I have a good feeling about you Brisbane lads, as long as you keep Matt McKay off the ball and Donachie tied to a post somewhere far away from the field I think you'll somehow grind a win. Henrique killing it atm.

This is actually looking like a good match so far, just need to hope that Phoenix don't collapse into playing Merrickball and bore City to death.

That free kick attempt was laughable.

I was just in the middle of making bitey and insightful commentary about the inability of the Nix to score and somehow they stumbled arse forwards straight into a goal. Just shows what can happen if the defenders work together with the strikers on the opposite team

Since this is the first game I am fully able to watch fully alert in awhile am guessing Wellington getting goals isn't a common thing? Also that was one hell of a miss which was luckily redeemed with the goal.

I think I actually drank my way through the other side this weekend and became sober again - I was pretty well behaved but my mates were loving rambunctious and thats good enough. If you were in the south end I probably yelled at you to skull your drink, we got the whole end playing buffalo towards the end.

Wellington are bizarre, they had a couple games in a row last season where they won 5-0 a couple times on the trot only to immediately lose by the same margin or something like that. In the offseason they've sold or retired their most useful players (Huysegems and Hernandez imo) whereas City/Heart have been useless forever. I make a point to watch Nix games soley because you never know if they're going to be at their retarded worst or their spastic best. They also have the only commentators less informative than the man who said this last week:

“Just admit it: you love vineyards, don’t you? Don’t you? You love rainbows and ponds and things like that… the morning mist!”
Ned Zelic's bizarre reaction to commentary partner Brenton Speed saying “lovely looking night” during Melbourne City-Sydney FC.

That kinda sounds like what my Fire been going thru expect replace the winning with draws and getting enough to breaking the MLS season record which they use to share with New York Red Bulls by getting 18 draws 6 wins and 8 loses. They are currently in the process of getting rid of all their useful players right now and hopefully might spent money on getting a real DP player which you guys call Marquee player but I doubt it since our owner is very cheap man who don't cares about the team and lives in LA and never go to any of games.

That sounds amazing and hearing it in a aussie accent would sound more amazing, too bad we get the Fox Sports feed here.

EDIT:Also while I was putting that post up there was another goal, I wonder if the New York City FC will be as bad as their Melbourne counterparts.

EDIT2: Another goal.

At what point do you think JVS looks at the millstone around his neck and just says 2000 million or whatever a year just isn't worth it. They might as well just send out the youth squad because the seniors are clearly not up to scratch in any area of the park. Maybe Mooy, but I don't know if that's diamond-in-the-rough or just everyone else being horrendous

He was definitely a least slightly pissed on air, if not still half cut from lunchtime.

I try and follow the MLS when I can but it's only accessible via streams over here as far as I know, but the best one-to-one connection would be Chivas USA and Melbourne City. Except hopefully city might one day maybe improve slightly now that they've entered their youth team in the State League to get senior football all year round. At the very least they can't get much worse than they are now.

You should try to follow the MLS for it's faults is still a great league and starts and ends around you guys start and finish up since we both like to play in our summers. Also some sad news to report, Chivas USA is dead now and going to be replace by a new 2nd LA team in 3-4 years. In the meantime I guess if you want a new MLS team to bandwagon/support I guess NYFC since they are also own by Man City.

Oh no, no no nono. No sir. Not NYCFC. I'm a Victory man, I watch City here only because having poo poo teams in the league is good for no one.

Oh, well there is a Detroit team but they are like in the 4th division or something. So I guess you could do what I do and support the whole league. There also going to be a Orlando team next year that got "promoted" from the 3rd division but just watch the whole league until you find a team that strikes your fancy.
