PBP: 2018 Match Day #29: Seattle Sounders FC v. Union, September 19, 2018 p/d/p

Weird...I did the EXACT same thing. I remember the end of the first half, then the next thing I remember was Simpson coming in, then the card and the goal.

 

I thought about staying up to watch this, but didn't see the point. Way to prove me wrong Union.


Maybe we pull off an upset on Sunday against SKC and go into the final on a real high.

 

Extremely harsh on the VAR. He's probably offside, but I'm not seeing how they overturned that.

 

The american football lines screwed us.

Unfortunately he was right on a line when the ball was played, so there was no question of camera angles. No lines and the goal likely stands.

 

Another seemingly unbelievable stat I just discovered...the Union are tied for 2nd most away wins in MLS right now.

 

Football, bloody hell. Those of you that stayed up got to see one of those unexplainable, unexpected moments of joy the game throws up every now and again. Is it too much to ask for another one in Houston next week?

Yesterday I was reading stories on mlssoccer about their winning streak, wondering how long it would go on, how the schedule was set up nicely to extend it... yeah, some hubris there.

 

and as a cherry on top, Columbus lost to Portland.

 

Anybody catch Gaddis's injury? What Happened?

 

Curtin said of Ray Gaddis that, "we'll maybe lose Ray with an ankle." We'll see tomorrow what his health level is.

thanks!

 

What was up with Dockal?

 

Kept home as a precaution and should play on Sunday.

 

I think they will rest Dockal again on Sunday. They really want to win on Wednesday. $$$$$$$$$$$$

 

It just occurred to me that Seattle pulled off the classic Union stunt: "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory", in stoppage time, and in front of your home fans last night. Wonder if anyone has pointed out to everyone's favorite fans that Philadelphia invented that...

 

I thought the MetroStars invented that???

 

Perhaps (I haven't been flowing MLS that long), but either way the Union certainly perfected it.
