Re: We got ********ed!!! Costa Rica only has two teams that have had much success. Granted, those two teams have done very well (as have many of...
I don't think there's a problem with it. I wouldn't necessarily want teams to be over 1/2 foreign players (for instance), but there's a lot of...
Re: It's official! Drew Carey part owner of Seattle Team More or less, but not completely. It sounds like Sounders ownership will be making the...
I'd say even the PK vs Argentina was, ironically, mostly caused by EJ's inability to control, run with, and shoot the ball at speed. His need to...
Re: Official USA vs Czech Republic POST Match Thread - Part II - [R] This is a good point, but I think the idea of developing MLS into a truly...
I think it's painfully obvious that nearly all of our players are NOT strong starters in top first-division leagues. All the big talk (from...
Sometimes, but usually they can also not take the deal, often get some money in return, and get a similar job for another company where they live...
UNIQUELY HOUSTON Tempietto Zeni, 5420 Floyd at Deterring in Houston's West End, is the home and studio of artist Frank Zeni. It is made of...
I wonder why?
Re: A's add a new twist to the story... Of course he'd say that; it's entirely possible he'll end up doing business with AEG in the future (not...
I can't argue with the latter two points, but as a market San Jose can't really be separated from the rest of the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose...
Good point. My hope was that some local owner would buy the team from AEG (also diluting AEG's control of MLS in the process), and that the...
Better yet, ignore him everywhere he posts.
Au contraire, I'm sure MLS is now very excited that they've moved thier first team. Now they are just like every other big sport in the US, a sure...

Re: Done deal -- Quakes to Houston. I was just thinking they could have handled the announcement better. For instance saying "The Earthquakes will...
I'm pretty sure this isn't true. I remember hearing that USSF contributed some amount, I can't remember exactly but $10 million is sounding about...
It's also a negotiating point. As Chandu pointed out, San Jose had only offered a completely inadequately-sized site for potential use for a...
Maybe.... but maybe Santa Clara was the real target all along. San Jose came in, and SVSE got to very publicly dance with them for a bit. They...
I never got the impression Carson was 100% privately financed, as it was a joint deal with CSU, and had substantial funding from US Soccer, didn't...
I happen to think those are all black eyes, but I never liked any of those leagues much in the first place.
I've been thinking this as well. In some ways USL feels more like a genuine soccer league, and less like the WWF. I'd be happy to see a USL team...
I was starting to wonder what had happened to Santa Clara, Milpitas, and other cities. I never got the impression much progress was made in...
How naive you are: San Jose is ALREADY buying the land. For "unspecified uses", and it may be a good investment anyway, but everyone knows what...
Of course there wasn't, San Jose has been too busy spending hundreds of millions on a new city hall ($500 million last I heard) as well as on a...
