this ad is amazing

Hey, if you've got a star player with a superhero nickname it'd be a crime not to use it in an ad.

I wonder what ticket sales are like for Sunday. I'm assuming it's not sold out because they'd make some sort of press announcement about it.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Pfft, that poster sucks. Obviously, Dax would be planting the flag.

- dailyherald: With 1-0 loss, Chicago Fire setting new lows

Rolfe is one of the few remaining active players in MLS to have won a playoff game in a Fire uniform. His return was a stark reminder that the good old days ended with the 2009 Eastern Conference championship match.

The Losing Era in Chicago Fire history began in 2010, and it has included just one playoff game, a dreary 2012 defeat to Houston. The current team is 4-9-2 after Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Rolfe's D.C. United squad at Toyota Park. The Fire is the worst club in MLS this season, rapidly falling out of any reasonable hope for a playoff return. It has lost its last four MLS games.

So why can't this club succeed anymore?

"I don't know. We're putting all of our efforts into it," said Fire coach and director of soccer Frank Yallop

...Something, something.... Next year....

...Stanley Cup tho...

Being perennial losers and no development around the stadium is also choking the life out of Bridgeview. Been there once. It's an ok stadium I guess...in the middle of a gravel lot with nothing around it except industrial parks and apartments.

Man being a Fire fan sounds hard. It must be like, I dunno, being a Cubs fan.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

After their game against RSL, I like Abang up top. He's got the physical presence.

Maybe it's time for them to sell out to Monster or Rockstar to "solve" their problems.


Edit: Quincy Amarikwa has been moved to the San Jose Earthquakes. In exchange, the Fire have acquired veteran MLS defender Ty Harden

Garbage in, Garbage out.

- ASN: MLS Needs to Stop Playing Silly Midseason Friendlies

Major League Soccer's longstanding practice of interrupting its regular season to play against barnstorming teams from Europe makes the league look silly, and contributes to MLS' perception problems.

Garbage in, Garbage out.

Heh. Harden has been solid for the Quakes, but this is two backups being swapped. The Quakes need help at striker since Wondo's missing time and Innocent is out for the season.

Yeah, I am just jaded as fuck.

And that ASN article is spot on. It amounts to the best players in our league combined losing to a team that finished 17th out of 20 in the EPL, and at best means that a collection of our best players beat a 17th place team.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Gio is going to need a broken leg before we get any calls.

 

[zroid]

damn all these wasted chances are gonna haunt us

 

[ZZMitch]

Just picked up a Chromecast and I am super pumped at how well it works with MLS Live. Got the TFCvsDC game on my TV now!

 

[zroid]

unbelievable. the weather is just throwing everything off.

 

[Osorio]

Mexico's A-team looking like shit against Costa Rica.

Looks like a USA v Costa Rica final is in the cards.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

About time, lol.

edit. About time 2, lol.

 

[Osorio]

Guess Mexico woke up.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Philly and Montreal are currently playing underwater

also a beautiful goal by the 18yo Ayuk

 

[v1lla21]

Guess Mexico woke up.

Yup. Herrera was playing a 4-3-3 which is not what he is used to nor the players. Never mind the fact he was using a defender to supplement the midfield.

 

[Dr Campino]

I think that was the rainiest. Just drenched, but we didn't lose!

 

[ZZMitch]

Welp. This game is over!

 

[Azuran]

Vancouver just keeps on winning and yet you barely hear anything about them or how they may be legit contenders for the shield this year.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Get the man advantage, immediately get scored upon...

They have some really great players. A lot of which are not going to make the all stars. Watson had been a rock solid defender all season long. Porales is a dangerous midfielder and one of the best this season only topped by Benny, who is barely making third place in total votes for midfielders. Octavio is a fantastic striker and has been one of the most consistent goal scorers so far.

 

[Cornballer]

Go Quakes!

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

A big early save by Jaime Penedo.

 

[Dr Campino]

What a team set piece by RSL

 

[Osorio]

Quakes in white and LA in black is fucking me up.

 

[v1lla21]

Sj gonna win 2-1 I can feel it.
LA gonna win 2-1 I can feel it.

 

[Osorio]

Golazo

Hot damn

 

[Cornballer]

Good lord he crushed that.

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

Golazo. Juninho with the long distance shot.

Jaime Penedo with another big save.

 

[Cornballer]

Quakes getting into good positions and repeatedly making bad decisions.

 

[Osorio]

LA are so efficient with their opportunities.

 

[Cornballer]

Will be surprised if this ends without a red card.

 

[Cornballer]

Wondo!

 

[v1lla21]

Wondo!

 

[Osorio]

Wow another golazo.

And I questioned Wondo's pass to the right on the counter...

 

[Dr Campino]

Good god Wondo. What a game so far.

 

[Toothpick]

2 great goals already. Let's go Galaxy!

 

[Cornballer]

Lol, Bernardez

 

[Cornballer]

Concussion check on Omar?

 

[ZZMitch]

Lovin this game

 

[ActStriker]

[Cornballer]

Gonzalez off at HT.

 

[Cornballer]

Goodson!

 

[v1lla21]

Clarence Gordon... Goodson!

 

[v1lla21]

[Cornballer]

Ha ha, Cato
