nice brace from El Maestro last night. was a pretty swell free kick. around the 30 second mark they shift angles and it shows the bend he put on that ball.

I was at that game (you can see me waving the Cascadia flag at the end of the crowd shot). First time I’ve ever seen a free kick scored in person and it was a banger. The window Valeri had to hit to get it over the wall and put it past the near post was tiny.

By the way, the Valeri free kick was not the filthiest goal of the knockout round... this was. Straight out of Karate Kid:

I'm glad Columbus is staying put (likely) and yes I know its effective but they play some gastly Karanka like-@#$% these days.

Isn't their manager leading the race to manage the USMNT?

To be fair, they did just play 120 minutes on Thursday night. They usually play a bit better than that. And yes, Berhalter is the overwhelming favorite for the USMNT job.

Yankee stadium is a horrid soccer stadium. I hope NYFC loses just so I can stop watching them play on the kiddy-pitch.

This Sounders/Timbers match is insane.

seems that way. trying to follow on twitter.

OMFG the Portland player thought they won on away goals.

Guess they forgot extra time away goal don't count.

PK's now.

ilikecheese · November 9, 2018

It's been emotional.

Sounders lose on pk's.

I think for awhile the coach thought away goals counted in extra time, too. This is his first year in MLS and his former league didn’t have two-legged playoff ties.

Anyway, have a great car show, Seattle!

Atlanta may already be through here, can’t believe NY gave up that third goal right before the end

It's fun going from watching the Premier League to MLS where mediocre players like Johnny Russell are top level attackers. Anyone who thinks the US can build a successful national team around primarily MLS players is naive.
