PBP: MLS 2019 Season Week 12 Game Thread (R)

Maybe DC should be proactive and go for the MLS 10 man advantage right now. It might be easier on the eyes.

 

except there is no icing when the other team is on the power play. yeah, im a jerk.

 

Doesn't DCU know to double team Pozo and TFC has no offence?

 

TFC has pulled their keeper and two United players don't have sticks.

 

Portland did not score.

Also, Houston-Portland is happening.

 

Toronto with 20 shots at halftime.

 

Ebobisse can't complain about his spot getting taken by the incoming player. He just misses too many good opportunities. Just missed another golden chance. ouch.

 

That was basically a tap in.

 

You need to clarify if you're talking about your wife giving birth or the soccer game

 

Nah man. The tap in was nine months ago.

 

All of a sudden Portland has found their way into the game.

 

Why are closed captioning thanks always broadcast with sound and not captions?

 

Still played better than they did for the start of the season, even when it was seeming like they were doing defensive training.

 

Helluva volley by Auro, helluva save by Hamid

 

Houston scored.

 

1-0 Houston

 

United makes a couple of subs in the 48th minute
Rooney in for Amarikwa
Acosta for Ward

 

Oh, Portland...

I’m sure Brian is itching to get on and bury some of those chances Ebobisse has missed.

 

Valerie and Blanco create a lot of chances.

 

Timbers are this great (and deep) midfield bookended by a below-average backline and keeper, and a good runner but poor finisher up top. Cannot wait to see Fernandez come on, I hope he does.

 

Don't get your hopes up too much. Portland has a bad history with "big money" signings.

 

I think the epidural is called a tap when it is inserted.

 

With Rooney and Acosta in the game, United only have 9 in the box (including Hamid) at a time. That will be a problem for United.

 

United makes their final sub in the 62nd minute.
