Welcome back Ismitje!

For those who enjoy women's soccer (because you like the play, because you like staring at them, or because you can't believe that a team that plays in New Jersey can actually win games), St. Louis is hosting Sky Blue in the WPS Semifinal on FSC now.

[Ismitje]

I am shocked at the lack of LLWS-related outrage right now. ;)

EDIT: Ah, darn. No endless game, so we can't have the outrage tonight. Maybe tomorrow! :)

[Knave]

ESPN's hatred of soccer is oozing through my TV!

OOZING!

[Knave]

Oozing stopped! :D

Clutch grand slam. That kid obviously loves MLS. Doesn't want us to miss anything.

******** Sky Blue:rolleyes:

It's strange seeing Blanco wear a tie. It seems like he's missing something to wear it around. Regardless, it was crooked and somebody should have fixed it.

[Ismitje]

Not being sure enough about Birchall, I don't know if LA has two or three defensive midfielders in the lineup?

Also, if this is the MLS Game of the Week, what will ESPN call tomorrow night's NER-SSFC match?

[Sandon Mibut]

Is Tim Ward hurt or is there some other reason he's not dressed?

[scaryice]

Yes, he's hurt.

[CrewDust]

O/U on Becks Red card references tonight? 12?

Fought Bakary Soumare first, then Dennis Hamlett?

Or, he's there in a toupe.

Drink.

What's with the matching off-color grass near each penalty box?

[profiled]

Doesn't look like a sell out, are Chicago fans as bad at coming late as LA fans, or did a bunch of people just not come after Beckham's red card (sorry, drink!).

I was wondering the same thing. The grass looks good, but there are spots on both sides.

No shows

I chuckled when that kid hit that ball - he has no idea how many random soccer fans he made happy with that hit. Clutch.

What are the odds on John Thorington scoring against the G's?
