Major League Soccer

Then Brad Senior has his farewell season at Houston before being ceremonially cast in bronze ("Tipping Over 25-Yard Bullard Thunderbolt") and launched into space so that the Martians may gaze in wonder...

Both Brads are members of the "not good enough to sign for Celtic" club (think Jr was a work permit issue, but Sr was knocked back in favour of, er, Gordon Marshall - we had Shay Given on trial at the same time, and sent him packing as well).

I would just like to point out that I was (mostly) otm in this other thread:

Columbus ends up winning it all in the final against Laurel's RBNY. Personally, I think the best thing about MLS cup this year is this picture of Alexi Lalas.

Hel-LOOOOOO, Seattle!

See you in March, ya bastards.

Jergins, that means you. Are you going to go out for the Sounders?

The main reason I'll watch a sport on TV is to see the best in the world do what they do. Hence, NBA fan, not NCAA bball. I'd watch Euro leagues stuff but fuck a "major league" soccer.

Hey thanks for that insightful commentary!

Clearly a team player at heart.

"a sport" = the red red litmus of "no sport in soul"

you're welcome, dan m.

i only watch all-star games

I only watch games if there's beer-drinking involved somehow.

Cuauhtemoc was MVP of the MLS all-star game.

I only watch games if there's beerBudweiser-drinking involved somehow.

fixed?

The main reason I'll listen to a music on my iTunes shuffle is to hear the best of the best do what they do. Hence, dubstep fan, but not freak-folk. I'd listen to Euro house stuff but fuck an "acid rave" reunion.

rong bord

yeah, i'm even thinking about getting season tickets for the sounders. excit3ed!!

I only watch Spain and Barcelona on TV!

Depending on the schedule, I will probably be in Seattle for Fire/Sounders.

The main reason I'll eat food is to taste the best flavors in the world. If my reservations at Babbo fall through, fuck cooking a noodle.

It's a hungry life sometimes, but my greatness purifies my soul.

wow you guys are so owning me. i can't even hold that opinion anymore. great parallels being drawn here. A++ work, pats on backs all around.

*eat A food, please.

y'all love iranian league baseball too, dontchya

No, rly, thank YOU for enlivening the post-5 o'clock slump. Perfectly timed, I was in danger of falling asleep at my desk.

above all we love sanctimonious pronouncements on which sport one deigns to watch

granny u in dainger of sounding like a granny!!

yes i was totally sanctimonious. great reading.

Mmmmm, Budweiser.

just think one day soon you may be able to have it all, granny dainger:

i only watch curvy Colombian players

guys there's some 8yr olds playing at the local indoor arena. should i save you seats?

bad compariso. i'd way rather watch that than mls on tv.

Those 8-yr-olds are the future of American soccer, plus totally adorable. Would spectate again.

USA u-20 women are in the semis of their world cup.

They beat the hell out of England the other night, I watched it on Galavision.

I like watching MLS in person. I don't like drinking Budweiser in person. Has to be over the phone.

i only watch curvly Colombian players

Sigi Piggy is just following the $. Oh and I guess his brother lives in Seattle. Media accounts I have read say that the Seattle ownership are top class, however.

BTW jergins, I don't know how closely you follow the league but Seattle took Fire mid Stephen "The Author" King in the expansion draft -- a good choice.

Finally, front/back of the New England hate scarf I got at tonight's S8 board meeting: "ANTI-REVS"/"PAUL REVERE WAS A SNITCH".

rumors of damarcus beasley returning to the fire oh please please please please PLEASE be true

it's not a draft it's a SUPERDRAFT

OHOHOHOHOHO ZING FROM ALEXI LALAS

"Eddie Vedder has a better chance of making an impact in Seattle than Freddie Ljungberg"

no matter how hard they try this will just never be like the drafts in the other sports
