The difference is they didn't complete their chances and their opponent is pretty good too Yup. NYC with the perfect road game. Their keeper stood on his head in the first half and they had some luck with the post. That's football narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 ZBG with the assist! Why the f did Nancy wait until the 78' to bring him in down 0-3? narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Johnson with some horrific keeping of his own although he at least made some good saves in the first. Nice cross from ZBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Austin outlasts Dallas to ensure that the West will have a new conference champion this year, as they will play LAFC As Crepeau is the last Canuck standing in the MLS playoffs, I will be hoping for an LAFC championship from the last four teams.

He wasn’t needed or even tested last week, which is in retrospect a shame. I think it was Bearcat who mentioned that the goalkeepers of the Canadian teams would prevent them from either making the playoffs or not going far in them, and that is proving to be accurate Terrible keeping decisions on the first and third goals. I look at the daisy chain of culpability on goals against but on the third, it was the kind decision that just guts teams, and it did here. Heck, if that had been just the 0-2 goal, it still would have taken the oxygen out of the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 NYCFC keeper made huge saves in the key moments, a header hits the wrong side of the post, didn't see enough discussion of the non-call on Mihailović, but in the end poor keeping and bad decision making and marking on the goals against and then they are out. C'est la vie! As a neutral and Cancon supporter, I am very disappointed but I think they have a TD and coaching team to to find replacements for those on the move next season. Johnson looked great!

Or at least, few that I've seen. BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was TFC's Sonny Bono making that play, you could imagine what the reaction would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wouldn't those ratings be higher on a Saturday rather than a Sunday? FOX/FS1 & ESPN/ABC Saturday windows are tight this time of the year because of US college football. ABC had 4 games today including a marquee match up on Saturday evening. FOX also has the World Series Game 2 showing tonight. So, the best case scenario was to squeeze in 1 match on ESPN2/FS1 in the afternoon. But for 2 matches, it has to be Sunday as ESPN/ABC & FS1 have no NFL games. The MLS Cup is on next Saturday because FOX won't push NFL games to FS1 while it can do that for a secondary college game on Saturday to show MLS.
