I was hoping that the Galaxy would win. 

A lot of rumors that this is Ibra's last game for the LA Galaxy.

Did you catch any part of his post-match tantrum?

Ibra's? I saw him grab his dick while talking to a fan.

And it's over. Very disappointed in Vela tonight, as he was frustrated and clearly off his game. 

Whereas Ruidaz played brilliant. 

See ya later LAFC.

Ruidiaz is such a clutch player. If his goalscoring record already wasn't good enough, he has 6 playoff goals in 5 games, and of course he saved Monarcas from relegation.

He's still far behind Ibrahimovic and Vela but I'd say he and Josef battle it out for 3rd best striker in the MLS. 

His first goal was an outstanding dribble and finish.

Sucks for Vela but that's what he gets for "retiring" from the NT :D Ruidiaz was a part of the reason why monarcas didn't relegate but they are still around and it was a team effort PLUS having Veracruz and what ever chumps were up for a one and done. I still wouldn't rate him up there with Josef, as consistency throughout the whole season is still his biggest flaw.

Only reason I say he battles it with Josef is overall quality + his goalscoring record in Mexico which was not THAT long ago.

It is true that Ruidiaz struggled to return from his injury, but his record in playoffs cannot be denied. Both Josef and Raul are way behind the top 2 though.

We'll see. I like Ruidiaz, but I'm not sure I'd put him up there..yet. 

Vela is clearly the best player and creater, Josef might be the best finisher now that it appears that Ibra is leaving the MLS. 

This may sound silly, but I'm not even sure he is the best striker on his team. Jordan Morris, when healthy, is deadly. Rossi on LAFC is also an incredible goal scoring machine. 

What Vela did this year, and Josef last year, just puts them in the lead for me. Josef seems so happy in the MLS, and if he stays, he'll have a great chance to shatter the MLS record for goals scored. 

The record is Wando's with 159 goals, and after only 3 years, Josef already has 81 goals and he's 26 xD

I was happy for Seattle though. They were the original Staple of how to run a franchise from start to present day. Since Day 1 they have been a force. Plus it now means that if we win tonight, the MLS Final will be in Atlanta.

Ha - I'm still not sure why he doesn't like the Mexican NT, but whatever. 

Ruidiaz, this year has caught Josef in ratings, but he's closed the gap just because Ruidiaz seemed more comfortable this year.

GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL

Atlanta up 1-0 thanks to Pity and Gressel linking up, and once again Michael Bradley was exposed. 

Get. The. Fuck. In. Atlanta. 

1-0 United. 

Posted

Penalty for United!

Bradley (again), caught out of position, gets beat by Pity, and then gets fouled by Bradley. 

Bradley....please quit. 

Posted

Weak penalty there from Josef, and it's saved. That's a rarity. 

Remains 1-0 Atlanta United, just 10 minutes in the game. 

Posted

Wow - and Benezet scores a great goal for Toronto to make it 1-1. 

The goals in this playoffs have been many. 

Posted

Half-Time. 

Toronto 1 - 1 Atlanta. 

We've had a ton of possession and better chances. While Toronto's goal was a well set up play, they have otherwise offered very little going forward. 

Posted

I want TFC to win because that means Seattle would be home and increases the chances of them winning the whole thing.

Atlanta in the final would make for a proper game though. Seattle and Atlanta, the USA's 2 biggest soccer cities.

Posted

Wow - and another incredible strikes puts Toronto in the lead. 

2-1 with just over 10 minutes left. 

Posted

 Oh wow.

I didn't see that coming at all. 

Atlanta has lost to Toronto 2-1. Kudos to Toronto for their two rocket goals, which were truly special. 

An MLS final of Seattle vs Toronto......I doubt many people saw that coming this year.

While I don't agree, I am a big fan of Jordan Morris. He's helped this team click to actually be a "team". Last year Ruidiaz carried the team, but this year they don't rely on him as much. Lodeiro, Raul and Morris were all superb.
