I'll allow it.

This is the only game in their history.

I have no problem keeping them where they are and giving them the ax.

In general I hate expansion and franchise relocation. With the exception of the Mets, Islanders, Seahawks, and Mariners (who all violate the anti-expansion rule), I'd like to see each league return to its roster of teams from its first season. NL 1876, AL 1901, NFL 1922, NHL 1923, NBA 1950.

Perhaps each team could also only be comprised of players who were on those original rosters? We don't want any expansion players coming in and replacing the good names like Foghorn Bradley, Norb Sacksteder and Babe Dye.

They actually have playoffs in England for teams to be promoted, with the finals at Wembley. There are also some countries where you can stave off relegation through playoffs.

The Dutch also have Playoffs for Champions League and Europa League spots. Also, Mexico and Australia and others have playoffs as well.

That loud groan you heard was from the MLS league office as Columbus beats Atlanta on Kicks.

One and done?

Harsh.

If I'm reading this right we get the winner of KC/Houston. Anything to choose from them? KC* is the team we crapped out against in the home leg a few years ago. It was... disappointing.

* I'm lying. It was RSL. For whatever reason I conflate the two.

The knockout round is a harsh mistress.

The league must be so excited for these playoff matchups. Two Canadian teams in Vancouver and Toronto, Columbus the red headed stepchild, and Houston. They must be begging for Seattle-Portland and a NY derby for the conference finals.

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

And this is third year in a row that Sporting KC has lost in the Western Conference Knockout Round, last two times the team who knocked them out went on to win MLS Cup,

So congratulations to the 2017 MLS Cup winner the Houston Dynamo!

Works for me.

We would need to have a wager. If Seattle wins I give you a rose. If Portland wins you give me an emerald.

Attention Attention...England wins the World Cup!
(U-17...but still...)

The turf gods in Houston have given Portland a mighty “**** you!” with 3 injuries and subs in 60 minutes.

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

With the rash of boring MLS Playoff games due to the two leg format plus away goals Grant Wahl has the solution: Group Stage!

Ugh, Wahl has beating this drum for years and it’s still not a good idea. Even his World Cup analogy is bogus as there are plenty of boring group stage games at the World Cup. And the amount of dead rubbers on that last day would be excruciating, nothing says playoff excitement like Toronto’s backups versus an already eliminated, not giving AF Columbus!

Draw on the road. Not sure the extent of the injuries, the Timbers recap does not even mention them.

Columbus came to play tonight.

r/MLS is a hoot to read right now. Between this video of a lovely chant to their owner Precourt (NSFW), the reported attendance number of 14000 versus the photos (seems the owner may be lowballing it), and of course the stories of closed entrance gates to bottleneck crowds and make the stadium appear empty at the beginning, it's fascinating.

But yeah, RIP NYCFC. Viera can't manage in the playoffs.
