So this Dutch guy is signing fresh from a team in Thailand. I'm sure he'll be worth every penny. Seriously there have been guys who've washed out of the NASL and USL who end up there. Quality stuff from Chicago.

For how much actual support leagues in South East Asia get (butts in the seats) they are largely terrible to watch. :(

Sounders hunting for Boca Juniors playmaker Nicholas Lodeiro as a DP http://www.sounderatheart.com/sound...bly-to-sounders

This would be a great signing a 27 year old #10 would be great for the Sounders and could be a cornerstone to build on just have to dump Valdez.

this is hilariously wrong for D.C.

I mean this poo poo is probably hard to quantify, I live within walking distance of Huntington Metro and I've made it door to stadium in like 30 minutes before, and sometimes I've made it in like an hour and fifteen.

God help you if you ever need to take the Red Line, just RIPs

Yeah he's really wrong about LA. The Stub is 1 mile bus ride from the Blue Line that connects to all of MTA's other rail, including, as of today, the completed Expo line. So Santa Monica, North Hollywood, Pasadena, Long Beach and most everything in between can access the StubHub Center. All we really need is the Galaxy and MTA to provide shuttles for a couple hours before and after the games to the Artesia station.

That map is not wrong for Chicago/Bridgeview.

The El is generally good but it sucks taking the Orange Line to Midway and then getting on a slow-rear end PACE bus that only runs once an hour to the stadium.

En route to Yankee stadium for NYCFC vs NYRB, last year when I went it took an hour to get through security because they thought it was a soccer game and no one comes to see this poo poo so there were no where near enough scanners open. Curious to see if I make it in before the 27th minute this time.

What's it like watching dreams die

Did you find any Jersey turncoats crying as they realized they hosed up and chose the wrong side, knowing they'll never, ever live it down

Did you watch as people who felt like they HAD to get in fights because That's What You Do shove each other while hundreds tut-tutted and filmed it for Twitter

Did you feel all the revulsion from Pirlo and Villa as they realized they could have had it easy in LA instead

Did you laugh since despite losing by a football score at a baseball stadium, the biggest boos of all were for Frank Lampard

Did you enjoy yourself

Because I did
