PBP: 2024 MLS Season PBP Thread Week 15 May 29 - June 2 {R}

We're forgetting an obvious Scottish player - Ryan Gauld! Wikipedia says he is up to 27 goals now.

 

I always think of his career as a flight attendant myself

 

That was a great commercial

 

Vancouver had a near miss a couple of minutes ago. Whomever controls the smoke cannons thought it went in and triggered the celebration.

 

Scottish DPs
Portland - Chris Boyd
Chicago - Shaun Maloney
SKC - Johnny Russell
Vancouver - Barry Robson, Kenny Miller, Ryan Gauld

 

Kris Boyd is the Portland one I was thinking of - 7 goals in 26 appearances. Not quite the bust I thought, but still not stellar

 

Colorado given a penalty. Seemed a generous gift on first view

edit: VAR calls the ref over to have a 2nd look

edit2: No foul

 

Overturned by VAR.

 

Timbers tap it in

Portland 1-1 Houston

Mora with the goal

 

Steve Clark got LOL’d

 

It’s the vernacular. When I went to the liberry I looked it up and saw “prolly.” It was a fine fall day, saw some decent foilage.

 

Fiddly

 

Jader Obrian scored in the 64th minute to ruin RSL's clean sheet. A VAR check took the goal away. In the 71st minute, RSL scored again to make it 5-0. Austin is officially Real Salt Lake's bitch.

 

So weird, too. Questionable handball on a corner kick gives RSL a penalty on the play that lead to the goal by Austin... via VAR.

 

Still holds the record for best MLS-related commercial of all time.

(The series of Alaska Air commercials that first Portland season were all fantastic.)

 

A bit of a shame, really, as that ATX goal was a perfect counter-strike goal.
And imagine if the game was tied, or if Austin was only down by one.

 

Unthinkable?!?
You heathen.
The Fire have won THREE games this season.
Totally "thinkable"!!!!!!

 

You should have heard the commentary at the end of that one. It was being described like Chicago was winning another World Cup.

 

Fortunately RSL had that fifth goal for buffer.

 

Win the World Cup?
Did we resign Bastian?!?

Oh, another World Cup. East

 

RSL's all-time single season scoring record is 17. Chicho is at 16 with half the season to go.

 

I missed a Whitecaps goal

Vancouver 1-0 Colorado

 

A comb happened.

 

Portland, we have a problem

Portland 1-2 Houston
