Timbers!!
Sucks that the next game is going to be during the Oregon vs Stanford game. Guess I won't be watching.

Scott was awful tonight. Lamar continues to look lost in the final third.
Major disappointment.

Please get rid of it or stop with the nonsense of one round having aggregate games.

Major disappointment is losing the first leg 3-0....again. Major disappointment is losing a US Open Cup Final on the road because your keeper "came off his line" on a PK....
I know major disappointment. I know what it is. I know what it looks like. I'm a Seattle sports fan for christ sakes.
Losing the first leg 2-1 is not that. That is an improvement. That is a winnable situation. Ozzie's goal saved this from being a major disappointment. We are in this.
It's Portland. Road stats are irrelevant. It's a different animal. I would saying the opposite if I was a Caps or a Timbers fan. It's cascadia. Stats are irrelevant. This is pure hatred and emotion. This will be, and forever will be the outlier of statistics. It happens in all derby's in the world. The hot team in the derby doesn't always win. The home team doesn't always win. It's because its a f'ing derby.
All it takes is 1 moment of brilliance.
We need our goal, and we are going to go get it.
Just believe in your team gents.
Just believe.
When you dominate a team and lose 2-1 it's a major disappointment. I'm not doubting the team or saying the series is over, I'm disappointed because we should have won the game.Smurf":1l7yueum said:knownone":1l7yueum said:That was rough to watch.

I really disagree that this was a major disappointment.
Some bounces didn't go our way. It wasn't our night and we still managed to get away only down a goal on aggregate. This was what we needed. We've never scored in the first leg of a playoff series before....and we've never lost the second leg.
Picking up a goal here was huge.
Sure, would we have liked it to be 1-0 going into portland away? Hell yes we would...but the bounces were against us tonight and we are still in this fight. We arent down 4-0, we arent down 3-0. We aren't even down 2-0. It's 2-1.
1-0 gets us extra time.
2-0 gets us a win.
We are still in this, and we played fairly well. Thursday will be our night.
Why is that every round is not aggregate?Smurf":2os3dnkc said:sammyc521":2os3dnkc said:Argh ... Playoff soccer is so dumb. Aggregate games are so dumb.

Yeah, lets just get rid of one of the best parts of the sport. The drama aggregate is one of the best things for a sports fan on this planet. IMO, few things rival it.

When was the last time that a team that lead on the road, came back to their home crowd and lost? I honestly am curious.
Nothing rivals it because there's nothing like it. No sport does a home-home series where it's basically a double-match. It would be like playing 8 quarters (NBA or NFL), 18 innings or 6 periods. If the goal is to give fans an opportunity to watch a home game... why is it not implemented in every round?

In most leagues losing 2-1 at home is a death sentence.
