Toronto Chicago is gonna be a fun race to watch the rest of this season.

Ben Olsen Squealing in frustration breaths life into my soul

Spoiler

Ps: We're really fucking good.

also how i felt in the stands, but a fuck ton happier.

andre blake AINT NOTIN TO FUCK WIT

 

[Icolin]

Just Clement Diop things. 1-0 SKC.

Can't believe European teams have interest in this guy.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I LIKE IKE

Goddamn that was a dope bicycle kick

 

[Askani]

Just Ike out there. Running around being Ike. Doing Ike things. NBD.

 

[Askani]

How is that not a red card tackle? JFC.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Yeah, ridiculous. I hope Benny is okay.

 

[Askani]

L.A. just trying to hurt people now.

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

Decent game by LA Galaxy. Hard to win when they gift two goals.

 

[Cornballer]

Solid and necessary win for the Quakes. Nice to see Hoesen and Urena get going. Lima was a dumbass on his second yellow and now he'll miss the Clasico. The injury and suspension issues are still hurting the team a lot.

Glad to see Opara continuing to be successful, but it really bums me out that he was a Quake first and asked to leave after a few injury plagued seasons.

 

[gutshot]

 

[ZZMitch]

Fun roster. Excited to watch guys like Saief, Morrow, Rowe, Dwyer etc. get a chance to prove themselves.

 

[Icolin]

Nice to see Saief, Roldan, and Rowe in the fold. Would've taken Sapong over Morris, but good roster overall.

 

[B-Dubs]

I imagine there's going to be swaps in the attacking third for the knockout stages.

 

[Dr Campino]

Great to see Morrow get a call up. Glad Jozy and Bradley get a bit of a rest, too, at least until the knockouts.

 

[RBH]

And here are the players that didn't make the 23 man roster, but who are on the 40 man roster and can still be called in after the group stage:


GOALKEEPERS: Joe Bendik (Orlando City SC), Jesse Gonzalez (FC Dallas), Tim Howard (Colorado Rapids)

DEFENDERS: Steve Birnbaum (D.C. United), Greg Garza (Atlanta United FC), Matt Polster (Chicago Fire), Jonathan Spector (Orlando City SC)

MIDFIELDERS: Michael Bradley (Toronto FC/CAN), Tommy McNamara (New York City FC), Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers), Chris Pontius (Philadelphia Union), Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund/GER), Wil Trapp (Columbus Crew SC)

FORWARDS: Jozy Altidore (Toronto FC/CAN), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), C.J. Sapong (Philadelphia Union), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)

 

[B-Dubs]

Bruce can make six changes right?

I imagine Jozy, Pulisic, and Nagbe are definitely on that list.

 

[ZZMitch]

Dom Kinnear out as Quakes headcoach

 

[Cornballer]

Finally.

Huge #Quakes74 news as head coach Dominic Kinnear has been fired. Assistant coach John Spencer also let go. Chris Leitch will take over.

 

[Cornballer]

Leitch isn't listed as interim, so I guess he will at least get until the end of the season.

 

[Icolin]

Finally.

With Fioranelli coming in, along with other major changes for the Earthquakes, it was only a matter of time.

 

[Cornballer]

With Fioranelli coming in, along with other major changes for the Earthquakes, it was only a matter of time.

Sure, and I'm certainly happy about it. The timing is just strange (after a win, before the Clasico), and putting Leitch, the technical director, in as the new manager without an interim tag is odd. Leitch doesn't have much experience, and it doesn't make sense to me that they'd do this for him if they were actually looking elsewhere for a new manager. We'll see what happens.

 

[Chris R]

Sounders timbers about to start, should be a great one.

 

[Dr Campino]

I need to get to a Timbers match, maybe even against Seattle one day.

 

[Icolin]

I need to get to a Timbers match, maybe even against Seattle one day.

Nah, go to one against Vancouver. Vancouver v Portland>>>Seattle v Portland.

Also, this game hasn't been very good so far, but hopefully that changes soon.

EDIT: And here we go. Joevin Jones with the goal, 1-0 Sounders.

 

[Icolin]

Shit just got real.

 

[Chris R]

Red card? For that? Really?

 

[Dr Campino]

Redcardo Salazar living up to his name.

Red card? For that? Really?

Good ol' DOGSO.

 

[Icolin]

Red card? For that? Really?

DOGSO, didn't win the ball, and scissor tackled. Red for me personally, but I wouldn't disagree with a yellow either.

 

[Icolin]

Thunderous header from Asprilla there. This game has really sprung to life.

 

[Dr Campino]

Yeah, if they can keep the same pace in the second half, it's going to be a rout.

 

[Icolin]

Yeah, if they can keep the same pace in the second half, it's going to be a rout.

Well, there's this guy on the bench...

 

[Chris R]

DOGSO, didn't win the ball, and scissor tackled. Red for me personally, but I wouldn't disagree with a yellow either.

Ya after a few replays it looked worse than it did live.

Seattle playing well for being down, but that 2nd goal is going to be hard to overcome.

 

[Icolin]

WHAT WAS THAT

 

[Dr Campino]

Of COURSE it was Dempsey!

 

[Icolin]

DEUCE

I CALLED IT

 

[ZZMitch]

Haha Dempsey with the dagger

 

[Dartastic]

I'm BEYOND furious. That feels like a ducking 5-0 loss.

 

[Realeza]

Cascadia paternity continues.

 

[Cystm]

After forgetting to set my Fantasy team for 3 straight weeks, I finally am (barely) back in triple digits for a week.

Fell so far in many leagues tho.

 

[Meier]

It was a definite red for me.

As was Lawrence's tackle at the end of the NYC game.

 

[ZZMitch]

The MLS All Star game jersey was just posted on the MLS twitter. 1994 throwback!

And Nathan Smith's leg breaker tackle on Benny Feilhaber in the LA v SKC game.

Yeah, I like it. Love the touch of the maple leaves and stars too.

 

[Icolin]

Portland Timbers have signed Congo international CB Larrys Mabiala. Played in the Turkish league the past few seasons.

 

[Dartastic]

We need him. Immediately. Too bad he won't be available to play in the next couple matches. Hopefully in the meantime he's getting good training in with Ridgewell to work on their rapport. Also, RIDGEY. STAY HEALTHY PLEASE FFS.

No Ashtone Morgan?

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Oh great it's this clown officiating the game.

 

[Icolin]

lol

Although that "FUCK TORONTO" tifo that Montreal had last week was just as bad, so it evens out.

 

[imBask]

That's pretty good, and yes we deserve it

 

[Icolin]

That save from Crepeau on Ricketts was unreal. How is this guy not playing instead of Evan Bush?
