    The second half of this game is going to be crazy.

    It's funny to watch LA players looking around because they don't know where anyone is or where anything is coming from.

    all it takes is one goal for LAFC and the flashbacks of the late game Crew collapses come flooding back in

    That punt becomes a corner and Vela was the one who saved it!?

    Vela being the last man back to stop a Columbus counter says something about where LAFC is right now.

    If I got went to ground and got beat on a ball like that up the sideline I would be hauling ass to recover and help defend.

    Keep his hands down?

    Every commentator in the history of the game says that it's natural to have your arms up when you jump. But it's not automatic. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE YOUR HANDS UP.

    That thing looked destined to go in but just bounces wide of the Crew goal.

    An LAFC goal there would have been very interesting.

    I mean Rossi is flicking the ball blindly back over his head. He is lucky for it to his Palacios in the chest and then the arm

    I'll consult the Laws of the Game for the "not a penalty if it's unlucky" clause.

    So, the team that loves to hold the ball has a two-goal lead.
    The team the likes to sit back and counter has to come out of its shell.
    The wet conditions aren't likely to let up.

    This next 45 minutes could be absolutely bonkers.

    Am I misremembering the whole deflection off not arm into arm not being a penalty? When did that change?
