News: Other Team's News III [R]

Bingo. I expected Osorio to be fired after they got bombed by the Revs.

 

I'm always nervous when this happens, for fear we may lose Mariner.

 

Assistants rarely, if ever, join different teams mid-season. If you fear he may go there in the off-season, then i understand. However, the KC organization is inept, and will probably replace Onalfo within the organization, not on an interim basis. They are idiots.

 

But they are building a stadium.

 

I wouldn't be shocked if Mariner left for KC, but who's to say he wouldn't want to leave his options open for a bigger club like Vancouver or St. Louis. No offense to KC, but I think Mariner could probably take the reigns of a club with deeper pockets.

 

The problem with St. Louis is they DONT have deep pockets at all and that is why they've been passed over so far.

 

Doc's all-time favorite Rev got fired as part of this transaction as well...

Stumpy, we hardly knew ye.

 

I think it was the first time I ever wanted DC to win. Fixture congestion might help us for once!

 

That schedule is absolutely NUTS. Couldn't be happening to a nicer bunch.

 

It's not quite like our situation last year where we had just played an extra 5 games in SuperLiga going into the CCL games, so we were already tired and looking at the prospect of becoming more worn down as we entered the final stretch.

I'm glad DC has this tough stretch coming up. I just wish TFC had prevailed and faced the same extra games.

 

Looks like we're still the only MLS team to win Superliga.

 

-----and the dead Bulls are out of the CCC

 

I would be shocked if Osario does not get fired after tonights match. The team was so unorganized it's no surprise they are in last place.

Also I couldn't be any happier that fire lost, the one thing that surprised me though was no extra time. I didn't realize they changed the rules.

 

Those of us on the East coast appreciate Barcelona's starting the A team last night, so that we were able to see Messi et al in the first half and then get to bed at a reasonable hour. Credit to Seattle for playing the game like a friendly and not resorting to a hacking defense, which would have been their only chance to slow down Messi.

 

Eh?

 

hahahahaha

 

Red Bulls Eliminated
By Steve Goff | August 5, 2009; 9:55 PM ET



I've found it's impossible to read this piece from Goff without smiling...if not outright laughing!


After embarrassing themselves and the league for months, the unlova-Bulls now officially have nothing to play for.

Eliminated from the U.S. Open Cup in the preliminary stage and on course for perhaps the worst league performance in MLS history, New York was ushered out of the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday night by something called W Connection in front of tens of dozens at Giants Stadium (what, Hackensack High School wasn't available?).

The score of the match was 2-1 for the Trinidad club, the two-leg aggregate count was 4-3. As far as I can tell, W Connection had never won a CONCACAF series in its 23-year history.

 

RBNY are really blowing it. This should be a time to begin building momentum towards the opening of their new stadium. As it is, they are working overtime making themselves irrelevant. Fun to watch for us Revs fans, but not great for the league...
