Monday evening? So much for away travel. What a crappy schedule.

I am traveling for the Giants vs Steelers game that night, can’t wait to ask a bartender “do you mind placing the MLS NYCFC vs Cin match instead of ESPN talking heads. “. That will go over like a lead ballon

This match is also being broadcast on FS1 and FS2 (in Spanish on FS2).

 

[LionNYC]

I’m two rows away from the referee of tomorrow’s match, on the flight to Cincinnati. Any suggestions on what to do?

Good morning.

It is playoff game day (despite what this thread is titled).

Bitches.

Follow up, they're staying in the same hotel as me too!

Okay, I went up to him and AR2 after I had breakfast and said, have a good match. 16 of us from New York are flying in to watch. No controversy please.

Next year I'm bringing a bribe envelope with me for every match with a note inside "You know what to do. - Don".

 

[Gotham Gator]

Yes. I think being kind and supportive buys you a lot more than any other approach, assuming it buys you anything.

 

[FootyLovin]

Home side this round currently 14-1 goal advantage after 4 matches. That's obscene.

Let's reverse some (or all - a man can dream) of that tonight.

Sad to be watching this one from home today. I was hoping to get the kids off to school, jump on a late morning flight, and be on a late evening flight back home. Unfortunatley, Cincy isn't the most active airport in the world after 8 PM. Bummer!

Do we get Haak or Risa at CB tonight next to Martins? I'm curious if Haak has been starting because Risa is still banged up or if Nick feels he's won the job.

don't think either are great choices, but if i had to pick one and both are fully healthy, i guess i'd take haak for this game for his athleticism against a speedy and physical cinci front line.

i think risa is still nursing his injury though. if healthy, i think he will start.

no matter the reason chanot left us.. really wish he was in our backline still. definitely had more confidence in our defense with him back there.

I think more than anything we miss Chanot's ability to organize the back line and the CDMs

Don't forget his mastery of shithousing.

The king of the late-game head injury

9-6 if you adjust for the Vancouver oddity! *NVM that was last round.
