PBP: MLS 2017 Week 27 Continuous PBP Thread [Multiple R]

Apparently Minnesota's become interested in the last few minutes.

 

That's the CJ Sapong I know and...know.

 

CJ Sapong blows it from one yard out. Kind treatment of the home fans.

 

I'm kinda surprised Houston is already hosting a game.

 

Rojo in DC...Carrasco off with his second yellow. Orlando down to 10

 

Union could have at least a couple more goals by now if they where just a tiny bit competent.

 

Union own goal!

Edit: I stand corrected. Finley barely got to it.

 

Interesting observation by Celo: Players from other CONCACAF nations now playing in MLS no longer fear (his term) the US because they're used to playing against the US players.

 

Is it to much to ask for one of the 5 teams in Philly to be competitive?

 

Same just flipped over to the mighty Rapids, v Houston.

 

Got Washington-Montana on the TV synced to the dulcet tones of Bob Rondeau on the internet stream and Hou-Col on the iPad.

The Rapids one notable summer signing still has yet to start a game, but Aigner is on the bench.

 

Orlando hanging on for dear life now...

 

I was maybe 30 ft away from that corner; Alvarez gave the AR an earful after a strange corner kick call.

That was a poorly officiated game; missed calls that should have been easy and called some strange ticky tack stuff when he should have let play continue.

Sacha in person looks more languid than Sacha on TV, but his set piece delivery is pretty impressive live.

Chicago are bereft of ideas without Bastian.

 

Montreal deciding they had better not show up to the party without bringing some toast.

New England 1-0 (Nguyen)

 

And back to back crossbars by New England

Now that @Deep Wilcox has turned the game off, it's finally gotten interesting.

 

Lemme guess, one of them was Agudelo?

 

Madness in DC.....Seb Hines Red Carded for off ball shenanigans with Lloyd Sam. Then stays on field before ref tells him to leave. Orlando desperately hangs on for the win in 101'

 

Well, if its any consolation this Houston / Colorado match is a sleeping pill. Colorado bunkering, Houston doing very little...

 

I think the first was Fagundez (but not sure) from the left side, the rebound went to Kamara on the right who promptly drilled it right back into the crossbar.

 

The Rapids have a strategy? I thought it was just their typical incompetence.

 

Maybe you should just turn the tv off and walk away so that the rest of us can enjoy what will become exciting games!

 

Its possible I am mistaking lethargy for "bunkering".

 

It'd be a public service. My neighbor, who is a Bronco's cheerleader just called because she needs a back rub, so maybe I should turn off MLS, and go help her out.

 

I'm surprised you haven't already left!

(edit: after all, she could get you into the players' locker room!)

 

This is the first time in quite a while I've actually been able to sit down and watch several games in a row. I guess I didn't realize just how many bad/boring teams there are in MLS. It's been quite disappointing.
