LEAGUES CUP 2024: Los Angeles FC - San Jose Earthquakes (Tuesday, 8/13) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

I think that Stanford had New Zealander Ryan Nelsen about the same time as Elliot. Nelsen played for DC United.

 

Thats right Ryan

 

Hideous.

 

All of those Leagues Cup graphics are embarrassing, especially the ones showing the victors mocking the defeated. I guess it's supposed to be comic book style, but....eek.

 

Especially embarrassing since amateur fan-created Heritage Cup poster art was quite a bit better, from my perspective, than the multibillion dollar Apple stuff.

An example:

 

I’m going to be in The Smog Thursday through Saturday. Only as deep as Thousand Oakes, so maybe only the second or third circle of hell, but still … It’s going to suck.

On the upside, I’m hanging with friends and we’re all going to see Jon Anderson.

F#$& el-lay!!
I’m not optimistic about this game.

Go Quakesfans!!

 

Hope you don't get the runaround after traveling such a long distance, and you enjoy all the good people! Roundabout way of saying have fun!

 

Yeah, though not so hopefully, the Quakes play better with a narrower field.

 

Crap so we got Daniel back for one game, just to tease us, and now he's out indefinitely again? :-(

 

I thought it was Ryan something, but I kept thinking Paul Ryan!

 

Except that's Oakland.

 

Speaking of ex-Stanford defenders, can the EQ trade for Naomi Girma? She would be an excellent partner for Rodrigues!

 

Some old man today in grocery store saw me wearing the Simon Elliott Quakes jersey and told me the Quakes suck, I dont know anything about soccer, and proceeds to tell me, American soccer is for pussies and says to watch players like Ronaldo and Messi. It old him Messi is in Miami, he argued with me until I showed him... dumb ass.

 

They will be hideously biased in favor smell-lay.

 

You should have asked the genius to explain the role of a false 9.

 

Oh no, the center ref is Pierre-Luc!!!!

 

OMG. It’s the French Canadian ref who f’ed us in Portland. Nightmare scenario!!
