wow i had no idea they did total goals (and not away goals as tiebreaker) in the playoffs - i've never noticed that anywhere. do any other leagues do it this way?

Seems like a good time for the home team to take control of the series. No, in 2 legged knock out it's more of an advantage to play the 2nd leg at home. It's based off the aggregate score, and goals scored in the away game count as the tiebreaker. So if we lose 3-2 away and but win 2-1 at home we would advance 4-4 having scored 2 away goals to their 1. Not sure if this is the case in MLS playoffs. Plus in the second leg you know what score you need to advance if you lose the first leg, and you have the home crowd behind you.Actually it's different for the MLS Playoffs than basically any other cup I've ever heard of. Away goals don't weigh any more than home goals. It's all about total goals. I think the tiebreaker is just a third game played.jfc people, where do you come up with this stuff? http://www.mlssoccer.com/competition-rules-and-regulationsAnnouncers on Fox Soccer Channel. Go eff yourself btw. EDIT: Also, the link you posted has this included dumbass: Quote The four Conference Semifinals will be decided by two-game aggregate series, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. If the aggregate score is tied after 180 minutes of play, two 15-minute extra time periods will be played in their entirety, followed by penalty kicks, if necessary. The two Conference Championships will be single games hosted by the higher seed. MLS Cup will again be a single championship match hosted at a predetermined site to be announced at a later date. In other words, LHarKSUCat was right.I was agreeing with LHarKSUCat. I was facepalming you tards that brought up the weighted away goal, which does not exist in MLS playoffs, and especially the mystery 3rd game tiebreaker, which you completely made up. Notice the text that I quoted. i mean, jfc dude. You are calling me a dumbass because the link I provided is correct? Me and Abe Froman follow European soccer, so that's why we thought the away goal rule existed. Sorry for not being an expert on rough ridin' MLS playoffs rules. And I thought I heard the Fox Soccer announcers say something about a third game tiebreaker, but they clearly just said two fifteen minute extra time periods. You do realize that MLS is a terribly run organization. There shouldn't even be an Eastern and Western Conference. It should just be a table of eighteen.

Both can be accomplished if you leave midway through the 2nd half.
vermes just got clown suited. haven't watched much of SKC this year. are they always so wide? houston just basically routed the SKC attackers into the least threatening positions the entire match and they did nothing different to try and get inside. maybe the youth and inexperience of the front 3 of SKC are to blame.
