“Crazy” describes it perfectly. “Helter-skelter” does, too. The finish was certainly exciting, but in general I didn’t think it was a very well-played game.
Love the line about this ending New York City’s “reign of error”. Brilliant. I’m going to steal it.
I’d been telling my buddy who’s just getting into soccer about the usually wild atmosphere for Portland games, and Timber Joey in particular. He was impressed with the constant singing, chanting, and drum pounding, especially when the Timbers Army practically exploded after Portland’s late goal. But I never saw the log cut. Did it not happen? Did ABC not show it? That’s as unique a tradition as there is anywhere.
All true, Grant. Johnson showed why he's earned USMNT callups during his career, and no way the NYCFC goal should have scored - but it allowed for one crazy finish, eh?
Hi Grant. I sent you a message on Messenger. Not sure if you check there. Ciao.

ESPN didn’t start streaming the game until well after the start. I was so furious at that that it was difficult to find any enjoyment in the game.
Valiant effort by NYCFC to hang in there and win on penalties. No telling how many new fans were earned with this epic final.
