It is always tough in Dallas. They have a good team. Its really to bad their fans don't apreciate them more.
Your ID says you are in CLB. IF so, MLSSoccer.com match video will be blacked out. (It is blacked out statewide online for Crew matches.) So, SD sounds better than nothing.
Yep, I guess so. This sucks all around. For $20 last year I could get all of the games on the web from MLSnet. It looked about as good as ONN from my computer via HDMI to my TV. This year, I can't watch Crew games live on the net (for $40) and may or may not be able to watch them live on directkick in HD for $80. I guess I have to suck it up and order the package because you're right, live in SD is better than nothing.
You are preaching to the choir. I don't see how doubling the price and cutting back on access makes sense. The individuals in NYC want to pretend they are one of the big boys, but I don't see any of the Ohio MLB, NBA, NHL, or NFL teams with games on the likes of the Ohio News Network. So, until they get all the games on channels that more than a handful of people get, why alienate the core fan base (ex. OH Crew Fans who can't get ONN) by initiating these blackouts? It doesn't sound like good business judgment to me!
FYI, the Crew sent an email to the group at MLSSoccer.com responsible for MLS Live today trying to get blackout restrictions loosened. Guess we'll have to wait and see if they ignore the request.
That's a start, but I tend to agree with Kryptonite. I don't think they (the powers that be in NYC) care, and they don't want to admit to being wrong.
Some game previews here: http://www.massivereport.com/content/smittys-not-so-serious-preview-feel-burn http://www.crewxtra.com/live/conten.../crew-prev-chart-4-10-guo85404-1.html?sid=101 I imagine Crewture may have one as well but it has been crap lately IMO and my computer security warning goes off whenever I try to pull it up.
Here are a few more. The Dallas writer credited Danny O with his first goal against Toronto. Nice shot Danny I missed that one: http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/1110...-dallas-vs-columbus-crew-head-to-head-preview http://www.livesoccertv.com/match/133984/fc-dallas-vs-columbus-crew/ http://www.dallassoccernews.com/article.php?article_id=3440
Is there some sort of symbolism in showing Lenhart choking the horse and slapping the horses a**, whatever it means I like it. Crew by 2.
I kind of fear FCD's pace on the wings. Thus, I wouldn't mind seeing O'Rourke wide with Franie, and then pick 2 of Chad, Iro, or Padula in the middle. I kind of like Gino as a central option, particularly if the other team doesn't have a lot of aerial options. He reads the game pretty well, can pass out of the back, and is a nice option to take FK's from the left. If there is a doubt about Chad, I wouldn't mind seeing him inside.
I think they changed their logo about 5 years ago to a bull......it's still a cool "retro" banner. I look forward to seeing Lenhart riding their defenders tonight.
Gino's not great in the air, nor does he have O'Rourke's recovery speed. Dallas will have Atiba Harris and possibly Brek Shea attacking, both of whom are pretty big.
Anyone know if MLSSoccer is still doing free trials this week for games? I'm in Dayton these days and I have called all two of the soccer bars in town and neither of them have ONN.
