Your thoughts? looks like they're startign to find their stride. Sean and Harkes are looking more comfortable, graphics look better. Still have a little way to go though.

Harkes is doing well, not afraid to mock.

Other guy is still annoying me, but it might be the Howdy Doody look.

I'm really just glad this show is on.

Don't forget about them showing the wrong clips. And there's still some time left. Let's see if the run out of things to say again.

One other thing that bothered me is the fact that they showed so few highlights from the DC-CO second half. There was some real action there - esp. in overtime.

I love the music. Excellent work by MLS on the commercial.

Best show yet. My only criticism is that they seem to search for controversy. It came across as contrived. If there's genuine controversy, don't back away from it. But don't create it either.

But really, that's a minor quibble. I thought it was a very strong show tonite. They seem to be whacking away a couple of weaknesses each week.

You know they are checking out the FSW forum and looking the criticisms. I didn't hear one "Harksie" all night, and was thankful.

I sent in a couple of emails and neither one made it to air.

1) Top A-League clubs for turning out MLS talent

2) How does KC use a sub Wolff for Bo?

That's got to be wrong.

first off, i just want to say i've added several fsw emails for their game of the week and mls wrap shows in my us soccer media directory (see sig... anyone catch the number so i can add it?)


ok, on to the show


wtf was with the snafu that resulted in no post game player interviews for the dallas-new england match... and why wasn't it fixed for the replay this morning?

i think they need to add another personality to the show... it's too much just harkes and wheelock... they did a good job, imo... but there is too much of each of them... and i realize there is another guy for the quick game calls, but they still need a fourth guy (for what i don't know)

i want to see more build-up too... hell, show how a team dominated a match with their passing (even in one that results in no goal... but was great ball work)... there's more than just goals, show us that

show some cards, tackles, build-ups, sloppy play... show us some fans providing great support (when it occurs... i can't remember if they showed the flares going off in kc by the fire fans, but they should have shown it on mls-wrap if they didn't)

i don't think i'm asking for too much, they can focus on adapting those in here and there... not every game they show highlights, but make each game have some variety with how it's highlighted
