With regard to the formation I am not fully convinced that Patrick Nyarko, who is one of my favorite players, can thrive in a wide position in a 4-4-2. He really is better suited to a 5 man midfield.

I watched nearly the whole game, it was quite good. Not at all a Seattle fan but I can't help but think Tigres deserved to lose after making 9 changes to their lineup compared to the first leg.

WOOOOOOOO amazing week just got even better:
Seattle Sounders FC has signed Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins, the club announced today. Per Major League Soccer and club policy, terms were not disclosed. He will occupy Seattle’s third and final Designated Player slot.
“This move is consistent with our promise to the fans.” said Majority Owner Joe Roth. “Our supporters are the best in Major League Soccer and deserve a team that competes each and every year. Obafemi is an electrifying talent who has international experience at the highest level."
could debut tomorrow

This Montreal v. Toronto match has been entertaining in the first 30 minutes. Hate the artificial turf but otherwise good.

Same old shit, creating a bunch of great chances but only finished one of them, gave up a soft goal and got caught out when pressing to get back in the game. There are some players that need to be benched but there are too many injuries to do it without making the situation even worse.
― a monolithic testament to shiftlessness and lost productivity (dan m), Monday, 25 March 2013 12:54 (thirteen years ago)
That said I'm not in panic mode yet. There's a bye this week and they need to get Pause and especially Arne Friedrich back on the field and see how things improve.

Oh yeah, I know they're good, just that they're in preseason and the Fire could barely manage shots on goal. I suppose it's a matter of players trying hard to win spots on one side vs players just trying to stay in shape and not get injured on the other, but it still disappoints to see a lower level side get the win especially since the Fire's MLS record has been dogshit so far.

so, the queens team is still on. (i actually went to some meetings about the stadium project for my job a while ago, and then it seemed to die).
but it won't be the Cosmos:
