So they've invented a trophy for DC-PHI since clearly the league would rather emphasize the NYisGAY rivalry over the first blood rivalry in league history

DC has graciously given us the choice of voting for the I 95 Cup, Colonial Cup and some other lame poo poo

We suggested the FO Trophy

This league consistently does the dumbest poo poo

As much as I hate everything about Philly I'd much rather the Red Bulls beat DC and New England every season.

Those are the teams I grew up hating. And LA obviously because gently caress them. Also Bruce Arena and Steve "loving" Sampson.

Rapids have somehow reached first in the Shield race, and only LA could pass us with their games in hand, but our place is completely safe this weekend. I'm rolling with it now.

All that stuff about a high-pressing, aggressive game, the Dick being a fortress, etc...it took three years, but it's coming true. I still think Pablo is our weakest link, but the rest of the chain is so strong it may not matter for awhile.

No, because the entire point of our dumb league's dumb rules is to make "doing a Leicester" merely improbable rather than a feat worthy of worldwide celebration.

Like, there's so many people who think an MLS Best XI beating some random team that's out of season means something, and all of them are either season ticket holders or management

I mean, it wasn't even the ASG that killed Pep, it was a random loss to Jersey in a meaningless friendly that started the chain reaction that led to the Leceister Supremacy

ASGs were probably cool and fun at one point in time, but they are all just giant stupid money grabs now. The MLB ASG is so boring and pointless now that we've got interleague play that they had to make it ~*~mEaN sOmEtHiNg~*~ and now the World Series is ruined, too. The NHL ASG this year was real tight cause the league got punked by John Scott, but I'm sure they learned the wrong lessons from that and will work hard to take all the fun out of future ASGs. At least the NBA ASG is kinda fun cause no one plays defense and it's just an extended dunk contest.

The MLS ASG is insane small time bullshit. "The best players in our league combined can barely beat a good Euro team in their offseason while they jog around the pitch!" gently caress you, get that poo poo outta here. How you gonna do everything else in this stupid league "The American Way" and then not do your ASG as East vs West? Stupid motherfuckers. I just realized how glad I am that the NASL hasn't tried an ASG yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we've got disinterested D2 players jogging around on a loving college lacrosse field versus, I dunno, Celtic? Who cares.

Yea, I'm mad about All Star Games.

Instead of ASG they should just do a series of FIFA/ProEvo style minigames with 1 player from each team. Let people bet on it. Id tune in.

The closest option was replacing the All-Star Game with something called the 'American Soccer Celebration', which is even lamer than it sounds (impressive, I know).

It's the same razzle-dazzle as the All-Star weekend, but with a regular season match at the end

The NBA does it just right: take a week off, have a bunch of fun poo poo in the host city, don't sell anyone on the game being anything other than a fun exhibition if you're in to watching that kind of thing, and effectively use it a mid-season break where execs can get together and talk trades as well since the movement deadline comes up 7-10 days afterward. And then donate some money to charity.

Baseball still acts like it matters because for the first 60 years of the game it actually did.

I think the NHL is on its fifth different ASG format.

The NFL: :laffo: they can't even do a week-long vacation in Honolulu for the players right because the game needs to "mean something"

Let me tell you about true luxury.

DC United just signed a dude who has a heart problem that can cause sudden death. MLS has been advised he shouldn't play by his former league's doctors and FIFA has tried to convince the player directly to retire.

Too much work, not enough computer.

Seriously though they did, in fact, sign a guy who stopped playing in Sweden because his heart is defective. It's actually kinda horrifying. Especially since, you know, Eddie Johnson was being paid not to die less than a year ago.

Like, I don't understand this team anymore. Olsen is still the all-heart/no-brains manager, RFK is still a great stadium to watch a game, and there's players like Acosta and Birnbaum who make you feel like the future can't be all bad. But past that, you've got blisteringly tone deaf stuff like promoting Star Wars Night instead of Jesus Christ it's Jersey Week, you've got meetings where the management only refers to people like you and I as "customers" (to the exclusion of nearly any other term, even one like, you know, "people"), and the belief that the stadium will end all their problems.

DC isn't going to win the league this year, and that's okay. They may not make the playoffs, and that's okay. Maybe they can win the cup, and that's alright too. But years ago, my mantra was gently caress You, I'm Having Fun. Nowadays, my fun comes from meeting people from the away support, since even my own friends are getting banned or losing faith or just not showing up anymore.

I'm gonna go to a PDL game tomorrow. Fredericksburg FC vs West Chester United. I just wanna chill out and enjoy the foot again. Maybe I need something other than this gay try-hard league full of dipshit executives and too-serious supporters to remember that I like watching some dudes kick a ball while a few people hang out and shout rude things.

I need something that isn't 2016 MLS to distract from work and real life.
