Oh, I remember that well. We were sad and worried, then went home and made a thrilling comeback in the return leg to win the series 3-2.

Metro's never had our number in the playoffs. On the other hand, they have had our number during this past regular season. Gonna be an interesting pair of games.

Sorry, I was only at the home leg so whatever else happened lalalalalalalalala

I'm probably just being naive, but this news feels different, with leaked renderings, a credible site, and comments by the mayor. I've sat and watched all the talk of Revere and Somerville evaporate, and that just made me believe that the team had to be looking for a piece of land in the city. Looks like I was right about that.

The Frontage Road site is kind of oddly-situated (I think it's closest to Andrew Square on the T?) but it sits right next to the route 93 corridor into Boston. Just getting the stadium in a location where tens of thousands would see it every day would be pretty cool. And while it'd be a slightly longer haul than Assembly Square, Hoover and I could still ride our bikes over to this site on matchdays.

It's actually easier to get to jersey than it is to get to foxboro so this makes sense.

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
I live 20 mins from Red Bull arena and have never seen Red Bulls apparel on a single person in my life. Hell, I can't remember the last time I saw a hat or something in a store.

The LA/SEA game is up against Seattle/Arizona (which is a huge huge game) as well as the Chargers and the Niners. The only way they could have planned this worse is if Oakland was playing too.

Combined with the two week break to completely lose the casual fan's interest, these playoffs could have even worse ratings than last year. And that's even with four really fun teams playing.

I can't stress enough how great it is that we don't have a single poo poo boring team in this.

Red Bulls are a poo poo brand and logo. MetroStars was way cooler in all ways. I saw Big Tony and them lose an entertaining match at Arrowhead in '95 to whoever KC was called then too. I think the skill level nearly 20 years ago was pretty much equivalently the same as now, if that makes sense.

by 'equivalently' I mean that the rate of improvement is roughly the same as elsewhere, so the skill level is still as poo poo compared to other leagues as it was 20 years ago. Rather than the expected exponential leap in talent... Not worse poo poo, nor better.
