fun opening game in Nashville. I think the team will be solid this year once they get more time to gel.

Josef Martinez torn ACL. damn

I'm going to watch the hell out of this

will be weird (no crowds) and possibly bad

Oh it's going to be really bad

im entirely too starved of fútbol at this stage. I am a desperate man

i'll watch the hell out of it.

looks like what I paid for season tickets is gonna roll over to next year since we won't be able to see many (if any) games in person this year.

the draw for this has massively rigged energy

as long as NYCFC are all eaten by a bear on live tv i'm game

Bubble is going well.

It's the tournament Garber deserves.

truly

That wall of ads is so distracting. I feel a little guilty watching this because it's stupid and dangerous yet, as with most things MLS, it's such a dumb crazy spectacle I can't look away.

lol at Dwyer whiffing in front of an unguarded net

when your feet are too rusty to score, try fisting it in

what a garbage goal, any squad with a slightly above average defence should have broken that up. sigh

never like to see a player with his hands around his throat like that. stretcher coming

ugh. that was ugly. hope Reyes is ok.

Goal!

Tesho Akindele scores a lot of goals for a guy who doesn't look like he was made to play this game.

which probably explains why he so horribly whiffed on that one

Dwyer should have had like two yellows before he crushed that guy's throat.

Dwyer should perenially always have two yellows, he's a reckless player in general

Naniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

lol 2-0 already OCSC

of course they'd play a match like this when nobody can be there to watch. 3 goals!

I didn't see it, but apparently the Quakes/Vancouver game tonight was complete lunacy.

have they just decided every 2nd half is going to have 10 minutes of stoppage now? cos they scored the winner in the 9th minute of stoppage tonight, Orlando had 10 minutes of stoppage last night, which seemed absurd considering the drink break wasn't THAT long, and only one goal, typical number of substitutions, a few short injury stops.

i mean if u wanna get technical about, we HAVE been stopping play for months until now, thats a lot of time to make up

Was thinking about crossposting to amazing goal thread but nah

of fucking course, the first Orlando City squad that looks like it might be quality happens during a global pandemic ;)

woohoo, on to quarterfinals. this OC team is legit, just still need a more solid striker at the back. also Nani has been kind of off his game.

Nerve-racked for the second half vs LAFC

OH MY FUCKING GOOOOD

semi-finals against Minnesota. weather delay. meh

FINALS BABYYYYYYYYYYYY

TV coverage not realising Orlando had scored until a full two minutes after play had resumed - the MLS is back, baby.

That made me so fucking mad

But HEY WE BEAT ATLLLLL

It's a pretty regular thing ime, the broadcast will be f-ing around with a replay or some BS and a goal will be scored off-screen.

Fire had about 15 mins of good play tonight and that wasn't nearly enough, even though it seems like nycfc is mostly bad too. Them playing at Red Bull arena is hilarious.

Also to save money the away team broadcasters (well, for the Fire at least) are rarely on site even in non pandemic times.

amazing what having to play on a real field does to the Pigeons

mega LOLs today with Brad Guzan failing to save a ball shot directly at him and appearing to shit the ball into the goal

It was a bizarre situation. Junior Urso scored and the ref seemed to have ruled the goal out, so he started complaining and play restarted off-screen. The commentators were discussing why it might have been chalked off and were told later that it had counted. idk how they got all the players back in their own halves and kicked off again in the time it took to show a replay.

The referee was appalling. An Atlanta player was kicked by a high foot hard enough to leave stud marks in his neck, while in the penalty box - the ref gave nothing, was told to look at it again on screen, and still gave nothing. Orlando deserved to win overall, though.

I'm not used to my boys being good. Enjoying this while it lasts

Blowing a lead in both the last two games and leaving 4 points on the field...fuck.

Against Atlanta's awful team even worse. They had zero attack but it just takes 1.
