Woof, missed a foul on Valeri, on the other end, a clear yellow at least and the ref only gives the foul.

The "refs shouldn't make themselves part of the game" mentality that really flares up in cup finals results in refs making themselves part of the game...by basically not doing their job.

Did the ref go back and give the yellow there? 2nd clear yellow on a dangerous tacle that he didn't pull a card if not

I signed up for a free trial with Hulu to watch and it won't play! Per Twitter I'm not the only one being hosed by Hulu. So now I signed up for a free trial with Fubo and am watching. Reward me with a win, Atlanta.

A sliding tackle through the back of the man setting up a goal is very MLS from what I've seen of MLS

Wasn't much on it onn replay, but getting both hands on it and shoving it well out was very good goalkeeping

The Timbers started to finally show a bit of danger on the counter in the last 15 minutes. If they can avoid any more defensive breakdowns, they have a chance.

BTW on replay that Almiron overhead was filthy, live I thought it was going off frame, but that was going to be a goal if the keeper didn't get to it

Tata pulls Josef Martinez like it's a game in mid-July and he wants to keep him rested. That being said, Atlanta's lead looks very comfortable right now. And of course, Villalba >>>> Asprilla and Melano.

what is the ref doing? Didn't let the sub come in on a goal kick, then stops it for an injury away from the play?
He's been really shitty tonight, but luckily it hasn't really changed the game that much as the better team is winning.

I'm happy for Michael Parkhurst, who was previously 0-4 in MLS Cups. Can't believe it's been 10 years since he was with the Revs.

So that's goodbye to Tata Martino, very likely Miguel Almiron, and maybe even Josef Martinez. They've all been extremely fun to watch.

Atlanta had a hell of a run this year; time to retool and get ready for a CCL run.
