Great goal - stupid Josef

Great strike. A little surprised guzan didn't get to it... But still really well hit.

Total domination by Atlanta in this half. TFC barley holding on.

Just caught up after having to run out - this seemed to be where this was headed.

If you had told me we would go up 1-0 and lose 2-1 I would have assumed I would be blaming FDB. Kind of impossible to blame him - team was dominant all game. The ironic thing it’s Josef and his piss poor PKs that put us here. But how do you blame that guy?

Tough one to swallow - you can’t control a game more than that. Oh well - hope Seattle wins

This is what Manchester City fans feel like when they lose, right?

Still can’t believe Atlanta lost that match 
biggest play is the PK save - even if it’s not a PK it could have been 2-0.

Sorry man... Two great strikes and some inspired GK play on the other end (beyond the PK save) plus a very compact and organized D. Poz up "front" seemed to be playing almost entirely in the MF, so to me it looked like a 4-2-4 with Caillou and marky as the 2 and pretty much nobody up top. With atl pushing bodies up, it allowed tfc to at least get some numbers at the midfield stripe in transition..even if there wasnt any outlet past there other than possessing the ball into space and them of course those crackers (not Caillou, the goals).Still can’t believe Atlanta lost that match

As a neutral having watched the local teams sputter out of this uselessly, I was really hoping for an LA v ATL final...two most fun attacking teams in the league going head to head.
Tfc v sea isn't quite the same.

It takes the sting out them winning last year but with LA losing and having home field and then to dominate the game and lose is tough - honestly I’m just glad I wasn’t at the game - I’d still be sitting in my seat wondering what just happened

You could hear the MLS front office say "ooof!" when TFC won. It was the only one of the 4 teams it did not want in the final.
As for Bradley, MLS Cup is a $6.5m game. It is no secret that TFC want to remove him from a DP or let him go entirely in the off season, but Bradley has a clause in his contract that if the team wins MLS Cup this year, his $6.5m option year next automatically kicks in.

I still don't understand what happened to Atlanta's defense here on the winning goal. Everyone just stopped moving almost like they thought there was no way he could shoot from that far, when he was not that far away from goal. I think Gressel was the most at fault here for shutting off but there were others that could have stepped to the ball.

I noticed that too. They had numbers back as well. But maybe because he was a sub, it mucked up their coverage... Somebody clearly turned off covering.

I can tell you from recent experience, it stings more when your team plays like crap instead of dominating or playing the way they might usually. Atlanta at least played their game play it well and just finish. They were just beaten by two spectacular goals.

Rising straight up got beat. It’s easier to take when that’s the case but still sucks. I’ll always be grateful for them being a major part of my full immersion into soccer, though.

I really loved Robertson's equalizer as well. God knows how many pieces will be written on how it exemplifies Liverpool's "grit" or some other nonsense. But I think it's almost certainly a pattern of play that Klopp has worked with them on the training pitch.
Mane is switched to the right as an inverted winger so he can get the early cross in with his preferred foot. He knows exactly where he's standing it up to the back post and Robertson knows exactly where he's going as a late arriving fullback. It's a perfect example of a live play "set piece." So well conceived and perfectly executed. That stuff gives me the soccer jumpyquo.
