SPI predictions:

 

[B-Dubs]

This is getting me nervous, I feel like we're too favored to win. I'm afraid something will go horribly wrong.

Report: Club America in discussions to sign Fabian Castillo

Sad to see him leave the league if it goes through. Also, damn, can dude get through the rest of the playoffs before questioning were to go next season?

The based god shines his light down on you and the New Jersey Energy Bros.

 

[Dartastic]

UH OH, NAGBE IS IN FORM. DALLAS FANS KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

Meanwhile, we're the underdogs, it seems. I'm okay with that, for some reason. Send us your energy.

 

[Esch]

I'm thinking

NY 3-1 Crew
Dallas 1-2 Portland

 

[Dr Campino]

So, I have a couple of weekend trips coming up in the coming weeks. Because I'll be on a train next Sunday, I can't watch the second leg of the conference final.

I was going to be on a train during MLS Cup, too, so I definitely booked the Monday off work, so I can travel that day instead of Sunday.

No way I'm just missing the final.

 

[sazabirules]

I missed the news that Bob Bradley is coaching in France now. I'm looking forward to see how he does in Ligue 2.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Copa America 2016 venues:

Depending on my traveling schedule, I might be able to make it to a couple of those games. Any word on ticket prices?

No Atlanta?

They won't have a stadium that fits the criteria. However, speaking of Atlanta, I hope they develop a good rivalry with OCSC (and Beckham FC whenever that comes). Would be good for the league and soccer in the SE.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Agreed. It sounds too good to be true.

Also, local news brought up the Red Bulls/Crew match and had a quick interview with Dax BEFORE a preview of the Jets game this weekend. Progress!

 

[Dartastic]

I think tomorrow I'm gonna make an official thread in the off topic section if you guys are cool with it. It's the conference finals. It's a big deal. Do you think that we should have one?

I would say maybe for MLS Cup. But maybe not conference finals.

 

[B-Dubs]

Agreed.

 

[Cornballer]

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. It makes sense for MLS Cup, but I don't see the need for the Conference finals.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Just dropping by to say GO TIMBERS!

 

[imBask]

i'll root for the Timbers too, I guess

 

[The Culture Vulture]

[Dartastic]

Just dropping by to say GO TIMBERS!

i'll root for the Timbers too, I guess

Thanks dudes! IM SO EXCITEDDDDD

 

[B.O.O.M]

Thanks dudes! IM SO EXCITEDDDDD

Timbers all the way man. Not gonna lie I haven't gotten into MLS...yet. But I lived in Portland for about 8-9 years and love that city. Big Trailblazer fan too. So naturally I support the Timber Army

Hope you're watching today. It's gonna be a hell of a game.

Side note, the only game I didn't watch live was the 4-1 loss to Dallas earlier in the year. So by sports juju purposes, obviously that loss is my fault. Good thing I'm gonna be at this game today.

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Go Crew Go!

 

[ZZMitch]

Great game so far early goals always up the tempo

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Columbus DOMINATED the first half.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Halftime couldn't have come fast enough. Time to readjust and tie it up.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

2-0 CREW

 

[Cornballer]

Wow, nice moves there before the initial shot.

 

[Dr Campino]

I like seeing all those Red Bull defenders just standing there.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Three minutes seems like a lot.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Hell yes, great win.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

 

[imBask]

 

[Dartastic]

You already won the supporters shield RBNY fans. Dont feel too bad.

Root for us. We haven't won anything ever and it would be great to have us be the first Cascadian team to win the cup.

 

[Esch]

terrible terrible terrible defending

 

[Shadow2222]

That was a great game! Now I have to root for Portland, since I have tickets to the MLS Cup game in Columbus should the Crew and Timbers advance.

 

[shoplifter]

[Dartastic]
