MLS Week 25 Part 2

[Gotham Gator]

Kicks off in Spanish at 8 tonight with RSL hosting Colorado.

Biggest game tomorrow is Toronto hosting Montréal.

It's a tripleheader on Sunday:
New England at New Jersey
Seattle at Portland
New York at Orlando

 

[Gotham Gator]

Dempsey ruled out of Seattle - Portland match due to an irregular heartbeat.

Gotham Gator this is in fact still Week 25.
See e.g.
http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/08/24/pro-announces-referee-assignments-week-25-mls-season
In typical MLS consistency, the midweek games were counted as Round 25 for Fantasy, and this weekend is around 26, but in real MLS it seems a Week is an actual week and everything from Monday August 22 thru Sunday August 28 is Week 25.
Maybe retitle this Week 25 Part 2 because next week we'll need a new MLS Week 26 Thread.

RSL win over the Rapids just really tightened up the Supporters Shield race.

Can't say I am the least surprised, because… MLS.

DCU leads Chicago 3-2 at the half. Mullins with a brace. What's that, 4 since he's left?

 

[RockShrimp]

Completely bullshit red brings Montreal down a man at the half... ugh.

 

[Seven]

Mullins has the hat trick now

 

[RockShrimp]

Hopefully Patrick got all his scoring for the week out of his system tonight.

 

[JayH]

Piatti!

This is a very MLS week.

- Philadelphia beat SKC 2-0 scoring the 2nd after SKC does down to 9 men.
- That red card fiasco in Toronto against Montreal. Drogba goes out with an injury and so does Giovinco. As I'm writing this PIATTI SCORES! WOOHOO! Montreal hold off Toronto 1-0. A huge win for Montreal and us in terms of the standings. We control our destiny.
- DC beats Chicago 6-2 with Patty Mullins getting a hat trick. HE'S STARTING ON MY FANTASY TEAM!
- Houston is beating Dallas 1-0. Both terms are wearing their secondary kits. Important for supporter shield standings.

 

[Seven]

So the secret to beating Toronto is getting a red card and playing with 10 men

 

[mgarbowski]

Damn, if Houston can hold onto this lead against Dallas and we beat Orlando then the SS race gets, very, very interesting.

Well Dallas gets a PK and Diaz converts. 1-1 60'

And a minute later they make it 2. Fuck.

Barrios who scored the second, scored the third. 3-1 Dallas over Houston. Double fuck.

Ugh. Houston just collapsed. Apparently their first multi-goal against game since May.

 

[sonastride]

All the games yesterday were going just our way until Houston collapsed against Dallas!

And wow Patrick Mullins. We can't have that hat trick nonsense against us when we play DC United.

 

[FootyLovin]

And wow Patrick Mullins. We can't have that hat trick nonsense against us when we play DC United.

It'll be alright. NYCFC 9 - DCU 4. Mullins hat trick. 3 points - NYCFC.

 

[LionNYC]

I'll take a New England win over the Red Bulls or a tie please.

The Red Bulls use hashtags like that of a 12 year old girl.

Seems fitting. Considering their coach whines like a 12 year old girl.
