    but Vancouver has looked really good to start the second half

    Nagbe with his best game of the year by far

    Just need for Melano to start putting some fucking balls in the back of the net and we'd be looking good. If our defense would be decent.

    Kah with a strong game for Vancover.

    Miss hit a simple pass then gave up a PK then fell and gave up a goal then committed handball for another PK.

    Melano is fucking amazing. He will make this magical run and give 2 of the best passers in the league (Valeri and Nagbe) these great looks. They lay it right on his foot and his first touch is either as heavy as the Big Show or he shoots is someplace over the net.

    Kah was not good, but I get a little bit : ( whenever I see him struggle, one of the best professional athletes I've been around. Class act and one of the hardest working guys off the field when it comes to community events.

    But he did have a terrible game, and that's giving him too much credit.

    Viernes de futbol will be a late kickoff due to "weather" concerns. Match will start at 930 eastern 830 central instead of the scheduled 700pm eastern 600pm central.

    Not to mention they had a pk while up 2 and Villa basically missed the ground with his plant foot and kicked the ball into the stands while falling.

    Drogba didn't want to sign with us so Gilberto was the consolation prize.

    Believe we traded the rights to Drogba for Gilberto and a pile of cash.

    Timbers got their first clean-sheet of the season last night (and the goalie for 1/2 the year, Jake Gleeson. leads MLS in save % so that just goes to show how shitty our backliine has been at times) and were down a man for the entire 2nd half.

    The goal was scored by a center back.

    The only part that was normal was Diego Valeri providing the assist.

    Go figure.

    I did see that, good looking gear that doesn't look overly 'sportsy' which I kind of like. Planning on getting 1 of the shirts.

    How hard is it to get tickets? Sell out a lot right?

    Buddy and I were talking about wanting to check out FC Cincinnati and Indy 11.

    Crystal Palace plays at FCC next month but that wouldn't be the same atmosphere. Still pretty cool an EPL club/FA Cup finalist is playing at a USL team

    Our supporters section does but the stadium doesn't. No point going if you don't sit with us though.

    It's a damn party in supporters though. I'd never go to an NFL or NBA game ever again before giving up the Eleven

    If we can win the spring title next week it'll be lit

    I have absolutely no idea but his wiki page says he's been with them since last year with 8 appearances so that seems correct

    I just knew he was on their roster. I'd be slightly more interested if he were going to be playing

    I never read this thread, but can someone explain to me why Kei Kamara hasn't played more games for his country? Surely the best goal scorer in the MLS is good enough to break Sierra Leone's squad. SugarShaun
