Just another jackass on the Internet


Yep, long season is long. July saw very few games because of that thing down in Brazil, but there was still some moving and shaking going on in the league. We had 2 rounds of Open Cup games, which some teams took more seriously than others. We had DPs coming and going, some to teams that don't even exist yet! A bunch of guys took a vacation to Brazil for some reason (although some of them got injured on the way there...sorry RSL), but they should be coming back soon, so maybe our teams will suck less (although mine hasn't had a problem :smugbird:)

We've got 2 games tonight, 5 games on the 4th of July (:911:) and 3 on Saturday. Fun fact: the 3 Saturday games feature the 3 Canadian teams. The hosts being Toronto (vs. DC), Vancouver (vs. Seattle)...and Chivas (vs. Montreal). Not sure if the league is trying to say that Chivas isn't a part of America, but one things for certain: I'm sure as poo poo not going to watch that game. Woof.

I feel a little stupid asking since I thought I understood tables, but why is Chicago Fire #10 on the table if they have the better goal difference over Montreal?

Don't feel bad. Those were not the tiebreakers last year and they probably won't be the same next year. This poo poo changes a lot.

This match is taking an awfully long time to get started.

EDIT: Does this feed look like poo poo for everyone, or is it just Comcast being terrible?

TSN feed looks fine.

And that probably should've been a PK for Chicago.

First time watching a MLS match live; is it possible to swtich to the other sides feed? For example, this game started off on Toronto announcers; can you get Chicago announcers?

Unfortunately no, MLS Live only gives you one feed. That would be nice, but hey, $60.

I had to leave the game early because of a family problem. Do the Fire still look as terrible as they did in the first half?

Also, I don't know if you can tell on tv, but the weather is atrocious out there.

I watch Palmer play and I can't think of how the Timbers were that bad. Then I realize how bad we were and sign a big sign of relief. Then I realize we are just as bad now and we don't have the excuse of having Palmer on the roster. I feel bad.

Go Chivas!

I agree with this.

But additionally, I'd like to know how it feels as a Seattle fan to watch Mauro do so well for Chivas day in and day out? I know he was injury plagued at Seattle, but he seems to have got better. He is playing really well with Torres even when the team loses. I kinda hope the timbers pick up Torres when chivas falls apart.
