MLS Week 18 - 2017

So you guys don't start whining.

Toronto at Dallas is the match everyone will want to see Saturday at 7pm. So, of course, ESPN has Portland at Sporting KC (to be fair, not bad either).

That's shitty - non-soccer injury for anybody sucks.

He also was a main cog last year in out playoffs beatdown by Toronto, so I won't miss him in the game

Wasn't non-soccer. Bad challenge, apparently.

INJURY UPDATE. Toronto FC defender Steven Beitashour sustained an abdominal injury in Tuesday’s Canadian Championship game against the Montreal Impact, damaging his pancreas and needing surgery on Wednesday nigh. He is now in stable condition but his return to play is unknown.

Apparently it was a soccer injury sustained during the Canadian Championship.

Thanks. Still shitty to have internal organ damage, but he's a big roster hole to plug that hopefully we can take advantage of.

Beitashour was injured in a nasty collision with Kyle Fisher.

Geez, there was zero intent to play the ball - that was a linebacker hit throwing the shoulder into the midsection. I'm not sure a 3game is near enough for that - that was vicious.

It's in the Canadian Championship so that would be like a 2 year ban

 

[LionNYC]

We want a Dallas win at home vs. Toronto and a Vancouver win on the road vs. Chicago. That would keep us one point out of 2nd and two points out of 1st.

rj-esque.

Oh my. Trouble in paradise?

Kaka breezes by The Best Coach in MLS and goes straight to the locker room after being pulled at 70.

JK is such a wee man in the eyes of the players. He can't gain the respect of his teams other than making them hate him, then he lies to himself that it's the same thing.

RSL is so bad. It really is crazy we lost to them.

Also, New England and Philly must be looking at Orlando's Goal Differential and the standings and thinking WTF did we do wrong.

It was managerial malpractice that we lost to them. Luckily, PV has seemingly learned from that debacle that he can't rest everybody with rotation.

Wasn't even sure which of the two teams you were referring to until the end of the post.

 

[Shawn Ryu]

Nikolic is so good.

JVD with a red card after the match was over.

You have to be really, really dumb to do that.

He's never proven otherwise.

He kinda sums up the West this season - average (return on investment) bordering on dreadful compared to rest of league.

I think he's a good defender. It's the going wild running forward that would drive me nuts.

I really like Jackson Yueill. Kind of nuts Tab didn't really even consider him for a spot in the U20 WC. Seems like he has an right future.

The Quakes seem like they are actually watchable now. I liked the look of them 1000% more than under Dom.
