The Blowout Comb Thread

Three last night, Chi 4 - Hou 0, Colorado 5 - SJ 0, LAFC 6 - Van 0

Anyone know if this is the most single day combs?

 

https://www.fifa.com/news/the-week-in-numbers-x3272 says:

"84 San Jose Earthquakes' 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy in the 84th 'Cali Clasico' was their largest margin of victory in the derby's history."

San Jose played consecutive games with at least a 6 goal swing from the previous game as they won 3-0, lost 3-0, and won 4-0. In a span of six games starting with the 5-0 loss that DCW531 stated, San Jose played four games that were clean sheets with the winner scoring at least 3, and San Jose won two and lost two. Furthermore, in between when this topic had posts on July 19 and September 24, San Jose lost 6-1 hosting Portland in the game before losing 5-0. September 19 through October 14 is under a month, and in that time San Jose lost by 5 twice and won by 4.

 

So the comb factory is in San Jose

 

While not MLS I'm guessing the posters here would like this tweet:

D.C 7-1 Toronto

While the score was 3-1, Toronto got a red. Toronto relieved coach Chris Armas of his duties.

 

This Bruce guy may just know what he is doing.

 

With only one new team, we've already matched the number of combs of '21. That said, looks like they're rare enough we could go the rest of the season without any more, like we did last year.

 

Missed a few:

3/6/2022: ATX 5:1 MIA
4/17/2022: NYC 6:0 RSL
5/14/2022: POR 7:2 SKC
6/14/2022: SEA 4:0 VAN
7/4/2022: LAG 4:0 MON
7/8/2022: PHI 7:0 DCU
7/23/2022: TOR 4:0 CLT

 

Thanks. I was starting to wonder. I guess there's actually not that much interest in this thread. Makes me suspect that there are a number missing from last year too.

 

Philadelphia 6-0 Colorado

The second and third goals were penalties. Colorado got a player ejected for a second yellow in the 35th, and allowed 3 goals before and after, meaning they allowed fewer goals per minute while down a man.

 

So there is still an MLS ten-man advantage, even if you lose?

 

Philly now has 4 in their last 10 games. Scary.

 

But who have their opponents been?

 

DC x2 and a Colorado team that barely put out a MLS-level lineup.

But still, 6+ goals in 4 out of 10 games is not something to be ignored, regardless of opponent.

 

HOU was the 4th. Still, they aren't the only team that gets to play the bottom feeders, and no one else has come close to going +25 against four teams.

LAFC has one comb (5-0 over CLT), and 2 other games they were plus 3 (3-0 COL, 4-1 RSL), making their best 4 games +13. They only got 1 goal vs DCU.
They still get HOU (twice).

 

They might want to get this ready:

 

All levels of Union are out for blood these days...

Yes, and in MLS NextPro, Union II crushed Revs II nine days ago, 5-1.

 

You see what happens when you talk about it before the game?

Thanks for doing it, though. About the only lucky thing to happen to us this year.

 

Union had their 5th comb of the year with their 5-1 win against Orlando. While Cincy blew the doors off the Quakes 6-0. Also not to be out done by the first team the Union II beat Orlando B 6-1.
