Shirts are both terrible. Might have to nab me a pair of shorts doe.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

White one looks pretty good.

Black one just makes me think of a police car :x

Agreed. I think I'm getting that white one eventually.

 

[Cystm]

I hate the kits.

Couple of news items:

The Philadelphia World Cup: Kenney's plan to unite a city

The tournament will feature teams representing the cultures and countries of Philadelphia’s immigrant communities. Think: A “Philadelphia International Cup.”

“That’s just the tentative name for it,” said Salvatore. “We are still working on hammering a lot of details and the name is one of them.”

Mayor Kenney said his hope is the tournament will highlight Philadelphia’s diversity and bring together neighborhoods. It has always been a dream of his, he said.

“The Germans from Cannstatter in the Northeast playing the Mexicans in South Philly playing the Ghanaians of Southwest and so on,” Kenney said. “When you bring people together around one commonality, it’s the foundation for important cultural exchange and understanding that increases tolerance across the city.”

This is a really great idea and very cool of Philly to do. Would love to see this throughout the country.

Arsenal Ladies to play Seattle Reign

Arsenal Ladies will play Seattle Reign in the United States on Thursday, May 26, during a mid-season break in the Women’s Super League.

Good move all around. Love to see this. Would love it even more around the same time as the all-star break. Would be really good for NWSL and WoSo in general.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Definitely look better here, but still not great. Will have to see them in action:

Whites are nice, though I wish the blue was darker. The blacks are an abomination.

Team America: World Police.

Fuck everything

[EazyWeazy3]

San Jose's stadium is so damn weird.

What is weird about it?

I have season tickets for the Quakes and love the stadium. Curious to hear why you find it weird.

The only complaint I have is that the Ultras are right above the other supporters groups. That gets annoying fast.

 

[Cornballer]

Some good games this weekend:

 

[imBask]

Nice, NYCFC vs Orlando tonight!

oh wait it's at the Yankees stadium

bleh

 

[ZZMitch]

Sad I am going to miss most of the games this weekend. Should be a fun one.

FC Dallas vs. Montreal seems like it will be great. Also SKC vs Toronto

 

[Cystm]

3 - 2 NYCFC

Also:

Nguyen signed a new contract with the Revs.

NYC :lol :lol

Also:

Nguyen signed a new contract with the Revs.

Good. Would like to know what the terms are, but just hope he's happy now. Was not at all happy last season

 

[ActStriker]

Apparently they used TAM, so they paid him a decent amount

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Can't believe that game finished 1-nil (and the goal scored was off the face) so much bad finishing.

 

[Cystm]

Ugly game for both teams. Just sloppy touches everywhere.

 

[imBask]

Orlando sucked, but NYCFC sucked more

 

[Cornballer]

FJohnson and CCV both apparently injured and not playing this weekend. Not good news with important qualifiers coming up.

Pretty pathetic crowd in Chicago

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Pretty pathetic crowd in Chicago

Doesn't appear they missed anything the first 45'.

 

[Cystm]

Chicago vs Columbus is the fucking worst.

Our defense is really good, thankfully.

These old folks in our midfield look like they are just barely hanging in there.

Alvarez seriously cannot sprint for more than 5 yards. Everyone on the attack has a heavy touch so we can't find a rhythm. The attack breaks down on the second or third touch everytime.

 

[Dr Campino]

Heh, tuned into the Houston/RBNY match and see the Dynamo score immediately.

 

[Cystm]

Wenger and Maidana have reshaped Houston. They are looking better than they have the past 2 seasons.

Nice meg by Grelladinho.

 

[Dr Campino]

Geez, this game is ridiculous.

 

[ZZMitch]

Man that Reb Bull vs Houstan game is why I love MLS. So exciting! Felipe with some sweet set pieces and Zizzo's face saving the day.

 

[Cystm]

Amazing game

 

[imBask]

Not our best half. UNLEASH THE DROGBA

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Hell of a game at Red Bull Arena tonight. Felipe was a beast. My hands are still frozen.

 

[Cornballer]

Settling in for Quakes-LAG. The lack of Goodson for the Quakes has me deeply concerned.

Of interest, no Zelalem, Rubin, Pulisic, or CCV.

 

[imBask]

all of you saying Ciman didn't deserve his defender of the year title should be watching this game, he's so damn good

 

[imBask]

Drogba is in!

 

[Cornballer]

...and Gerrard is done for the night. Quality 3 minute shift for him this evening.

 

[Mully]

Great game. Fun win, but boy did Metro lose a lot with Veron, Baah, and Zubar getting injured. It may be a difficult few weeks for RBNY.

 

[Dr Campino]

Beckerman sent off 30 min in for studs up on Adi.

 

[B-Dubs]

Great game. Fun win, but boy did Metro lose a lot with Veron, Baah, and Zubar getting injured. It may be a difficult few weeks for RBNY.

Yea, it's gonna be a rough month or so.

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

Typical dirty San Jose.

 

[Cornballer]

Typical dirty San Jose.

Lol. De Jong's was more deserving of a red card. That call was a joke.

 

[Cystm]

MLS Refs. Yellow card? RED! No contact? Penalty! All Ball? RED! Nearly broke the mans leg? NO FOUL.

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

Lol. De Jong's was more deserving of a red card. That call was a joke.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I do agree it was a pretty soft red.

 

[Cornballer]

I do agree it was a pretty soft red.

If he's going to call it that way, then at least be consistent from the start of the match.

In any case, this makes for a really dull second half of one way traffic.

 

[Cystm]

Mark Geiger makes this league worse.

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

Nice little free kick, to an easy Zardes tap in.

 

[Cystm]

MVMcgee.

Feels bad, man.

Nevermind, poor clearance from Colvey.

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

When it rains it pours for Zardes. Who said to was going to be a dull night?

 

[Dr Campino]

Oh RSL, nice going Olave. Now down to 9 men, and Portland pulls level.

 

[Cornballer]

Too little, too late, but Wondo's going to get his.

EDIT: Bernardez....ugh

 

[FuturusX]

Ref had a shocker in the Seattle game. Absolute disgrace.
