2024 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs

LAFC take a 1-0 lead into the locker room at the end of the 1st half thanks to a 30' PK from Bouanga.

Vancouver hit the post twice in the half.

Western Conference matches are very entertaining.

That was supposed to be the trash conference, but it can be entertaining as all get out.

I can't say either the Lions or the Crown frighten me now. We've grown a lot. But Bouanga and Giroud are going to be a handful when we meet LAFC in the final.

We certainly are more talented than Orlando but that team is red hot right now, I wouldn't write them off. Our guys better be up for it if we meet them.

Yeah, they're on a heater. And I wouldn't write anyone off in the MLS playoffs. Just look at our own Cup run.

But in any sport, physicality becomes more and more important the deeper you go. We've become a physical team. Quickly, too. At the start of the season, we were getting our asses kicked. Now we are beating people up.

We're not a goon squad, though. We're ballers. We can play. So, bring 'em on.

2-1 final for LAFC.

Red Balls have 1-0 lead over Columbus at the end of the first half. Carbello in the 25'.

 

[Kenny]

Just what I need, after last night. Cmon Columbus, put these fuckers to the sword second half please.

 

[Kenny]

How in earth did that clear handball in the box not get reviewed?

 

[Gene]

Went off the defenders leg first then hit the hand. By rule it's not a hand ball.

Morgan keeps Columbus in the match by coming in all alone on a breakaway and not scoring.

 

[Kenny]

Guess I don’t know the rules, all I saw was a red arm stretched out far from body striking the ball.

Meanwhile, Yankees making the Mets look better, at least the Mets won a couple of games

 

[Gene]

TBH, I didn't know that rule myself until Cangialosi said it.

[Kenny]

what a shitty week this is turning into.

 

[Gene]

Red Bulls hold on for the 1-0 win.
All credit to them.

RSL v Minnesota up next.

 

[canchon]

what a shitty week this is turning into.

Watch NYCFC fluff it against Cincy when they would have had a home game against RBNJ awaiting them where a win gets them to the semifinal.

 

[Kenny]

FWIW, if I were a betting man I still think Columbus wins the series.

 

[Gene]

RSL - Minnesota end the half scoreless.
Not much happening at all so far in this one.

 

[Gene]

RSL - Minnesota end up scoreless.
PKs coming up.

 

[Gene]

Minnesota wins it 5-4.

Charlotte and Orlando are scoreless at the half

Not a bad match. Charlotte out shooting Orlando 7-0. Gallese making a couple of nice saves. And a little chippy at times.

It's Orlando. They're always chippy.
