    I know DC/Vancouver isn’t exactly a glamorous matchup, but how is DC opening up their stadium not on national TV?

    Yeah, you'd think TSN would have wanted to show this game after the World Cup final on Sunday. Then again I'm sure Fox looked at this opportunity and said no. In hindsight now that DC signed Rooney, this would be a much easier match to hype after the WC Final. Rob Stone and Lalas would hype the ever loving shit out of Rooney's debut and the opening of Audi Field. Instead we get to see a full house in Atlanta play Seattle and hear all of the nat team fans bitch and moan that Carleton isn't playing over Almiron, Villaba, and Barco.........ho hum.

    Congrats to DC!

    After just finishing watching the NY ping pong derby i’m ready to chip in $20 to help NYCFC build something half as god as Audi Field.

    Great! So we won't be hearing any of this "halfway through the season" stuff at the All-Star "break."

    Both of those quoted phrases irk me every time they are used incorrectly.

    Feel someone should trap an RFK critter and set him loose at Audi Field.

    Raccoons want no part of the groundhogs around Buzzard Point. I expect a stand to fall in on itself not because of some secret cabling and tunnels but because of groundhog burrowing. When you realize PEPCO, MPD, Coast Guard and Homeland Security let those things be, you know they're not to be ********ed with.

    Are the groundhogs cap-tied? Can any of them play left back?

    Montreal Impact vs NYCFC on TSN tonight. It's a rare treat to get to see the Impact on tv in Canada, as they are usually only on the French sports channel that no one gets.

    Montreal have 5 Canadians in the starting lineup which means they will be smoked.

    Shamit Shome, a Canadian generation adidas player drafted last year (previously from FC Edmonton) gets his first MLS start.

    I enjoy the odd visit, but I wouldn't be able to afford seats regularly that I purchase as a one-off, which I think would negatively impact my in-stadium experience. Contrast that with Red Bull Arena, where there isn't a bad seat no matter the price point.

    No question … Red Bull Arena is fantastic.

    As for this game, NYC has turned up the heat a bit. A couple of pretty nice saves by Bush have kept this game tied, early in the 2nd half.
