MLS Cup Final 2021: Portland Timbers v New York City FC | Football

45 min: No team has taken the initiative since scoring.

As I was typing it, Blanco tore a shot from 25 yards, which crossed the post, two feet from the balance.

If you are a youth coach and want to show your players how not to play defense or goalkeeper, here is the NYCFC goal:

The goal was scored from a Morales free kick, and he kicked it out on a bad leg. Castellanos have more space, and goalkeeper Steve Clark offers the least resistance.

Meanwhile, the reprint shows the NYCFC being hit by a shell from the Medina stand. It didn’t seem as bad as he looked, but it was by no means unforgivable.

An elegant header pulls it into the web, but now there may be an incident from the stand.

39 min: Portland’s good play at both ends was combined with a dangerous pass near the penalty spot, following which Diego Sarah neatly kicked the NYCFC counter.

38 min: Santiago Rodriguez passes for his NYCFC team, but finds the wrong side of the top net.

Damien Neva writes: “Hello! I did the tuning from Brooklyn in support of Portland (I am a long time Chelsea fan). That playing surface looks like carpet, but a superficial search says it was FieldTurf, which was made, not grown. For a club rooted in the forest, it’s kind of tense. ”

True, this floor has a reputation for being better than most.

35 min: Blanco exited the race against two NYCFC players and then reduced it.

But the big story is Morales, he is in severe pain now.

33 min: ESPN’s crew say Moralez is pushing. This is the last thing the NYCFC needs now. But the team in the blue continues to possess.

31 min: NYCFC increases pressure, Portland could not destroy. Morales gets two chances to put up a dangerous cross, but Castellanos is unable to put the second foot down.

29 min: Also Portland possession, and Sean Johnson is grateful to receive a cross from Blanco.

On the doorstep for the yellow card I request comments:

24 min: Do not give any cards, you will end up with fighting players. That’s why hockey has a code. Larris Mafiala of Portland presents a hockey-style check to NYCFC’s Scoring King Castellanos. Players complain and push. No card yet.

According to Mark Glattenberg, according to the rules of the game, Villarreal may now have been issued four yellow cards, but he does not need it. Yes, but others do.

Portland get a chance as Philip Mora’s shot is blocked. Nothing comes next corner. NYCFC breaks the other way. Real football is played.

22 min: Portland wins possession in midfield and avoids fouling. They change it anyway, and we’re back to where we were – the NYCFC keeps 20-40 yards from the Portland goal.

19 min: The move again leads to the end of Portland, with Medina touching a pair within 18. Portland breaks the other way and … this is another horrific act by NYCFC’s James Sands. “James Sands’ clever tactical mistake,” says Taylor Twellman.

16 min: Like this for Portland. Yimmy Sarah, one of the two Sarahs in the Timber XI squad, goes free in the penalty area and hits Sebastian Blanco in the shot. Timbers extend possessions with another half chance.

13 min: Portland’s George Fochev escapes offense worthy of his second card in midfield. So far the trees have done nothing else.

11 min: NYCFC’s Maxi Moralez throws header into the Portland field, into the penalty area. Villarreal is smarter than that.

This game needs serious encouragement.

9 min: English referee Mark Glattenberg at Ref Armando Villarreal: “He certainly did not want to give an early yellow card and did not want to set a precedent.”

Based on the first two mistakes in this game, Claytonberg and Villarreal need to be reconsidered.

Corner kick to NYCFC.

6 min: Medina put a kick in the leg at Aspirilla in Portland. Tonight is UFC PPV if you will.

4 min: Finally, someone on the ESPN flips the processor switch, which I can see. The five-minute test of Unimas was about to end.

No other footage was mentioned in the live statistics.

Michael Vroney writes: “Glad to see you again at the Guardian football match … Love these fans, they have always relied on support like this. M.L.S. Started… BTW, Timmers won 2-0, looking forward to a fun game! ”

Both you and me.

1 minute: Maxi Moralez is shooting for NYCFC. It was saved. I get this from this M.L.S. The site because ESPN’s processor for displaying ABC Sports content has not yet shown this game.

My apologies for the technical issues with not being able to catch the kickoff. How is it going?

Meanwhile, advocates for promotions / discounts in American football have complained on Twitter that they are being misrepresented. It is the same movement that has long insisted that individuals should be paid under the desk for pointing out legitimate business reasons why this is not happening. M.L.S., Former U.S. football captain Sunil Gulati And the ghost Chuck Blazer, Falstaffian who became FIFA / CONCACAF Whistleblower under duress.

That’s Twitter for you.

If you want to chat with me during the game, please tweet uresduresport – What do you know, email me.

Various formats for MLS can be discussed, including the possibility of promotion / discount and immediate change of playoff structure after discussing basketball rules that allow you to operate within 30 seconds to eight minutes. Yes, we’ve been running the MLS broadcast window for a long time now. Thanks for missing all the free throws, Yukon.

For TV viewers in the United States: The good news is that the Connecticut-dominated women’s basketball team has moved away from UCLA, annoying other teams who think it would be nice if someone else wins for a change, meaning our pre-broadcast game is over. Time.

I spoke very quickly, hitting the UCLA 3-poiner and lowering the lead to nine, enough to make the Bruins feel justified in taking the deadline to extend the last minute to an hour or more.

But the other good news is that American game Broadcasts will start long before the game starts, so kickoff will be between 3:15 ET and will be our final destiny with robots from Proxima Centauri.

How NYCFC got here: Bringing the charm of the Manchester City / New York Yankees branch Patrick Vieira Coach David Villa, Andrea Birlow And Frank Lampard Faded. There is a good team in its place.

Just like the other wins M.L.S. The teams of recent years, following in the footsteps of Atlanta United, have a longer list of good players from South America and the European countries that have not been heralded than the famous players from England and Italy.

The Man City Light Blue team beat Atlanta 2-0 in the first round, shocked New England in the quarterfinals with a 2-2 draw, and then overtook the rest of the Philadelphia Union after the Covid ethics. Hit in the semifinals.

The mediators will mourn the fate of the revolution and the union, for good reason, but with the Golden Boot winner Taty Castellanos Placeholder Image (19 goals) up front, this is not an ineligible title contender. Argentine athlete Maxie Morales 11 aids, and the occasional American international Sean Johnson A talented goalkeeper.

All are welcome. We had a thrill M.L.S. Season marked by runway dominance Bruce StadiumThe New England Revolution in the East and an entertaining race between the Colorado Rapids, Seattle Saunders and Sporting Casey.

So, naturally, we are going to watch the NYCFC and the league championship Portland Timber.

Not the best way to determine a league champion, but it is undeniably exciting.
