So with Suffolk Downs in MA closing down after a failed casino proposal, there is now a lot of buzz around here thinking the Krafts could buy the land and put up a stadium there for the Revolution.

Please make it happen pls

Nice and 70 degrees here today.

Bout to head out to the club bar. My pessimism is in full swing for the fall.

I must have Metro Playoff Fever

He didn't play, but those of us who criticized his move to Dortmund certainly didn't expect this just a few games into the season...

BVB vs Mainz:

Lineup: Weidenfeller - Piszczek, Ginter, Sokratis, Durm - Bender, Jojic - Kagawa, Großkreutz - Aubameyang, Ramos

Bench: Langerak, Gyau, Maruoka, Sarr, Mkhitaryan, Immobile, Schmelzer

USL playoffs tonight...


No. 2 SACRAMENTO REPUBLIC FC vs. No. 3 LA GALAXY II

Saturday at 10:30 pm ET, WATCH LIVE HERE

On the weekend they try to prove to MLS they are expansion-worthy, Sacramento Republic has a chance to knock off the lone MLS representative in the USL PRO semifinals at a sold-out Bonney Field.



No. 4 RICHMOND KICKERS vs. No. 8 HARRISBURG CITY ISLANDERS

Saturday at 7 pm ET, WATCH LIVE HERE

Harrisburg, the lowest seed in the USL PRO playoffs, are the Cinderella of this postseason after knocking off No. 1 Orlando City in the quarterfinals by a narrow 1-0 road win last weekend.

BWP subbed out after a hat trick tonight against the Sounders. What a goddamn catch he was.

Fake Edit: 3-1 now with the Dempsey goal. Came on two minutes ago.

I can hear the Sounders supporters more than the Reds. They're singing their Take 'Em song for that Red Bulls injury.

I've got to give them credit, even down by 3, the ECS stands tall and sings loud.

EDIT:

Reds have to pack it in here and prevent any type of counters by the Sounders. The Bulls are playing way too loose with such a dangerous team right now.

That Metro flag set the night. Seattle can make every excuse in the world, but the game was never about them. It was about Metro, and the slow but valiant fight against Red Bull and their bullshit.

The LA Galaxy are officially in the playoffs. Hopefully the team can finish strong these last few games and win the Supported shield in the process. It is going to be an exciting finish to the season either way.

I am going to need to see some replays from the LA Galaxy II match, especially the penalties. The second one did not look to be a pk. The LA Galaxy II were unlucky today, but it seemed to be a good season.

That would be absolutely insane. I figure at least 1 a game until the end, anything more is just gravy.

He loves scoring against Houston. Tfc defense is kinda booty and we tend to play well against them at home.

Btw he broke the franchise single season record last night. Adolfo Valencia got 22 in all competitions in 2000 I think it was.

Guardian has a good article on Felix Magath's reign of terror.


This caught my eye

Wonder how Hyndman felt playing for him.

Entire article is fascinating reading.

Crazy article:
It goes back to last season when Brede Hangeland, then the Fulham captain, was diagnosed with a slight thigh injury and the club’s doctor, Stephen Lewis, with more than a decade of working in elite sport, put together a recovery programme to try to get him fit for the weekend. Except Magath thought he knew better. There was another way to treat the problem, he said. So he sent the kit-man to the Tesco in New Malden, a short drive along the A3 from Fulham’s training ground, to buy a large block of cheese.

Hangeland was then told to perch on the end of a massage table and spend the afternoon in that position with a slab of cheese carefully positioned on the sore spot. The cheese, according to Magath, would have soothing effects. Hangeland was a sceptical patient and, funnily enough, Lewis decided a few months later he would rather stick to more orthodox practices and left to join Brighton and Hove Albion. Hangeland could not wait to get away either and has been a frequent critic of Magath ever since. Others, I suspect, will start to be more forthcoming now he is gone because it is clear, speaking to some of the people who have now left Fulham, that his regime was even more bewildering and unpleasant than previously thought.
