That was absolutely fantastic theater.
It really is a lot of fun to watch.

Nice work, Montreal!
- Steven Goff: When will Arsenals Gedion Zelalem play soccer for the United States?
Short version: Everyone is waiting on FIFA to rubber stamp the switch. Sounds like they're confident that it will happen, but the timing isn't known.

Damn I missed Montreal shitting the bed and still pulling through. Looks like fans were having a heart attack.
Congrats Montreal, leader of MLS

I mean really guys, its amazing.
Montreal followed the MLS playbook:
Score first: Check
Bunker down: Check
Get scored on 4 times in 2nd half: Check
AND STILL WON

Union practicing in the stadium today. Blake's in one net and McCarthy the other in a full-field scrimmage. No sign of Mbolhi at the moment.

Curtin is planning to address the situation in today's presser but it seems doubtful Mbolhi will be back here ever again.

I forgot the Sporting game over the weekend so I didn't get to see him in action for a full game. Was surprised how bad he looked in highlights. I expected him to come in and be at worst a competent to decent keeper but that's clearly not the case.
Wasting a DP slot on a goalkeeper is pretty dumb in my opinion. There are already so many good goalkeepers that take up much less money in this league.

well something is/was up unless he's really really upset about being benched. His journeyman status seems to be due to some attitude problems.
M'Bolhi wasn't a dp, just really expensive. The Union actually have 1 DP spot open right now.
Klinsmann did an interview for US Soccer

Geez, I just looked at that score. Not even half yet.
What the heck happened? Did the ref send someone off in the first minute?
No, but someone from Herediano got sent off in the 27th.
America just flexing their financial muscle I guess? They're the richest team in CONCACAF going against a team whose stadium seats less than 9,000.

Holy shit, 6-0?

D.C. United anticipating salary cap relief this year bec of Eddie Johnson health issues. Career likely over. Lawyers & union involved
This isn't the way I wanted to see him leave the team.

What happened?
Enlarged heart, he was diagnosed before the season. I think we were all hoping he'd be able to come back.

Can't wait for tonight's game on UniMas. The announcers have become the highlight of my week. It's performance art mixed with am SNL sketch mixed with complete incompetence.
Sporting KC vs. Salt Lake (2-1) I don't even know with this one. SKC wins in the last 5 seconds of a 5 minute ET.
DCU vs. NYRB (2-1) DC has not been in good form the past few weeks, a home game should help turn that around, but I think the Beverages have been playing solid football and have good momentum going into RFK.
Portland vs. OCSC (3-1) Portland is in great form without even having key players from last season fit. They are at home. Kaka is almost a lone soldier with little support, maybe the forwards will finally start to play, but I think Portland has this one all the way.
Galaxy vs. Sounders (2 - 1) Maybe Seattle will surprise me, but their back line with Evans has been a disaster. I can see Dempsey hooking up with Oba on a goal, but I think LA can get two and hold them off.

I like it. If it was inverted, I'd buy 3.
Oh come on, if they aren't going to put any effort into it we should just go back to the centennial.
