Should have finished that...brilliant lead up to it.

[unknownuser]

1-1 HT.
Disappointing penalty to concede right at the end of the half.
Hopefully we come back right and fast in the start of second half to peg their momentum back.

[unknownuser]

Giovincoooooooo 2-1 TFC!

[Bobinhood]

The Anaconda Squeezes nyrb. But for a silly iffy pen it would be over at half.

But lets face it. Its over!

New Yaak tried to kick em off the park but it didnt work.

[unknownuser]

That'll do. 2 away goals to bring back to the BMO on Sunday. Should be enough to see us through to the conference finals. Hope Vasquez and Moor's injuries aren't serious.

[Buggy Eyes Alfredo]

shite atmosphere, shite playing pitch, decent night out (pints up..) two time champions of the league "supporting" your team only when we have a goal kick

off to the hotel and them home.   Come on you timbers!

one of the few mls staudiums I have yet to visit. maybe next season

vancouver to get a result in seattle would be massive, if not just let Diego smash one into the upper Ninety.

[Buck Pete]

Great result for Toronto

A way to go yet but the all Canadian final is a possibility

[LFC_1981]

Curt Onalfo happened...

Thank fuck they got rid of him back in July.

[afc tukrish]

He's sort of the US-equivalent of the LMA manager merry-go-round, keeps popping up in high-level jobs without demonstrating any evidence of ability to do a job...

[rodderzzz]

Vancouver 0-0 Seattle
NYRB 1-2 Toronto
Houston 0-0 Portland
Columbus 4-1 NYCFC

All to play for after 1st legs, Not sure how NYCFC did that to themselves tonight!

Looking forward to my Thursday trip to Seattle!

Are you a Timbers STH, and you get to a lot of away games?

There's a group of expat scousers who do the same with Whitecaps, I've done 13 of the 22 stadiums. Slowly catching the ones i havent done!

Aye. Furthest I have been following my local is to Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Ayma.

Do you know Zach Meisenheimer? Have not seen him in years.

Speaking of the MLS though, I have very fond memories in Denver and Chicago. I met many who still to this day I allow to crash at my pad when visiting. At the "Globe Pub" in Chicago and the "British Bulldog" in Denver I have spent many of weekends. For our first every trip to Denver we arrived to tailgate/keg/pig-roast party and they had shot glasses made with the date and their logo and ours printed on them. Traveled to B.C. and enjoy the friendship with many from the Southsiders. Horrible long story that I experienced in Sandy, will never set foot into that ground again.

Bunch of the locals support SAFC, serves them right.

oh and if it needed to be said f**k seattle...   

[Buggy Eyes Alfredo]

oh. oh, OH!   

Do you know DJ Watermelon?   

[disgraced cake]

Nice to see another Timbers fan in here 

Hoping we get the business done on Sunday night (Monday morning over here) - Think it might be a hell of a task without a lot of key players, but I reckon we can do it and then hopefully go on to win the thing again.

Yes I do know Zach, great lad, will see him tonight down in Seattle!

Furthest we went was to Monterrey for the Champions League Semi Final against Tigres in Mexico! It was only me and my mate in the away section that night, was sketchy as fuck haha
I love going the British Bulldog in Denver, one of my favourite away pubs!

I've only been to RSL once, and mainly just to say I've been! Can't imagine I'll be going back unless we get them in a playoff game!

Got 3.5 more hours of work before hitting the road for Seattle, I don't hold a great deal of hope tonight but if we could get that away goal it'll make things very interesting.

I'd settle for 0-0 at half time!

[rodderzzz]

I actually had a couple of friends from Portland who went to Saprissa away last year too, I think you lost 4-2?

[Buck Pete]

Good luck tonight Rodderzzz

Hope your boys do it.

Thanks mate

Sitting in work like a coiled spring at the minute!

We’re on the road! Come on boys!

Dempsey with the brace, Seattle through to the next round.

[The G in Gerrard]

Want Toronto & David Villa to do well.

[Buck Pete]

Dempsey with the brace, Seattle through to the next round.

Clint Fucking Dempsey, the striker Luis Suarez could of been.

Unlucky Rodderzzz lad

[rodderzzz]

c*nt of a day in the end, massive snowstorm on the way home slowed us down an hour, got to bed at 2am, was up at 4am and I'm currently at work! Not the happiest today! lol

[disgraced cake]

Toronto through to conference final, NYC leading CC 1-0, they still need another couple without response.

Watching this on the laptop with nfl on the tv. Love David Villa, just wish he could have played for us. Still think there's something in this game for NYC. Villa is a level above everyone else and if they can keep it in and around the box they have a chance.

[Rysoph76]

2-0 NYCFC

We needed another quality striker after we signed Torres. Think if we'd have been able to get him in 2008 or so our fortunes might have been a bit different.

What I love about him is that you watch him in MLS and he still wants to win as much as he ever did. No last pay day for him. Amazing player.

[disgraced cake]

Columbus through to the conference semi, either them or Toronto will host the final considering both teams had a better record in the normal season than anyone left in the west

[pyroparty]

Could have been a pen there. Bizarre late subs from Vieira!

[Rysoph76]

That was a crazy last couple of minutes!

Apparently, Caleb Porter and Portland have mutually agreed to call it quits...

Stunning...

Where next for Porter?

Where next for Porter? 

USMNT would be great, but he might have to start drinking pints of wine to beat out Fat Sam for the position...

Sacramento, Nashville, Cincy, Detroit Named MLS Expansion Finalists

Sacramento, Nashville, Cincinnati and Detroit are the four finalists for the next round of MLS expansion.

The four cities will make presentations on Dec. 6th with a Board of Governors meeting on Dec. 14th for the two available slots.

Atlanta and Minnesota were added to the MLS this season to put the total number of franchises at 22. Los Angeles FC will be added next season with Miami still possibly getting a franchise.

The Columbus Crew may also relocate to Austin in 2019.

--------------------------

Sactown will be nice, they always have loyal and passionate fans.

[rodderzzz]

If it goes off fanbase, Sacramento and Cinci should win hands down, but I think Detroit have the money behind them so I'd expect them to be one of them. Personally hope that Detroit is one of them as I have a good friend lives just over the border in Windser, On so Detroit away will be cheap as chips for me!!!

That Miami team seem like it’s been in the works for about 3 years now, what’s happening?

[NHRed]

That Miami team seem like it’s been in the works for about 3 years now, what’s happening?

Miami (or Dade County) got badly burned on the Florida Marlins stadium deal.  Securing the necessary public support for a stadium has been difficult.  The difficulty is compounded by Beck's determination to be in Miami, which is a glamorous city no doubt, but probably not the best possible place to put a new MLS club.
