PBP: 2025 MLS Season Week 26.5 PBP Thread September 6 & 7{R}

******** it all.

 

If FC Dallas can handle St. Louis City as they did in Frisco a few weeks ago, and the Galaxy can get that elusive first win away from home, St. Louis will be in the lead for the Wooden Spoon this year--a far cry from their breakout debut in 2023.

The Fire and Revolution have a close series in their histories, record-wise. Chicago lead New England 36-34 with 22 draws going back to 1998. The Los Angeles Galaxy lead the Houston Dynamo in their series, 17-15 with 12 draws.

I’ll bet San Diego is studying STL’s second season and creating an internal memo called

Here’s what St. Louis did…let’s do the opposite

 

They don't need to create it. St. Louis CITY SC created it ourselves after our first season, and CITY has been following it ever since. They can just ask, and I'm sure CITY would text it to them.

 

Dallas with the 10-man MLS advantage?

Chicago is on 'Fire'...2 goals in the first 10 minutes against the Revs.

 

DAL keeper sees red, STL doomed to lose via the ten man advantage rule.

 

So I have the wrong two games on is what you are telling me.

 

Chicago started hot-hot-hot and Matt Turner is getting the USNT experience of no offense + shaky defense that he missed out on today.

 

The rep I am giving you is from my wife, who made the same joke.

 

Matt Turner defining how not to play keeper position on the first goal.

 

I doff my cap to Mrs. Ismitje...

 

Sweet strike from Pompeo. STL up 1-0.

 

And 2 minutes later, Petar Musa shows why St. Louis can't have nice things!

 

All kinds of chances for the Revs in the last ten minutes of half one, blocked and saved and posts denying them a goal.

 

Galaxy woes continue. Ponce gives the Dynamo the lead at halftime.

 

Not much on offing for NE this half, but plenty for the Fire. And there's three.

 

LA has the equalizer chalked off for offside 82’

 

Dallas' third string keeper has had a couple of nice saves since he came on in the 20th minute to keep the score level in St. Louis.

 

I totally forgot Omar Gonzalez was still playing (on for the Fire in the 90th).

 

. . . and immediately gives up a penalty with an awkward kick. Ooof.

3-2 all of a sudden and two minutes (or so) left.

 

GREAT save from Brady else the Revs would have tied at the death. Fire win.

 

98:18 of 8 added, LA ties HOU again.
