whoscored match report.

 

Watching Red Bulls and Orlando replay. Galaxy will need to look out for Tolkin's free kicks - he's very good and had a terrific left-footed inswinger assist on the Red Bull goal from a set piece. We have a propensity for giving up those kinds of chances.

Reyes, the center back who scored for Red Bulls, should have had a second yellow on a high kick, which would have put him out of the final. Orlando has a beef, that was a bad non-call, and they should have had 25 minutes of play with a man up.

 

Seattle was going HARD after Riqui. they can be all "gg's" but those tackles were not "ggs"

Grabbed 2 parts of the game that I feel are showing how bad Riqui Puig’s injury could be.. praying for the best. pic.twitter.com/QPDHQZ8GhJ

Blimey. There’s been quite the price increase in the decade since I attended an MLS Cup final at Victoria Street.

 

Haha - I just noticed that as well.

The prices for the WC final came down quite a bit in the last couple of days before the game. So here's hoping that happens again.

 

Agree - they needed to have a better press in their arsenal. Seattle had too much time in the second half especially.
Watching the trophy presentation on replay - hi Sasha Kjlestan! Saw him walk in before the game.

 

Forget what?

 

The absolute cheapest seats available on my presale access window were $350 plus $60 or so in junk fees. It’s hard for me to justify that outlay to bring a family of 4. Now a braver man might suggest to his wife that just he and his 8 year old son attend. But I’m not that stupid.

Will have to check the after market closer to game day.

 

Well said.

I just want to say that Dejan's strike was top shelf stuff. He's running to his right and most people would strike the ball towards the same side of goal, which would require Frei to move to his left to make the save. However, Dejan got Frei to lean just enough in that direction before striking the ball towards the opposite side of goal, opposite the direction of the flow of play. That's the kind of play you see from a premium striker.
...and full props to Frei, a premium Goalkeeper in his own right, who still managed to get a glove on the ball before it rolled into the corner of the goal.

 

Dejan's post game presser, he admitted to his chagrin he thought Frei might save it, fortunate his shot had enough power on it that even Frei's hand deflected, it still went in.

 

To give the FO kudos, my season ticket is normally about $28 and for final it’s like $65 which is not bad at all when face value appears to be over $300 based on last nights access to additional tickets.

it’s been a good deal for STM throughout the playoffs.

 

Atmosphere has been amazing the last two games.

Amazing how much the sport has grown in this country, and even here in Southern California. It was 530pm and the supporters section was already full! Fireworks going off before and after the game. So many people singing, chanting, waving flags and towels. After the game, most people stayed.

I hope the people making these games so special aren’t priced out.

And now to feel that extremely special and privileged anxiety of a week long wait for MLS Cup.

 

Ah that sounds familiar. The last three finals I had season tickets and $65 was what I recall paying for a second ticket. Very pleased to hear the FO is still taking care of season ticket members in that regard.

 

Good deal for STH on base tickets but I just looked at maybe taking a few of the less inclined soccer fans in the family and it seems the STH extra tickets are not discounted—$370 for a GA seat. The wife said she’d rather be taken out to dinner (not BWHD). I wonder if that face value will hold or if they’re being too optimistic on the demand?
