The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

Scoring first and then conceding an away goal a minute later is a fine start down that road!

Straight red card before halftime in the first leg, yep yep.

This is actually a disappointingly prosaic way to lose this pretty easy tournament when compared to "game abandoned due to lightning while leading the away leg" or "concede last-minute winner on which the scorer breaks his leg" or "whatever the gently caress inspired Montreal to give up six goals and give Toronto the title on goal difference." I'm not sure it is possible to top those without literal deaths.

Is that the sound of keeper penalties I hear in the distance?

edit: nope! Houston go through, Bob Bradley unfortunately won't be winning a double with TWO expansion teams twenty years apart.

US Open Cup Final: Philadelphia Union @ Houston Dynamo - September 26.

For those curious: Houston plays @Orlando before, San Jose after. Philly plays KC before, @Columbus after.

Oh do not get me wrong it is intensely funny, gallows humour is extremely my jam and some of that comes out in performative angst.

I'm used to this really, Spurs are my PL team so between the two of them if I could not shrug this sort of thing off with laughter I would have quit watching the sport LONG ago and taken up a less stressful vice like cocaine.

I hope all you fans of American teams appreciate the favour we're all doing you by keeping Toronto in the Champions League every year.

(gg, see you next year, kinda curious how this tournament will look next year with the CPL teams involved)

I'm mostly pissed because we would have won on Saturday if Jozy hadn't gotten that red at 11' with him in this kind of form.

But tonight was still a lot of fun.

No, but to your delight the last five losers have been Philly x3, New England, and the New York/New Jersey Red Bull Stars.

So many Latin American flags wrapped around players on the stage to lift the US Open Cup. Then as they take the trophy for a lap around the stadium, the music blaring over the stadium speakers is a mariachi cover of "We Are The Champions"

Sometimes I love my city.

I won't deny I wanted Philly to win but Houston could be a Montreal-esque CCL surprise next year so I can't complain.

They have the CONCACAF nature like that Impact team did, they could go far.

I don't even want to be a Montreal-esque surprise. Houston has its own pedigree in CCC and CCL. We were the first MLS team to get a result in Mexico back in 2008 and , had the away goals rule been in effect during CCC, we would have beaten one of the best teams in Mexican league history in Pachuca in 2007. Cominic Kinnear placed very little priority on international games (and US Open Cup games for that matter). I'm excited to see what a team full of Central and South American players are capable of with a coach who is interested in making a proper run at this tournament.
