MLS Playoff/RSL's New Park

RE: McBride

It's the stigma that goes with Columbus. That said, the day the circus (MSL) leaves town at the place where it all started, it will be sad, if only for that reason.

Grande Ol' Opry!?!? Damn, things move fast in Texas. Still gettin' down to Lawrence Welk in these parts.

 

MLS Conf Semi's

Chicago looked awesome against NE tonight.

Has me really worried about next Thursday night when they come to Cols {assuming we beat KC which we should}. And I wouldnt really be worried except for the McBride paradigm.

 

RE: MLS Conf Semi

The Fire-Crew matchup is a one and done Don. The winner on Thursday advances to the Finals.

 

RE: MLS Conf Semi

Holy crap is right.
3-nil, ouch. Couldn't happen to a nicer team... :lol:

 

RE: MLS Conf Semi

I also did not see that coming, but I did watch the game, and Sublicon was down in Houston to see it in person, so perhaps he did have a hunch there might've been a win in the Red Bulls' future.

Dane Richards and Danny Cepero were both phenomenal, I thought.

 

RE: MLS Conf Semi

I believe that means another game in RSL's new stadium and I would favor Salt Lake to beat Red Bull. Javier Morales has been terrific for RSL and if NY is going to have any chance they will have to contain him.

In the Crew-Fire match I like the Crew because they are playing at home. This is a terrific match-up and one that could just as easily produce a scoreless tie or a 4-3 thriller.

My call is RSL v. Crew in the Finals.

 

RE: MLS Conf Semi

RBNY?

Seriously? But, a pasting of Houston makes me take notice. Crew still have to be favorites, but, this thing is a crapshoot for me at this point.

 

RE: MLS Conf Semi

RBNY!

Nevada Smith's was a-rocking, and I got tons of hugs from a Scottish dude who was impressed I kinda knew who Hibs were and that Titus Bramble sucks. But seriously, the Red Bulls game RULED. Cepero RULES. Dane Richards RULES. Dave van den Bergh RULES. Osorio RULES. Houston sucked, especially De Rosario. WINNING RULES! RULES!

 

RE: MLS Conf Semi

Wow!!! I cannot believe NY did it. Thank you Red Bulls, now I get to go to one more match at the Tinto. Saturday will be rockin! Tailgating will probably start Friday night, seeing as how every match there it has started 2 hours earlier then the last. Count me in! I have no idea what will happen in this match. RSL has never beaten NY, although they have never lost at home with each match being a draw. I like the way RSL played against the goats. It looked like the roles were reversed as RSL was spraying the ball all over the field. The midfield for RSL is really linking up well and I love the impact Javier Morales has in his attacking mid spot. New York has done a good job taking him out of both matches this year, but Jason Kreis inserting of Clint Mathis into a withdrawn forward role has paid huge dividends as he has alleviated the pressure of teams that man mark Morales by providing one more possession player in midfield, and RSL has yet to lose with him in the starting lineup. Looking forward to this match. Also, looking forward to the showdown in the East. Should be a great match there as well.

 

RE: MLS Conf Semi

Any question as to the Final the MSL Brass want?

 

Re: RE: MLS Conf Semi

RSL vs Columbus?

:lol:

 

with the Dynamo out, perhaps they can focus on the vital game against Firpo, and have the MLS save face in that concacaf champions league.

 

When is that?

 

Re: RE: MLS Conf Semi

The CONCACAF Champions League is in it's first year, can it really be that important so quickly?

Anyhoo, Thursday and Saturday are the Conference finals. I want a NY win! Even if it leads to a Chicago ass-kicking in Carson, I WANT IT ALL! And I want it now.

LA vs. DC?
