Did you go in the Arch?

Yup, it was cool as heck. I think I was there one other time, as a really young lad, when Dad moved us from San Antonio to Pittsburgh, on the drive. But, I don't seem to remember. It's a magnificent structure.

Why are you looking at shitty Illinois?

 

I'll just add, I've been up twice. Once for a class trip when I lived in Missouri and once a few years back for Thanksgiving. I've learned never go to the Arch past 10 AM on major holidays - it's packed. But we ended up getting there at night and that was a cool way to see St Louis.

LOL.  That's on the ref. 

 

 

[Bottlecap 1523]

Miami into the semis of the Leagues Cup with a 4-0 thrashing of Charlotte.

Next up is @ Philly which should be a stiff test.

That goal is proof of why the MLS is where guys get fat. That's a beer league goal. There is no way that is scored in any top league in Europe.

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Philly's finishing--and both team's defending--has been total shit, but this has been an entertaining match.

I didn’t realize that it was on. 

I don’t have the + (trying to cut back subscriptions) and went to a friend’s last week for Dallas v Miami. 

I should have been monitoring the schedule and hit my friend up again. I do like that massage chair that I watched that other game from.

Just realized that it would have been on Unimás.

¡Que hijo de un mil putas!

I mean yes, but Nashville also knocked out Monterrey tonight to make the final. MLS needs to dominate Liga MX before worrying about Europe. Baby steps!

The look ok that kid’s face in Nashville that walked Messi out….. Pretty cool. Also good to hear boos and knowing that this crowd won’t roll over in awe like Frisco.  Hope this is a fun game. 

[Jerry Callo 8694]

I predict Nashville scores first.

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

So I admit--I am watching the Leagues Cup final ... and only because Messi is involved. His impact on Miami has been incredible.

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Jesus

[ztejas 43411]

Holy shit. Doesn't get more world class than that. That was well defended.

No, Lionel.

 

Seriously, though, I was going to post the same thing.

Consider the equalizer karma for that undeserved yellow.

[ztejas 43411]

This crowd is lit.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Unless Messi does something special, I don’t see how Miami wins this in regulation.

Well thats sort of how Miami has gotten to the final. 

[ztejas 43411]

I've always liked Shaq Moore. He's a nice little player. 

Not good enough to play for the US but I'd take him in a heartbeat for Austin. 

[ztejas 43411]

Man Muhktar is giving them fits. 

I thought the last foul on him should have been a yellow too. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

 

got the call though

[ztejas 43411]

Omfg Nashville.

[Captain Ron 12862]

OMG

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Un-freaking-believable these past couple of minutes.

[ztejas 43411]

Was he actually onside?

Yes. He caught Nashville sleeping on that corner.  It was the Messi magic. 
 

the chip was a mistake, take the extra touch around him. 

[ztejas 43411]

Feel like they should have ET for the final. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

That was an awful PK. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

Is it just me, or is the Nashville keeper going too early?

[ztejas 43411]

Instant classic.

Alba’s PK was a great example. He’s showing his direction before they kick. 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Shaq Moore's PK was surprisingly brilliant.

 

And so was Lovitz's.

[ztejas 43411]

Yeah he isn't good at saves.

It is not just you.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Let’s see if he’s good at PKs. 

[ztejas 43411]

Zero doubt he was gonna miss lol.

Losing because your keeper can't save or take pens sucks.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Good night Nashville. Drive home safely!!

[Jerry Callo 8694]

Messi puts his pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once his pants are on, he wins cups.

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

After years of ceaseless criticism, Messi has finally broken through and won the Leagues Cup.

[Captain Ron 12862]

So this means Messi has won trophies on 4 continents now right?

I think when he walked off I saw him  he mouth “better than Arrizabalaga.”

True. It was on frame.
