Irish midfielder James Chambers may be new to the concept of American-style playoffs to crown a league champion, but he’s far from being a stranger to big games.
During his long career in his native Ireland, Chambers played in and won multiple cup titles, most recently capturing a League of Ireland Cup for St. Patrick’s Athletic in 2015 (he converted one of four penalty kicks in the shootout).
“A playoff is a new experience but it’s something I’m relishing,” Chambers said. “It’s win or go home essentially so yeah I have a little bit of experience with that but the playoff thing is a little different here.
