i didn't feel like registering (i thought there was a bigsoccer@bigsoccer one?), what was the gist of the story?
From the Pasadena Star-News: Regarding dismissive comments on Vagenas from "internet message boards" "My first comment is that I think it's great that the fans get on the message boards and entertain themselves,' Schmid said. "But for myself, it's one of the things I never try and look at, because if I looked at the message boards I'd have to change my lineups every week, or every five minutes."
I think there's been a purging of our secret username/password on most news sites. It only works on a few these days.

"But for myself, it's one of the things I never try and look at, because if I looked at the message boards I'd realize how f-ing stupid a great many of our fans are."
Re: From the Pasadena Star-News: Be fair. The actual quote is: That's not to say Galaxy fans aren't stupid...
The Canadian I dig....the French, well LOVE the accent....the headcase(s) that go along with it (nah...) But wait she CANADIAN....maybe, just maybe She's a hottie no doubt...and Montreal would be a fine place for a rendez-vous, n'est-ce pas? (beautiful in summer w/the festivals)..
I didn't mean Galaxy fans. I meant soccer fans in general, especially the ones who populate message boards.
From Faberge Egg to little chicken Freddy Adu's progress according to Ray Hudson: March 7, 2003: Says D.C. United coach Ray Hudson, who watched Freddy train with his team for a week last fall, “A blind man on a galloping horse can see his talent. He’s a little Fabergé egg, and everyone’s just trying to protect him.” [url='http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/8488889.htm?ERIGHTS=-1191674684314705109miami::bigsoccer@bigsoccer.com&KRD_RM=3jommkrrkrsmnnjjjjjjjjkjrq|big|N]April 22, 2004[/url]: said former Fusion and D.C. United coach Ray Hudson. ``This is not the Rembrandt of soccer here. He is an exquisitely gifted little footballer, but he's still a little chicken coming out of the egg. Freddy has gone from a faberge egg to a little chicken in a little over a year. I cannot wait until he is the top rooster of the coop.
This is a good time to be a MLS fan. Not only is the quality of the game at an all-time high, but it's easier than ever to see all or part of every league game, week in and week out. In addition to games being broadcast on ABC/ESPN and Fox Sports, nearly every contest can be seen on MLSnet.com. The games are literally just a click of the mouse away. “It's great,” said Trey Fitz-Gerald, senior director of communications for MLS. “The world is getting smaller and technology has made that happen with the Internet and satellite television and digital cable and high-definition (TV). “You have the ability now to pull in and watch games and other events from all over the world from the comfort of your couch, if you will. … It's been great to have one game on TV and another on your computer.” Yahoo provides the game feed on the Internet, as it did a year ago, Fitz-Gerald said. But last season, it was part of a package that cost a monthly fee and included other sports and entertainment options. This year, there is no cost and it's accessible at the league Web site
Just a funny fact here. When Royalty in England had "accidents" (bastard children with either a father or mother that wasn't royalty), they attached the "Fitz" prefix to the surname of the child. Thus, Trey Fitzgerald is that bastard great-great grandchild of royalty.
actually, it works for most registered news website. For washingtonpost, it is now bs@bigsoccer.com and password is bigsoccer. It's been like that for the last month or so.
