I'll go next year. Hopefully I'll have sold my house in Maine by then and be able to afford some fun now and again.

i really don't think anybody in favor of the dcu-to-baltimore idea realize how suicidal it is, no matter who'd pay for a stadium up there, and that's good ol' MLS for you in a nutshell

If it moves the fans will get together and start AFC DC and they'll have loads of national goodwill and credibility.

LA are the most boring team to watch, guess that's why they never lose at home.
I have to say, the Guardian's MLS playoff coverage has been pretty good, low on the snark-o-meter which is a bit of a departure from previous seasons.

Enjoyed the second leg of LA-NY quite a bit, looking forward to tonight's game even more.
― boxall, Sunday, 6 November 2011 23:31 (twelve years ago) link
pretty good so far imo
― bomb.gif (dan m), Monday, 7 November 2011 02:48 (twelve years ago) link
my mans saborĂo scored again. like wayne gretsky somehow, according to my commentator. feel good abt this bc LA's first was never a penalty.
disquieting to see robbie keane playing a few days before ireland's crunch euro qualifying playoff, even tho a bunch of dudes who'll be there played 12 hours ago in england.

rsl was the last team besides the gals to have a shot at this imo, oh well

RIP RSL.
I enjoyed watching them and I would have loved to see them prevail.

thought Beckermann was great
― boxall, Monday, 7 November 2011 04:11 (twelve years ago) link
he's been a v strong player for a while now, would definitely pick him over most mids in the league
that said I don't know why klinsi keeps calling him up

would rather keane stayed on the bench next friday tbh

I thought these offseason deals were just workouts and not actually trials. No one expects Brek Shea to sign for Arsenal, do they?

idgaf what happens to Shea I just don't want anybody swoopin' for our keeper, no matter how unlikely it actually is

from today's Guardian Rumour MillThe former Real Madrid stroller Guti could be on his way to the Kansas City Cheeseburgers of the MLS.

Wow, I never spotted that. Well done - despite the rather corporate job title.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 13 January 2012 11:17 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I would have rather had simply our organization's name for the attribution but my 'official' email address has the full title and that's what they used. So it goes. I'm actually a little more irked at how they edited one of my answers.
No matter what, more coverage of the league is always good. You'd hardly know there was a club here if you only paid attention to the local big media outlets.

I'm glad they picked up a quasi-local sponsor and the $ will come in handy as the team finishes rebuilding, but I (and many others) are pissed they changed the stripe across the chest from white to blue.
― long duk dan (dan m), Monday, 30 January 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
although it has been repeatedly said that the change is not a result of Quaker being the sponsor
