2011 Expansion Teams

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:37:18 GMT

Who do you think will be the two teams in 2011?

I think Vancouver is certain to be one since they interviewed Steve Nash in a Whitecaps kit. Will the other be Portland or Montreal? Or somewhere else?

OMG! Yanks!

Ever wanted a place where you could talk about the MLS with other fans? Ever wanted to fangirl over a USMNT player but didn't want people to think you weren't serious about the game? Ever wanted to have intelligent discussion over MLS and USMNT matches, news, rosters, formations, and hairstyles? Then omg_yanks is the place for you! Your one-stop destination for everything MLS and USMNT, including live reactions, picspams, news, match reports, flailing, and general discussion on MLS teams and US Men's (and occasionally Women's) National Teams.

The Clean Sheet

Thu, 22 May 2008 17:49:00 GMT

Does anyone know if MLSnet.com stopped carrying Tino Palace's "The Clean Sheet"? I looked forward to that every week and I've not seen it since the season started! I sent an email to tcsresponses@yahoo.com but didn't get a reply.

Does anyone here have MLSlive.tv? Are the streams decent?

For those who don't know him, Gordon Bradley is a Sunderland (UK) native who came to the United States and both played in and coached in the North American Soccer League, afterwards coaching the US Mens' National Team briefly (on one occasion before he was even a US citizen), and going on to coach the George Mason University mens' soccer team for 16 years. He's been a colour commentator at times for DC United. He became a US citizen in 1974. In 1996, he was inducted into the US Soccer Hall of Fame. He's a man of charm, wit, and considerable experience and insight into the game of football.

I'm sad to say that I learned recently that he's been suffering from Alzheimer's and has recently gone into hospice care after developing complications of that disease. He's a bit younger than my dad would have been were he still alive, but I can't help but think of what Dad's illness was like for us and what Mr Bradley's family, friends, and former students and teammates must be feeling now.

Over the years, his observations of the game have made me laugh and made me think. He's a man I greatly admire for his knowledge of the sport, his geniality, his even temper (as evidenced by some of the anecdotes in this piece in today's Post), and his hard work. I'll be making a contribution to the Alzheimer's Association and the Capital Hospice (both linked to in this post from the DC United blog, and I've sent my best wishes and sympathies to his family.

i wanted to bring this up and hear what people think: give the new philly franchise a year to settle in and try and make a playoff spot just like everyone else has done in the past, but then:

starting in 2011, i propose these changes:

1. MLS, as our domestic league is titled, changes its name to the AMERICAN PREMIERSHIP or something similiar.. maybe NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERSHIP since TFC is with us now.. but essentially, i want to hear it called the premiership or something that really sets our league apart from the other US sports..

2. switch to a european table format. top team in the entire league wins the Premiership Cup.

3. mls cup now becomes another competition much like the carling cup is in england. just the top flight gets in and they duke it out through the year.

4. introduce goal line technology as well as two more refs on the sidelines

5. fade out the salary cap (which, if anything, will eventually happen)

6. C Ronaldo moves to chivas usa to play with Theo Walcott as we win the league for the third year in a row

what do you think?

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 08:50:43 GMT

im so there!!

24 days until opening kick!

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:43:08 GMT

How many of you will be attending your local team's opening match? I'm far away from my local (DC United) these days living on the west coast but I'll still be cheering for my boys in black. Looks like I'm going to have to get DirectKick again, though as quite a few DCU games won't be on ESPN according to the schedule.

Looking forward to having Seattle in '09!

U-Sector X-mass reel 2007

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 01:15:22 GMT

Okay, so I know I never really kept up this journal, but that's no reason to not share the awesomeness of the U-Sector X-mass reel. Enjoy!

Sat, 17 Nov 2007 18:40:29 GMT

Predictions?

Im going to go ahead and say New England 2-1.

Mostly because there is something in New Englands water right now that just makes every team from their win.

I live in the Los Angeles area and get Fox sports network but they are not showing the game tonight. I am pretty pissed off. It is just so sad that its the final playoff game before the cup and its not even getting on tv. What is wrong with people? This is ridiculous. Im furious.

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 02:46:18 GMT

Thoughts on the match?
Dangerous play on the bicycle?
Blanco getting too old?

Good Lord!!

Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:59:49 GMT

Another one bites the dust...

As a die-hard Red Bulls/Metros fan, this frustrates me to no end! What is it going to take to get a coach to stick with NY???

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 04:37:03 GMT

So i know it was said about the dc vs chi game but seriously the ref tonight for the chivas game was terrible.

Am i wrong?

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 02:48:50 GMT

Predictions for this chivas game?

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 02:20:44 GMT

Christ, the Bulls sucked worse than DC.

DC fought for it, I'll give them that - their downfall is that they are DC, though.

The Bulls just flat lined. I'm actually embarrassed for them.

The end...now for NE to choke in another cup final. How will they do it this time? Discuss!

DC United went to Rome to see the pope...

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 03:24:38 GMT

Hey uhh . . .sorry to umm, disturb anyone but uhh...any DC fans selling their MLS Cup tickets?

Anyone? . . . Anyone? . . . Bueller? . . . . .No? . . .Too soon? . . . Ahh, kay...*slinks out*

MLS Talking Points:

Jair Marrufo: Finally a ref worse than Abby?

Bigger sham: La Manga, Atlantic, or MLS Cup? Leading opinion at press time: MLS Cup

Supporters' Shield: The measure of a true champion everywhere in the world but America - Is the Bush Administration to blame?

Cuahtemoc Blanco: Spends more time on his back than paraplegic whore?

Discuss if you will... or let us just bicker amongst ourselves whichever is fine with me.
