    I was thinking the same thing.

    I wonder why more goalies don't just hold there ground?

    LAFC gives up a goal, marches down the field, and gets a PK. 1-1 in an instant, except Vela has a weak penalty. Madness if you had told me that would happen.

    Is it just me, or is this a wild post season? #2020

    I second that. A lot of takers either go down the middle, stutter-step, or wait for the keeper to move & try to go the other way. Left side & right side are the other options. But staying put helps if the taker does any of the first three.

    In my view, it is the smartest play, unless you have a strong read on the taker.

    I know. It's a guessing game anyway, and more and more shooters like to go down the middle.

    Once you get to the playoffs, anything can happen. Think of the Cardinals in 2011.

    Garber's head is exploding. Both LA and NY teams out. Atlanta, out. Portland, out. He's probably putting all his bets on a Seattle-Orlando MLS Cup so let's give him a HSG original, Dallas-Columbus instead.

    A bad dude, but one of the greatest to ever grace the pitch.

    I was too young to watch Pele in anything but the NASL. Though I think he is head and shoulders the GOAT.

    But Maradona, Messi, Zidane, fat Ronaldo, and Ronaldo are the best offensive players I have ever seen.

    Apologies to Puskas, Di Stefano, and Eusebio, who were before my time.

    Passing of a legend, for sure.

    Watching ORL/Revs, ORL player quite clearly spikes hell out of NE guy, and rightly gets a red.

    Same old shit - Nani and Urso in refs face, screaming, Nani grabs ref 3 or 4 times, chasing him around the field.

    He does eventually get a yellow, deserves a red and his teammates get nothing. What is it with these guys?

    And the same thing was by every Orlando player after a weak foul on their goalie. The ref responds with no cards and gifts them a PK moments later, which was completely a dive.

    Orlando is far and away my most disliked team in the league.

    How do they even have 10 left on the field? It’s ugly.

    Game has now degenerated into a gang fight. ORL is nothing but a bunch of thugs

    Agreed.

    Bruce Arena, while a great manager (recent USMNT failings aside), is possibly the biggest schmuck in all of soccer. And that is saying something. And yet, after watching ORL for 15 minutes, I find myself actively rooting for NE.

    3-1 Revs.

    Beating Phily & ORL, on short rest, after the play-in game, is impressive. Turner is fantastic. Gil.

    Our record in the ECF vs Arena (0-3) and NE (0-1) is not exactly stellar. 1st thing first: Nashville.

    NE played on the 20th, 24th, 29th. They get a week off, but hopefully it takes a toll against us.

    On paper: NYRB, Nashville, and NE ain't exactly murderers row standing in our way to the Finals.

    Aside from the COVID stuff, we could not ask for a better setup. #6, #7, and #8.

    You know it must be blindingly obvious to have Twellman say something.

    I was rooting for Orlando to win when that match started.

    By the end, I was glad New England was rolling them.

    Yes, I was hoping we would get Orlando also. Mainly because of their tendency to self-destruct.
