It was on this day that his greatest enemy defeated, the true lord of darkness arose. His name? MARIO.
Nice breezy summer evening here in Toyota Park where the Fire will take on the other team named after a disaster the San Jose earthquakes.

The fire recently beat the crew in us open play this week and will take on 2nd division side fort Lauderdale strikers in the quarter final of the only thing worth playing for the men in red.

I haven't been paying attention to San Jose but I think I read they have some guys out so maybe the Fire could ride the momentum from the open cup win and get three points in league play.

Oh yeah we have a new guy coming in but he won't be here until the next game and we finally got rid of one other guy which means we got some space to get a new DP which might be Torres or one of the main Polish guys from the Euros whose name is a long name that I am too lazy to copy and paste into this post. Also we are on top of the allocation table so the League will have to make a new rule to try to mess with us once again.

Hey it worked as the Fire wins 1-0 and has back to back wins which is a really rare thing these days. Also they replace the free milk with free ice coffee.

So tonight the Seattle "noted garbagemen" Sounders and Toronto "all their good players are hurt" FC are playing a game.

If you predicted 0 shots on target for either team at the half, you win a cookie.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
An hour later and I STILL don't know what Brad Knighton was thinking tackling Piatti in the box like that. He's lucky to have only gotten a yellow for it (well the yellow and also conceding the game-winning penalty, details details).

Hopefully he works it out so he gets sold to someone who will use him. Otherwise he's riding the bench.

It was nice of him to get suspended before the Seattle match so he doesn't kill anybody on my team.

Based on how far from the ball he looked in that view, I'd be surprised if he was back after just the Seattle game. I wonder if Portland will do anything retaliatory against him the next time they play.

There were rumors he was being sold to an Israeli club, but that's not going to happen now. According to the rumors.

Yup. Ugly game that the Rapids probably should have done better in but Portland probably should have won as they looked more dangerous. Kinda surprised Watts wasn't called for a penalty at...whenever that was when he and Adi tangled in the box. A point is a point I guess, but it means the Rapids have slipped from their 2 points per game. Disappointing.

I unironically hope LA is forced to use one of their DP slots on De Jong next season because this will force them to have another bad European on their roster preventing them from signing someone actually good.

They'll just get an extra DP added to the rules.

Except he hasn't been a bad European signing. As a matter of fact, most of our European signings tend to pan out.

IIRC, he only has to miss five more games to avoid that clause of his deal, and at this rate he will probably rack up enough suspensions to manage that on his own without any Galaxy-Brand Shenanigans.

(I have nothing much else to say about that game: sky blue, water wet, 2+2=4, Galaxy actually pretty good when they want to be, Vancouver can't finish.)

This also helps Seattle so I am fine benefiting from LA twisting the rules. Although we whiffed on Valdez this last season (that still hurts)

De Jong isn't a DP right now so you can't gauge him on whether he would be worth the slot. Right now in games he doesn't seem any better than other much cheaper midfielders in the MLS and age plus stupid suspensions will mean he will miss plenty of games.

Oh, we're only talking about European DPs? David Beckham helped us win two Cups and two Shields while Robbie Keane will go down as one of the best players ever in MLS. I don't imagine Nigel will be able to replicate their successes, but he's still been a great addition to the team.

I'm not denying LA has made great DP signings... I just don't really think DeJong would be one of them.

Hey Vancouver fans! I'll be invading your fair city with all of two other Rapids fans for the July 9 game. If anyone wants to get together to exchange beers and disrespect colors let me know. If anyone who has been to Vancouver for a game has suggestions for a good place to get a pre-game beer let me know.
