    Just like this year when we were winless in our first 8, and all Earn and Jimbo could talk about was how we were going to be this year's Seattle.

    Ahh yes, I've already appreciated the "Yeah, well, Arthur Miller married Marilyn Monroe!" line of argumentation from the Union braintrust.

    I count two reasons. Talent and coaching.

    As the old phrase goes...if you can't beat them, hope they move to the West Conference.

    The same way former Chivas fans are grabbing the black and gold of LAFC gear, I’d welcome the new franchise. Love for this club has been unrequited by ownership every step of the way. Time to root for relocation.

    Seconded. Also Jay Sugarman has to walk on hot coals all the way to his new destination.

    I feel like I may be telling you that Santa isn't real, so you may want to sit down before reading the rest of this post...

    There are no real palm trees growing on City Island.

    I understand the re-brand. We all consider the league to be "minor" league, but they are trying to shed that image in place of being more professional.

    The HCI logo, palm trees, and even the game day atmosphere sometimes screamed minor league baseball.

    I think it's a futile attempt to unseat MLS, or even look like they are on the same page, but if that's what this league wants to do, I get it.

    Should have put baseball in quotes, as it reminded me of things you'd see at a Reading Phillies game.

    I'm not sure sure about that last part. USL's whole schtick right now is to be second fiddle to MLS, and I think they've found it to be a pretty cozy spot. It's NASL that is/was on some manic crusade.

    Yeah it's more this. USL wants official second division status.

    MLS needs to fix the post season. It takes waaaay too long. Is it still happening? Who is even in it? When the hell is the last time they played? Every other league you can tune in when your team is out. MLS Feels like it has been over for months. Garbage.

    The international break in the middle of them is the worst thing ever...how can they not schedule to avoid that?

    I know Red Bull played a game. Beyond that I have no idea who else is in or when any of the game have occurred or will occur.

    MLS post-season is trash.

    There have been some really good games and storylines.. I pay attention, but the break crushes absolutely all momentum... the two legged setup is pretty shitty too because the first game is usually boring bunker trash. Should just be one game knock out.

    Seattle v Houston and Columbus v Toronto for the final four.

    It’s Tuesday
    8:30 Austin v TFC -Jozy an Gio will be in the press box 2-0
    9:30 Irma v Champs 1-1

    11/29 TFC ends the #SaveTheCrew dream with a 4-0 pasting
    11/30 Clintface pops up and scores a late winner. Also, wasn’t Jordan Morris supposed to be good?

    12/9
    TECMO SOCCER BOWL
    A 0-0 draw goes into extra time where a Brad Evans header (can someone mark this guy?!) off a corner steals it. TFC embraces the bridesmaid role and Sounders fans remind us they invented parades.

    There, freed you up to take the gf or wife to Ikea.
