I think the 3 game series was set up to make sure the best teams advance and it completely failed at that.
Phil Schoen just called this the “Biggest Upset in MLS History.” I’m sure there’ve been bigger. Thx, Jay!
Unbelievable. Did I or did I not say that Miami's inability to defend was going to be a problem in the playoffs? (Spoiler: I did say that.) Credit to Suarez for not biting anyone.
Atlanta United is back! And as important as Miami is for MLS the team that can get 70k to a regular season is pretty important too.
LMAOL! Never thought Atlanta without DPs and getting into the play offs by luck would of eliminated Messi! Bet MLS is regretting those best of 3 lol But here we are...hope Atlanta wins it all now.
Has a 20th placed Supporters Shield team ever knocked the team with the best record out of the playoffs before?
When Atlanta & Montreal played the opening round, the commentary was all "Who will advance to play Messi!" During the matches it wasn't "Sign up for MLS playoffs coverage!" It was "Get on board with Messi's run to the Cup!" Boo. Yah.
They get moments of magic from their DPs, but in between those moments it's some of the ugliest football and some of the most petulant behavior that MLS has seen in a decade or more.
Atlanta has pwned Miami throughout {Miami's} existence so far. It continues, even without Saba Time today. No coach? No DPs? Key starters collecting Social Security? No problem! Dax McCarty was the best 37-year-old on the pitch today, and it wasn't close. Bring on Orlando!
Well, they did beat them for the 3rd time this season. Something, something, had their number something.
It was. He's 27 years old (at least according to the N Tx roster page).... playing in MLS NeXT Pro.....
