I uh, am very pleased with this move. It's temporary for sure, but it seems like we basically are getting a much, much higher quality CB for exactly what we're paying for Kah, who was not very good this season. Borchers has a much greater pedigree in this league than Kah as well. Oh man. Borchers and Ridgewell as CBs with Kwarasey in goal? Holy FUCK YES. OUR DEFENSIVE PROBLEMS MIGHT BE SOLVED.

The 2002 WC reminds me of how much that hand ball that made me so bitter with Die Adler and how close we came to upsetting the world.
God damn it.
On the other hand, it also reminded me of this photo shoot:
Mcbride.
lol
It's the finals and the final Donovan game. Get it together, West Coasters.

It's raining out here, so everything has slowed down to a crawl.

I stood out in sub 20 degree cold last year for the final. My friends and I tailgated that crap. I don't need your excuses. Rain? RAIN?! Please, son. lol

It's LA, dude.
The "Northerners" say the same thing to us when we complain about our measly 6-8 inches of snow.
Oba wins goal of the year. (Video has Arlo White commentary)
Dat Busch face.
Edit: I wonder how much Buschs reaction swayed people even further to vote for this goal.

Looks like mlssoccer.com is running a beta of the new version of the website in case anyone wants to take a look.

Houston Chronicle writer says:
I did actually forget about the ridiculous prices. Donovan effect? I didn't think they were near that expensive in 2012.
THAT'S where it's from. Someone tweeted a pic and I had no idea where the site they got it from was. Thanks.

As Owen Coyle is on a flight to Houston now, Dynamo brass is informing Wade Barrett & Steve Ralston they didn't get the head coach's job.

It's an improvement. I like it.

Still no MVP though...which was a shite decision.
It's obviously geared towards mobile and tablets. Hideous on my desktop eyes, however.
I'm not happy about it, I wish Klinsmann was a competent coach instead of playing half the team out of position and putting his players through three a days for a month before the World Cup.
All Klinsmann needs to do is tell Holden to put cheese soaked in alcohol on his injured knee and he's just a smiling Felix Magath (without the three Bundesliga titles).

These might have gotten lost in the pre-MLS Cup hype, but both of these are worth a read.
Bruce Arena is always a good interview:
If you want information on what both sides are pushing for in the upcoming CBA discussions:
The latter gets somewhat technical, but it's a good overview of what's at stake.

Sounds kinda like Timmy went scorched earth in his new book with those comments and the Brad Friedel stuff. I will say this, usually if someone has a decent CV, then recommendation letters just kinda get thrown on a letterhead and signed.. they are rarely edited and sent back differently.

Philly looking at Danish Midfielder William Kvist
shockingly not a keeper. but could be potentially good, Brian Carroll needs to go and Amobi Okugo might be on his way out unfortunately.

Mikey "the Match" is on the move again.
But when that recommendation letter actually contains lies about how good that CV is you might be more reticent to put your own name to it...
Honestly, they're rarely looked at. It's just like, okay, sure, this person is legitimate, letterhead, sign, done. Either way, it feels like that didn't need to be included in the book, or more context was probably appropriate. It's clearly still a very sore subject though.
I am okay with this.
Also.
Can't do it himself, though.
With Ridgewell as his other CB and Kwarasey in goal I'm not feeling super scared about our defense anymore.
So true! I paid $60 per ticket for the finals and I remember last year it would have cost me approx. ~$30 for the same seats. Season ticket holder here lol
childish would be one way to describe Donovan.
I think cheapest seat were $60 and those are sold out. I'd love to go, but for two seats, fees and parking its almost $200. The grass berm section are $75!
I'll just buy me a LA Galaxy hat tomorrow and do my representation at home with my 2 year old who has his little Galaxy jersey.
Tickets started being sold on the 17th or something. Basically, buy the tickets just in case or get a full refund. It explains why the cheapest tickets availlable after the "win" at seattle were $120.
Actually the cheapest were $40 but those were gone in the first day. I ended up getting the general admission which i could sit anywhere behind the goalkeeper area. Not bad for $60 each but yeah previous years was cheaper. LA is not a big soccer city so I don't think the other LA team is going to survive here.

The draw for the women's world cup just happened. We drew the worst case scenario: USA, Australia, Sweden, and Nigeria. In that order. Jesus.

The difference between the men being in a Group of Death and the women being in one is that the USWNT are the Grim Reaper/Boogeywoman. We are the top dogs/the Germany of the group.
It'll be a difficult group no doubt, but they have should have every expectation to go through.
2002 Brazil would be apt.

Tough finding actual high quality videos this fast.
