PBP: 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs First Round Game 3 PBP Thread {R}

California 1-0 Cascadia

Bogusz

 

A Canadian goal did not happen.

 

Vancouver puts it in the net but a flag was raised

 

Nooooooooooo!

 

This was quite an easy prediction to make, to be honest.

 

Vancouver can console themselves with the knowledge that they lead on aggregate 4-3.

 

O Canada...

 

The Western semifinals are:

LA Galaxy vs Minnesota

LAFC vs Seattle

 

If I had a guy known for scoring big goals away at LAFC (in the playoffs even) on my bench, and I absolutely needed a big goal away at LAFC, I'd put him in for 15-30 minutes. But no Damir Kreilach last night for Vancouver. I like Sartini generally, but this is something I would have done differently.

 

A game between two blue teams started 15 minutes ago.

 

A game between two blue teams started 30 minutes ago.

There was a good chance a few seconds ago, but nothing came of it as it was a good enough save.

 

That was a fantastic save, from standing at the near post as the ball came in to a full length save at the far post.

 

A shot at the end of the half goes barely wide.

0-0

 

Oh, that AT&T commercial. Because Mia Hamm (or anyone else with a clue about the game) would just randomly tell a youth soccer coach to change formations with absolutely no context whatsoever.

 

A goal did not happen. Ball in the net, but Martinez was offside.

 

It isn't for lack of trying, but this game seems destined to go to PK's with the official final score being 0-0.

 

As a NYC fan I'll be very happy if it goes to penalties based on the second half.

 

How long has Keaton Parks been wearing "KEATON" on the back of his shirt? I only noticed it when he took his PK.

Is this the influence of his time in Portugal?

 

Wow...Celentano comes up BIG in the clutch!

 

Haak's shot almost ripped the net. Wow.

 

You were saying?

 

Extra point!

 

Tied on extra points!

 

Matching shots over the bar by both teams.
