Umm, if you didn't catch the Impact vs. Pachuca match tonight, shame on you! Wow. What an ending. Stunning. What a phenomenal 70 yard pass, touch, and finish. Go find it. Worth your while. Who knows if Montreal will be playing this weekend but they will be marching onto the Semis of the CONCACAF Champions League.
Came to say the same thing Van...I can't imagine there being much better a memory than being a rookie and scoring a goal like that! Congrats Montreal!
+1, Rookie with his first start (was a sub in the first leg) and his first goal in an MLS shirt -- may be remembered for a while (not technically an MLS goal).
It was a great moment. I was holding in a classic 90+ minute pee. That I happily extended for a prolonged celebration in my living room.

The finish by the rook looked so professional/experienced that maybe we left out the 60 yard, inch-perfect, assist? Who was that guy and would they trade him for LaBrocca? ;>)
I'm not sure what Klopas was sent off for in the dying moments but I loved, loved his celebration of ripping off his sweater and twirling it around while fist pumping the crowd. The pure emotion, of a guy usually well reserved, as he exited stage left was a helluva sight to see.
If I'm not mistaken he entered the pitch by several yards before the official end of time and if after doing that he refused to leave the pitch (ask, tell,) he would be sent off (the third step of the bench personnel discipline 'triad'). Hopefully he wasn't shown a red card -- only players and substitutes deserve or can 'earn' those. ;>)

F***ing awesome! I nearly spit out the water in my mouth and laughed hard for 3 minutes. Who of our current players/coaches could you see doing that??? Powers or Watts?? They are about the only guys that come across as funny or smart ass enough to do that. I would shit my pants, if say, LaBrocca, did this.
I would hope all of them. In the same way that I would hope a coach would be a lunatic on the verge of a meltdown after going 0 for 14 to finish out the season. Hmmm good question, I like the Powers answer.
We miss that guy. Zen Pablo's gonna crack Like Me Myself and Irene. We can only hope that its channeled in to positive on field results.
I was just thinking this. The old Pablo would have definitely done it (in the heat of the moment). The new Pablo has himself under too much control. rod.
I've got MLS Live on for LA and CHI (Tunnel Bear from Canada) and they have Landon Donovan and M. Balboa on Univision with the regular hosts all talking in Spanish. Haha, pretty cool.
Portland's new home shirt probably keeps our new alternate from being the worst (new shirt). "Alaska Airlines passengers wearing a Portland Timbers jersey will receive early boarding privileges ... and pity."
Interesting chant in Orlando. Theyd clear the stadium at the Dick if we did that. Sounds like a fun atmosphere down there.
I couldn't tell you the whole thing but it had "the word"in it. Loud and clear on tv. Something about can't hear New York or some such.
