...i'm going to be so lost.

You would have spontaneously combusted? Imagine how I would have felt, sitting in the Army. Hahaha.I'll take a 3-3 tie over losing 4-3 to a stoppage time bicycle kick. If that shot went in I would've spontaneously combusted.
Yeah. Nagbe and Valeri were all over the place last night. It was glorious. I'm also SO glad that this team just did not give up. Last year we would have folded worse than a piece of origami.Timbers were sensational, they just never gave up. They pressed and pressed and wore us down. In Nagbe, Johnson and Valeri you've got one hell of an attack.
Me too. I have no expectations this year. I'm just gonna have fun with it.
Actually that 1-0 away loss to Vancouver wasn't that bad considering the team we are fielding. lol
We basically gave you two goals. On a silver platter.Looking back I'm not angry about the result at all. From the fact that our team is almost entirely new, to the fact that we didn't play that well in the first half at all, or that our best player was Silvestre. A point away to a much hungrier side is great.
Imagine what we'd look like if our DPs didn't play like shit.
Making a few adjustments to the OP and will add more info over the next week if I can. PM me if you have suggestions or comments.
Just a reminder that there's a CONCACAF game tonight. Houston vs Santos. Will be on Fox Soccer at 8 p.m. EST.
Just caught the last 10 minutes of Houston and Santos Laguna. Houston win 1-0 and take the one goal lead into Mexico. Does this work like the UEFA champions league with the away goals a tiebreaker ?
In the event that the two teams are tied on aggregate goals scored at the end
of Regulation time in the 2nd Leg of the Championship Stage, the following tiebreaker criteria shall be applied, in order, to determine the winning team.
Greater aggregate number of away goals scored in regulation time in the
two matches (excluding any goals scored in overtime)
Greater number of goals scored in the overtime periods at the end of the
second match
Kicks from the Penalty Spot procedure (as per FIFA Laws of the Game)
I read about two big changes to this year's Open Cup
1. The 1st place prize goes from 100k to 250k
2. No more bid hosting process. All hosts will be determined at random.
Good stuff and about time.
Nice OP. I don't follow MLS because I don't want to get attached to any team while I wait for Orlando City to hopefully get promoted but I do watch the games when I can as I'm a big fan of the sport in general. Caught the 2nd half of the Timbers-NYRB game this weekend and what an ending.
My fiancee and I were looking at going to Seattle to take an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon and I was having it scheduled around going to a Sounders game but ultimately we picked a different destination. I do hope to get up there some day and see a game though as their stadium is truly a sight to behold.
Orlando is probably gonna get it. There's already a good fanbase for a minor league team and MLS seems to do well in NBA-MLS markets.
I'm happy about Orlando coming to the league someday. If that comes to pass, who gets pushed to the Western Conference? It has to be SKC or Houston. Either one really makes the Eastern conference alot weaker. Are there any new "western" teams on the horizon?
It'll definitely be Houston in the West, and not a moment too soon. It's a travesty that they're not in the same conference as their biggest rival.
I'm also looking forward to the successful lower division teams leaving for MLS. I still don't understand why San Antonio hasn't been hyped up more, with their 10k attendance in NASL. (that's one potential Western expansion team, BTW). Salivating at the thought of a Cascadia-like Lone Star Cup between the Texan teams.
San Antonio will happen. Not liking the name change of the STARS, but their unis and crest are nice.

San Antonio would be another NBA-MLS market
Hmmm
ehh does MLS need another team in Texas? i would rather them add to the southeast before that ( Orlando, Miami). im also not a fan of adding another team in NYC area
Really? I thought Scorpion was great.
Then again we all got used to names like "Timbers" "Sounders" and "Crew," so I guess we'll get used to it.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the 1836 name, just faux outrage PC bullshit that forced us to have another europosing name. We need cool names like Last Stand FC, Heartland, Roxky Mountain Arsenal. I will be pissed if Detroits future team is not called Motor City.
How does this sentence not have "Red Bulls" in it? The worst name for a team in the history of bad team names.
Holy fuck Kobayashi!,!!,
We look like complete trash today. We'll be lucky to get out of here at 4-0 at this point.
Montreal? YOU'RE GOING DOWN TONIGHT.
Yes. He's come out and said that he was definitely jetlagged, and someone that experienced has the potential to bounce back. He knows he fucked up, now he just has to NOT DO IT AGAIN.Do you want Silvestre playing?
