PBP: 2025 MLS Playoffs Round 1 Game 3 PBP Thread November 7 - 9 {R}

Eh, they should just take the week off.

(Too soon, right?)

 

Under the superdave method of 3 for a win, 2 for a home draw, 1 for a road draw, Seattle would have advanced, 5-4.

Morris’ goal would have given us that ultra dramatic moment, when a soccer team goes from losing, past tying, all the way to winning, in just one play.

 

So at one point I thought we were going to end up with seedings all over the place.

But if Miami and San Diego win we end up with 1,2,3,5 in the East and 1,2,3,4 in the West.

 

Because they didn’t resolve ties with a home run derby.

 

There’s zero chance they knew the rule, I promise you.

 

It's a pretty old rule. I think it's been the same way since the 1960s when pens replaced the coin toss.

 

Not a fan of announcers making predictions like that. "You know Miami is going to score..."

 

Jinx

 

O Nashville

I forgot they are a thing.

 

Well - he was right. Messi at 9:30ish. 1-0 Miami

 

. . . but they knew.

1-0.

 

about that

Does Nashville get an assist?

 

Four defenders! And he's inch perfect. Really fun to watch him here.

 

Nice blind pass back towards your own goal, numbnuts.

 

Note to Nashville: Don't pass to the guy who's scored 14 goals in 10 games against you.

 

He did it again.

 

Oh, Walker. That was a bad miss.

2-0 now.

 

Alright Miami have got this, so I'm going to sleep.

They have got it, right?

 

What makes MLS so fun this year (at least when watching the top teams) is that many of them of good offenses and suspect defenses. So no - it's not over

 

OK, I'm putting MLS Next Pro Cup on the laptop.

 

That's a disappointing outcome. Would have been fun to start the half with a Nashville goal.

 

3-0

 

Penalties it is.
