We’re actually past the first leg of each semi for the playoff.

Bristol City-Sheffield United are one of the semis and Sheffield has a massive lead up 3-0 about to head home. They played yesterday  

Sunderland scored late to take this one 1-2. They head home with that lead.

The next legs are Monday & Tuesday.

Coventry had a terrible back pass that directly lead to Sunderland's second goal.

If Coventry doesn't win this one, Haji is going to remember that miss for a long time.

coventry look content to settle for kicks

Sunderland have had them under siege the last 5-10' or so.

They haven't been able to get possession and really make a good attack much this period.

Leyton Orient scores in the third minute.

Just a few days before scoring two of the biggest goals in Leyton Orient's 143-year history, Charlie Kelman is reflecting on his love for Dallas, Texas. The accents, the heat, the food, the inescapable shadow of AT&T Stadium - all are so far away from where he is now, but in many ways, all have played a part in getting him there. The Texas accent was lost years ago, but it's still a part of his past and, maybe if he keeps walking the road he's walking on, his future.

No American striker has been as prolific as Kelman this season. His 21-goal campaign earned him the League One Golden Boot and lifted Leyton Orient, a club that has spent all but one of those 143 seasons in England's lower leagues, into the promotion playoff.

"Obviously, I want to play in a World Cup for America," he begins, listing off his goals one by one as if the checklist was sitting in front of him. "I want to play at the AT&T Stadium. That would be special because I've been there on countless school trips. I just want to score as many goals as possible. I want to play at the highest level I can. I want to play for FC Dallas or get to the Premier League and play for West Ham. I know Leyton Orient fans won't like hearing all of that, but these are all my next steps, but obviously I have to take it a step at a time and prove that I can do it."

Ok so was surprised to see the home/home format for L1 but since the final is at wembley I assume that’s a single match?

Yes. For all levels.

And I love the home and home format. It gives us great endings like this week. Or this one from 2013. For those that don’t know it was 2-2 on aggregate when this video starts, well into stoppage time
