There is no God. Just pain and cock teases from Metro.

Seriously though there seems to be chemistry and strategy issues at the moment. We're last year's team playing against two squads who had a year to prepare for us. Maybe Veron was supposed to give us a different look this year, but how much could he have changed when our midfield has played so poorly?

We'll see how we do next week, but I'm nervous this is a trend.

Relax, dude. We're two games into the season. They'll wake up.... hopefully.

 

[Dr Campino]

Here we goooooo!

 

[zroid]

I'll never get used to soccer in Yankee Stadium :lol

 

[smokeandmirrors]

NYC look better than I remember them ever being..

 

[zroid]

No way Bendik makes that save

 

[Dr Campino]

No way Bendik makes that save

I know, right? Or Konopka.

 

[Dr Campino]

Oh fuck off Villa (and McNamara for that matter)

 

[smokeandmirrors]

oh shit

 

[zroid]

Villa ages backwards 10 years against us

edit: wtf that hand ball was blatant as fuck. MLS refs!

 

[Clydefrog]

Yeah missed call on the handball but lol toronto

 

[Dr Campino]

Gross, super handball.

I hate the matches at Yankee Stadium so much.

 

[zroid]

Awful. TFC is so bad.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

that was an amazing ball from Pirlo. Shame David Villa couldn't put that one in the net

 

[Dr Campino]

There it is! Now it's a game.

Hey remember how the Yankees changed their ticket policies to no longer accept print-at-home tickets? NYCFC, who also plays in Yankee Stadium for some reason, announced Friday that they were planning to stop taking paper tickets too. They have a game today, two days later. In their release, the team said they’d be instituting extra checks to prevent fraud for today’s game, and phasing print-at-home tickets entirely by April.

Believe it or not, it didn’t turn out well.

[imBask]

is it just the camera angle or is the pitch still really small in NYC?

It's tiny. I'd wager there was creative math in calling it regulation size.

 

[zroid]

Giovinco is a wizard

 

[smokeandmirrors]

[Dr Campino]

SEBA SEBA SEBA

 

[imBask]

[Delicious Waffles]

Giovinco, bringing my team back <3

 

[Meier]

Stiven Mendoza looks super fast.

 

[Dr Campino]

I'm okay with the draw. Super Seba almost came through with the win, too.

It's been raining pretty heavily for a few days here, and there are noticeable patches of very waterlogged grass on the Quakes field.

yeahhh they're talking about that on FS1, lots of empty seats too

 

[Cornballer]

The Quakes keep on selling out matches, including this one, but there are always a lot of people at the bar in the open end plus quite a few no-shows among season ticket holders on the side opposite the tv cameras.

yeah I guessed so, shit happens

the super rainy 3-0 Impact game against the Revs last year is still the best game i've seen live, i've never been this wet in my life

 

[Cornballer]

Wondo!

yeah I guessed so, shit happens

I wish there were more butts in the seats, but what can ya do....

 

[Cornballer]

OMG. That run and chip by Amarikwa was gorgeous.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Good Lord

 

[ZZMitch]

Holy shit what a goal

 

[Cornballer]

Crappy vine of the goal. Doesn't include him shrugging off a few tackles and running 30 yards at the start, but it does show the finish. :O

 

[Dr Campino]

Damn, not the score I was expecting.

 

[imBask]

That goal. Good god.

[Cystm]

That Amarikwa chip is goal of the year contender. He was freaking 4v1...

He's been pretty solid since leaving Chicago

Some dude on twitter:

"Make Amarikwa Great Again"

 

[Cystm]

Wondo looks about 5 years younger out there for SJ too. He just picked Nagbes pocket and meg'd Powel.

 

[Chris R]

San Jose's stadium is so damn weird.

 

[Cornballer]

*gulps*

NWSL Pre-season starts today. Hoping to see more butts in seats this year.

Leaked jerseys were real

“The U.S. Soccer Federation pushes us like nobody else,” Scott Munson, vice president of Nike football apparel, tells SI.com. “They want us to be bold and want to take risks at times.”
