Eigth season ALREADY?       I remember on a KNBR radio broadcast sometime back in late-1995 or early-1996 (between the time when the ten inaugural MLS teams were given names in October 1995 and when the first MLS game was played in April 1996), either Ralph Barbierri's or Tom Tolbert's prediction (I can't remember which one of them said this, but whichever one said it, I remember the other one wholeheartedly agreeing with him) for MLS was: "I give this new soccer league two, maybe three, years tops!"       GO EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Re: Eigth season ALREADY? Those should be smiling faces you've got there Goodsie. For laughter at a couple of *********************s like those two have proved themselves to be.
Tom Tolbert is a total schmuck. He made himself look like the tool he is last year at the NBA finals. After the US beat Portugal, Charles Barkley was saying how great the game was and Tolbert sniped in with " oh yeah, what was the score 1-0" Then Charles basically belittled him. Happy number 8 MLS. Keep it going. Eat ************ Tom Tolbert you NBA scrub/bench warmer.
      I wonder whether or not Barbierri and Tolbert have conveniently "forgotten" about that prediction by now?       GO EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Eigth season ALREADY? Tolbert is an awesome color guy on tv and keeps Bill Walton in check. Just because these two guys aren't in love with soccer doesn't mean they're complete idiots. As a CLASH fan I remember these two men having very good conversations with former coach Brian Quinn on KNBR. In fact, I won WWC '99 tickets on the Razor and Mr. T. I could name a million people who didn't believe MLS would last three years by the way.
Re: Eigth season ALREADY?       Are they now converted MLS fans, or have they simply "forgotten" their predictions (just wondering)?       GO EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
