I currently live near Los Angeles, so the draw is kind of a disaster for me too. Then again, that was decided 7 years ago ;-)
Interesting thread, but aren't there other forums for debating immigration policy? Here's an article from tomorrow's LAT. I usually hate...
I'd MUCH rather see MLS teams in Atlanta and the Triangle than in Toronto and Vancouver. I've never understood the logic of MLS, if it wants to...
Good point about Americans. Many of those in green tonight were speaking English, and without accent. There were also many young children...
Thanks, Steve! Same to yours and I look forward to seeing you around town.
Thanks for the kind words, all. It was fun writing it. Kicking myself on "Robbie Rogers." :o Oh well, nobody's perfect, including THREE...
I was so crushed by Galaxy's loss last night, I took solace in poetry. Here's what I came up with (apologies to Ernest Lawrence Thayer): Landon...
What "we soccer fans" (i.e. those who attended MLS matches before Beckham arrived) know, is that Beckham isn't the only player of 22 on the field,...
Might it not be worth it to play several games in Lawrence? Is the stadium there being used for anything else April-> August? And then do the...
Chivas USA has room for improvement. If they were to draw like Galaxy next season, that alone could be another 150,000 total, which adds about...
And I will take full responsibility if X starts and we don't win (other than 0-0). Is Beckham fit enough to start? And what about Albright?...
I'd like truer attendance ## (which might be higher than 27 for all we know), but I agree that its great that it was packed. In fact, though I...
Good points. A SSS doesn't have to be used just 15 times a year. If its owners can make money doing other things (HDC is used not only for...
Good. Better than NHL, best MLS season of the past 11 seasons. I'm sorry to belabor this, but since its been pointed out that we have two...
Lalas said a ski vacation at a place of his choosing. No restriction on length. So I hope he picks the Four Seasons for a month at Whistler,...
Very good analysis. I've given out too much rep the past 24 hours, sorry. Anyway, if there is a silver lining in the draw, it's this: a draw...
That's okay, we got the median this year, we'll get the mean next year. We only miss the mean by about 800, so if there are 210 matches next...
I just wish there was a way to make posters who talk out their a$$ with idiotic conspiracy theories take some responsibility when they are flat...
The seats seemed full, but the berm was empty. There's no way this can be called 27,000, because the FCD match on Sept. 23 was called 27,000...
Cancel your subscription. No wait, renew it. You're right after all. The conspiracy was more clever than originally perceived. The draw...
I'm going to defend Pavon on the missed cross. It was a typically unselfish cross from Landon, but Pavon never could have gotten to it. The dude...
yeah, totally. I was going to say I'd tell my son that if he would prefer a 90% pay cut and to risk losing his career at any moment, he shouldn't...
Madrid, it seemed like every seat was full, and the berm looked packed. Chelsea was actually beyond that. All of the corridors, all of the areas...
My 10-y-o's soccer coach is Brazilian. At the start of the season, he gave the speech about how soccer must take priority over everything....
That's weird. All of these "27,000" matches (I count 5 this season) are suspect then, because I was there for three of them (plus a 6th/4th that...
