I was too depressed to start this thread earlier. "Why?" You ask. Because last night was the last episode of Matador, and now I've died a little inside. That's why. Oh, and it was definitely the best episode since the last one. Anyway, 5 straight days of soccer coming up, with 7 nationally televised matches including the internationals. Here's what's on the slate for this week (plus MLS-relevant internationals): As always, please keep it friendly and neutral in the PBP thread.
To kick things off, did anybody else see this article in ScienceNordic? Blind people have four times more nightmares than sighted people http://sciencenordic.com/blind-people-have-four-times-more-nightmares-sighted-people For this study, scientists analyzed sleep patterns of people with normal sight and set them against sleep patterns of MLS referees. Heyo!
And what an episode it was! No doubt the very best one until next season ... That Riot Stadium is surely a technological marvel. The interior (the spitting image of the StubHub Center), doesn't seem to bear any relation to the exterior. I assume it's all done with mirrors and holograms. --- How will CD Mutton USA disappoint me this week?
I listened to Cowherd and took the emotion out of this day. That being said........................... OH Colombo!
I'll never understand how something like Matador gets renewed but Firefly and others don't even get a full season.
Most nervous about tfc Houston game. With Houston absentee and they suck at bmo field but I have a bad feeling that tfc won't put away Houston and tfc draws or loses to a Brad Davis setpiece
That's easy: Fox vs El Rey Matador wasn't really "renewed" -- El Rey effectively signed onto two seasons from the beginning. I watched Firefly too. -- I could go for this ... With Chivas USA gone, MLS can make a feasible 4 division, 32 game regular season: pic.twitter.com/45rQ9bl0sW— Mike McGrew (@Zavcurrent) October 8, 2014
I refuse to watch this matador show because @Knave and @ImaPuppy watches it so I'll end up being drunk and disappointed
Not possible Thoma. Listening to Cowherd can only ADD to the emotions of fans. Witness Phyllis below, responding to Cowherd's earlier statements ....
I am most nervous about St Kitts/Nevis against Barbados in 15 minutes. I have to support my Nevisian people against those Bajan posers!
Matador never disappoints! As long as you have low expectations. And suspend disbelief. And are drunk.
I am actually emotionally investing low, so that the return of investment, if not good, will help matters. No matter what, there will be an OH Colombo tonight. The line outside at the moment. Must be TSA-styled checks at the door or something.
