PBP: PBP: 2021 MLS Season Game Thread Week 17(?) Aug 4-8

They stopped with an "official" injury report a couple of years ago. In this case it wasn't announced until game time, in the pregame notes on the Rapids website. (Or maybe it was just mentioned in the broadcast)

 

The summer heat and quicker turnarounds on games probably helps, especially when the games are in Texas/Florida between June-Aug

 

I guess but two of them are road games, their only road points of the season, in Seattle and KC.

 

The other was the Pepi hat-trick against a terrible Galaxy team.

 

Union starting 3 HG tonight.

 

Let's go! Time for some MLS!

 

Three matches have begun.

 

I'm watching NE-Philly on TV and Miami-Nashville on the laptop, so of course it's Chicago-RBNY that has a goal.

 

Big save by Turner keeps it scoreless early.

 

Exact same setup here! Great minds, and all that.

 

Chicago scored... again... evidently. I missed a goal and I saw a goal.

 

I'm going to have to open that in a tab so they stop scoring.

 

All the goals happening in Chicago. Just watched the 1st Chicago goal -z an absolute missile!

And the Revs score now. Pretty, team goal.

 

I guess that's a happy BruceFace.

 

NE gets a goal from their political advisor.

 

Watched the 2nd goal for the Fire -- it came off a long throw-in. Wow.

 

Question for any refs in here. When was the rule removed from the throw-in law that you couldn't spin the ball when throwing it? Or was that never in the rule book and I'm just misremembering my youth?

 

RB scores, but no ... offside.

 

Wheels are really coming off for the Red Bull’s right now. Yanking Cassares before the 20 minute mark. Woof.

 

Casseres was subbed out at the 20th? Yikes!

 

That might be the strangest sub I've seen in a while. Subbed out when of your better players lately after 18 minutes when he doesn't appear injured.

 

The Revs have some big guys. They looked like giants on that recent corner kick.

 

Gooiaaalllllll Aaronson!

 

New Aaronson scores. Tie game.

 

BruceFace not shown after the Union goal.
