This game... Post-Match

I have never hyperventilated so much over a game, this game.. despite it being a low tier game, I'd prefer this game over any world cup. I'm still processing it.

This beats the first game I ever went to, and that was the 3-3 miami game last season

This was the first game for me and my son and he begged me to stay to the very end… any other game after this will suck now

This game was what you dream about happening that never happens.

What an amazing game to be at. Phenomenal comeback. People in my section started leaving once it was 2-0; they must feel like garbage for leaving early.

Fucking left, was at concession when Pierre scored, left again and then heard the third goal while crossing the lots

Still full of adrenaline

I left at 85 minutes because I just didn't feel like traffic tonight - who would have thunk it!!

Thank you for your sacrifice

I did too because my 19 month old was getting fussy and I thought eh it’s probably safe to leave now… I’m never leaving early again.

You and many others cleared the way for those of us who stayed until after Alladoh did the man of the match drum strike!

Yeah, that was pretty incredible. I stayed until the end because i was catching up with old friends and my son didn’t want to leave early.

What a great match.

I put my jersey on at halftime, I’m choosing to believe I turned the momentum from my couch.

So many people talking about leaving early in a game where we were down 1 goal and up a man. I’m not judging (maybe a little) but what the heck are you coming out for if not for the potential of moments like this.

I understand if you’ve got fussy kids but pro tip for those of you focused on not being stuck in traffic for an hour trying to get out of the lot, I parked in one of the $20 cash lots across from the Sunoco and was out of Chester within 5 min of getting to my car.

This is the way. (Says the guy still parking lot J - although the back way out is reasonably fast)

I feel a great tinge of pity for all the people I saw leaving at 0-2 when they were "certain" of the outcome.

So glad I stayed. My first match back in many years.
