Pathetic Looked like more on TV Move San Jose Now obligatory joke about thread ending when three magic phrases are written (End Thread Now)
At least all of the matches have some playoff consequences (or potential playoff consequences). There aren't any playing out the string matches. Saturday got good turnout. Maybe this will be a strong closing weekend.
Of course, with eight out of ten teams advancing to the playoffs, the highest number of games that would meet that description is one: two eliminated teams meeting on the last day. What are the odds of that?
I think we will get way more than 30 people there. No need to use the decimals we don't count the partial people.
Those crazy euros. Now we just have to wait for someone to suggest that MLS won't be a real league until we start using the european system of number punctuation.
Newspaper reports indicate the Krafts may stick with their "create demand" strategy for Saturday's game even though they might lose thousands of potential ticket sales by doing so. The create demand strategy limits stadium capacity to only 21,006. However, in the past, New England attendance has been strong in September, and some analysts believe the Revs might manage to attract 25,000 to 30,000 for Saturday's game if they opened up the entire lower bowl.
Here goes nothing: Thursday, September 19th Dallas at D.C. United - 14,792 Friday, September 20th Kansas City at Colorado - 19,500 Saturday, September 21st Los Angeles at San Jose - 18,951 MetroStars at New England - 28,255 Sunday, September 22nd Columbus at Chicago 12,250 (or whatever their max capacity is now)
17k at least in DC...Eddie pope Bobblehead night and last game of the season, plus the chance to still make the playoffs.
Well, duh. It will also not be a real league until sponser's logos are more visible than team logos on strips (call it a jersey, and you are obviously a heathen). And MLS better drop the "Soccer" from its name, and start calling teams things like "Kansas City City FC," "Lokomotiv San Jose," and "Borussia Columbus." Then and only then will it be a real league.
It didn't take half a day, but I wasn't going to post anything on it until everyone else had a chance.
