Spot the Diffidence
Posted 24 Sep 2009 at 09:26 PM by Dan Loney
There's a promotion on the MLSnet front page that is tough for me to resist - you see, I love "Spot the difference" games.
Unfortunately, actually playing the game probably puts you on the AXE BODY SPRAY!!! mailing list, and I think I'd rather be on the list they were using in "Munich."
Fortunately, we can play Spot the Difference here on BigSoccer! Hear that, AXE? Hear that, Shylock Fox? You're not so tough.
Round One:
Round Two:
Round Three:
Round Four:
(withheld, because juxtaposing Sepp Blatter and Pol Pot might not be so good for our World Cup bid)
Round Five:
Round Five:
....call it a hunch.
Speaking of spot the difference - the Chivii played last night in a friendly, and only managed to draw a little over 20,000 to the Coliseum. That's just astonishing, and it doesn't speak at all well for the marketing of Club Deportivo Guadalajara in Southern California, let alone the future of...
Sorry, the Rose Bowl, not the Coliseum. As I was saying, it has to be a little worrying that...
...wait, the Rose Bowl? Isn't that a little...
I mean, what was going on at the Coliseum last night that was so important? Was USC worried that the Goats would tear up the turf?
And the Rose Bowl actually restricts the number of events that can be held - well, the City of Pasadena does - while South LA, frankly, could use the business.
It just seems like having the Dickies play at the Disney Concert Hall instead of the Knitting Factory.
Well, for anywhere in California, that was pretty substandard attendance for Big Chivas. And I think I know the reason why. If you ask me, Chivas would draw better if the Mexican league dumped the playoffs and went to a single table. Wonder if Sacha Kljestan suggested that to Vergara while he was in town?

After their offense was shut down by the Dawgs on Saturday they didn't want to take any chances against the Cougs. Sasha Hackestan might have dug up the turf with his cleats right where the USC kicker needs to spot the ball for a game-winning field goal.Quote:I mean, what was going on at the Coliseum last night that was so important?

Dude, they may have announced 250 people in attendance at the Hindenburg disaster but there is no way that there were that many people there.Posted 24 Sep 2009 at 09:58 PM by NORML

I don't know, it looked like at least that many in the newspaper photos. Probably there were at least another grand at the concession stands and in the restrooms.Quote:Originally Posted by NORML

After the first post, I clicked the properties of the image and -- Walla, Benedict Arnold. However, this might be a disingenious re-direct by the mighty cognitive powers of Loney.Quote:Originally Posted by FijiUnited

The Mexican league is never going to drop the playoff format. It's been a success since it's inception in 1970. With "la liguilla" the Mexican leagues sees a rise in attendance and ratings (eg. huge revenues, a concept too foreign to the MLS and a lot of European clubs) . Again, the only people who complain are eurosnobs who started watching football less than a decade ago and who tell you with a straight face that watching burnley v. watford is good football just because it's on the EPL. The playoff system adds excitement to the league at the end of each short tournament and money to the coffers of teams participating, so why change a successful formula.
