SON TRYING TO BE A YOUTUBER , CA -- Columbus Crew SC gave up a goal for the first time in 299 minutes but rallied to tie with Gyasi Zardes putting in his rebound off his PK which was saved in the 79'. In the penalty kick shootout, Minnesota United FC GK Tyler Miller made another save which was enough as MIN hit all five PKs to
win the PSO 5-3. Chase Gasper's GW PK was right down the middle. CLB finishes 9th in the tourney but 1st in the Eastern Conference when regular season
hopefully resumes play later this month.
The Portland Timbers were cruising 1-0, scoring in the 67' (snapping FC Cincinnati's 277-shutout streak) after a CIN goal was taken away by VAR for an offsides in the 62', until POR GK Steve Clark made the oddest decision to try to play a CIN kicked long ball with his feet instead of picking it up and had to trip the CIN player encroaching. Jürgen Locadia stepped up and put converted giving the underdog CIN the tying goal in the 81'. It didn't stop there for these two players. In the 86', a CIN shot somehow went through Clark's hand but luckily hit the right post and bounced out. In the 88' a perfect cross gave Locadia a tap in from six yards away but he shanked it over the bar. On to the penalty kick shootout, both teams have converted their first two PKs and Locadia is up again to face Clark. This time, Clark makes the save and redeems himself. Like MIN, POR didn't miss and their 4th was the winning kick,
4-2.
So Group D and F send their second team into the Quarters (beating both teams from Group E) joining 3 from Group A and SJ from Group B. There is a day of rest and then three days of quarterfinals.
In the pool,
7 picked MIN into the Quarters which eliminated
BigRedMessi 2 and
Deutschland = Koening from winning the pool and meant
Super League was finally eliminated along with
Coronavius_Sucks! from the top 3 prizes.
Bobby Cee Racer and
Super League were the
only two to pick POR (no one had CIN) as the former now has a huge
11-point lead (70 pts). Surprisingly, he hasn't clinched the top 3 yet as he (98.4%) and
TarjetaRoja (92.2%) are
almost there, essentially leaving just one spot up for grabs. POR's win eliminated
The Six Foot Box from the winning the pool and
Futbol Fabone Eleven from the top 3. Interestingly, both of those entries are mine and that leaves 3 with a chance to win the pool and 9 with a chance for the top 3.
