    OH man ... I sure hope you guys get a team and soon.

    I hate to see you all getting worked up just to be let down from a press conference that is very clearly NOT regarding league expansion.

    Go I can't wait for the Dynamo to play a Philadelphia team. I'm still mad about a mediocre NASL Philly team beating the Houston Hurricane in the playoffs in 1978, when the Hurricane had the best record in the league.

    Good luck guys.

    Just trying to be positive and keep folks interested...not trying to cry wolf. We are just trying to justify the inordinate amount of time/money we spend on this.

    Not a day goes by when I don't think about that. Man, what a great match.

    As I said, I doubt that Garber is that beguiling, and really, what would the point be? I'd think that if there were expansion news, he would come right out and say it. that would generate a lot of interest, especially round here.
    only other thing I can think of is if expansion is going to be announced, it is not the only competitive initiative being announced. he might say that starting in 2008, the following rule changes xyz will be implemented, and oh by the way we'll have 3 more teams in the league also.
    but my money says that there will be no expansion announcement on Monday. I hope I'm wrong, but that's my feeling.

    Precisely.

    So allow us false hope every once in a while.

    I have a false hope involving Philadelphia, so I don't dare disparage yours for fear of jinxing mine.

    Will you soil yourself if the unexpected happens and Philadelphia is included in the speech?

    I am not sure about praying to Mr. Penn, but a large cash donation to Mr. Garber's fav charity will go a long, long way.

    think an SoB scarf would suffice?

    the MLS page says you can listen to it on mlsnet.com ... any idea where the link is/will be?
