hanging with you was far more entertaining than watching the match from that awful little grassy hill. people kept falling over!

that was absolutely a correct call and was a red for sure. dunno how anyone can argue that. and CK, the coach who got the red had to go hang out by the bathrooms or something. it is a weird tiny shitshow of a venue. favorite part of the night was when the power went out while I was in the can and when I got outside the big screen was dead and all lights flickered. can't believe professionals play there.

Outside of the USOC, they don't. I've played games in that loving stadium, for god's sake, and I'm as far as you can get from a professional without actively spiking your own legs.

I still can't figure out why the Sounders don't play their Open Cup games at Memorial Stadium too.

Until recently the turf at Memorial Stadium was poo poo, and the rest of the building is closer to RFK than Jerry World, quality wise, as well.

drat, 4:30 on a Tuesday? That's right in the middle of my nap time. I don't know why I thought it was at like 5:30 or 6.

Thanks a lot, time zones
