Another good Friday nightcap. Sat night's Crew/TFC and FCD/SKC should be interesting matches too, followed by 90 minutes of Oba and Dempsey doing unspeakable things to San Jose.

Its weird, I find myself wanting to root for the Eastern conference clubs against the Western conference because who wants to be in the weaker conference but that of course means wanting Jersey and Orlando to beat someone and gain points in our table.

That said, I fully expect Houston to curb stomp Orlando worse than they did in Charleston. It will be interesting to see if Columbus can handle Toronto coming off that loss to Houston.

Sporting heading down to Dallas should be a clash of good teams. Obviously Portland will be rocking when LA comes in, Portland really need to win.

Chicago might get their DP Accam back when they face Vancouver. Vancouver will be coming in pretty pissed off about losing to Toronto so I Chicago is probably screwed. I think Philly/RSL will be an interesting match-up because I'm not really sure how good either team is yet.

Sounders should blow away San Jose. It will only be interesting if San Jose can get a first goal.

I still think back to that deflection. Stealing a win in Orlando would have been a huge fuck you to all the detractors.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

Orlando@Houston tonight.

Go Orlando...

 

[BxLio91]

Orlando@Houston tonight.

Go Orlando...

Not sure if serious.

Interesting. I am on the other end of the spectrum. I want the West Conference to beat up on East Conference teams except NYCFC.

That must scare the shit out of little kids...

With all the diving they did last week, is Houston supplying life guards tonight, or is Orlando bringing their own?

 

[Gene]

Wow. Why would they start this game at 6:00 in Houston? Hope all those empty seats fill in as the night goes on.

They will.

People will keep coming in all through the first half.

Orlando hugely lucky the Houston player slipped or that might have been a really embarrassing goal...

Not watching right now. Was it an embarrassing missed opportunity by Houston?

Orlando was a little too casual going to collect a ball back by their goal and a Houston player just ran up and reached the ball but slipped and fell. If he stayed on his feet he would have had a shot for sure.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

It happened again!

I think it was Seb Hines both times...

 

[NYCFC 12th man]

Did he get a card this time? I hope he gets find by the MLS Disciplinary Committee.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

34 gone, people still coming in. Never fails for an MLS game on a weeknight.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

Goddamn it, I knew I wanted Tyler Deric in my fantasy team...

 

[Gene]

Deric denies KaKa off the free kick!

 

[NYCFCFan10]

Seb Hines is pretty terrible...
