Well, I think you guys lost to Viking...or maybe you won...The translation from http://www.foreignword.com/Tools/transnow.htm is a bit strange...the score was 5-3... Viking stepped forth at finance at Allow A good many Cup as layer struck American San Jose at straffespark idag. After common interval stood facts 1-1. Luxuriant His scoret Vikings aim at a frispark at 22 meter. Viking acted a positive action against the American , but fail to to score more aim than as Luxuriant His boom in a frispark at 22 meter halfway in 1.omgang. 15 minutes afterwards set off the Americans , after a duell along with Luxuriant His. IN straffespark - competition scoret Luxuriant His 1-0, Bear Berlin 2-1, Other Danielsen Thomas Pereira 4-2 and Peter Was gaping 5-3. Keeper Luxuriant Olsen bail out a straffespark.
The Viking website has Viking in the final. The short 3-word headline was "Viking [short norweigan word] [word close to final]!"; or something very close to that. Apparently Viking scored all 5 and one of SJ's on an own goal. Uff da! My Norweigan is rusty, yah! Metros v Viking and Quakes v Dynamo Kyiv. Not too bad, all 3 MLS teams play Dynamo Kyiv.
Okay, my attempt to decypher the Norwegian report. (Caveat: I know no Norwegian.) Sounds like the game ended 1-1 with Viking winning the PKs 5-3. Defender Frode Hansen scored from 22 meters, while keeper Frode Olsen saved one of the PKs. Could be way off...
Uh, not rusty, non-existent. "Og" means "and" in norwegian. And "apparently" the score was 1-1 after ordinary time and Viking won 5-3 on PK's. Never trust a Wizards fan! So the Quakes remain undefeated at 2-0-1. That's a hell of a lot better than 0-2-1 from last time, and last time they went on to win MLS Cup!
Well, maybe the MetroStars can beat Viking in the final. The Earthquakes probably should have won the match, but they were without their two best players.
Lost Semis in La Manga Cup??? I've found only this so far on the semi-final v. Viking: http://fotball.bt.no/lamanga/ "Viking er klar for finalen etter seier på straffespark mot San José Earthquakes." That seems to translate to "Viking are clear for finals..."
Because Donovan and Mulrooney were sent back home to prepare for the USA game against Haiti. Where have you been?
Re: Lost Semis in La Manga Cup??? It's been reported that the game ended 1-1 and we lost on PKs 5-3. Sounds like they made all thier PKs and thier keeper saved one of ours (maybe they shot first and we only took 4?)
Lost Semis in La Manga Cup??? Yep, that is exactly what happened. The story is up on the MLS website. Penalty Kick Summary SJ - Corrales (goal), Agoos (saved), Ching (goal), Dunivant (goal) VIK - Sorli (goal), Berland (goal), Danielsen (goal), Pereira (goal), Kopteff (goal) BTW Drewb, your topic subject header is a no-no. Readers from Norway and Spain who have not yet watched this game on tape will not be happy with your spoiler thread subject Edit: I should have known the "offending" thread would get merged by the ultra-efficient moderators. No harm, no blood, no foul...
This doesn't look good I didn't realize there were other teams there training. I wonder if there are wild parties, or this is just a case of getting bored and doing something very stupid. Was this in the Quake's hotel?
As Russian-speaking sources told me, Dynamo Kyiv are playing an important game on March 7th (Ukrainian Cup, I believe). Therefore, their entire first team left Spain already, and the second team arrived, instead.. Expect Quakes to severely whoop their asses!
True. Problem is, then they'll say, "Oh, you just beat our scrubs, you didn't go up against the best that we've got."
Well, Metrostars did go against their best ... And their scrubs also need a lesson how to play soccer
I think, and Alexi will need to translate....we drew 1:1 with Dynamo, but, this time won the Pen Shootout 6:5.... http://www.fcdynamo.kiev.ua/news/?id=3193 -Richard
As long as there were no significant injuries, and some of the younger guys got some good minutes, I'm happy!! Come on home, boys, the CCC is just around the corner.

I can't ever get enough Babelfish translations. That was classic! And another nice showing for the Quakes. Question for any Europeans out there: Does the MLS showing in a tourney like this mean anything to any of you out there?

Years of cryptography at eyes-only installations world-wide leads me to believe that the following scored. Note that Corrales tied it up late before the following PKs: 0:1 (Ekelund - SJ) Khatskevich 1:1 1:2 (Corrales - SJ) 2:2 2:3 (Waibel - SJ) 3:3 3:4 (?? Dunivant - SJ) Protrunks 4:4 4:5 (Alvarez - SJ) 5:5 5:6 (uhhhhh, Walker - SJ) 5:6 (goalkeeper)
