Losing 1-0 at HT. Just caught it.
Colorado and LA Galaxy gone to penalties now on Sky Sports 5.
Doyle luckily scores his!
Colorado win... Keane never even got to take one.
I think Keane was lined up to take the fifth penalty. Doyle, as you say, very lucky to score his, terrible penalty. He's on to the next round against Seattle now, Keane and Gerrard are very likely done in LA.
I assume so, always a risky tactic. Seattle aren't quite there yet but lead 3-0 from the first leg. Are these quarter finals so?

Yes, they are. Montreal will play Toronto in one semi and Colorado will play Seattle in the other. The semis are over two legs and the final is a one match play off held at the stadium of the team with more regular season points.
Too many washed up has-beens in the MLS these days looking for a final pay packet before retirement. Pirlo, Lampard, Keane, Gerrard, Villa, Drogba, etc. None of them are good enough to have a place in the starting lineups anymore.
Toronto FC for years pursued players like this and went nowhere. They finally said forget it and began targeting guys like Michael Bradley and Giovinco who are both still in their twenties.
Drogba actually threw a hissy fit and refused to report to a match a few weeks ago when he was told he'd be coming off the bench. The manager said fine, we don't need you anyway, you're useless at age 38 and can barely run. Drogba had to swallow his pride and come off the bench for the last fifteen minutes today.
Keane's decline seems to have been pretty much overnight at that level? I just assumed he was being phased back after injury.
Keane has 10 goals in 17 appearances this year though. That's hardly 'washed up' form really?

You're off your head if you think Robbie belongs to your list of washed up has beens who had been looking for a final pay packet before retirement when he signed for the LA Galaxy in 2012.Originally Posted by Colbert Report
No no, I don't mean to say that Robbie was washed up when he signed for them in 2012. He's been one of the, if not the, best player in the league since then. He has suffered a serious loss of form this season, especially since he came back from the Euros. He's just not able to run anymore! Yes, he has had a multitude of injuries, but that can only be expected for a man his age playing against guys that are fifteen years younger.
Giovanni dos Santos is the main man for the Galaxy now. There's a reason that Keane and Gerrard didn't make it into the starting XI for the last few weeks, and I don't think it was injury. Both of them will be allowed to leave.

Doyle gave Colorado the lead but they lost 2-1 last night in the first leg of their Western Conference playoff against Seattle. His deflected goal is pretty much at the start of the video below. The second leg is on Sunday.
Lost 0-1 (1-3 on agg.).
Starting for Colorado against New England Revolution tonight. Streams available from the usual sources
misses out against New York Red Bulls with sickness: https://twitter.com/danielboniface/s...55184372092929
Might be concussion.
He was featured in a good article in the Indo the other day about the dangers of playing on with head injuries - which he has several times in the past.
Back in the starting XI for Colorado tonight against Minnesota United
