Is this going to be one of those where Seattle does everything, BUT score, and we get a PK in the 70th or 80th minute to win?
Elfath is the WORST! That wasn’t clear and obvious. Jay Simpson cameo And Elliot picks up his second yellow........
Not a PK, and a little later than I thought...but Seattle learns the hard way why you don't let teams stick around in a match.
Victory (egg salad) Sandwich!. I’m going to start going to Vegas with all this optimism - ******** YEAH!
A short-handed goal instead of a penalty, and they saved it until stoppage time, but not a bad guess.
Literally none of us saw that coming. Tip the cap to them. They have every reason to start the collapse like they do every year, but they grinded one out. The winning goal coming at 1AM on their circadian clocks, to boot. I'm at work. I jumped up, fist pumping in the air, and knocked an entire shelf of Z-Paks over when Fafa snuck up and stole that goal. Customers and coworkers looking at me like I'm crazy.
And Simpson's run that he had to pull back on kinda sorta indirectly in some remote way led to the bad clearance which led to a turnover that led to the goal. So we may have a new contributor on offense!
He was offsides. Pretty clear on the replay. Really stuck in there and had me just hoping for a tough road draw. This is a massive 3 points that was not expected and makes up for the loss at home to Montreal. It was not pretty but Ws are Ws. Columbus losing also puts us right back in the mix for 4th. Lets see what happens on Sunday with hopefully a mix of backups. Wouldn't be shocked to take an L on Sunday.
6 road wins this year (Montreal, Chicago, DC, New England, Houston, Seattle). Do we want the away game in the playoffs? 8 points clear of DC with 6 games for them left. Thats a lot of ground to make up for them to catch us and jump over the Impact. DC also plays Montreal next week. 7-3-1 since July 11th. 2 ppg.
1 (2 really) is enough Winner, winner chicken dinner! I'm still waiting for MLS to decide that having a player sent off in a game played mid week that is a makeup from earlier in the year comes with a one goal penalty so it will actually be a tie
So long as they take care of business and don't lay an egg against Minnesota, they are now ahead of my projections.
Unbelievable! Not going to lie, I fell asleep on the couch at halftime, but I DID wake up in time for the red, and then was able to see the goal! Was wide awake after that one! So crazy! Props to Fafa for still having that motor to be running like that after 90 minutes! WOW. EDIT: Holy shit, just saw the offside call... that was BS.
