They're professionals. Why not play them both games?! I'm so confused by how often this shit happens in MLS.. but at a minimum, I thought I was safe to play the damn goalkeeper.

Ha. Same.

 

[zroid]

No Seba, no Jozy, no... problem? (gulp)

 

[SuperSonic1305]

That should be red...

Then again the way we play up a man...

 

[zroid]

keeper's got to save that one

good work by Spencer (!) and Morrow, anyhow

 

[Icolin]

This halftime All for One episode is kinda corny but I kinda love it.

 

[zroid]

omg Vazquez you sneaky son of a bitch

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Vasquez is a smart cookie

 

[Icolin]

Tough but obvious red for Delgado. Just really clumsy and dangerous, not malicious.

 

[ZZMitch]

Yikes Marky

 

[zroid]

Beauty by Oso!

Marky was making a 'my bad' gesture as he walked off. Good on him for owning it.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

You know you're having a bad game when Osorio scores on you.

 

[zroid]

Big 3 points for TFC, but far more importantly, they win the Trillium Cup! WOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Chris R]

Does Portland not have tickets available for purchase by non-season ticket holders for games later in the season? Trying to get something for Sunday Aug 20th against the Red Bulls but the game isn't showing up?

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Opponent gets red = play like shit

Toronto gets red = play like gods

 

[Icolin]

Looks more like Columbus that's a man down. Embarrassing performance by the Crew, and TFC made them pay badly.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

jesus christ toronto

Second half of the season hasn't gone on sale yet.

 

[Chris R]

Second half of the season hasn't gone on sale yet.

Oh ok.

That's kinda strange but whatever. Is there a known date they will go on sale so I can snag one at retail price?

 

[Dr Campino]

And the scary part is that we didn't have Jozy or Giovinco, and we still put 5 on Columbus.

What a performance, especially Vazquez. Making a case for newcomer of the year.

I must only watch the worst MLS matches. That defending for the Seattle goal was horrendous. Amateur stuff holding the attacker.

 

[zroid]

Timbers looking good. Feels like a goal or two are inevitable.

I hope so. I'm so furious at Pro right now. Clear as day handball in the box. I have no idea how that wasn't a pen. Also Dempsey has hit two people in the face so far and... nothing.

 

[Realeza]

Sounders about to pull another 2016-like run.

I agree, but I still think you guys need a DP Center Forward.

Yeah, I have no idea how he avoided a yellow (at least) on one of those elbows, tbh. Though there were a couple that looked like they should have been yellows the other way too (a late game one on Roldan in particular).

Good game though Dart

 

[zroid]

oh jeez whitecaps

two hit crossbars in the space of a minute

 

[Icolin]

Goddamn Hamid and goddamn crossbar.

Time to bring on Brek "goal machine" Shea.

 

[Dr Campino]

Nice dive, DC

 

[zroid]

utterly embarrassing dive. I don't even think there was contact

 

[Icolin]

FUCKING JOKE

VAR SAVE US

SHEA SAVE US

 

[Dr Campino]

Love hearing the crowd react to the replay. VAR can't come soon enough.

 

[Icolin]

What the fuck. Clear pen, but why did it take so long to call it?

EDIT: FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NO

 

[Dr Campino]

And it hits the post! Wooow!

 

[zroid]

literally speechless

 

[Icolin]

Stoica (and his assistants) should never be let near a soccer pitch ever again.

And we need to replace our posts. Absolutely cursed.

 

[Dr Campino]

There needs to be a sport-wide reining in of mass confrontations at the ref. Like, hot damn, shut up and back off.

It's ridiculous.

 

[Icolin]

According to Waston, the ref called a penalty because he thought Waston punched. What the fuck?

EDIT: Here's the incident in GIF from for convenience:

 

[Askani]

Goddamn SKC is starting to piss me off. Almost 75% possession.

SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT. Eight corners. We completed 3 times as many passes as Colorado did.

What did that generate? Two shots on goal. TWO.

Give me a fucking break. Already hearing the "well the parked the buss" whining and it's bullshit. Colorado did what they needed to win. Shoot the damn ball on frame. Do something with your chances.

Unbelievable.

That's sad dude.

Meanwhile me and the rest of Red Bulls twitter is trying to get Taxi some well-deserved pundit love.

 

[Dr Campino]

This LA/SJ match is pretty entertaining. West games tend to be goalfests.

Yeah 2-2 already!

 

[Cystm]

Nah

 

[Icolin]

Robbo went pretty HAM on the ref postgame:

”We should score one of our chances but I think D.C. United came with a gameplan tonight to try and get a point, and they were gifted three by a wrong call and for me, I could say it's okay, but it's not okay. It's not okay. We're talking about professional sports now, so it's not okay."

Dude's probably gonna get hit with the hammer.

And the LA and SJ game was pretty much this GIF in game form:

Pretty bonkers. Nice to see GDS getting into good form once again.

 

[Clydefrog]

USA U-20 playing against Saudis right now on FS1

edit: isn't this during Ramadan? I wonder if the Saudis actually fast during the day for this...

 

[Clydefrog]

gollllll

 

[Clydefrog]

Carter-Vickers red card right before half-time. and he just swore a lot on live television

 

[GRW810]

Glad to see the Red Bulls return to winning ways last night. Comeback victory shows some steel I didn't know we had. BWP marching ever onward to a century of NY goals. If he's still around in 2018 I'm sure he'll reach it then.

US won the group but will be missing four guys in R16. Thankfully we are playing NZL so can overcome that I hope

 

[Icolin]

That Atlanta attack...WHEW
