They completely dominated most of the extra time and had a few good scoring opportunities. They deserved that dominating PK win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorWhom Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Revs did the worst thing imaginable. They gave their fans hope. Really sucks because i really wanted them to win it this year before they changed the logo. Looks like this is Philly's cup to lose now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Tough loss for NE after tying late in extra time. That's how many playoff games settled with PKs?

Digby Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The crayon flag winning a star on its way out would have been a real nice touch on everything. Too bad. NYCFC seem less of a fluke than the West bracket (entire existence aside) but this feels like another entry in MLS Cup going full lotto.

I guess we (being the league) have high hopes on Charlotte on this front as well? the real problem remains NYCFC and maybe they’ll get to host the Cup final in a hole in the ground that’s too narrow and doesn’t show any fans on television. Really good vibes even before you get to the human rights violations. What a year!

WJMorris3 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The Philadelphia Union are hosting the Eastern Conference Final. Yes, I know it's not silverware. Yes, I know we won some silverware last year. But, funny thing happens when you finally win something. You want to keep winning trophies. Maybe RSL can spring yet another upset and we could be talking a Cup Final in Chester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the four teams remaining, Portland had the highest regular season points total. If they beat RSL on Saturday, the MLS Cup has to go through Providence Park. That would be one helluva a scene.

Digby Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I thought Portland were having an off year. Oops! I'm rooting for Philly though; could use some precedent of Supporters Shield + playoff flameout leading into an MLS Cup redemption arc the following year. Though really anyone but the pukeworthy NYCFC is fine. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The Western Conference can only run through Portland or Seattle. Sorry! Also, go Philly, I guess.

Dilbert Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 FC Cincinnati GM Chris Albright has mentioned that they hope to name their new head coach by Christmas. Sources are saying the top candidate for the job is still in the playoffs. Albright just came over from Philadelphia and apparently is looking at bringing in Unions top guy Jim Curtin or his assistant Pat Noonan.

Digby Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Curtin just re-upped in Phila didn't he? Would have to be real good buddies with Albright (and a fat paycheck) to lure him away I'd think, he's finally got a nice core going with the Union.

An MLS Cup Final at either baseball stadium would be a watershed moment for the League that has strongly encouraged its clubs to build soccer-specific stadiums. Also, the League was better off having a neutral field location for the final instead of having the highest seed remaining hosting the championship match.

Dilbert Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 He did just re up for two years I believe. Cincy wants to buy him out, Philly is saying no. Not sure how Phillys owners are financially but Cincys has pretty deep pockets. I do remember Curtin saying he was very impressed with TQL Stadium when he and Philly visited back in October in former GM Albrights first game at FC Cincy Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt it make it better at Yankee Stadium for soccer with the field set up in its football position? They'd actually be utilizing the whole field rather than just the outfield to avoid the pitchers mound. Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 At any rate, whoever leaked this Curtin stuff has some sketchyyy motives, leaking it right before Philly plays in the ECF.
