Anonymous player survey. Most overrated player - Mix Diskerud. Who crosses the line the most - Alonso #1 Felipe #2.


This is awesome

Vindication! I've been whining about Alonso getting away with so much poo poo for so long. Personally, I feel the guy does enough underhanded poo poo to average about 2 yellows a game. It's nice to know the players feel the same.

Didn't England get special dispensation for an extra day of the January transfer window because of 'hardship' when they got 1" of snow?

edit: Yep!

quote:

It is also possible that leagues may extend the transfer deadline, either on a league-wide basis or for a specific club, based on certain extenuating circumstances. In 2009, for example, the Premier League gave Arsenal an extra 24 hours to wrap up a transfer for Andrey Arshavin after snow over the United Kingdom on deadline day disrupted negotiations.

I'm not crazy, right? The 4 minute extended highlights on the league's site really did vanish? I went to look for them for today's earlier games but there were only the 2 minute videos up and all the extended ones from last weekend that I definitely did previously watch were nowhere to be found.

They're certainly loving gone from MLSLive. I'm pretty pissed about it. I really don't want to watch condensed matches all the time. The 4 minute highlights were perfect.

Minnesota United are becoming real boys. One of their SGs is feuding with the league because they couldn't put their logo on a joint SG banner. The logo? A loon with a Soviet hammer and they are a 'Marxist' SG. They can't understand why MLS might be slightly against such an innocent logo. They're calling ticket reps and threatening to cancel season tickets.

They're all grown up.

Welp. Here comes the annual call-up bug. Between injuries and call-ups the Sounders are left with one (1) forward on the roster, international superstar Seki Akedoya(!?). They will be playing at Columbus, who just lost to Toronto 5-0.

MLS can be crazy so I will be happy to be wrong, but I get the sense this game will have all the goal scoring action of that Huddersfield/Reading playoff. Perhaps I will spend Wednesday evening watching paint dry instead.

At least we were already missing Lleget, J³, and Rogers. Now we get to lose Dos Santos as well. I don't think I could be happier that Gyasi has been sucking lately.


Also, this is officially a winning streak according to the rules laid down by the greatest manager of all time:

Lou Brown: OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!

I also like to feel that this is what our team is currently thinking now that J³ is gone and we can totally play the game we need to:

Lou Brown: [Lou's talk to the team before the opening day game] All right people, we got 10 minutes 'till game time, let's all gather 'round. I'm not much for giving inspirational addresses, but I'd just like to point out that every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. The local press seems to think that we'd save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves. Me, I'm for wasting sportswriters' time. So I figured we ought to hang around for a while and see if we can give 'em all a nice big shitburger to eat!

I mean, Deshorn Brown was one of the Rapkids in 2013 and was runner-up for rookie of the year, right behind teammate Dillon Powers and has the third fastest goal in MLS history. Not that it means Brown will make DC a top-flight team, but he's not that bad.
