The best part about the Chivas rebrand will be that they hopefully won't be faux-Mexican anymore and will actually bother getting an English TV deal so they don't have to put every goddamn game on Unimas.

Should have said 'Unimas and Univision'. Between the two, a large chunk of Chivas games aren't watchable on Live.

If watching that game made you think we are going to have a bad season I don't even know what to say

The U had an opportunity to claim a huge road win, at Portland, for three points. Instead, they give up a bullshit soft stoppage time goal. Just like last year.

If the Union managed to hold on against Dallas and RSL, they would have had 4 more points last year. I wonder how many points they missed the playoffs by...

The fact they have Portland a pretty good game is cool and all, but we see the U just give up at the 90th minute multiple times a season and it has burned them over and over and over.

There is a huge difference between those two games last year and the game last night. The play was so far beyond what we were capable of last season.

I also don't really understand how giving up late goals can be considered a trait that we have now or had last season. The three plays we are talking about here are really different from each other and were individual mistakes made by three different guys

We should have won yesterday. And dropping road points at the last minute is going to suck every time. Defending set pieces is something the Union haven't been able to do for years now. And its still annoying as hell that goals like yesterday's still happen.

i agree with most of this but i just can't see it as part of some larger problem that has been going on for years. the goal yesterday happened because of a quick corner and a horribly mishit clearance.

It fosters hatred and a hunger to destroy others. Which is why I picked it. We have 52 teams now which boggles my mind. An effort post will come tomorrow when I'm at work on a real computer recapping the weekend.

Going to have to agree with this. Carroll shanked that ball so bad :( and while really really lovely to drop 2 points that way Portland is a very very good team and the Union played some of the best combinations I think they have ever played. A massive lapse in concentration led to that goal, but on the balance it was a great game that either team could have won and the draw is a fair result. Really looking forward to NE now thinking that if the forwards click we could easily put up 3.

You'll be blacked out, and there are no feed options on MLS Live. You only ever get the home broadcast team, except for some teams (like DC at the moment) who don't have a broadcast deal and just show an away broadcast.

Speaking of which, that entire sequence was the result of Carroll hoofing the ball instead of playing the short pass. What a killer mistake from the Captain. Carroll has no place on this team and something has to be done about that.

But nothing will :(

I could live with that! I am in QA; expertly gaming the system is what I do.

I shall continue to experts game the system for the duration of the season. Time to make lists of everyone who will be out for World Cup duty - in case one of my players becomes healed.

ps go Uruguay

pps This Fantasy League is also what I needed, after tolerating the offseason. It allows me to combine some of my favorite things: trying to manipulate the system to my own ends, violating our subcultural and social norms in bizarre ways (why yes, I'm in an Anthropology class!), and turning what is normally a staid and serious pastime into something that approaches Fluxus pop surrealistic silly performance art. Oh, and soccer.
