PBP: MLS 2017 Week 33 DECISION DAY Continuous PBP Thread [Multiple R]

Welcome to the final PBP thread of the 2017 MLS regular season. As always, keep it civil and respectful or the mods will go all Baldomero Toledo on your ass.

All times Eastern, national broadcasts noted. I'm assuming the US national broadcast(s) will be announced soon. Portland/Vancouver seems the obvious choice as first in the West is up for grabs.

Decision Day: a day so important that PRO was able to assign trial referees to three of the eleven games. Hail to you DC/NY, MTL/NE, and PHI/ORL, for you are all playing Officially Meaningless Games to end the season. Yeah, the Red Bulls get to go to the playoffs, but they're stuck in 6th place so who cares? Special shoutout to PHI/ORL for not only getting a rookie whistle but a rookie whistle who doesn't even have any other MLS assignments, fourth official or otherwise.

Without further ado, your final regular season set of games and referee stats.

I'm watching an old recording of an MST3K aired in syndication that includes the original commercials. It's a delight. When this aired, the #1 movie in America was THE ROCK.

EDIT: OMG the Corn Pops Mission: Impossible sweepstakes!
