MLS - 2012 Season

[SoCalJoe]

Much needed trade for Agudelo, kid needs to play. Noticed in the article that there were offers from "foreign clubs" turned down, which I'm glad to see.

Didn't see it (maybe DallasBill can elaborate), but disappointing that Brek Shea got suspended for 3 games for kicking a ball at an assistant referee.

DC!!! Moving on up! Albeit it was a win against Toronto. But the team is in second...for now.

Pappa does the double to FCD

Understand, we are a pathetic team right now desperately looking for something to turn a season around. I usually watch games at my own peril with some anti-depressants and a pepto chaser. That said, this was one of those where you continue to watch the television after the game is over and pithy commentary is still in your ears while your trying to figure out how in the world instant replay could be possible in the MLS.

I'll try to be brief; Pappa (ChiFire) takes a long fifty fifty ball down with his left tricep, relocates the ball just in time for two of our team full of boneheads (aka FC Dallas) takes him down in the box. HANDBALL!! No we're not lucky enough for that. Not this year. So it's off to the spot we go with a lot of bewildered blue hoops looking on. The same guys who watch as Grazzini (Fire) steps up and plunks a real Judy so close to Hartman that he almost dives past it before deflecting it. The same guys who look on as Pappa steps in almost 4 steps inside the 18 before Grazzini strikes and then cooly taps the rebound past Hartman for what would go on to be the game winning goal. Are you kidding me? He's takin a piss, right? Tell me he saw that? What was the AR looking at? It's not like they were looking through traffic and didn't see it.

One of you long time soccer (football) people please tell me that that's somebody's job on penalties. Just to watch the line to make sure no one crosses. I've seen Rooney and others be a step inside and everyone goes balistic and the referees just missed it. But I'm saying a step and a half and Pappa could have taken the penalty himself. That's how far inside the 18 he was.

ABSOLUTELY TAKING A PISS!!

Breathing...cushions back on the couch...forehead veins subsiding...temperature returning to normal..........


ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!

'Quakes come from 2 back to win 3-2 in L.A. Great match to watch - sending offs, cards, penalties, great goals...

Montreal Impact signed their first DP Marco Di Vaio. Looking forward to watching him in MLS. The guy has a deadly finish.

To DB's post about the Dallas-Chicago match... Went and saw the replay of the goal and not sure how than mano wasn't called.

DC has extended their lead in 1st!!! Didn't watch the game but from the match-highlights it looked like they flat-out stole the game in Chester, PA. Also, Adu had some excellent passes from the wings, may that continue for him and he gets another call in the national team camp. Perhaps for the August Mexico friendly?

I was there and you are right. Philly outplayed DC and had much more time in the box. DC was especially vulnerable to fast breaks down the right side. Adu looked good--he was in the middle of it all for them.

My daughter (4 years old) wished me a happy father's day this morning and then asked me if I would like to go on a date with her. She and I will be attending the next Crew home game. Very excited to take her to her first game.

Very cool. Say, you haven't heard anything yet about tix to the USMNT qualifier vs. Jamaica there on 9/11/21012, have you?

I actually inquired about those recently with the president of one of the Crew supporters groups. He said they weren't on sale yet, and that he wasn't sure when that would be or even how much. I can definitely get tickets at face for anyone who may be interested.

I will put something out when I get more information.

Not a good first game so far. Down 2-1 at home versus Toronto?!?

[JackCaz]

Make that 3-1...
