MLS/USL thread [R]

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Which is why should I ever purchase a Sounders kit, it'll be the blue change/training kit. Much, much better.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Definitely a step up.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

I love the shirt, reminds me a bit of Werder Breman.

The city is nuts for the Sounders and I can't really explain it. it's deeper then new team hype.

Drew Carrey meet up with the ECS prior to the march to the stadium dropped his card at the bar and bought the house a round. Very nice.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

He's a traitor!

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

City Dave,

Word on the street is that Cleveland will play @ Columbus June 30 if they beat Rochester tomorrow. Would you be at that game (at Columbus)? I just might...

Edit: I might have that Open Cup date against Rochester wrong. Perhaps you could fill me in.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

No, the game on Saturday was a league game. And we killed them. The Open Cup game is tomorrow, Tuesday, at Rochester. And, yes, we'll be travelling to Columbus on the 30th when we win. The Green Army will definitely be making a road trip!

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

No, he hasn't played since our fourth game of the season. Not even as a sub.

We've acquired a lot of players since then, so it appears that we'll only see him again if there is an injury to a starter/sub.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Nice, should be a good atmosphere.

Besides the fact that the attendance will be lower because it's a weekday game

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Why are the Germany, Bayern and Newcastle boards so much more civil / intelligent than any United States or MLS board? I still don't understand.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

The MLS board is cutthroat and the USA board is filled with a lot of emotion. Rossi is public Enemy #1 right now more so then Bin Laden on the USA board.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Do you post at the Seattle Sounders board? Is it as filled with self-important out-of-touch soccer nerds like the rest of the MLS boards?

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

What about the Championship?

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

It's not so bad but it's hard to read sometimes. I find myself posting less frequently on BS overall these days. I've meet some great people on the Sounders and Toon board though and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

shhhhhh!

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Then get some glasses, old man!

Sorry, bad joke.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

I got some!

The Sounders threads get over run with trolls and the MLS N&A board is full of people ready to spew hate on anyone that doesn't conform to the increasingly narrow views of the Big Soccer MLS Intelligentsia. (There's a political analogy in there that I'll leave alone for the time being)

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Aw, I like you too Dirt.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Us footie fans need to stick together. (even the ones that have unsavory political leanings)

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

You going to the Barca game?

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Oh hell yeah. Barca by far is the team that gives me the most pleasure to watch on a weekly basis. I'm also going to see Chelsea but that will be just another chance to drink with the ECS. TBH I'm not a big fan of mid season friendlies I would prefer to see a league or cup match but the Barca match is going to be special.

Big news tonight if Portland Timbers win in the Open Cup since the winner plays Sounders next. This is huge and it's likely to be hosted in PDX so a massive road trip is in the works. Seriously we may bring 2k or 3k down at least. They hate us by the way.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

So special I'll be there, which was why I asked. I'll be in the third deck though.

I can't wait until PDX and Vancouver are in MLS. We'll show the rest of the country how rivalries are done.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Ya, I'm jealous. Im down here in tampa were we do not have anything. Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver should be a showcase rivalry when they get in the league.

Re: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER thread

Are you with the family or friends? Either way we should meet up for the march to the stadium and if you're with friends a pre-match pint or two (if you drink) with the ECS at Fuel.

The stories some of the boys have from Portland away during the USL days are rather eye opening to say the least. The Vancouver rivalry is more friendly but still fairly big. MLS is not going to know what hit them these rivalries go back to the 70's.
