MLS 2017 Week 23 Continuous PBP Thread [Multiple R]

My wife left for Florida to visit her Dad yesterday. I have my company summer picnic tonight at the founder's house in Boulder though so I'm going to have to check out for 3 hours or so. Hope to make it back in time to see the second half of Dallas-Colorado.

 

Jar Jar Binks on for SKC.

 

I'm not sure you people can complain.

What did you find offensive? Field coverage was shit, but they showed everything live. I didn't pay attention to the calls since I was shouting over them. They showed the Bolt piece in earlier coverage.

 

That SKC sequence would have been a beautiful goal.

 

Mainly the lead announcer who couldn't name non-American athletes. He couldn't even recognize which countries teams were running for or who was in which position. His sprint calls consist of repeating one sprinters name, unable to identify who was second or third. One example where he called that an American runner was in the lead in a sprint (Ketley?) even though he was 3 yards down and going backwards. Ato Bolden was continually having to correct him. At least this they went to commercial in the first half of the distance races rather than wait until the second half and rejoin in the last 800 meters by which time everything had changed.

 

Seattle temporarily in 1st in the West.

And I now get to watch my first MLS game in well over a month.

 

Sounders temporarily leading the west?

 

Seattle top of the West now.

 

A number of teams can pass them on tie breakers before this round is over.

 

Gleeson with the nice save on Giovinco

 

Portland and TFC are flying all over the place.

 

Now if Portland, Houston, and Dallas can manage to win, we'll be the League of Nations.

 

Gleeson with hamstring issues

 

That's like me pulling a hammy walking to the fridge.

 

Gleeson subbed out in 17th and Haglund for TFC also comes off

 

Nick Hagglund out too.

 

Breaking news! Jason Hernandez is still an active soccer player.

 

Is Nagbe even playing? I mean, I know he's on the field but is he playing?

 

and he's actually been decent in the games he's played for TFC

 

helluva tackle by Vytas on Giovinco

 

Hasler looks like a shrewd pickup for Toronto.

 

Jason Hernandez is going to be there forever.

 

Portland looking dangerous - as in almost scoring an own goal

 

This game deserves a goal.

 

Lol ... Attinella stretching. Is there hope for a field player goalee today? I vote for Nagbe since he's doing nothing with his feet
