Regular Season Finale Gameday Weather and Transit Report, brought to you by The Complicated European Ticket Buying Process™

Weather: Cool to cold
Temps around 60° at kickoff with maybe a few clouds. Sunset at 6:12pm.

Transit: Ugh
trains are a mess. No service between Manhattan and 74th Street at all. From 74th Street trains run express to Mets-Willets Point, local on the way back. Board Flushing-bound trains on the Manhattan-bound platform. There are replacement shuttle buses (Q107) running between Queens Plaza and 74th Street. You can also take the LIRR at Penn Station, Grand Central, or Woodside at no additional cost.

Here's a map of the changes: https://www.mta.info/image/189196

Reminder: The match is at 6:00pm. Don't show up at 7:30!

Seth you are a life saver. I would have showed up at 7:30 very upset. And finding the map of the changes for the weekend? *chef’s kiss*

Thank you for your service!

I guess I wasn’t the only one confused. I thought the match was 7:30 as well. Did it change recently?

Don't think it changed but it is <air quotes>Decision Day</air quotes>. All the eastern matches start at the same time irregardless of the time zone (western matches are at 9pm Eastern). It's not just youse, it's probably a lot of people across the country (and Canada) who have odd kickoff times today. Nashville: "Whaddya mean the match starts at 5pm?!?" LOL

Using AI for a grammar check is like using a fork to eat soup.

I think you mean grammer check

More like a spork

Just looked at ticketmaster and they have very few non-resale tickets remaining for this game & are even selling in the 400s. Looks like a really good crowd tonight.

 

[moogoo]

seattle came organized and executed.

we didn't play with any attitude/swagger nor fire despite having more at stake.

oh well. win 5 games and we lift the cup. it's that simple. hope they are able to find their killer instinct and lock in for the playoffs.

The home team losing the final regular season game at Citi Field. A tradition like no other.

We were awful tonight, but Penso was an absolute disaster. Both of Seattle's goals came off miscalls from him. As bad as we were, he robbed us.

Seattle was ass too this game. They just scored on set pieces that penso gave to them.

 

[GratefulDawg]

I'd like to thank Messi for not forcing us to play Messi in the first round.

Poor set piece marking and not enough chance creation.

 

[Kenny]

This part is fact. However, I think Seattle was better on the night and probably deserved the win.

I can’t recall if this happened in recent years but I remember it during the Villa and Ring captain years. Did Martins or anyone else get on the mic for the whole stadium at the end of the game?

19 to 6 fouls. Seattle were diving like salmons. That Maxi foul leading to the Seattle second goal was terrible.

 

[Kenny]

That Maxi foul leading to the Seattle second goal was terrible.

The first goal, no?

My dad was at the game with me and he doesn’t know soccer that well and even he thought that was ridiculous. It was barely a shoulder barge

No one got on the mic tonight and yes, that definitely happened in the Villa/Ring years. "I can't hear you, did you enjoy the show!" Then Sean announcing Taty's Golden Boot. It absolutely used to happen.

That jerseys off their backs ceremony wasn't great, too. Took forever to start -- by the time it started security was kicking fans out of the stands on the third base side of the field.

Seattle really was diving like crazy. Then they were time-wasting when leading late and he never did anything about it. He was incredibly one-sided, and I seem to remember other games of his like that too. Wasn't he the ref when we went down to 9 men against the Red Bulls?

Yes, that one was not a foul. I also thought the corner they scored on went off the Seattle player last. They scored on two bad calls from Penso.
