    And DC United.

    Also, “heron” has one “r,” people.

    Maybe they're talking about this Herron?

    But it was only Jay Heaps. They should have given Andy a medal.

    Heaps was one of the dirtiest players ever, and Herron had just had enough. Look at that clip - Heaps was all over Herron like a cheap prom date.

    Did anyone know that Jay Heaps played under Coach K at Duke?

    Huh. I bet the tv commentators would have mentioned that if only they had known.

    In Germany, one of their idioms for being really sick is "throwing up like a heron"....

    Thanks for the memories. That view makes it look like Frankie was purposely trying to run a decoy and block the ref's view of the crime....He probably was. Jay Heaps was a complete tool who hacked everyone, and probably deserved what Herron gave him.

    Weird question from a soccer non-lifer. Why do people say “Darby” instead of “Derby” when talking about a rivalry game? It’s spelled derby, but people pronounce it so it rhymes with “Barbie” and not with “Kirby”. Am I missing something?

    Because that's how they pronounce it in England and we want to sound all cool and shit.

    This Galaxy/Whitecaps match that's about to kick off could have some MLS Cup seeding implications.

    And then Caleb Porter, fresh off a $20,000 fine for griping about the officiating, gets absolutely hosed on a non-call in the box as some opponent did a Brad Friedel imitation on a shot, smothering it with his hand and arm in the middle of the box, not just deflecting it but literally stopping it dead.

    Blatant hand ball. No call.

    Porter probably went home and kicked the dog, but I think a better use of his time would be to start screening real.estate agents. Two of his own players. had to be separated from screaming at each other on the way off the field after an ugly 4 -0 shellacking at the hands of a fairly pedestrian Charlotte side.

    Poor Caleb. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    Lots of buyer's remorse over on the Revs boards. I don't hate their club, and so don't take much joy in witnessing their suffering. About all they're hoping for at this point is that Porter's "wins an MLS Cup every 5 years" streak continues, since 2025 would be that year. And, of course, years when hasn't won a cup - at least more recently in his coaching career - his teams have been terrible, as were in 2019 and the revs are this year.

    Trouble is, his Crew teams failed to miss the playoffs every other year he coached here other than 2020. And they'd be solid Wooden Spoon contenders this year, if it weren't for San Jose's brutal incompetence.

    Porter missing the playoffs three years in a row. Seems like a bit of a trend…

    Porter had an elite FO here that could identify and was willing to pay for top talent, starting with Lucas in 2020.

    In Portland, he had two of the best midfielders to ever play in MLS both in their primes, and very good GM/terrible human being Gavin Wilkinson building around those pieces.

    The Revs have Curt Onalfo and a cheap owner, who are overseeing a fire sale of all their most promising assets.

    Best of luck to Caleb in his future endeavors.

    They have Carles Gil, Borreo, that new guy, Chancalay preinjury, and two of the top prospects in America. He had enough talent before the season to make the playoffs.

    He refused to play Peyton Miller and Noel Buck. Even though he said he would when he was asked before the season if he would play the kids unlike in prior sints. He had a short leash on them, to the point that Buck asked to join a random English u21 side while management traded Dejuan Jones away to force Porter into playing Miller.

    Correction: three of the best midfielders in league history in Portland (Nagbe, Valeri, Chara).

    Miami mathematically qualified for next year's CCC. Can't wait for them to have to go to Vancouver Island to play a Canadian PL side.

    Jordi Alba
    Luis Suarez

    This is one of those nights where the simultaneous start times on a platform where they tell you all the scores is a bummer. I'd love to be able to watch that Cincy/LAFC match and that NY Derby without knowing the results.
