I knew your lot didn't have all that many fans, but even so it's too bad that only one of them is a girl.

Well Portland, Toronto, and Chivas are making big moves both on and off the field so that may help in general.
I wish they would get our keeper back and find us a mobile striker with ball handling skills.

YupI hear NYRB are shopping out Kenny Cooper.
Lots of domestic soccer news:

- NYRB put a big red bow on Kenny Cooper and is looking for offers, which is absolutely ridiculous. "Hey, thanks for scoring 18 goals. Now don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out."
So Chelsea become the first CL holders to fail to advance beyond the group stages....
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
And 2 England teams crash out of CL group stage again.
The past two Champions League campaigns are really going to hurt the EPL uefa coefficient. I wouldn't be suprised to see them limited to 3 teams in the coming years.
edit....and to add to this. My Arsenal team, who is having an awful season, decided not to field a strong team and subsequently loose their last game. They didn't care, because they had already qualified in 2nd. Last time they sandbagged like that to finish 2nd, they got Barcelona in the first round of knockouts and promptly got their bell rung.
As a fellow Gooner I hear ya. Unfortunately with our abysmal back 4 at some point in the tournament we're going to get stomped. It's just a matter of sooner or later.
I feel for the sanity of my Gooner friends. That was no skeleton team they put out against Bradford.
Sepp Blatter, I hope you stub your big toe so hard that you shatter the toenail and it gets all infected and your toe falls off.
For those of you who don't know that name and the seething hate it can create, he's the president of FIFA. Corrupt, inept, possibly mentally impaired. On Saturday he made a statement to the effect that MLS is not a major professional league. His biggest criticism? MLS doesn't follow the FIFA calendar. He made this statement on the same day that a college football bowl game got cancelled due to snow.
News flash, Sepp: the eastern United States and Canada don't enjoy the benefits of the Gulf Stream. To wit, it's really f**king cold. How many matches would get cancelled or have abysmal attendance if they were held in January in New York, Boston, Toronto, Montreal, etc.?
Please do us all a favor and go play in traffic.
MVKTR2 said:Amen, especially to the bolded part. As Steve at pro soccer dot com points out his comments also talked of how MLS played in non-soccer specific stadiums and that's what's needed to grow the game in the US. Well.... there's a bit of ignorance in that statement as well.
I particularly enjoy reading the columnist at bigsoccer whom is always skewering Chuck Glazer and the crook Warner as well as other concacaf thieves and crooks. Would be nice if concacaf could shed some caribbean weight and just have the dozen or so nations of consequence having equal say with a little input from the minnows. It's one thing when you're south america, but it's something else when 92% of the north american landmass is occupied by 3 countries and the likes of island nations with 70K citizens have as much say in soccer matters as nations of hundreds of millions of people.

Soccer is a lot like the Twilight movies. People running around for two and half hours and nobody scores while the fans insist that millions of people "just don't understand it"

Indeed. To make it more palatable for the US market we should make goals worth 7 pts, introduce TV time outs, and allow the officials to replay decisions for 5 minutes....
