Fiorentina just choked in a penalty shootout at home after 120 minutes of 0-0. Rangers, possibly the most boring team ever assembled to reach a European final is through 4-2 after the shootout.

 

Looks like a lot of the vaunted TFC crowd couldn't show up tonight for whatever reason. Maybe they're just late arriving though.

 

The TFC fans have a huge, hilarious sign of Claudio Reyna holding a magic eight ball that reads: "Has been? All signs point to yes!" Watching Reyna take a corner kick right in front of it was pretty damn funny.

1-0 to TFC on atrocious set piece defending by NJRB

 

The CEO of Herbalife, the LA Galaxy sponsor, just resigned after admitting that he had exagerrated his academic credentials. When is Alexi Lalas going to resign and admit that he exagerrated his ability to run a soccer organization?

 

And BTW, the Toronto-Jersey match is boring, boring, boring. It could be blamed on the rain, the surface, etc., but I think it's because both teams suck.

 

I gotta give it to TFC fans, they are hardcore.

 

Aw no doubt, have to admit... have tpo saqy he IS a has been.

 

Is it just me, or does the guy on the left look a little like Chris Klein.

KC getting shelled in Columbus. 2-0 in the first half, and down to 10 men.

 

The Gals have crawled back from being down 2-0 in the first. Two outstanding strikes by Becks have them in this one.

63rd minute, 2-2.

 

How many of you are ready for the SUPERCLASICO!

 

Will watch that for an hour before the DCU game...

 

And Chelsea ensures that the last day of the season in England will be squeaky-bum time for real, winning for the first time at Newcastle since 2001. It's Man U's to lose, that's for sure. Their name and colors are on the trophy. Just don't choke.

 

The kind of words you never expect to utter, huh?

 

Houston has signed Guy-Roland Kpene. Lets hope cutting him doesn't come back to bite us in the arse.

 

He'd have to find it first. Kind of like finding the back of the net, which he never did. Call me bitter (Bitter, table of one) but he had a brilliant chance to seal a win against Dallas last year at home and instead we get 3-3. I'm almost positive he'll make an impact for Houston. Has to be. After seeing Erpen score against us, it has to be. Now, watch Erpen make the howler of the year this weekend at Houston. Just watch.

 

MLS has once again broken one of my rules to live by:

Don't give Abbey Okujala important or nationally televised games.

I can't wait to see what happens.

 

Is there a stream of this anywhere? I can't find one

 

So how many games does Serioux get suspended for that cheap shot on Beckham?

 

And the crap afterward.

LA is just kicking the ever-loving shit out of Dallas right now, in Dallas.
