PBP: MLS Cup 2019 Game Thread [R]

I totally NAILED the audio-sync! Had every word by Garber match his lips.

 

Was that Fredy Montero hugging Morris?

 

✔️ Largest crowd in Seattle soccer history.
✔️ Largest sporting event in stadium history.
✔️ Largest soccer crowd in the history of Washington state.

 

I think for a lot of us it was hard watching this after earlier seeing Liverpool- Manchester City. It draws into focus the tremendous gulf in quality. For all the talk about Toronto FC dominating the game they weren't able to score when they had chances early in the game.

 

I was thinking about the CCL during this. The draw is next month. I'm not sure this match cures my worries about the CCL. I guess we'll see.

 

Maybe the one detraction about there being 2 weeks between the playoffs and the final. But, you have to allow some time for the host team to make preparations.

Anyway, there are probably a lot of us that didn't watch any other game today.

 

Nice.

 

This probably isn’t the thread for you then. Maybe not even the league.

 

Joe Gibbs Racing had a decent day.

 

I see the Jets won what's become known in these parts as the Toilet Bowl.

 

What about Rocco's Oriental Rug Emporium? Oh that's right, they went out of business.

 

So a native Seattleite scores a MLS Cup own goal in Toronto, then Toronto scores a MLS Cup own goal in Seattle. Hmmm...

 

The draft lists aren't due for a week but by 10am tomorrow (Seattle time) some of them could be traded in the 2 day trade window that opens then.

 

Wait, MLS isn't up to the quality of a game between two of the top 10 (top 5?) teams in the world? Shocking that. Next thing you'll tell me is that last night's Cal-WSU game wasn't up to the standards of last week's Patriots-Ravens game. SMH.

I assume that's a random guy selling on a table outside the stadium.

 

Someone send one to Kevin Calabro.

 

Yep, didn't watch any other game today and won't until the 2020 regular season kicks off. I admire anybody who has the stamina to watch year round, but, after eight months of any sport, I need a long break.

Congrats Sounders, Good job TFC. To them and everybody else, thanks for another fun season. Zlatan go home.

Next up, season 25...hard to believe.

 

?

 

When you are in a crazy rush to bring a product to market but haven't quite researched all of the details...

 

Average attendance for the 2019 playoffs was 34,037.

 

I've never seen a team dominate in other leagues but not score.

 

And you could get one for only $10!!
