The Trillium Cup is not a real thing.

Crud. Now you tell me. I just spent all my vast fortune on cornering the market on trillium. And now I can't even get a Cup out of it......

 

This club makes me want to get a 40 ounce of espresso.

 

Bad cross after bad cross and no one in that stadium gives a shit........ it's like they are dead in there, no passion.

 

Another Red Bulls player with a bloody nose. Geez

 

Yeah, looks like it might be pretty rough.

 

I got home in time to see the game from about minute 15, and I was reminded of a scene from Crocodile Dundee. Dundee is in a hotel in New York City, and it has a television. Television, he says; I saw television at a buddy's house once. Then he turns on the television and the credits for I Love Lucy are running. Yes, he says, that's what I saw.

So I come in and see Dilly Duka for the first time this year. Hey, I remember Dilly Duka!

{Duka shanks a shot poorly over the bar}

Yes, that's what I saw.

 

The only exciting thing in yellow tonight

So that should have been a PK to the Red Bulls, right?

 

OHlando!

 

Orland'Oh ...

 

What a great thing to happen!

 

Weather delays are an unfortunate thing, but nature is a beautiful thing.

 

I rushed home to watch the NYCFC game only to find out they're not playing.

 

Don't worry. You can just watch the Chicago Fire game to get your crappy MLS team fix!

 

Now we get scored on by Drake.................. F off Columbo!

 

What a great goal by the Canadian team!
