The Minnesota Toluca game went to pens because of a PK/second yellow VAR call at '73 which I think was correct but only happened because I also think the ref gave Toluca a corner on what should have been a goal kick.
Semi-related. ASA ran an interesting article 2 months ago about passing. Well worth reading but the very short of it is in big European leagues, a team that excels in passing stats is also a good winning team, but in MLS the correlation does not really exist. The theory is in the Premiere League, eg, there is a vast difference between the talent levels of the best and worst teams, so the good teams play pretty football and the poor ones play bunker, kick and run. But the talent disparity in MLS is nowhere near as big because of the salary cap rules. So the best teams do not necessarily feel free to play an intricate passing game, and poor teams sometimes try and fail.Watching the RB Philly PKs was a natural way to confirm that I still dislike the RB more. I couldn’t help rooting against the RB even for Philly.

This is pretty good by Curtin
Credit where due. That was a good tifo.
3 minutes into the Miami-Philly game and “best XI” Elliott is slow as shit on a simple long ball and Blake forgets how to play goal and it’s 1-0 Miami.
It’s like this is scripted or something. Why can’t Philly make ass mistakes like that against NYCFC.
What will be funny is if Philly loses this and for all its efforts in the Leagues Cup it comes close but not enough for another trophy.
Andre Blake sucks now huh?lol messi shoots from 35 on the ground and beats blake? WTF?

Counting the Garber bucks for match fixing?
Scriptwriters would have philly coming back to tie (including a Gazdag penalty because of course) for Messi to score a free kick in the 94th minute to win.I have a lot I’d like to say about this game but don’t want to Shwafta it lol
