    Re: MLS in the CONCACAF Champions League Thread

    That's a pretty lofty hope considering that we're sending the 2009 NYRB to the CCL. Not the team that got hot and almost won the MLS Cup, the team that could end up being worst in MLS history. So that's out of the way.

    As much as I hate to say it...come DCU. Make us proud. ;)

    Hey, if the Puerto Rico Islanders can make a run in this tournament, then the Red Bulls might actually have a shot.

    In one sentence you say you don't underestimate us, but in the other you say your guys can beat us very easily. It's either 1 or the other, not both :p

    Btw we have beaten better teams then TFC...

    Word! I understand the midweek type of match, but unless the Firpo peeps are sitting on the non-camera side, I would have thought some of that local Salvadorean populous would have came out. My,my! I hope we have a respectable number in Columbus.

    Cna someone more familiar with DC give me a rundown on the starter:reserve ratio we're seeing here? A number of familiar faces do not appear to be on the field tonight.

    If you have the TVUPlayer you can watch the game, it's the FSC feed. I'm watching now. Stadiums seems a bit empty.

    One defender of three is a regular starter. The midfield is missing everybody, though Szetela might replace Simms eventually. One forward is a starter, though Moreno hasn't actually started all that often.

    It looks like we're mailing it in. DAMNIT.

    Too bad TVU isn't compatible with Firefox 3.5 right now. Oh well, I watched the US-Mexico debacle in Spanish, I can watch this in Spanish too. :p

    some very casual play from the DC backline basically creates a scoring opportunity for Firpo. Just clear it out, guys!

    Great pic! Firpo just scored. Sounds like a lot of Salvadorans there.
