PBP: MLS 2018 Week 12 Continuous PBP [Multiple R]

Good news! Seattle won't lose this week

 

Is Monday a holiday in Canada? That's bizarre scheduling for MLS.

 

Seattle's had a game later in the year rescheduled to a Monday as well (October 8 vs Houston in Seattle).

 

I guess Monday games aren't as uncommon elsewhere in the world as they have been in MLS, but 3 in the afternoon seems particularly odd to me.

 

114 games down, 277 plus 17 playoff games to go.

ALL-TIME REGULAR SEASON STATS: 5191 games, 3.44 Y/g, 1332 R (0.26/g), 1554 pens (0.30/g)
2018 REGULAR SEASON STATS: 114 g, 22.99 F/g, 3.53 Y/g, 29 R (0.25/g), 46 pens (0.40/g)

And now, your 2018 Week 12 referees.

We're still doing this?

******** it.

 

Sort of. Canada has federal and provincial statutory holidays. The Monday before May 25 is Victoria Day, a federal holiday, but it is not a provincial holiday everywhere. The Maritime provinces celebrate Victoria Day but not as a statutory holiday. In Quebec it is National Patriots' Day. It is a provincial holiday recognizing the struggles of French-speaking Quebecois against British rule in the 1830s. Victoria Day is a provincial statutory holiday in the rest of the provinces and territories.

In practical terms, Victoria Day/National Patriots' Day serves as a sort of Memorial Day-like end-of-winter beginning of spring-summer long weekend.

 

Vancouver - San Jose? Think I'll pass.

Open Cup 2nd round is tonight though. Streams are here: https://www.ussoccer.com/lamar-hunt...ments/2018-usoc/2018-us-open-cup-second-round

Highlights for me are (Eastern time):

7 PM: Erie - Pittsburgh
7 PM: Jacksonville - Tampa Bay
7 PM: Miami FC "2" - Miami United
7:30 PM: Cincinnati - Detroit City
8 PM: Sacramento - San Francisco City
8:30 PM: Nashville - Inter Nashville

It's a shame Chattanooga and Des Moines didn't qualify this year. I always like seeing huge crowds for the amateur clubs.

 

Chattanooga's team fascinates me. I would love to go to a game there. Sounds like they are not one of the teams looking to move to the USL D3. That's too bad.

 

How the hell do you full screen any of this shit

 

Dammit!

 

I wont complain. I have something to do with my espn+ subscription at work Monday!

 

Gotta love the broadcast out of Erie!

Edit: Then after I post that it turns out they do have a higher set camera.

 

I'm just posting here so I get notices for the thread when I sign in again in a few days.

 

Jose Burciaga, Jr. is starting for NTX Rayados.

HOW is he only 36?

 

Looking at the current list of players called up to the national teams for the World Cup shows a bit of a disparity:

12 of 23 teams so far have players called up
8 of the 12 are teams from the West, as are 16 of the 23 players so far

LAFC (4) and Seattle (3) are the hardest hit.

 

Looks like NASL’s savior in the Open Cup will be Jacksonville.

 

Chris Dangerfield is back as analyst for SJE? I already miss Danielle Slaton.

 

The North Texas - OKC broadcast appears to just be someone with their phone and no announcers.

 

Is it me or does it seem like every MLS week begins with Canadian action?

 

And the crowd noise is about 10 seconds behind the action, based on the goal North Texas just scored.

NTX 3-2 OKC
105'

 

That was a nice flashing header from Hoesen, just wide.

 

Who pays to watch the Whitecaps? They suck and play anti-soccer.

Once again, Carl Robinson is the worst manager in MLS.

 

I don't even care.
