I posted my food for USPOL Thanksgiving!


Sunday's Timbers/Sounders has been rescheduled from 1:00 to 7:30pm due to forecast hot as balls temps (99° according to my weather app).

I for one am very happy about this. My section would be in direct sunlight for the entire time we're in there. It's loving miserable.

Herediano's Elias Aguilar is trialling for Philadelphia. He's a creative midfielder who is sometimes great but mostly lazy and soft and divey. He will definitely make Union fans dooping frustrated if they sign him.

I just found out something even worse than the Sounders-Timbers game getting pushed back several hours:

ESPN Press Release posted:

Supporters Cam

Additionally, ESPN cameras will be positioned in the supporters sections at Providence Park throughout the game, streaming live on ESPN3 and the ESPN App to capture the atmosphere.

I give it about 2 minutes before both feeds become blurrier than a Japanese-produced bukkake involving Bigfoot.

Also, what the hell was the MUFC Timbers game? Two red cards?

The one time I went to a Fire game I took the pub to pitch bus from Fado, which is pretty close to the Mag Mile. It's a boring chain, but they'd probably have MLS on without you having to ask? Maybe?

I'm going to laugh if this is the universe that the Colorado finally gets rid of Pablo and somehow acquire Ben Olson and the only thing that improves is DC, because that's the only thing I can think of that can make the Rapids even worse.

Can I interest you in a slightly used, thrice fired former USMNT player for a coach? Because I'm sure one could be made available to you.

As long as he comes super cheap. Kronke is one of the cheapest bastards in sports and won't brook having to actually pay for competency, let alone quality.

I don't see the Revs being able to suit up 18 men on Sunday. We've already got 6 spots completely unfilled (for ~reasons~, since the league pays for Supplemental/Reserve spots and they don't count against the cap) and out of the remaining 24:

- Rowe, Agudelo, Koffie on International (supposedly we keep Watson for Sunday, I'm marking it a "maybe")
- Kouassi Out, Delamea and Daigo "questionable" (all but confirmed out)
- Diego Suspended https://www.mlssoccer.com/mls-disciplinary-summary/week17/diego-fagundez

Which leaves either 16 or 17 players, assuming Cropper, Knighton, and Turner all suit up. Wright looked solid on Wednesday (and plays in a role where we'll have Kei, Femi, etc. ahead of him on the depth chart) and Herivaux looked like poo poo (in a role where we'll absolutely need him, at least as a sub). Feeling a loss here, but at least it's not against a critical conference opponent also pushing to get back in the playoff hunt.

Hmm, mid-season signing just south of 30 signed using TAM that fills a glaring hole in our defense?

Front office needs to go with him. We placed Robbie Rogers on the season ending injury list two months ago and no sign of a real replacement for him, on top of all the other weird signings and decisions.
