MLS Cup Playoffs - October 30 - Philadelphia (Away)

[KevinJRogers]

The one that I am worried about is Talles Magno. We need that dude.

Likewise. It didn't look good. But we'll see. It may not be as bad as it seemed at the time, and a lot can happen in a week.

I am wondering why Talles didn’t just stay off the field and they play 10 v 11. I’m curious if there is like a mentality thing about only having 10. If having 11, albeit 1 just standing there, makes a difference in everyone’s heads.

That's exactly what the radio crew was saying....just take him out and tape him up. No need to risk further injury to have him hobble uselessly.

 

[KevinJRogers]

Could be in his head. “If I don’t leave I’m not really injured.”

I think the idea was for him to stand just on our side of the line to be a potential outlet and keep at least one defender nearby. One less guy for Montréal to throw into the mixer. That's my guess, anyway.

I'm thinking of just buying a ticket to a seat in the main area of the stadium, as I don't think I'll be able to run an NYCFC away ticket. Anyone else planning on going to the main section, and if so, wanna sit together? Maybe we can plan a small group in the same section/area.

I bought a pair in section 132, right next to the Away section. Not taking any chances.

smart. philly fans are generally not very friendly toward opposition.

I think we should complain loudly all week on social media about how unfair this match is due to our missing key personnel.

i'm sure if we win, philly fans will come up with another excuse. my top choices:

1) oil money bought the ref
2) oil money bought players, which is unfair
3) oil money bought modified balls that did not bounce the way philly expected
4) oil money hired spies to sabotage our players so they didn't perform to their expected level.

I had the Spanish radio broadcast going too and they claimed that maxi moralez was fine and it was a tactical change. Of course who knows we’ll find out on Friday on pre game press conference

Nick did also mention something about Maxi getting a knock without directly saying it. Basically saying he “hopes he’s ready to go”, “will listen to the training staff”, etc.

But not sure what any of this means coming from him considering his record on providing accurate injury related info (I don’t mean this as a dig really)

Holy shit where did you buy a ticket? I went to ticketmaster... and tickets are like $100-$200! Where did you find one?

Standing room only as of right now.

Did they say anything about Talles? When he stayed on I hoped it was bad cramp but seems unlikely given a few minutes he played.

Looking like it’ll be 8 pm then. Austin up 2-0, 30 minutes in.

Hey no spoilers. Some of us time shifted.

 

[Shwafta]

I really hope we win this game.

If we do, I have no idea if I have it in me to do another one of those quick trips across the country.

Really rooting to go to Texas instead of LA for just that reason. Although right now, flights to LA are cheaper than Austin right now so

 

[Kjbert]

Austin is a great city and would make for a great storyline
