Tom Arnold was on hand in New York, seemingly having no clue what was going on(and feigning excitement for the camera). I doubt he's really a Galaxy fan (or even a fan of the sport) but after the Galaxy's last goal they cut to a shot of him. Many people have commented on the fact that with all the stars that showed up in LA to see Beckham the best NY could do was Tom Arnold.
May 2, 1996, my first MLS game. That game still holds many records in the books. Some friends came up from Mizzou to see the game (and go to Zarda's) and root for Columbus for various reasons. I kid you not, we were pelted with popcorn by the Wiz-loving girl scouts seated behind us. There was a come-from-behind 3-2 Burn-Fire game in '01 that was memorable. Best game I have seen (not kidding) was the 1-0 Crew-Red Bull game in June of this year. Just an intense game, the supporters were manic. When the Crew the scored (Kamara, off a cross from the just-entered Herron) the place went berserk. Dollar says I'm the only person who rates that game though!
So I guess the Gals are the team of choice for overweight comedians. Makes sense. You'd need a good sense of humor, some beers, and some churros to enjoy the match.
other than the ny/la game a few weeks back, the ne/dc eastern conference final in 2004 hands down will put any mls hater in his place, the saves rimando made in overtime, to moreno and esky's goals, to the thrilling pk's, and the atmosphere, i have not witnessed an atmosphere like that ever, other than the beckham game in dc, it was electric as for the ny/la game, i had to hear max bretos say "yeeeeeeaaaaa" all game, i wanted to shoot myself
The return leg of the Dallas-CO series in 2006 was also very entertaining. Everytime Dallas scrored, Colorado answered. Then there was the scuffle at the end of the game.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but a game that had some of the best atmosphere I have seen in MLS for a regular season game was Landon's first game playing in SJ for LA.
Sorry, that honor would likely go to FenoFootball for, well, every post he's ever made. I watched the match in question, I wasn't impressed. Bite me.
