Major League Soccer

I only watch games if there's beerBudweiser-drinking involved somehow.

fixed?

The main reason I'll listen to a music on my iTunes shuffle is to hear the best of the best do what they do. Hence, dubstep fan, but not freak-folk. I'd listen to Euro house stuff but fuck an "acid rave" reunion.

rong bord

yeah, i'm even thinking about getting season tickets for the sounders. excit3ed!!

I only watch Spain and Barcelona on TV!

Depending on the schedule, I will probably be in Seattle for Fire/Sounders.

The main reason I'll eat food is to taste the best flavors in the world. If my reservations at Babbo fall through, fuck cooking a noodle.

It's a hungry life sometimes, but my greatness purifies my soul.

wow you guys are so owning me. i can't even hold that opinion anymore. great parallels being drawn here. A++ work, pats on backs all around.

*eat A food, please.

y'all love iranian league baseball too, dontchya

No, rly, thank YOU for enlivening the post-5 o'clock slump. Perfectly timed, I was in danger of falling asleep at my desk.

above all we love sanctimonious pronouncements on which sport one deigns to watch

granny u in dainger of sounding like a granny!!

yes i was totally sanctimonious. great reading.

Mmmmm, Budweiser.

just think one day soon you may be able to have it all, granny dainger:

i only watch curvy Colombian players

guys there's some 8yr olds playing at the local indoor arena. should i save you seats?

bad compariso. i'd way rather watch that than mls on tv.

Those 8-yr-olds are the future of American soccer, plus totally adorable. Would spectate again.

USA u-20 women are in the semis of their world cup.

They beat the hell out of England the other night, I watched it on Galavision.

I like watching MLS in person. I don't like drinking Budweiser in person. Has to be over the phone.

i only watch curvly Colombian players

i heard it as 'ziggy' before i read it but now that i've gotten over that he seems like a good choice

Sigi Piggy is just following the $. Oh and I guess his brother lives in Seattle. Media accounts I have read say that the Seattle ownership are top class, however.

BTW jergins, I don't know how closely you follow the league but Seattle took Fire mid Stephen "The Author" King in the expansion draft -- a good choice.

Finally, front/back of the New England hate scarf I got at tonight's S8 board meeting: "ANTI-REVS"/"PAUL REVERE WAS A SNITCH".

rumors of damarcus beasley returning to the fire oh please please please please PLEASE be true

it's not a draft it's a SUPERDRAFT

OHOHOHOHOHO ZING FROM ALEXI LALAS

"Eddie Vedder has a better chance of making an impact in Seattle than Freddie Ljungberg"

no matter how hard they try this will just never be like the drafts in the other sports

alexi lolus, ljungberg is a good looking man. get your priorities in order and help GROW THE GAME

who won the last MLS league? houston?

cowlumbus

the league is never going to grow if they keep pre-signing college kids to contracts with the express intent of making money on selling them to mid-table european clubs

what's a good mls blog

http://www.soccerbyives.com
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/

both don't focus exclusively on MLS but do a really good job of covering the USMNT and the league

er, shit, http://www.soccerbyives.net, not .com

thanks, perfect

http://www.goal.com/en-US/ has good articles and blogs, too.

OK I'm happy, the Fire traded up and snagged local boy Baggio Husidic.

Please tell me his parents named him after Il Divin Codino.

yup

Husidic was born in northwest Bosnia and grew up idolizing Italian soccer legend Roberto Baggio. His father began calling him Baggio instead of his given name, Adis, and the new moniker stuck. Zarif Husidic, a former professional soccer player, owned a nearby mall and called it Baggio for his son.

lololololol

That sponsor sounds like a good idea, until all the players realize they won't make money until they sign other players. Then those players sign other players, and those players sign other players..,

Oh good christ, I saw some shit about that. The author of that blog is a class A moron. He's a self-styled "hooligan" and I'm not even kidding. His supporter group is called "Huds0n Str33t H00ligans", like after the shitty shitty Elijah Wood movie... He also got his nose bloodied by some S8ers when he and some of his punk friends tried to start a fight. Then they ran away.

It's a pointless, stupid waste of energy, but I really hate Crew fans.
