Sunday night....at 7 eastern time...

New England at Columbus will be on fox sports 1

I am looking forward to see Scott Caldwell, Teal Bunbury and Wil Trapp

 

speaking of Teal.....his sister, Kylie, is getting a ton of publicity.  Kylie is the star of the new show on Fox - "pitch" about the first female pitcher in the majors

It's too bad FC Cincinnati lost today and is out of the playoffs. They drew 30,000+ and set a USL playoff attendance record. Eric Stevenson scored their lone goal in the 2-1 loss.

Although the match ended in a tie, very happy to see Perry Kitchen start at RFK in the USMNT's friendly with New Zealand.

Edit - meant to put this in the USMNT thread, but it works here too.

...DeAndre Yedlin played in Gouffran with a precise threaded pass, and the Frenchman made no mistake from eight yards, rifling beyond Amos to net his fourth goal of the season. ...

I have the game recorded, so I'm looking forward to watching in its entirety.  Thanks for the teaser!

 

The Eastern Conference final should be intense.  Evan has come up huge numerous times down the stretch.  As an Impact supporter, I hope he has a few more left in the tank for mighty mouse, Jozy and Bradley.

Just as advertised, the Montreal-Toronto conference was once of the more memorable in MLS history, won by the Reds with a 7-5 aggregate score.  As an Impact supporter, I was disappointed for sure.  But the game had about as much excitement and plot twists as any.  It's too bad Evan Bush (IMO) didn't play one of his better games, especially with Bruce Arena watching (I realize Evan getting a USMNT call up is a long shot at best, but the way he played down the season stretch gave me a glimmer of hope).  I'd say the 401 derby is now firmly cemented within the big rivalries in North American soccer.
