December 8, 20205 yr Seattle has a chance to establish the third MLS dynasty (2016-2020) after DC United (96-99) and LA Galaxy (2009-2014).
December 8, 20205 yr And that's fair. But we also have the fucking Mariners and a bunch of Okies stole our NBA team, so we'll take what we can get.Seahawks haven’t exactly been bad.

December 13, 20205 yr MLS Cup on right now. Columbus Crew, the team that was almost stolen from the fans of Columbus, is down a couple of starters due to COVID. It’s halftime. Fuck Seattle!

December 13, 20205 yr Just now, Napoleon said: That hardly set them apart from most people, even UT alums. Valid point.
December 13, 20205 yr Mensa(h) just completely ghosted Don Garber on the congratulatory handshake as Mensa(h) grabbed the trophy and took it back to the team to raise it above their heads. It sure would be nice to have a Mensa(h) who knew how to win championships at UT.
December 13, 20205 yr I live in Ohio. We haven't heard 1 thing about the Crew until they reached the Cup finals. Now that they won you would think the Browns won the Super Bowl (yes I'm a Browns fan no need to laugh)

An ex-girlfriend who does not follow sports and was traveling from Columbus to Costa Rica yesterday responded to my message about the Crew by writing: ”People in Columbus are crazy about the crew” The wife of a friend who grew up in Shaker Heights and who lives in the Cleveland area with their three kids responded to my message below.

Shit I even bought a new jersey Columbus people may be crazy about the Crew, which is cool, but we never hear anything up here in Cleveland about them unitl now.
December 14, 20205 yr The Crew doesn't attract much support from outside Columbus beyond soccer diehards from the region who had no other MLS options for decades until FC Cincy. They have a strong and relatively large hardcore support but have struggled (like much of MLS) to sustain the casuals needed for a small market to consistently draw near capacity crowds. The new ownership and club leadership (combining Caleb Porter with the Toronto FC management was a masterstroke) have positioned the Crew as well as possible for the move into the new stadium which is a massive upgrade over Crew Stadium in every respect (decaying and ignored erector set adjacent to the ghetto -> state of the art downtown stadium adjacent to entertainment districts). No one would have believed in October 2017 that the Crew would be moving into a new stadium (in the exact location Crew diehards wanted) in 2021 as MLS champions.
December 16, 20205 yr Watching Montreal vs CD Olympia (Honduras) shows just how far we have left to go as a league.
December 17, 20205 yr Nice win for LAFC over Cruz Azul. America looked pretty weak today too so I would think a Tigres/LAFC final looks like a decent bet. Tigres looked pretty freaking good last night. Thry have to feel pretty good about finally winning an international title.
December 20, 20205 yr The LAFC/Club America game was wild last. Herrera got kicked out as manager and ended up being in the stands with a walkie talkie. Of course Concacaf can't do shit and just allows it. Luckily LAFC pulled it out 3-1 in a wild match that looked more like an opera than a soccer game. LAFC has beaten Leon, Cruz Azul, and Club America this go around of the CCL and now plays a Tigres team that's playing well. It should be a fun Tuesday night.

Crazy stuff. I hate that fat fuck America coach and his little bitch goalie (Ochoa). What happened before the half was ridiculous. Did you hear the announcers say that Herrera has gotten 40 red cards as a manager? F that guy.

My wife (Mexican) said she never lost respect for anyone as quickly as she did for crying Ochoa last night. And for the love of God can we get VAR in the knockout stages?
December 22, 20205 yr Author FC Dallas making some decent moves for once also. 2 signings and Juan Dinenno from Pumas is who I am waiting for to be really excited. It was supposed to be good to go cause Pumas is hurting financially but it got held up. Hopefully soon
December 23, 20205 yr no MLS team has ever won this. it would be cool if LAFC did and then played in the Club World Cup.
January 7, 20214 yr Columbus signed Kevin Molino (13 goals for Minnesota last season). They will remain in the top tier of teams.
February 7, 20214 yr I'm not sure how NYCFC & NYRB are exchanging players and/or sending groups over to Europe to train, but FC Dallas has a massive advantage over every other team in the MLS as long as they keep sending these groups and top players keep getting purchased by top leagues throughout Europe.
March 22, 20214 yr Author Copa Tejas is a go. This is all SG driven. Austin SG threw a wrench in it by getting their front office involved(which was fucking stupid) but it got done. El Capitan is still Houston vs Dallas for those interested. Edited March 22, 20214 yr by Zepol87
April 7, 20214 yr Geez, Atlanta’s ... 3rd? 4th? keeper was huge tonight In the CCL. Novo had a ton of huge saves on the road to preserve a 0-1 road win.

They should do it like Brazil does and have a state tournament. Not just FC Dallas, Austin FC, & Houston 1836, but all of the USL teams as well.

April 8, 20214 yr The refs in the CCL really suck. They so easily lose control because they do nothing to control it during. and at the end of this game was a studs up tackle that only gets a yellow.

April 8, 20214 yr 11 minutes ago, Knoxtnhorn said: That was absolutely effing ridiculous. Typical CCL officiating on the road. I flipped on the game (Saprissa v Philadelphia) because, soccer. It wasn’t very good, but that ref was awful. Barely called anything, even though there were clear fouls that were missed - both ways. And fouls that were called were honestly card worthy. and then at the end there was a fight due to that hard tackle- he handed out 4 yellow cards. There were 6 cards in the entire game, the tackle got one too. But the first was 75’ in!!! i don’t know if I would just say typical on the road, the refs are just bad from Central America. They let too much physical play go. Edited April 8, 20214 yr by Captain Ron
April 8, 20214 yr I, too, turned it on at the very end. I'll watch any soccer game - especially when I kind of have a rooting interest. I've seen far too many games over the years in Central America where the refs are either incompetent, biased, or afraid to make a call in that atmosphere. (Granted, this one was in an empty stadium presumably.) Out of all the UT and Cowboy games in which I've thrown post-game fits, the angriest I've ever been watching a game was a US soccer game circa 1999 @ either Honduras or Guatemala. It was a qualifier. US was up a goal at the very end. Home team sends a long ball toward our goal in the waning seconds. Keeper catches it. Home player - literally - jumps in the air and cleats the goalie. Goalie falls down injured, ball rolls to the right of the goal. Defender gets it. Another guy comes flying in, cleats first, and maims the defender to win the ball. They get it and score. I absolutely lost it after that game. Now that I've rabbit-holed myself, I'm going to try and find evidence or video of that game.
April 8, 20214 yr Author Yea that the end game challenge was horseshit. Complete bullshit that was a yellow

Maybe try 2001, the World Cup was in 1998, so 1999 qualifiers don't make sense.
April 8, 20214 yr 9 minutes ago, Captain Ron said: Maybe try 2001, the World Cup was in 1998, so 1999 qualifiers don't make sense. Yeah. I started in '97. Working my way forward. I'm wondering if I'm cross referencing two games because I just saw where we lost to CR in 2000, in the 90-something min, on a shit PK call by the refs in Saprissa (ironic, isn't it?). Also ironic... the shit call was a hand ball on Beerholder. I just remember that we had two road games in a row in which something went really wrong at the end. After the second game, I ...uh... rearranged my bedroom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdZIUYGujJg Edited April 8, 20214 yr by Knoxtnhorn
