Really happy to see the Portland v Dallas game was on national TV. Great display of the product. Very fun game.

Looks like TFC forgot to give up a goal in the last minute and accidentally won a match.

Any amateur team on the planet could beat DC right now. Our owners are continuing to be useless while our team gets worse and worse.
I went to this, you missed a good game
Revs haven't been this good to watch since those cup run years. Wish I didn't cancel cable so I could watch more games; I'd get MLS live but they have those pesky blackout rules...

DC has had major success over the years though... TFC has been nothing but failure since day one.
Rowe and Agudelo are beast

Yeah, going to that game would've been less draining and heartbreaking. I'm probably going to make it to a few more Revs games this year; should be good.
Agreed. I can't wait for us to route Galaxy this Wednesday and look down from Mt. Olympus and laugh at the mere mortal teams.
On a lighter note, any one else in the league hear any chatter on any big names during the Transfer season to the MLS?
THAT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY. I'm probably gonna be at 442 watching that and cheering like a madman.Agreed. I can't wait for us to route Galaxy this Wednesday and look down from Mt. Olympus and laugh at the mere mortal teams.

Oklahoma City will be joining the NASL. Have to wait until July 15th BoG meeting to make it official.

Robbie Rogers cant play at this level right now. He is nothing more than a publicity stunt. Too bad.

WHITECAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPS
Not sure what Arena was thinking, he was an average MLS player before he went to England and got injured and didn't play soccer for 18 months. The publicity is certainly not worth making the team considerably worse.

The first episode of MLS Insider on NBCSN was very good. Cahill is just an awesome guy.

He really is. One of the nicest guys in our locker room.
That said - I'm more than a little amused at the Cahill piece because of the DC United segment. You know when Cahill's talking about the "30 or so media guys" who all wanted to get at Kenny Cooper after the game? And they go to that shot of him saying "I don't want Kenny to talk" or something like that to me media?
The bearded guy that's clearly visible in the shot is me.
So I guess that makes me the face of MLS media villainy!
cool. ESPN is launching a soccer show on ESPN2 in August.
They shoulda saved the Cahill piece for last. Sons of Ben are wack. Robbie is a publicity stunt.

Enjoyed the Sons of Ben the most and Robbie's piece the least. Interesting show, I'll stay with it.
I wish there was a game on national TV tonight instead of two tomorrow.

What is the focus of the show? All of the leagues?
The Rogers feature was definitely the worst part of the episode.
So...I don't know what just happened in the SKC/Dallas game. SKC had a set piece, we put the ball in the box, it looks like he called a foul on us which disallowed our goal. Then suddenly it's a penalty. Weird. I guess for pulling Collin down in the box by his jersey? That was all I saw. The announcers said it was for a handball but I'm not sure. Need to check the replay.
Mark Geiger sucks. Pretty inconsistent calls on both sides.
Nice to see our full lineup back finally. Zusi and Besler are bursting with confidence and are looking great. Zusi is really working for the ball.
Our offensive third needs to get on the same page though. Same old story.
Also, there's easily over 600 Cauldron supporters in Dallas for the game. Great to see.

These last two games are going to be really hard to swallow. I was still down from the Orlando game but now this...frustrating is a huge goddamn understatement.
Dallas player on the ground. Head ref bent over him looking down. Ball kicked back towards Sapong who was running by. Hits his foot and bounces off the the ref and the player. Didn't look anything like intentional. Ref pulls straight red. He didn't see the intent or the kick. He didn't talk to the linesmen or fourth official. Just card.
EDIT :::::
Looks like Sapong was trying to stop the ball from hitting the down player and didn't deflect it enough and it hit him. No intent.

700 of us going down for this match, lots of the FO too.
I'm unfortunately not one of them
I guess that gives me faith for this game though I'm 0-10 (some draws in there though) in road trips.
There's a 99% chance your club wins today
I'm a Union season ticket holder who will be there and we have been pretty awful this year. We still have yet to beat a good team all year and have mostly only gotten draws against bad teams.
WE LOST TO DC UNITED LAST WEEK!!!.
That should give you all the confidence you need, and NJPC have owned us home or away for the past 2 years. I'm expecting a 3-1 defeat where McInerney scores 1st then we get bossed for the rest of the game.
We're missing Olave which means our centerback pairing will be Holgersson and Pearce. Holgersson NEEDS Olave because Holgersson is the kinda player that steps up as the first defender and Olave cleans up if necessary. With Pearce in there they both play the same sorta role leaving easy breaks for forwards. Plus with Cahill and Juninho out it's not looking good.
I'd love a win no fucking doubt but Metro knows how to bring me down come summertime.

Good call by the ref, clearly offside. Worried for a second there.

1-0 Philly. No offsides this time.
The RB defense looks disastrous so far.
