I walked into work today doing that. I got an ovation.
Actually I wasn't so much walking as jump-skipping, but you get the idea.
I was thinking today about this run we just witnessed. I'm just blown away by what this team accomplished the last two weeks.
Winning three road games -- but not only winning those games, winning them in the fashion we did. Scoring the ET goal at New England, then allowing one two minutes from time. And we still hang on. Going into Philly. I know they were undermanned, but we were gassed after the previous game, and we hung in there -- and scored the winner two minutes from time.
And now last night -- we are literally 10 seconds from winning when we give up the game-tying goal. One damn clearance away, that's all it was. And the team regroups, refocuses, and gets back to work. I was sure Portland was going to pop one early in extra time. How would we be able to survive losing the title in that fashion? But by the 2nd ET session, we actually had the better of play again. And then we go into penalties and drill four of them right in front of the Timbers Army, and Sean comes up with two saves. And the second save on Valeri -- that one was absolutely incredible.
Our team did all of that. They won three road games in absolutely insane fashion in the playoffs to win the Cup. It's extraordinary. This wasn't just a championship, this was three games that couldn't possibly have been harder or more tense, and three games where we took it to some really good teams. It's just an extraordinary run. This championship run was incredible. I'm blown away.
(OK, sorry. I just had to get that off my chest)

Actually was ready to pull the trigger on this scarf, but didn't meet the free shipping threshold and didn't want to pay for shipping for a scarf. I'm confident there will be plenty of these at the team store in 2022.. i hope. lol. either way i'm getting a new jersey to rock that star .. hope the 2022 secondary is LIT

Finally settling down after a crazy 48 hours. Junior and I had a blast — great seeing a few of you in Portland.
As Jr pointed out, it’s been a crazy soccer 1/2 year for us. Chelsea won the CL, USA won two Cups and NYCFC took the cup.
I made sure he realizes how special this was. Glad I’ve been able to experience it with all of you guys all of these years!
And thanks to
mgarbowski for linking to my Portland sky photo! I was proud of that.

Seriously, it's 10:20 already.
he's always late to any event he supposed to be at. this should not be too surprising.
anyone do the awful job of listening to him blather on and on - did he mention anything about NYCFC and the celebration?
They're talking about covid and stuff and then carlina rivera mentioned it during her report.
Not yet there for the official announcement of anything
NY1 pivoted from the Mayor's press conference to the Governor's press conference about JFK airport.
He'll get to it at the end. Always want to end on a happy note.
yes. it'll be great to see him fake his fandom like he faked his trekkie-ness. lol.
