HUUUUUUGE win at home last night for Columbus.
Quarterfinals Results:
-Tue Oct 31
Columbus 4-1 NYCFC
Before last nights game I ran a quick Twitter poll asking which keeper would have the better game. Zack Steffen collected 78% of the vote. Then he played really well, and the other keeper Sean Johnson had a terrible game that he won't forget any time soon.
Postgame From Columbus Dispatch:

Philly announces that Jim Curtin WILL be their head coach in 2018.
- Currently in the #1 spot in the Hot Seat.
