MLS Week 16 Continuous PBP [Multiple R]

I'm sure at some point, I will have to die for BigSoccer's sins

 

That type of goal is not even in FIFA yet

 

GOTY from Jack Mac.

 

Well Espíndola IS crazy like Suarez, so there's that.

 

Trust me. YOU WILL. And also for...

Oh, and the Dagger again.

 

O Houston

 

That's not really a fair comparison. The Dynamo could at least get approved for a Discover Card.

 

we're halfway to six.

 

Uh, so that's about the end for Houston's playoff chances...

 

Three goals halfway to six!

 

3 goals halfway to 6. Bit of J-League keeping there from Hall. Kinnear Death Watch?


Hang in there, @DynamoEAR

 

Di Vaio again. So does Houston actually suck this year, or is this another tease before they end up in the conference finals as always?

 

I now think of all of Ben Olsen's comments about the team needing bite differently.

 

This season.

 

Perkins was out to sea there.

 

Nice save by Perkins there after a ridiculously dumb pass out of the back.

 

Probably about San Jose Ultras that were banned in San Jose. There's some batshit crazy going on between San Jose and Montreal

 

So my wife walks into the house about 20 minutes into the Costa Rica/Greece game and goes "I'm cleaning out the garage, you wanna help or watch your game?"

I chose the garage, and I get the feeling I chose wisely.

 

You're right ...

 

"Will Bruin doesn't look right physically" says Davis? NAAAAAAAAAAW!

So my fun World Cup stat today is tracking MLS players representing the USA at the World Cup.

Notes:

• Bob Bradley really hated MLS. Jurgen has completely rolled back the trend of Bunker Bob.
• The 2014 World Cup is reversing the trend of 2002. Bruce steadily reduced MLS minutes in Korea, but Jurgen is increasingly relying on MLS players.
• The Germany game tied the record for MLS starters (2 games in 1998)
• Actually if you put the red card minutes back on the field, Bruce's 02 an 06 would've followed similar patterns of reduction.

Numbers are:
starters/subs minutes played

1998 16 players
559 6/3 vs Germany
