2021 MLSAces March Madness - Elite 8
WE ARE DOWN TO IT FOLKS! It is Elite Eight time for the 2021 MLSAces March Madness! The Sweet 16 is over and we have some interesting results. The March Madness fun continues! This round we saw close to 400 votes on social media and I will say… a lot of blow outs.. Very anticlimactic but I mean… you voted. Let’s get into the results and start up in the Producen Vaughnders Conference:
The #1 #SavedTheCrew did their business and ran the old 2017 TFC Treble out of contention! Crew fans showed up and showed their support just like they did when Mr. Precourt was around. The #1 seed will be taking on the upset of the #3 seed Schlegel PK Goalie. The #3 seed, in a very close matchup, beat out the #2 seed of the BPC Opening up MLS Is Back. With the last matchup here in this conference, who will represent Vaughnders?
Moving on: #1 #SavedTheCrew & #3 Schlegel PK Goalie
If we move directly down from that conference, we run into our “Timber Jason Vevang Conference”:
I would like to call an investigation into the actions of Timber Jason. He seems to have been persuading the masses in getting his favorite #4 seeded RFK Raccoons to this point. While the investigation is ongoing, the raccoons beat out #8 seeded RSL cat and are onto the next round. On the other side here the very famous #2 seed 90’s Style PKs have continued their high seeded run and DOMINATED the voting vs the #6 seed Josef’s record breaking goal and look back at Brian Rowe. Can those pesky raccoons take down another giant?
Moving on: #2 90’s Style PKs & #4 RFK Raccoons
Now let’s move over to the right side of our bracket where we see our “Uncle Daddy Sam Nelson Conference”:
The LA Galaxy fandom still reigns supreme after this round. In a surprising vote we saw a #1 seed go down! #4 seeded Zlatan El Traffico GOALAZO beat out the #1 seed of Beckham arriving in LA. Galaxy fans you’ve spoken on what’s more important to you. Then on the other side of things, we had the closest voting of this round. The #3 seed of Cozmo’s sign to Jose got the slight edge over the #7 seed Basti bringing a World Cup to Chicago. The vote came down to a split over social media votes. But now we have another Galaxy v Galaxy moment coming up...
Moving on: #3 Cozmo’s sign to Jose & #4 Zlatan’s El Traffico goalzo
Let’s finish up with our final conference in the bottom right with our “Tom Sweezy Conference”:
In the battle of angry coach rants the #1 seed of Vermes’s “Fuck off? Fuck off!” moves on! Vermes > Bob… duh. But in all seriousness this GIF-able moment was able to beat the priceless clipped audio that leads off Extratime. Then in the battle of Drunk Bruce and Pissed Deuce, the Deuce won. Dempsey’s wild moment of ripping the ref’s book was the fan favorite once again and this USMNT G.O.A.T. is ripping throw his opponents.
Moving on: #1 Peter Vermes “Fuck off? Fuck off!” & #3 Dempsey rips ref’s book
The new matchups for the Elite 8 are set, voting will be up on Twitter/Instagram by end of day on March 31st… check out the live bracket and GO VOTE!!!
