    That has to be a tie game on that free kick earlier. Ouch.

    Only thing more bizarre is this Popeyes Chicken Sandwich thing. Had one the other week and it was decent enough. Suddenly there are lines around the block for them and they are sold out?

    Also, 2-0.

    2-0. Hmmmm, I guess Quintero should be starting.

    I mean, the only reason they lost this past weekend was because of his lack of effort at midfield on a turnover. That said, Metanire has been garbage this game.

    This is what I thought I was going to get when RSL hosted DCU in the final in 2013. Instead I got Lewis F-ing Neal and a 1-0 loss.

    Yeah, called my parents today (who live 5 states away) and my mother informs me that my father was out at that very moment on a mission to get them a few of those chicken sandwiches, for the first time. I still haven't tried it.

    Garbage is an understatement. I made a comment about the Loons #19 not even giving any effort in the first 10 minutes of the game. I had to look up the lineups online to find out it was Metanire. The dude has been straight trash.

    On behalf of Atlanta I apologize for the all too juvenile "Ref you suck" chant. Can't control everyone.

    Sorry Taylor, there is no legit argument that is a foul. Opara braces himself for the contact. He is actually in front of Martinez. Keep your head up next time, Josef.

    It will be interesting to see how they respond if they do get blown out (hell, or even just lose). They have a horrendous schedule to end the year (home and away against LAFC; home against RSL and SKC; away against HOU, PDX, and SEA) and could find themselves fighting for their play-off lives. Can they shake of the disappointment of losing a cup final and be up for the fight they likely will find themselves in?

    Ah, TT still doesn't understand the offside rule I see.

    Hmmmm Twellman thinks Miles Robinson's issue is with his feet coming out of the back? He is watching a different guy than I am. His problem seems to be defending in space (awareness), not technical deficiencies playing the ball.

    My favorite individual matchup is Taylor Twellman vs the English language.

    That match up is too one-sided for my liking.

    35,709 listed attendance, which means they're counting butts in the seats tonight. Feels like more, which is testament to fans from both teams I say. Been a good atmosphere.

    They said it was not part of the season ticket package, so i presume this is still equal to tickets sold/distributed.

    This will probably curse them - but great work from the linesmen who have made two big and correct calls tonight.

    I'm thinking Quintero is out of MNUFC after this year. Sort of think Angelo Rodriguez goes as well. Chacon is Darwin's heir apparent and Toye is likely replaced Rodriguez. Opens up space to upgrade at other positions (like CB where they are sort of older right now).

    Hahahaha, Gonzalez Pirez gets himself tossed.

    What a dumb way to get a second yellow.
