That was a fucking awful challenge.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Atlanta has scored twice with 9 players

 

[zroid]

Atlanta might legit win the whole thing in their expansion year. They seem to be in the best form in the East right now, while TFC seems to be piling up injuries at the worst time.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Ugh. 2 late goals.

 

[TheCochese]

That.

Fucking.

Bullshit.

Arrived in Montreal-told Alessandro Nesta will leave @TheMiamiFC & replace Mauro Biello @impactmontreal '18-source 100% certain #IMFC #MLS

Grant Wahl reported the same thing back in 2013 for what it's worth.

 

[Icolin]

Grant Wahl reported the same thing back in 2013 for what it's worth.

Rick Moffat of TSN Radio Montreal is reporting that Biello isn't coming back next season, and that there is indeed interest in Nesta.

This would be a good move by the Impact.

 

[imBask]

the Nesta thing is real, lots of reports of it this week

Biello was ONE of the issue, but it's only part of it

Alex Morgan appears to be turning into Hope Solo.

http://www.tmz.com/2017/10/03/alex-morgan-disney-epcot-police-report/

The deputy noted that Morgan was especially out of control -- "yelling, screaming and taking video and possibly pictures."

"She appeared to be highly impaired. Deputy Johnson heard Ms. Morgan make a loud verbal statement that she knows the Orlando SWAT team."

 

[Clydefrog]

I wish I could get drunk with Alex Morgan at Disneyworld.

Giovinco is coming back, and isn't everyone else healthy now?

Didn't Vazquez just get hurt? And who knows if Seba will be 100%...

 

[Dr Campino]

Fortunately, the official injury report only lists Seba, and as questionable.

 

[Meier]

Forgot to do my fantasy lineup -- the game last night was so early in comparison to the others this week! Doh.

Hopefully MLS announces soon that Dallas has to forfeit the match the other night.

Bullshit.

Heh.

 

[perfectchaos007]

lol. If USA takes an L on Friday fire everyone.USA should never not qualify for a world cup.

 

[Cornballer]

Anyone else nervous about the qualifier tomorrow?

Very. Almost as much as for an actual World Cup game lol

Source tells me #MLS has decided to fine FC Dallas for the Barrios roster violation. No points dropped or added for either team.

Absolutely cowardly bullshit from MLS.

We usually do well when our backs are against the wall, but...Extremely nervous. If they score first, I am going to attempt to hibernate for 4 and a half years.

 

[uncredited male]

I will be nervous until shit is finalized one way or the other. But if we don't make it I will be over it in about 10 minutes.

I think this means RBNY can just start Baah and pay the fine, which is great news since he's all better and we need a CB.

yeah seems like a bad precedent to set.

True. It'll be a nailbiter. I'd expect the US to pull it out, but Panama will do everything to keep the game tight and try to sneak a counter attack or set piece goal.

Absolutely cowardly bullshit from MLS.

If they have the rule, they need to enforce it.

 

[Oozer3993]

Anyone else nervous about the qualifier tomorrow?

I would be, but the Cleveland Indians are sucking up all my nervous energy at the moment. Though I am wearing my Pulisic jersey today. If the Indians and USMNT both lose tonight, I might look into this hot, new thing everyone's raving about these days: heavy drinking.

Well that didn’t take long...

Atlanta, you’ve broken the MLS attendance record, AGAIN

Extremely. Kickoff is at "4" but it's probably closer to 4:30, right? I won't be able to make it to the bar until around then, so I'm hoping I won't miss anything.

I also wound up getting my knockoff Gold Cup kit. It's great. I wouldn't even know it wasn't authentic if I saw someone wearing this.

United States vs. Panama
Where: Orlando City Stadium.

[Cornballer]

Confirmed.

MLS fines FC Dallas $75,000 of general allocation $ and $25,000 for using ineligible player vs Orlando City. FCD not docked any points.

According to MLS, competition rules state that punishment is at discretion of commissioner Don Garber.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Confirmed.

the points are made up and the roles don't matter

I hate it when they don't accurately report what time the game is actually starting at. Ugh.

 

[Cornballer]

US starting XI vs. Panama: Howard; Yedlin, Gonzalez, Besler, Villafaña; Arriola, Bradley, Nagbe, Pulisic; Wood, Altidore #usmnt

 

[El_Presidente]

Omar instead of Cameron is criminal.

Arena has done little to inspire confidence but hopefully we can get through this with 3 points and fix it before Russia. Really miss John Brooks for this one.

Not that I disagree but isn’t Cameron coming off an injury?

 

[Quixzlizx]

This back line is tissue paper.

 

[B-Dubs]

Are we doing the 4-4-2 again? Can we stop putting Pulisic on the wing and Nagbe in the middle?

And Bradley needs defensive help, which Nagbe and/or Arriola aren't going to provide.

 

[Cornballer]

Omar scares me, as does the lack of help for Bradley in the middle.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I’m super nervous

 

[B-Dubs]

Omar scares me, as does the lack of help for Bradley in the middle.

Jozy limping and stretching isn't a great sign either.

 

[ZZMitch]

I am actually okay with the back line. Gonzalez and Besler have played a lot together this year and done pretty well. US has only given up 3 goals in the 4 games that they have paired together.

Also Cameron is coming off an injury+ looked terrible last game.

 

[Realeza]

Let's go US!

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

In Bruce we trust.
