Does any currently employed MLS coach deserve to be fired at the end of the season? With Portland, Philly and Toronto already having made changes I would say no.
Valdez is one of the top five CBs in the league even though his team is quite bad.

Well the Union lost tonight, but are season was over anyways and besides that..it was STH Loyalty night!!
Since we accumulated enough loyalty points all season (atending matches and such you earn them on your ST card) we were allowed a "backstage" tour around PPL Park as well as eating in the stadium club with a few players who didnt make the trip to Houston. Afterwards we could watch the game anyweres in the stadium on a TV or better yet from the "good seats" behind the bench while they played it on the big screen.
Heres some pics I snapped fromt he night
Owners Suite/Were Celebrities/Sports stars sit (this view from PPL NEVER gets old...amazing)
Union Locker Room
Away team Locker room...yeah, its shiiiiiity lol
My kid sitting on the Union bench...tired of me taking his picture lol
Watching the game (got cold, left at the half...before the 2 goals thankfully.)
An amazing sight..

SKC have not locked up the top spot. They're on 60 points, and DC could reach that if SKC loses to Philly at home and DC beats Chicago. Since DC holds the tiebreaker (52 GF vs 40 GF), they could potentially lose control of 1st place.
Yeah I figured the MLS website didn't have it right. I don't expect us to lose to the Union at home but things can always go wrong.

Wow, that's nice. That stadium looks great! How's Freddy Adu doing? I still remember when he was labeled as the next big thing in football.
Just saw the highlights, what a game and atmosphere in DC

Very happy with the RBNY performance last night. SKC looked panicky and unable to attack for the most part. If they can keep playing like that for the playoffs, it could be a deep run.
Also looks like I may be piling into a car with some other press box folks and heading down to PPL for the game next weekend. Should be a fun time.

I hope DC and NE get soccer specific stadiums soon.
That was pretty awesome!
yes i am. With Vancouver losing FC dallas needs a win.
Whitecaps would be first Canadian team to make playoffs.
Yep.
And, barring a miracle, they're in.
Pretty amazing.... considering they had an awful second half to the season.
[edit] gotta see how I can get playoff tix now
Word. Metro-GAF is at 3 strong.
"Fool me eight times, shame on you. Fool me nine or more times, shame on me."
I'll be in LA for this weekend's Sounders fixture. It's gonna be a bore considering we're both in playoffs, no one wants to get hurt nor can really improve positions. So meh.
But on Monday a huge lot of us are hitting the Price is Right taping. So yeah, I'm winning me a fuggin car!

I didn't get to see the first half but second half SKC looked disjointed.
We looked a little more solid the first half for sure. Peterson Joseph came in for Nagamura when he tweaked his ankle and made some amazing passes. We controlled better, were a little faster to the ball. More physical. Etc. All the Union could do was pass deep and hope their guy was onside to make a run. Yeah, second half was a different story though.

Stupid penalty shootouts.
I think possibly the only time all year I've been disappointed in Ozzie Alonso

We had SKC on at the Drop last night during Geeks Who Drink, and it was a blast. In between questions we were all watching the game and cheering.

fucking sandy, i'm missing the entire first half of the red bull game because politicians need to assert their authority before a storm
The Impact missing 4-5 really close chances really came back to bite us in the ass. So many balls creeping a meter or so in front of the net, all unclaimed New England just scored in the 88th minute (?), so that pretty much ended the game. What a terrible way to finish the season.
New England just scored in the 88th minute (?), so that pretty much ended the game. What a terrible way to finish the season.Nesta has been pretty solid so far for us. His age is showing a little in terms of speed and agility, but he makes up for it with his intelligence and know-how. For someone brought in to mentor the younger defenders, he did well enough to keep his spot in the starting XI.
