MLS Playoffs 2018: SKC at RSL, Sunday, 4 Nov 8:00 UST

someone just make sure the guys know how away goals work in regular time and NOT in extra time

 

So if Saturday's game ends tied at 0-0, and each team scores one goal in extra time, SKC advances, right?

 

I think that if the game ends 0-0, SKC advances. If it ends 1-1 at the end of regulation and both teams score 1 goal in extra time, then it goes to penalties.

Yes, last night was kind of comical when the Portland players were celebrating at the end of extra time because they thought they were through then. Basically, goals in extra time count for aggregate, but not as away goals for the tie break.

 

if it ends 0-0 in regulation SKC advances. It'll be tied 1-1 on aggregate and they'll go through on the away goal tie-breaker.
The only way the game goes to OT is if THIS game ends 1-1 and aggregate is 2-2.

To have any shot (even just OT) RSL has to score. If we don't, we won't advance. I don't like this setup for RSL as we simply don't do well in games of "just score".

 

My hope rests with the fact that in a must score match we did score three in LA.

I've been looking at some whole season pass networks for the 2018 MLS season. Sporting Kansas City played the Platonic ideal of the 4-3-3 over all 34 games.

 

Well look at that. SuKC played the 4-3-3 diamond.

 

They should call it The Jared or The Shane.

 

I'm trying to decide whether to watch with friends at home, or go to the BWW watch party in South Jordan. (Beer Bar will be way too crowded, I'm guessing.) What are y'all thinking?

 

Since it will be a daytime game I would say go to the watch party.

If it were at night I would say stay home and watch it to avoid all the Draculas that lurk the city streets.
