Judging by how this Portland/Seattle game is going, this playoffs' theme so far seems to be "hot in the second half == doom."
Seattle with a fantastic goal but then Portland comes back and scores. Missed offside on Portland.
Seattle’s best player Roldan comes off and Portland scores immediately
So this goal was called back due to Almiron being offside on the short corner.
Shutting us out isn't that big of an accomplishment in and of itself; as everybody is happy to point out, our offense constantly underperforms relative to its chances. That said, Higuain has this thing about going beastmode for the playoffs, so.It's really hard not to be pessimistic going into Sunday having not scored an away goal in the first leg. Columbus did get shutout in Montreal a month ago which gives me a semblance of hope, but I think there's a good chance that we need to score 3 goals. Need Kaku and BWP to make it happen.
What was that ridiculous crowd in Columbus yesterday. Only 12k "announced" crowd? And once again mostly empty in New-York. What is going on?
Even in Salt Lake lots of empty seats, Not enough time to promote those playoffs games? Tickets prices to blame? People don't like the "cold"?
It doesn't look good on tv when you have empty stadiums for playoff games, this hurts the ratings big time for sure. (baseball field and synthetic fields as well)
DC-Columbus was amazing the other night but yesterday was back to normal it seems.
Might be time to change the thread title soon to "Exit Zlatan"...
He indicated after meeting with the media that he was likely to stay. I suspect Gio will be on the way and Zlatan will take his spot as our last DP. But honestly if he decides to leave I wouldn't blame him
Fair enough but its not just Columbus. The issue probably is deeper that that.There's quite a few Crew fans that are waiting for the sale of the team so that way slimeball Anthony Precourt isn't getting more money.
Also, Precourt is putting zero dollars into advertising and marketing.
There will be a ton of ticket sales once the team is officially sold to the new owners.
It would be considering Toronto missed the playoffs.It would be quite the plot twist if the MLS Cup ends up SEA-TOR III
Away goal goes out the window once it hits Extra Time.This might be a dumb question but why doesnt Portland advance on away goals?
I agree. Instead of away goals it should be points. Whomever that has more points gets to move on.Legs, tiebreakers, away goals.... why not have one game winner take all at the team with the better record or a best of 3?
