Seattle is starting to wake up.
Welcome. Usually people just add USLPRO and NASL stuff here. Even some NWSL occasionally. However Orlando usually gets the lions share (no pun intended) of the "outside MLS" convo since they are associated with SKC and are looking to be an expansion team soon.
I think whoever does the thread next year should make it all encompassing for all 4 US Soccer leagues instead of just MLS.

Yep and it was glorious! I'm a Rapids season ticket holder and I had a grand old time at last night's game.
I especially liked hearing you guys chant "Portland's better!"
Time for us to dismantle Vancouver today.

Good luck. I lived in Portland for a few years back from 2002-2004 and love the city. I am also so impressed when I watch a game played at that stadium how packed and rowdy it is. I'd really like to catch a game there one day.

Nice play by the LA Galaxy. We need to get the win. We need the points.
They're a ton of fun, but tickets are getting harder to get in the GA section. Here's hoping we get this win. We need it if we are going to have any chance of winning the Cascadia Cup. Plus it'll really improve our playoff standings.

Yeah, Galaxy was able to pull away early in the game. Good game overall.
Time to go to my local soccer bar and watch the game. For those of you who missed the "Portland's Better" chant, here you go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyWkIHP7DDA
You sound like a Seattle fan. It's okay to admit your team got bodied by a team we beat pretty handily.
That being said, I hate the pace of this Vancouver game. We need to push more. We need to play faster.

Yep Seattle fan and yes Portland are terrible.
This game was disappointing. You'll get bodied next week though, no worries.
Just to be clear. Whether Seattle lose or not has nothing to with Portland being a terrible team.
I kid you though. Portland are all right.
They are ok if you enjoy draws.

It sucks to see the Whitecaps struggle. I thought Martin Rennie could've been an elite coach...
Okay, 3 scoreless draws after having over 65% possession.
I was going to check this anyway today, so let's break down who's left "in the hunt" and who they play:
- NYRB should win their last two games, but I don't think they are locks. If they win or draw though that will be 9 straight unbeaten game to finish the season. I'm guessing the have 1 win and 1 loss, so 3 points.
- RSL 3 points in the Chivas game. I don't know about the Portland game honestly. Being in Oregon, I have to give Portland the edge.
- SKC should win all their remaining games as well but I doubt they have the chops. We'll either lose or draw in Houston, we should win v D.C. but we are having problems in games at home. The CCL then Philly game will be hard. I think if we lose or draw the CCL game we will be tough in Philly, especially since they just stole one here. I still feel like we should have 6 more points at the end.
- Seattle has two tough games and two they should win. I think they beat Vancouver and Dallas, but they will drop at least 1 between Portland and L.A. Both are tough since its on the road in Portland and the L.A. coming 3 days after a CCL game. I'm saying 7 points out of the last four for them.
- Portland probably have the best chance to win out. The play Chivas and the road and have two home games. I know their opponents are tough but Portland is rocking right now. I don't think they will win out though and are more like to get 7 out of their last 3.
- Galaxy should get some point but they don't have a walk to the end. Montreal win, San Jose win, and lose/draw to L.A.
- Colorado and Vancouver games should be good. I think they'll split 1 and 1 and San Jose will probably take them in San Jose. I think they end with 3 points.
With the first tie break being wins, I'm think the standing end up like this*:
*Standings barring wherever Dynamo/Houston/Philly do in their games, but I don't feel they will be in contention for the top spot when the end comes.

i think we have the easiest schedule even though we're tied with the fewest games left. We just need Seattle to draw or lose which I think is possible with two Cascadia Cup games and a game against LA in their schedule.
SKC has a gimme in DC at home but I see Philly away fucking things up for you guys.
At the same time I can see us in the driver's seat against Chicago and Mike Magee, former Metro, scores an equalizer in the last minute to have us lose the cup.
So yeah, Seattle is gonna take it. Sigh.

Just came to post this! Good stuff, watched for awhile but had to step away and missed the actual vote. No worries, the outcome is all that matters.
Additionally, the USWNT is playing Brazil at the Citrus Bowl in November.

I wish I shared the rest of your confidence about the Sounders getting the shield. Dempsey and Oba probably missing more games, Eddie and Brad on International duty, and the complete collapse the other day... I'm not nearly as confident as I was a few weeks back.
I don't think 7 points in 4 games is that much of a stretch, even with Demps and Martins out. They should end up with 6 at least and that keeps them toward the top and still allows them to win it if another team falters. That extra game they have really puts them in the driver's seat.

Demps and Martins and Eddie and Brad and Djimi Traore and Zach Scott and Shalrie (lol) and Leo Gonzolez...
I mean, we got some depth up here, but yikes

I'd still take the Sounders' table position over anyone else's at this point.
True but I wouldn't take their injuries or their schedule.
That's why I feel like it's a toss-up
A point is a point. Would have really liked to have taken three here but Houston played us tough. Philly won't be a walk, but we should win it and the D.C game. If we do that's 7 from the last 3 games and will definitely help with the SS race.
Praying for a Seattle loss. Sorry Sounders fans, but I hope you go down tonight.
