Impressive attendence stats for SKC. Before I started following the league I would not have thought of them as a soccer town like Seattle or Portland.

They've been a soccer town for a few years. Their attendance in the past was atrocious

Probably has more to do with the Fire than the offer itself. Who knows? If I were a player I wouldn't want to come here either. Atmosphere is toxic between owner, club, and fans.

What's wrong with Jones wanting a better deal? He should at least expect a salary offer that is a little closer to the money that Bradley gets, except on a 1 or 2 year deal. Jones was the best CM for the US during the World Cup.

This makes the whiff on Beasley hurt even more. I guess you can't call it a whiff since we didn't even try signing him.

This shit is depressing.

Looks like Gonzalez and Keane are bailing out on the All-star game... Wonder if that means Dwyer will get in? He deserves it.

Hey, I've been doing that as well. I took a one day break to go see Beyonce and Jay-Z in Seattle, and the day I started doing the challenge was the day after the Seattle game. It's surprisingly easy after the first week or so, isn't it? Good for you.

We need the 3 points badly as well. Our team has been coming into form as of late, so I'm really hoping that we don't drop 3 points against the Galaxy. We can't be letting any teams ahead of us start pulling away.

Edit - Nagbe is officially unable to play today. Fuck. I'm so sick of the hacking Nagbe strategy. It's so dangerous. MLS really needs to start doing something to protect players who are getting hacked so badly... he's the most fouled player in MLS by a large margin. https://twitter.com/TimbersFC/status/495632479907500034

On day 3 I was at a friend's place just hanging out when it turned into a party with like liters of whiskey and cases of beer everywhere. I just sat there drinking like 40 cups of water while I felt my liver personify and tap against my stomach begging for a drink. After that it was a breeze!

Wish these games would start on time. MLSsoccer.com says 2:30 PM ET kickoff for the Galaxy/Timbers, but I'm guessing that's just when coverage begins as they just got done interviewing Landon Donovan a few minutes ago.

That goal was 100% Kalif. Didn't track back to defend, and LA has been whipping it in all game. You have to cut out those crosses, especially if you're trying to sit back.

Not surprised by Zardes improving but who could have guessed Robbie Rogers would do so well at left back... if he keeps it up he should make the January camp roster.

Great movement by both Donovan and Keane...

How many assists does Donovan need to pass Ralston's 135?
Click to expand...

He's at 123 assists right now, going by past performance he's going to break that record next season. I don't think that number is counting today though, so make it 124. So 11 more from a guy who averages between 6 and 10 a season.

Any word on how long Jermain Defoe is out? He's not starting tonight against the Impact and was ruled out of the upcoming All-Star game on Wednesday.

Nice early goal for Gilberto to put Toronto ahead. This Montreal team doesn't seem remotely interested.

Man U vs Real Madrid on Fox... Ronaldo subs in, Chicharito makes it 3-1... not sure they've announced the attendance yet in Michigan but it's probably the highest ever for a soccer game in the US.

You were pretty close, replace Peguy with Cahill and you predicted the line up.

Revolution to offer New York away game ticket in special 2015 Fort Season Ticket Packages

The New England Revolution and New York Red Bulls have launched a ground-breaking season ticketing program for fans who purchase season tickets in teams’ supporters sections.

The Revolution’s 2015 Fort Season Ticket Package will include a ticket to every regular-season Revolution match at Gillette Stadium, as well as a ticket and bus transportation to the Revs’ away match against the Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. New York will provide the same benefits to their fans, including a ticket to the Red Bulls’ match against the Revs at Gillette Stadium in their own special season ticket program.

This is believed to be the first season ticket package in professional sports to include a ticket to an away game, plus transportation.

“Supporters traveling to away games is such an important part of soccer culture and we believe this is an innovative approach for our club to help our supporters organize and deliver a great road experience for a large number of our fans,” Revolution president Brian Bilello said.

“This partnership with the Red Bulls to formalize a traveling group of supporters for our matches is a key step in nurturing and growing that experience. The Revolution has always had tremendous fan support on the road against the Red Bulls, and we’re looking forward to seeing even more fans involved – by proving tickets and helping them get to the game and back as a group – next year when we go to Red Bull Arena.”

Revolution fans who purchase the 2015 Fort Season Ticket Package – with seats in sections 141, 142 or 143 - will receive an 18-game ticket package for matches at Gillette Stadium, as well as one game ticket and round-trip bus transportation to the Revolution’s match against the Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena next season.

There will only be 750 of the Revolution’s special Fort Season Ticket Packages. Each package will cost $243 and also includes free designated parking, exclusive season ticket holder events with Revs players and coaches and insider access to Gillette Stadium concerts and international soccer events.
