    I was guessing this would be the matchweek where we got all caught up. But we still have one match outstanding after this. o_O

    International Friendly

    United States v. Costa Rica — October 13, 6:30pm — ESPN, UniMás, Univision Deportes
    Canada v. Ghana — October 13, 7:00pm — ???

    And now for the MLS fixtures:

    Toronto FC v. New York Red Bulls — October 14, 7:00pm — TSN, MSG Network
    FC Dallas v. Vancouver Whitecaps FC — October 14, 9:00pm — KTXA 21, TSN
    Real Salt Lake v. Portland Timbers — October 14, 9:30pm — KMYU 12, Root Sports Northwest

    Orlando City SC v. New York City FC — October 16, 7:00pm — UniMás†
    San Jose Earthquakes v. Sporting Kansas City — October 16, 11:00pm — UniMás†

    (NOTE: MLS website claims the Friday matches will be on normal local channels in addition to UniMás. But I don't see the OC/NYC match on its normal local affiliates, so I am not listing local channels for these.)

    Toronto FC v. Columbus Crew SC — October 17, 2:00pm — TSN1, TSN4, TWC Sports Channel Ohio
    New England Revolution v. Impact de Montreal — October 17, 7:30pm — TSN2, RDS, Comcast Sportsnet New England

    New York Red Bulls v. Philadelphia Union — October 17, 3:00pm — MSG Network, The Comcast Network
    Houston Dynamo v. Seattle Sounders FC — October 18, 5:00pm — ESPN, ESPN Deportes
    LA Galaxy v. Portland Timbers — October 18, 7:00pm — Fox Sports 1, Fox Deportes

    All times EDT (UTC-4)
    † = English commentary available via SAP (if you can figure it out)

    You know the code. Comments here should remain neutral. Good luck to everyone.

    BTW: I had to pull this thread from my Google Drive and post it on my iPad. The iPad app doesn't interpret the rich text I used, so I had to reinsert the accents, cross and long dashes I use. I hope you're all proud of yourselves. o_O

    The rained out KC-Colorado game from earlier in the year that KC chickened out of playing the next day is the outstanding match.

    If you are a glutton for punishment, the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying 3rd place game between Canada and USMNT is on Tuesday the 13th. Winner has the opportunity to lose to Colombia in March.

    I believe the game is at 8PM ADT/7PM DT/6PM CDT/5PM MDT/4PM in Arizona/4PM PDT/Noon HAST (Hawaii), and I think the game is already over in ChST (Guam).

    I do not include junior games for the same reason I do not include NASL or USL matches.

    And USA would not be an automatic loss to Colombia, if memory serves me right. o_O

    Like a field goal you want to get the ball between the posts but, unlike football, you want it under the crossbar, not over it. And it only counts for 1 point instead of 3.

    Crazy stuff this foreign game!

    United and the Fire are playing an hour after the start of @Mr. Warmth's favorite NFL team's kick-off as well the Bears kick. It's not a nationally televised game. Both CSNs are using the game as filler between NFL coverage.
    I wish you were one of those annoying as ******** "12s" right now instead of just a normal annoying Seattle fan.

    Seems Bradley had enough of jurgen's shit and is returning to Toronto in time for wed game vs nyrb.

    Probably bc he's tfc captain and it's an important game but it's more fun to think that Bradley had enough of jurgen's condescending attitude. ;)

    No word on whether Jozy had enough of jurgen's shit yet

    And if you have a guy run a deep pattern and he gets open then he will get whistled for being "offsides", whatever that is.

    Apparently neither do the fans in the cities where these games are being played. But the U-23's are filled with MLS players, so I think they are of interest here.

    I think it refers to this.

    Like so:

    It could also refer to this:

    Either way, you'll get this:

    and the teams exchange possession.

    It goes without saying of course, that if a player is offside when a base-runner crosses the plate, the runner must return to third base and the run that otherwise would have been scored is wiped out.

    I hope this was helpful.

    Hey, I've seen Rapids games with worse attendances (in stadium) than the USA-Panama game at the Dick on Tuesday.

    As an IT professional, I make it a point NOT to consciously re-post bad links.

    Because you know SOMEBODY will click the link, even if you tell them not to.

    And when people are already clicking the links from the original post, you don't want to make the cleanup job that much more involved.

    My 13-year-old nephew came up from Virginia on Saturday. He knows quite a bit about soccer. He apparently learned it from FIFA and from soccer apps. He was very surprising with his extensive knowledge of European soccer. I invited him to my house (he was staying at his grandmother's house) to watch Colorado-Montreal since I figured he liked soccer so much. So much complaining about how "the MLS" (ugh) stinks. This kid has never watched an MLS game in his life, but he's been told (repeatedly) that "the MLS" stinks. No amount of coercion was going to convince him. This actually made me sad. Here was this 13-year-old kid who found soccer on his own, no one teaching him, very passionate about the sport, hating the league in his own country. A country he's never left. As a potential parent, I know that I can raise my own kid to appreciate all soccer leagues, both domestic and foreign, but how do you convince a 13-year-old that MLS - or any US domestic league - is actually a lot of fun, even though he doesn't have a local team anywhere near him? He can tell me all about the players (even fringe ones) from the leagues of England, Germany, France, Italy, but he tears MLS apart.

    Despite his protestations, I turned on the game anyway. That lasted all of 7 minutes before we settled on playing FIFA for the rest of the night. I couldn't win, but what was worse was that I didn't even know how to win.
