Somebody in the bar I'm watching this in just bought a round of fireball for the bar. I'll cheers it to Seattle whose flag I got by mistake instead of SKC.

The Fireball is probably palatable than this game though...

...still better than SKC-HOU was.

I like to use fireball as a spike in cider. Not so harsh then

I'd take a few fireballs over that SKC-HOU game anytime, good lord.

Also, gonna need a replay of the pass to Shea where he got hit by the ball and fell over.

Fireball just reminds me of Freshman year of College, its loving horrible but so many people drank it for some reason...

Spiking apple cider is pretty much the only way to make it decent though.

There's a few freshman liquors I think everyone can't stand once they get out of college.
Fireball, Rumplemintz, Jager, the cheapest plastic bottle vodka you can get the 21 year old to buy you, etc
I also have Jack on that list

The last time I had Jager (~4 years ago) I literally said to my table "Ugh, I am not in college anymore"...and I wound up taking the leftover shot as well because everyone else was being a wuss about it.

As a long time whitecaps fan this was a super disappointing match. Playing not to lose is a disservice to the fans most of whom would rather lose an exciting game with opportunities than nil tie a poo poo game.

Also, I get Davies is young and maybe not a starter but not even a sub? And Shea, who apparently saw an ant and died a couple times tonight, is a daily starter.

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.
Well, that was a game that happened. I am slightly scared of admire all you people who actually managed to watch and post through it instead of giving up halfway through and leaving it on in the background while playing TW Warhammer like me.

I mean I'm glad they didn't concede an away goal but man was that awful to sit through. It also means we have to win (well, or score-draw) away in Seattle, which is POSSIBLE but Robbo will definitely have to start a more attacking lineup and hope Reyna just had a bad game and isn't actually injured.

These two facts are related and I hate them both. I don't get Shea being a starter except in the sense that there isn't really anyone else for that left-sided attacking midfield spot besides Davies (maybe Techera, or Teibert if years of being inexplicably played as a CM hasn't broken him)

I too have heard this may happen starting next year (along with extending the regular season so playoffs only start after the November international break, so the season will still end in december but playoffs take half as much time), and as much as I think two-legged series are "fairer" I cannot bloody wait for it. The knockout-round games have consistently been the most exciting of the playoffs, so sure, let's do that all the way through. You want home playoff games, win in the regular season.
