clear penalty.. it was just a slight touch but enough to make him lose his balance.. you could see that he genuinely tried to finish the attack but couldn't
 
That's a totally different team. Tampa Bay Mutiny were the now-defunct MLS team. Tampa Bay Rowdies were a 1970s NASL team, and current (second division) NASL team.
Funny thing is my uncle was a ref (Gerry Corrie)in MLS for years, I should know more I guess.
 
Beastly from Tony V there, love it.



Hopefully we just don't show up and forfeit the game. Better than actually showing up and getting humiliated by Costa Rica at least.

Wouldn't you like it if Roy experimented with a different starting 11 and Formation?
 
San Jose Earthquakes? Is that the official name?

Its better then half the dumb names in the MLS. When the league started, they were in the rash of 90s awful abstract names. Abstract ideas like Mutiny, Revolution, or Fusion. This wasn't just in the MLS, this was across all North American sports, its just that the MLS was founded then.

Then, in the mid 2000s or so, they realized those were stupid names, they swung towards Euro sounding names. So there are now teams called Sporting Kansas City, Real Salt Lake (because of all the royalty based in Utah), Houston Dynamo, and attaching FC to everything. This is annoying in its own right, like we are stealing someone else's culture then creating our own.

There is nothing more American than this.
