thoughts about the final

Well I guess I don’t have a lot of thought about the actual game play itself, it was a pretty good game and my future news was wrong, as usual.
I can’t beleive ABC just doesn’t seem to get it.  Every fuckin sunday every channel (it seems) has pre-football shows on all morning, probably even channels [...]

New playoff system

With the new playoff system I mentioned earlier today, this years playoffs would have looked like this:
East:
1. DC United
2. New England Revolution
West:
1. FC Dallas
2. Houston Dynamo
Wild Cards:
Chicago Fire
Chivas USA

Dynamo 3 Rapids 1

NE Revolution vs Houston Dynamo for the MLS Cup, just as my prediction was.  Finally I get a couple of games right.

Taylor Twellman seals the game early

Taylor Twellman scored right at the beginning of the eastern conference final vs DC United, and thats all the Revolution needed to put them into the MLS Cup.  Overall the 2nd half was not too exciting.  It looked like there would sure be more goals scored both ways at time, but overall the 2nd half [...]

Several players suspend or fined after matches last weekend

I really wish I could have watched the Dallas/Colorado game from this past weekend when the Rapids dumped FC Dallas out of the playoffs to see what waranted a six game suspension for FC Dallas goalkeeper Dario Sala.  Six game suspension seems pretty harsh. I don’t remember there ever being a suspension longer (or even [...]
