Do you know if anybody is coming down for the match on Sunday? I'm looking at the forecast and insane spike in numbers and am pretty sure I'll be skipping both Sunday's match, and then the double header in Seattle as well.

Apparently there's still some travelling contingent, as the local ECS chapter is hosting a pre-func. I'm certainly not going to judge anyone for not travelling to matches at this point in time because *gestures outside*

I'm not going to either of those matches, but that's more to do with the fact that I live on the other side of the country now.

Meh.

Granted they've had excellent support for their NHL team but maybe my reaction is a leftover from me growing up at the tail end of Las Vegas still being a "THERE BE DRAGONS NEVER NEVER SET FOOT" sports market because of legalized gambling.

They'd probably have 8:00 PM or maybe even 9:00 PM local kickoffs for every home game during the summer, if they play somewhere other than the NFL stadium.

Vegas seems like a good place for a team but it's gotta be at allegiant (or I guess another indoor stadium In theory). Beats Sacramento

Phoenix should probably be on the list also

As soon as Vegas got the Golden Knights, Phoenix lost all its luster as the place to put sports teams in the desert.

so apparently orlando rejected crystal palace's offer for dike? i get that they don't have any obligation to sell, but it seems odd to set a price, have the price met, reject the offer anyway, and then not give an extension/raise to the player in question. seems like a good way to get a reputation of being difficult to deal with.

also $20,000,000 seems like an insane price but hell i don't know what anyone costs anymore

This result is 100% the fault of the guy that thought a custom Timbers kit that was number 7 with "TD MAN U" as the player name was a good idea after a loving friendly. Since then we keep losing in increasingy more horrible ways (also Ivacic was not good).


We laid a dear friend to rest tonight and he would have wholeheartedly emraced how bad all of that was. He would have been chirping at Merritt on twitter, but he would have also been laughing with us at the sheer absurdity of it all.

the timbers beat themselves mentally from the jump and Seattle was able to capitalize on it.

…and I will admit that they capitalized on it with a couple of absolute ROCKETS, like, drat.

Timbers are definitely running into the issue of “Chara and Valeri are getting older and won’t always be available to clean up every mess so the team as a whole needs to not depend on them constantly”, the issue of “the medical staff won’t keep a player benched so he’ll just keep re-injuring himself” and the third issue of “apparently defense isn’t important”.

I’m not gonna hoot and holler about Gio needing to be fired, but drat if there ain’t a lot to work on.

"Touchdown", 7 points in American Football (well a TD is actually 6 points then you can try a kick for 1 more point or run another play for 2, but generally speaking a TD results in 7 points).

Hi gang, big mls Eddie Lewis, Mike Grella, Robbie Rogers and I think one other guy maybe fan here to say I don't post in or read the MLS threads largely because I refuse to pay for the channels that show it and I'm asleep when its on. Just checking in to say that I'm the new mod and if anyone itt or any of the other MLS threads start being naughty let me know and I'll have a quiet word. I might not be in these threads regularly but you're all good lads and lasses and you should keep up the good work and post in other threads if you don't already, we're all one footballing family. ok bye
