I was cracking up when Donovan was trying to kick a corner and the crowd was piling streamers on him and all over the corner of the field, making him have to stop and clean it up.

My daughter and I are guilty of taking part in this at Dynamo games. The opposing goalies don't like streamers too much, especially when they just miss them or the get their feet tangled. It's so fun sitting at that end of the stadium.

SFL Cat · 08-05-2007, 10:34 PM

Wow...MLS is still around?! David Beckham is playing in America??? Go figure...

MJ4H · 08-06-2007, 02:27 PM

Yes. Doing pretty well, too.

cthomer5000 · 08-06-2007, 06:54 PM

Sarcasm detector broken?

MJ4H · 08-06-2007, 07:54 PM

Probably.

SirFozzie · 08-23-2007, 09:56 PM

Well, that was interesting, someone tried to put Beckham into the hospital with a challenge in the Superclassico, and the resulting scrum saw a headbutt, and two red cards.

Think the 2nd half's gonna be a mite bit heated?

cthomer5000 · 08-23-2007, 10:39 PM

It was a pretty awful foul, and if you saw the full run-up, Beckham had kind of shoved that guy out of the way before the foul so he was clearly retaliating with his ridiculous "challenge" on Beckham to being things.

Can't go too wrong with seeing this level of intensity in games in MLS though.

Chief Rum · 08-23-2007, 10:55 PM

Too bad the Galaxy can't convert that intensity into execution on the field.

I like at that lineup and I think that's a pretty solid team there. And yet they have been playing like crap all year, despite the talent. I don't get it.

SirFozzie · 11-08-2007, 09:06 PM

3 month later bump..

A first half Taylor Twellman bicycle kick holds up and gives the Revs a 1-0 win and their 4th trip to MLS Cup in six years.

And hopefully the Dynamo will take care of business against KC so they can defeat the Revs in the MLS Cup for the second straight year.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 05:01 PM

Dola- Forgot, I meant to post this...

Quote:

Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber will be in Seattle on Tuesday, to announce that city will receive an expansion franchise to begin play potentially in the 2009 season.
The Seattle team will be owned by Hollywood movie studio executive Joe Roth, Seattle Sounders managing partner Adrian Hanauer and Vulcan Sports and Entertainment, the owner of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks.

Details on the team will be unveiled at a Tuesday press conference in Seattle.

Seattle has a storied soccer tradition as it was home to the Seattle Sounders of the North American Soccer League from 1974 until 1983. The city is currently home to the Seattle Sounders of the USL First Division. The Sounders have been crowned champions of the USL First Division two of the past three years including 2007, and have produced MLS players such as Houston's Brian Ching and Chivas USA's Maykel Galindo.

Seattle will be the 15th team in Major League Soccer, after the addition of the San Jose Earthquakes, which will begin play in 2008, the league's 13th season.

MLS plans to expand to 16 teams by 2010 and could feature as many as 18 clubs by 2012. Expansion conversations continue with more than a dozen communities throughout the United States and Canada. Commissioner Garber will discuss each market at his year-end state of the league address on November 16 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 05:50 PM

Double, delayed dola-

I am freakin' out man. I am in Houston right now, the game is just under 2 hours away. I am sitting here tonight and want so badly to go to the game. The problem is, even though the wife so go ahead, there is no way I could spend the money right now. I just threw away $195 last night when I got a ticket for expired inspection sticker on my trailer while going through a weigh station. There is no way I can turn around and spend money on a cab ride to the game, a ticket, and a cab ride back to my truck.

I will sit and wear my Dynamo hat in my truck, and hopefully the game comes in on the radio for me. I am not sure how this trucks radio picks up AM, I have never listened to regular radio in here but usually trucks suck with AM radio. I think they have a FM station, but I think that may be spanish. Going to have to check.

SFL Cat · 11-10-2007, 07:29 PM

What does MLS stand for again?

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 07:36 PM

Multiple Listing Service, a service for realtors to see what houses are up for sale in their area. Or Major League Soccer.

