WJMorris3 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I think they really should have used VAR at the end of the Philly/Orlando game, as I think that may have been a handball at the end - and that might have decided the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently they'd have 11 teams playing that year. Columbus should take advantage of having Mapfre available but I don't think they will. They'll have a USL team there I believe, so may as well get as many games there as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Louisville is already coming in next year, so I can see why the LA team is waiting for the following season. Maybe they'll be able to play where LAFC is playing at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Oh my god FC Cincinnati finishes second in the group and advances to the knockout round with a 2-0 win over the Red Bulls. That seemed impossible after that opening game drubbing the Crew handed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If you were to tell me when the tournament started that FC Cincinnati was to make it out of the group stage to the knockout rounds, I would have told you that you would need to undergo concussion protocol. I think I have the concussion now. Both teams could have advanced with just a draw but FCC said no Ill just steal another win.

Seadragon76 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Okay, what the hell are they feeding the guys from Cincinnati? They were drop kicked by Columbus to start the tournament, now they're Round of 16 bound after back to back shutout wins against Atlanta and the Red Bulls.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I was talking to a friend before the tournament that I really hoped some team that never wins anything wins this tournament. Or at least not one of the usual suspects. So if that's FCC, great. San Jose? Sounds good. It's even been a while for Columbus too. And Seattle wins, that's fine too. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 That game against Columbus was their first game since March, their first game with their fourth head coach in less than two years, and it appears Columbus is really good. I think they simply got lucky against Atlanta, and then played a better tactical game last night now that Jaap Stam better understands what he has (or better yet, doesn’t have). They played a more committed game than New York and caught the Red Bulls on a bad defensive mistake and got a lucky bounce on a corner. I would be quite surprised if they make it to the Elite 8 or further, but Im having a fun time with this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tournament has been fun and it was super close from not happening too after both Dallas and Nashville withdrew due to a bunch of positive tests from both teams.

Corvus Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The Whitecaps advance. None of their top forwards, starting keeper has a broken hand? Veteran backup out of tournament due to death in the family? Playing like absolute drek most of the matches? Sure, no problem. Also: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
