That's 5 starters for Seattle out or questionable.

 

Colorado has 4 out and the only backup for one of the 4 is also out.

Of course two of them, including the starter who's backup is out, are because they were idiots and thought that Elfath wouldn't notice a clear yellow card offense (leading to an accumulation suspension) or that they could mouth off to a World Cup semi-final ref (getting a red card) in the last match pre-break.

 

No announcer feed for Miami-Chicago, at least for the first three minutes. Great crowd noise though no player/action noise.

 

Apparently the open goals are too open for shots to find net tonight.

 

What's with all the empty seats in Foxboro? Did FIFA paint in the fans when the World Cup was held there?

 

Philadelphia 1-0 RBNY
Iloski goal, 9'
This time the open goal wasn't a deterrent.

 

Pavel Bucha with the first goal of the night.

 

No Messi, De Paul and Berhalter

 

Vancouver draw level with Cincinnati in the 12th minute. Jeevan Badwal with the goal.

 

"what a disaster"

 

Holy moly. Ian Fray with the goal on Rios Novo. Unfortunately, they are teammates and Rios Novo just whiffed on the pass.

 

Owen Goal continues his scoring tear from the World Cup.

 

Yikes by Miami keeper.. “… we will take it from here”… ugh, give it back

 

I get two of those, but the US was eliminated weeks ago. Berhalter should be plenty rested.

 

It can happen to anyone, though. Oliver Kahn once whiffed on a backpass, resulting in an own goal, in a Champions League match.

 

One can't blame Horvath for lack of consistency.

 

Philadelphia 1-1 RBNY
Cowell goal, 38'

 

Damn Canada. It's the first half.

 

Cincinnati-Vancouver is off the hook! A final score to rival England vs. France?

 

Goals are happening tonight.
