I really don't know how you can root for two teams in the same division.
I love to see a good game as a neutral, but when my team is playing? There can be only one, and they will live forever. (Cue that Queen Highlander song thingy)
It would matter who needs it's more. If they played tomorrow, man city last year I rooted for Norwich and we beat man city last game of the year that moved us up like 4 or 5 spots and we got a lot more money.
Well, My lot (Southampton) finished the season as "The best of the rest" That is a very, very good end to the season for me. It's going to be a very long summer hoping that we can hold on to our key players who are in a glaring transfer spotlight.........Crap! I hate the closed season with a passion.

Bittersweet day I guess when one wins the title and one gets relegated.
I'm also surprised about Shea and johnson. I guess Shea should have stayed put in Dallas. Johnson was in great form in SEA.

Woo! Not only that but each network has it's own game of the week time slot. And several articles indicate espn, fox, and Univision will be putting a lot more emphasis on the domestic game.http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2014/05/12/12/01/140512-ussoccer-mls-tv-deal
Great deal for MLS. Assuming I'm reading it right. They get 68 televised games between ESPN and Fox Sports. Plus playoffs of course.
Ooooh I think I'd much rather have DMB over Timmy. IMO a good choice for starting LB.US announced 30 man.
Glad Timmy made it, hope he's fit for the cup cause I'd rather have him and Fabian than Beasley. Glad Green made it. Wish Shea got a shot. Also shocked Eddie didn't make it.
Counting down the days until the FA Cup Finals this Saturday! Going to head to the local soccer pub http://theglobepub.net/ an hour or so early with the family, grab a table and have a proper English breakfast, enjoy some breakfast stout, and cheer on the Gunners. First time they've played for a trophy in quite a while.

I hope so, the MLS coverage is pretty weak compared to what the rest of the domestic sports get. Case in point, I ended up having to watch the Fire season opener vs. Chivas on Univision in Spanish because the local channel that normally carries the games didn't have it.
Busy news week.
Orlando revealed their crest. Classy and simple. I like it.

Cool that Green made it but I don't think he should make the 23 unless his send-off series performance is likened to the Second Coming. Wondo has been stellar for the Yanks. His cleverness makes for a great power sub.
I hope he makes the final 23. I wouldn't use him often but we need someone for speed.
Aside from Green, unless Landycakes isn't starting, I don't see someone who can stretch a defense out wide.
Assuming our starting XI is Howard, Johnson, Besler, Beasley, Bradley, Jones, Donovan, Dempsey, Zusi, Jozy. We carry Johannson and Wondow to strike. Guzan and Rimando for GK, Cameron, Goodson as locks for CB, Beckerman and Mix for CDM, Bedoya for mid. that leaves your final 3 spots. Evans I think gets it unless Chandler upsets him, some thing Davis goes, but I'd much rather have Green for his speed. Then I think that Parkhurst maybe wins the last.
I think it requires some kind of brain surgery. I like to think that I am flexible on most things. Religion, I am pretty much set on my conclusions, but am always happy to listen to alternative views. Politics, the same way.......Footy? I am a total fascist. There is only one team, one way of supporting, one correct match result.

Exactly. Whenever my team is playing the ultimate goal is to crush the other team, see them driven before us, and to hear the lamentation of their fans.
Having said all that, I do have a potential problem in the WC if both England and USA manage to do better than expected. Of course, I still have an hierarchy due to the amount of years served as an England supporter, but it could still get messy. I would certainly have to drop the notion of annihilation and humiliation. If England and USA meet in the WC, it would feel like meeting myself in a dark alley and trying to mug myself. :cross:

USA all the way for me. In fact I find myself actively rooting against England just so I can see my English friends miserable. To be fair it's probably because of all the stick I get from them regarding USA footy.
Yes.. if just the kids who mainly play football and baseball focused on soccer...
I always sort of thought that Lebron James, with his size & athleticism, would be the most dominant striker in the world. Imagine, Didier Drogba in his prime, times 2.

I think the fact that Shea isn't in camp, and Klinsmann has shown time and time again that he likes being able to sub Shea in as a fast winger, I think Klinsmann agrees with you.
It will be interesting to see what he does with Donovan. If you take him at his word that he considers Donovan a forward, then he has to be on the bench, right? If klinsmann goes with his seemingly preferred 4-2-3-1, altidore pretty much has to be there as the best target striker in the bunch (even though he's not at his best as a pure target striker, IMO). If he goes 4-4-2, Dempsey seems the lock for one of the striker roles, so unless he envisioned Donovan and Dempsey as the two, its hard to see how Donovan makes teh starting lineup as a forward. Unless you consider the 4-2-3-1 more of a 4-3-3 and then you have three forwards, nominally.
I mean, I know Gonzales has been sketchy lately, but you're going to name a starting XI with only ten people to avoid him?
The Wondo vs Boyd thing will be an interesting decision, IMO. Wondo brings something different, Boyd is your best option to replicate the target striker in a 4-2-3-1 if Altidore gets hurt.
My hope is that Chandler plays well enough for it to be Parkhurst, Green, Chandler for the final 3. I think Chandler playing well is a significant upgrade (at least at fullback) over Evans.
I hope so. I like speed off the bench. We had nothing last WC aside whoever that terrible striker was.
Ugh. Robbie findley. Ugh.
