Requested a ban for 6 months to focus on school, work, and be away from GAF. Phone number can be seen in quote.

I'll be at most Metro games going forward. Might miss a few in August to visit family back home.

Used my wild card to completely retool my fantasy squad. I wasn't doing BAD but I felt like I could do much better and I had too many transfers to make in order to maximize points. What do you guys think? I think it's fairly balanced, with a good use of medium priced players that perform well and at the same time maximizes the attack.

TEAMoftheWEEK-2015-12.jpg


GK: Brian Sylvestre (Philadelphia Union) – Made multiple timely saves on the road as the Union got another three points against the East's elite.

D: Amadou Dia (Sporting Kansas City) – Filled in nicely at left back with all of the injuries SKC are dealing with at the position, helping the team secure four points in four days.

D: Laurent Ciman (Montreal Impact) – Kept things mostly solid in the back for the Impact as they beat a potent FC Dallas side, 2-1.

D: Andrew Farrell (New England Revolution) – Sat out Wednesday night and came back Saturday with a vengeance. Had an immense night in trying conditions, throwing his body around, making timely challenges, and doing what needed to be done to preserve a result for the shorthanded Revolution.

D: Fabinho (Philadelphia Union) – Got a spot start at left back in place of the injured Ray Gaddis and had what Jim Curtin called his best game ever with the Union. Produced a great assist and made some important clearances in the Union's 2-0 victory.

M: Sebastian Giovinco (Toronto FC) – Was active, engaged and aggressive from the onset. He scored a well-taken goal from distance, but also pulled off a number of helpful flicks and orchestrated several of TFC’s dangerous attacks in TFC's 1-0 win.

M: Lucas Pittinari (Colorado Rapids) – Scored the first goal of his MLS career but was also bulldog defensively, making six tackles, as the Rapids beat the Whitecaps at home.

M: Benny Feilhaber (Sporting Kansas City) – Had a typically classy, cultured box-to-box performance against the Revs and followed it up with another strong performance against the Sounders.

M: Fabian Castillo (FC Dallas) – Was electric in a losing effort for Dallas, wreaking havoc on defenders all night long.

F: Kei Kamara (Columbus Crew SC) – Two goals and could’ve bagged a hat trick. His back-to-goal play was also generally excellent, flicking on sharp passes and luring the Fire defenders out of shape in Crew SC's draw.

F: Krisztian Nemeth (Sporting Kansas City) – Two goals and a night of clever, calculating and clinical wing play on Wednesday. He then followed that up with some solid play in Seattle.

Coach: Jim Curtin (Philadelphia Union) – The Union boss has to be feeling a little better after a rough start to the season as his team finally earned their first win at Red Bull Arena.

Bench: Evan Bush (Montreal Impact), Axel Sjoberg (Colorado Rapids), Kevin Ellis (Sporting Kansas City), Vincent Nogueira (Philadelphia Union), Benoit Cheyrou (Toronto FC), Ignacio Piatti (Montreal Impact), Alvaro Saborio (Real Salt Lake)

Okay. If we manage to pick up 6 points over the next two games (both of which will be played in a very short time span) I'll promise not to freak out. If we can't even pick up three though........ yeah. Freak out time. Also, I'll wonder WTF is actually happening with my team.

I'm surprised how quick the Timbers fell back to Earth.

In addition, #SportingKC homegrown goalkeeper @JonKempin21 has been recalled from his loan to @SAScorpions.

Came out of nowhere but I can't say I'm upset about it. Melia has been better IMO than Marin and I'm a supporter of Kempin. Still, we'll need a third keeper again.

I mean, we all knew that the 2016 was a blatant money grab, but damn.

"Guys lets celebrate our history by holding the centennial in another region! Oh, and we'll do it in a country half of you despise!"

Do you guys think this shake up of CONCACAF will improve things for the confederation and its members, or did the corruption mostly affect CONCACAF's influence on FIFA's global projects?

I think itll mean an end to closed circuit pay per view broadcasts of international matches held in certain countries.

Fucking Traffic sports.

And hopefully the end of the BEIN era. Nobody has that channel, they can fuck right off with all their holdings.

US dropped a 3-1 result to France. Supposedly the backline was awful and the US were hammered in the first half. Jordan Morris had the US goal towards the end.

Yedlin got 90 minutes today for Spurs against the Malaysia all stars. Looked good, showed off lots of pace. Made a couple real nice crosses in. Solid stuff