Pretty much a sell-out in Houston for tonight. Will be a record crowd for the Dynamo, breaking their 35,000+ from the game against L.A. a few weeks ago. I have the game on crappy static A.M. radio with some guy with an accent. Woohoo! Starting any minute now.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 07:40 PM

M Brian Mullan is hurt pretty bad 3 minutes in. Finally walked off, not sure if he is back in or not.

edit: phew, back in a minute later.

sterlingice · 11-10-2007, 07:46 PM

Is there any site where you can watch MLS games like on Yahoo or ESPN? The Yahoo interface seems to be lacking

SI

SirFozzie · 11-10-2007, 07:47 PM

There's probably a P2P link for it, but the MLSNET.Com video service won't be working, since it's a national (FSC) game

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:06 PM

Four guys in the box and nobody could get a shot off, damn.

(that sounds like a failed porn scene)

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:08 PM

Crap. Now that I said the above, the whole game sounds like a porn play by play. Soccer isn't meant for the radio me thinks.

SirFozzie · 11-10-2007, 08:11 PM

Jacqua off a corner kick, 1-0 Dynamo.. Houston are the much better team so far.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:11 PM

Jaqua GOAL!!

KC is the #8 seed, the Dynamo better be better. Fuck I wish I was there. I can see the confetti and the streamers in my mind!!

SirFozzie · 11-10-2007, 08:13 PM

you should see the Dynamo supporters group bouncing behind the net. Serious pogoing.

SirFozzie · 11-10-2007, 08:18 PM

OW. that looked like a huge forearm/elbow shot.

I can imagine. The Texian Army sit back there, though usually farther up right above the walkway. The 15 rows or so right behind the net are usually normal fans (where I usually sit when I go) with a few Texian Army mixed in.

KC player hurt bad from what I am hearing. Not something I would wish on any team.

sterlingice · 11-10-2007, 08:22 PM

Dang, I wish I could find a website to watch it on. I'm curious how the Wizards are doing but I'm watching the KU game on tv so I need something visual, not audio.

SI

SirFozzie · 11-10-2007, 08:23 PM

Sterling: Check your PM's. I sent you something..

DeRosario goal disallowed for offsides.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:23 PM

CRAP!! Offside on the goal!!!

I'm with you on that one, the radio blows for this. As with football tomorrow though, I take what I can get for live anything when it comes to my favorite teams.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:33 PM

A little over 30,000 fans? Blah, the radio guys made it sound much higher at the begining of the game.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:42 PM

Just saw the Jaqua goal on the halftime highlights now that I gots me some something to look at. Nice header man. The offside call on DeRosario was close IMO.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:46 PM

LOL! And the KC goal is on the side of the Texian Army this half! I love it. Poor visiting goalies just don't like the streamers.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:54 PM

Can't believe Mullan wasn't called on that tackle.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 08:57 PM

Crap, Onstad was way there heck out there and almost paid for it.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 09:08 PM

That's not good, Ching went down on his own and that just can't be good.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 09:12 PM

Ching felt his calf pop? Awww crap man.

SirFozzie · 11-10-2007, 09:18 PM

and that should be the game.

This time around, the Revs are going to melt the creamsicles, since you guys don't have the psuedo-home field. you're in OUR territory now, boyos!

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 09:19 PM

WOOOOHOOOOO!!! I love DeRosario!!!!!!!! Bring it on New England!

D.C. isn't as close as Dallas, that's for sure. And Ching being in or out could be a big factor now.

"uh, I've been better."

Says he thinks he strained his calf. I hope it isn't worse then that.

No problem, works for me. And this year no shootout, goal in the last 15 wins it for Houston.

Cringer · 11-10-2007, 09:48 PM

Also, I will be on the road still then too, but will do all I can to hear/see the game. If not though don't think I am hiding away.

I was still listening to the radio at that point, so I can't comment. I do know in the second half that there were a couple of missed calls going both ways.
