if the Coach wants him.it's WC qualifiers right? it would be a total waste if he doesn't play, but i think he's thinking about being on the squad for the WC. if he keeps denying the call ups, he's not gonna get one come WC time.
I dug into the Opta report and the top line numbers are a bit misleading, because they credit Frankowski with 2 shots 1 second apart at 41:05 and 41:06 that had a 75% chance of scoring each. It is impossible that he could have scored on both of them, because if he scored on the first he never takes the second. Chicago also had consecutive lower percentage shots at 83:11 and 83:12. Account for those and Chicago's xG -- in terms of goals they could have actually scored -- goes down to about 2.75. And they scored 3. Their problem is NYCFC significantly over-performed. People should remember the times we do that.
