2022 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs

[moogoo]

Well, all I can say is we have important business in Canada, and CF Montréal is going to be a tough one. They may have been the best team in the league on a consistent basis since the end of July. But if things work out the way we hope, our trip to Philadelphia is something I'm really looking forward to now.

since we're at this point, i would love to rematch philly.

and i truly think we have a chance to win in montreal. it will be a game decided by the midfield and this time we have an in form acevedo and (while i love the kid) haak is not starting. whoever controls the midfield will win.

fun game so far! LAG back in it

it's ok. that was such an ugly game. it literally could have gone either way. the difference was philly had blake. end of story.

And unfortunately will have him if we make the final. We are gonna have to practically walk it into the goal. IF we make it past MTL.

Funny that I’ve been watching out of market playoff games this year. I don’t think I’ve done that since like 2000.

 

[moogoo]

holy hell. this el trafico is wild!

 

[Shwafta]

holy shit what! a! goal! by jovelic! The guy just came on, too!

That was a great strike

All of us cheering for LA Galaxy to increase chance of having a final at home

i'm not worried about it. we've scored on blake before. we can do it again. gotta get past montreal first.

we need to focus on the game ahead of us though. gotta walk into stad saputo and show them what the champs can do.

that was one of the best games i've watched in a long time. Congrats to LAFC, deserved victory all things considered!

yah LAFC looked dangerous.

huge contrast with how Philly looked. Didn't look like a team that was steamrolling opponents in the summer.

They're not the same. Lost a little mojo.

Damn but the Union fans are this weird combination of arrogant, battered, superior and resentful. I mean, I get it's Philly, but it's really another level right now. If we do get past Montreal we better damn win in Chester. If not, Sons of Ben will be making TIFOs about the 2021-2022 Union-NYCFC sequence for decades. Which will be pathetic and funny in its own way, but it will really suck for the next 2-3 years.

Remember, Andre Blake has been in MLS his entire career, meaning he is at the level where you're good enough to have a solid MLS career, but not good enough to go abroad to a better league. I believe it was 2019(?) playoffs where Philly got knocked out in a game where Blake was horrendous.

He's good, but he's not invincible.

But let's beat Montreal first!


Edit: in 2019 Philly actually beat RBNJ 4-3 despite a very poor game from Blake.
