I wouldn't quite go that far. Since Colorado and Toronto are taking home one goal deficits with one and two away goals respectively, both have very reasonable chances of advancement.Everything is set up for Seattle to host Montreal. That would be epic.
I was certainly a bit too optimistic in that post, but the chance of Seattle hosting is on the table. Which is all you can really ask for as the No. 4 seed.I wouldn't quite go that far.

Colorado is an undefeated 12-6-0 at home this year. However, they've lost Sam Cronin to yellow card accumulation. He's kind of a boring DM, but he does a lot of dirty work and they don't have a good like-for-like replacement. That's not the sort of player you want to lose when you need to figure out how to contain Nicolas Lodeiro.
It is remarkable, and yet classic MLS. Seven years of making the playoffs and failing to get to MLS Cup, and the one year where they looked awful halfway through the season, they pulled it together and went on a huge run to the final.Holy shit. They finally make the final, this year of all years. Go Montreal!
Indy Eleven and the Carolina RailHawks seem solid, but the league has a weak bench.Are there any teams in that league that are just boringly stable & somewhat successful? It really feels from news coverage like a few are very successful demos for "give us an MLS franchise" and the rest are disasters.
The situation is still unclear. There are some reports that the Cosmos aren't quite done yet, but may be hoping that an outside group will come in to buy/invest in the club.Reports are circulating that the Cosmos has informed the league they are folding.
Isn't the whole point of NYRB to market their energy drink owners? Why would Red Bull change the name?I continue to root for the Cosmos to die so RBNY can get the name and logo.
Well, if business takes a downturn and they look to sell some of their sports holdings, the club will need a new name. You never know.Isn't the whole point of NYRB to market their energy drink owners? Why would Red Bull change the name?
How much are season tickets for the Rapids, if you don't mind me asking? I've looked into them for the Sounders and they can be had for $495 - granted those are second deck end zone seats. I have no idea if that is good or bad, though.I was a season ticket holder for the Rapids this year. No idea the season would be so exciting when I upped for the package (I mostly just did it because it was cheap). Disappointing end, but not exactly unexpected given how well Seattle was playing, and I'm cautiously optimistic the Rapids will maintain or improve for at least the next year or two.
Yeah, I sprung for the East Sideline which is a great location. Comes with what I imagine is a standard package for most teams around the league: some extra tickets, discounts on additional tix, discounts on beer and food, etc. A (good) season ticket for the Rapids costs about as much as a second hand ticket for a single Broncos game, which again I imagine is pretty typical for a lot of areas with NFL and MLS teams.It looks like the Rapids go as low as $340 for the small stand on the north side which, I think, is the main supporters section and functionally SRO.
The Revs are even cheaper; the Fort is $307, the corners are $336, and the non-midfield sideline is $441.
Yup, and if Montreal could get another, Toronto would need 3.Piatti! 2-2 and that's a HUGE goal for Montreal. They're now even on away goals so if Toronto scores an aggregate equalizer it will now go to extra time.
