MLS Week 19 - 2018

^damn. Incredible.
On another note, scores today and yesterday have been going our way- LAFC tie, Atlanta lose (but of course Dallas won, but we don't care about that for CCL race), and now SKC is looking like they're going to fall to RSL, as well. That's really nice.

The SKC announcers are edging out Atlanta for the biggest homers. It’s so bad it’s hard to watch.

ETA: they are also stupid. SKC ended up with Salloi and Espinoza sent off. Ilie should have gone, too. But the ref wrongly ruled his DOGSO challenge a penalty, so it was only a yellow.

SKC was in full meltdown mode. It was glorious.

Rusnak tried the panenka...Melia doesn't move and saves it. Embarrassing.

Can someone point out a better hat trick than Quintero's? I feel like we aren't talking about this enough. To score 3 absolutely ridiculous goals in one match should be celebrated.

I can't think of a better one anywhere off-hand.

Irwin was chipped three times. Great finishes by Quintero by terrible goalkeeping on all three by Irwin.

I wrote in the r/MLS match thread that Irwin needs a shock collar that goes off if he goes off his line.

It's not like he had gone total walkabouts. I would say his positioning was pretty reasonable.

The precision of those shots (especially 1 & 3) was near perfection.

The kickoff time for this Saturday's match between LAFC and Orlando City SC at Banc of California Stadium has been moved to 11 pm ET (8 pm PT) due to high temperatures in the Los Angeles area, with the forecast projecting that the mercury will rise past 100 degrees Farenheit.

The match, originally scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX, will now be broadcast nationally on FS1.
Gotta respect the league for giving up massive post world cup ratings on big FOX in consideration of the players and fans.

Hope they replaced it. That’s a ratings bump that would probably mean millions next go round.

Dos Dos Santos Bros. on the field already. Surprised. But it ain’t like they did anything elsewhere. Lulz.
 
Fascinating that Seattle’s Frei wins the GK position on the Team of the Week considering he faced one shot on goal?!? And he played NE, not exactly a powerhouse of an offensive team.

SeanJohn easily had better stats, faced more shots, and his team beat a top 5 opponent.
