MLS Cup Playoffs - November 7 - Charlotte (Away)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
yes it will be Friday but at noon? on a Friday? they really smoked charlotte attendance wise if that happens.
I made mention of this on another thread. I haven't been able to confirm anything yet. I'm guessing they need the time to convert the field, hence the noon kick off.
I also posted this question to Roberto Abramowitz on Reddit and Glenn Crooks on Twitter, but haven't had any sort of reply from either.
they'll still announce a "packed house" of 30K+ like they did last night haha
in a way it sucks for them, they do have good fanbase but rain/tuesday/ 6:45 kick off did them no favors. still it looked kinda 23K ish in attendance so not terrible
if oniell and gray get yellows this game, they will be suspended for the conf. semis (if we make it there).
hope jansen goes all out attack this game and the boys are up to it. started this season having zero hope for this team to win anything but now that there is a slight glimmer, i find myself all aboard the "we can win MLS cup" train.

12 pm on a Friday is insane

A 12pm game on a Friday would be absolutely insane. It would be hypocritical from this league that never gives us a break on our stadium situation. If the only time Charlotte can host the game is noon, MLS should move the game. No one will be in the stands, no one will be able to watch on (TV), and it's a deciding game in a playoff series! Play it in Raleigh or Durham. Play it in Nashville. Find a place to play it when it can be Friday night.
I guarantee if the show was on the other foot, we'd be moving to Sports Illustrated Stadium.

Raleigh or Durham would be awesome. I could actually go.
Feeling bummed about this format. Would rather it be first to 5 points.

7pm game on Friday. Official.
Couldn't agree more. Penalties should only break a series tie.
Intrigued by this. I take it if the 3 games go 1-1-1 and each team has 4 points then you have PKs?
or 3 ties and they both have 3 points.
You also need to eat the same things. See the same people. Say the same things and go to the bathroom at the same exact times. Everything is crucial. Take one for the team man

There is a scenario where we tie the game, lose in penalties, we are undefeated in the series and yet also lose the series.
Would much prefer each game go to extra time before penalties, or at least a combined points scenario. Even if it's 2 points for a SOW and 1 point for a SOL, it would still protect from that scenario happening. This is a crappy way to decide postseason games.

Yeah - extra time and pks in game 3. I think this way arguably gives too much value to pks. You could have 3 ties and three games settled by pks - no one thinks that is a good way to settle a best of 3 I would think. I’m sure they think it’s the most entertaining.
We have a win and a draw and are on equal footing - that doesn’t seem like a good system to me.
