News: MLS 2014 season (non-Revs) [R]

LOL - I know I'm in the clear minority here, but I love Benny.

“@SMErickson7: Good to know that @b_feilhaber22 worked hard on his douchiness this past offseason #nerevs” I always work hard!! 💰

@b_feilhaber22 All you do is win tackles and complete passes and wear gloves and work on your douchiness.

Vancouver is running train on NY Red Bulls. I love it.

 

DCU supporters thank Clyde Simms. Nice.

 

Parkhurst earns pk, saves goal off line as Crew blank United 3-0.

 

I watched most of that game.

Parkhurst was fantastic. MOTM level for the Crew. He was calm on the ball, he tackled when needed, as always he did not give up stupid fouls, EJ could not beat him for pace as he was able to keep him contained and not allow him to turn, earned a PK for his team and saved a ball off his line.

It was as good a performance as you could hope for especially a first game with a new team.

 

Benji Joya just scored less than a minute into his MLS debut.

 

Chad Barrett scores late winner for Seattle..... Michael Parkhurst smothers DC attack.


Why can't we get players like that?

 

The ex-Revs could almost field a solid starting XI:

GK:
RB: James Riley
CB: Michael Parkhurst
CB:
LB: Seth Sinovic
LW: Kenny Mansally
DM: Jeff Larentowicz
AM: Benny Feilhaber
RW:
FWD: Clint Dempsey
FWD: Chad Barrett

 

Don't forget about Nyassi on the wing

 

He wants to go to Brazil

 

Is he still in the league? I don't think he stuck around with DCU.

 

NYCFC asks fans to vote for final club badge ahead of March 20 unveiling

That circular badge is so classy it hurts.

 

That actually helps our terrible start!

 

Yes, noticed that too. Philly salvaged a single point on the road, otherwise it'd be a clean sweep.

 

Ops, Sainey is no longer in the MLS. Anyway, I saw Tony Lochhead is on Chivas now, so he could fill in the other CB!

 

That's impossible. Europeans teams wouldn't want to loan players to MLS. There is no point in considering such opportunities.

 

At 5-foot-6 , 140 I'd be surprised if he can still play after this season

 

Djalo is a decent player and a nice pickup for SJE. As noted he's not the biggest player but he's quick and skilled. He should start for the Quakes on the wing.

 

Size is overrated for attackers, particularly winger/forwards. Joao Plata seems to be doing pretty well.
