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.

You and literally everyone else who watches MLS, congratulations.

If he thought he put his best 11 out to start why would he think his subs would be any better? His backup keeper made zero saves and conceded a goal.

IIRC he became real full of himself once his blog got real popular and he can be kind of a dick in person depending on the mood he's in, from what I've been told.

He's a fat gently caress neckbeard with a terrible blog that his just him linking to articles written by people who may actually be writers and his Twitter is just him retweeting other people's actual information. Probably supports Arsenal too.

Oh poo poo, he's the perfect MLS fan.

In related news, Atlanta United have now made yelling "Hey Ya" during goal kicks an "official chant" to try and counter the puto chants. Well done :thumbsup:

I hope that whenever they yell "Hey Ya" the away supporters yell back "Fags"

Edit: Atlanta has been really fun to watch so far. They may pull a 1998 Chicago Fire this season, coincidentally after today.

Who would even suggest he would play as a number 10? He's been a holding midfielder for a decade.

I guess he's probably talented enough that he could saunter around like Riquelme in the middle of the park and dictate play in MLS.

So Tim Howard has been suspended for the next three games for "inappropriate fan interaction" on Sunday at KC.

So if a fan yells at you and you tell him to gently caress off you get suspended. Does the fan also get a stadium ban?

I'm glad Timmy said something if only because the best the KC fans could come up with is "Go back to Colorado."

No poo poo rear end in a top hat, it's an away game. I'm sure that the players are thrilled to be in Kansas loving City. If they could just teleport away from flyover hell ten seconds after the final whistle they would.

My point was that being an original franchise most of our supporters came to watch soccer when it was extremely unpopular because they liked it. The newer franchises seem to attract a the type of fans that want to go to games to bang a drum for 90 minutes with their back to the pitch and get attention. As for a "poo poo product" in a "poo poo location" you can make fun of the redbulls all you want but that's just a completely absurd statement. We have crap branding and marketing but to tell me that watching a winning/exciting team play in one of the nicest soccer specific stadiums in the country is poo poo then I want to know what poo poo means to you. As for the location it's easily accessible by rail for like 15 million people and a walk away from very nice restaurants and bars.

Not surprising a PNW fan felt the need to get upset when someone poked at the soccer hispterism that plagues a lot of MLS.
