While I think it’s important to succeed and advance to the conference semifinals, I’m going to have to disagree with you on the idea that the season all hinges on this one game. Sounds like you’re putting a whole body of work on just one set of 90 minutes. If we are grading the whole season I’d give it a 76%. Just passing but really has a lot of work to do. I hope the product improves even just slightly next year from this Jekyll and Hyde season where we don’t know which NYC team will show up for each match. I’m happy we made the playoffs, but I don’t think I ever expected them to get past this first round at the end of Game 34.
That's fair enough. Given the way we started the season, I'm happy with where we are. But I think we're good enough already to go deeper.
He was everywhere tonight. Great game. Haak had another great game, too.
great game for Haak, including converting his sudden death penalty kick.
Not only did he bury that thing, but he was up for the gamesmanship. So was Mitja, by the way. He was grinning at Celentano before his PK, so you know the Cincy goalkeeper was chirping at him.
For a guy who got completely bodied on a goal by Cory Burke in the playoffs two years ago, I like his swagger now.
If that makes all the seats filled it will be a special atmosphere. I hope they pull a Philly and limit the cows to 50 seats.
Part of me wanted this to go to the 11th round for Freese to win it, the man has literally done everything else for this team
