2011 MLS Season Thread

My new favorite goal celebration.

[HailtotheYo]

That was freaking sweet. And HOLY FUCKING HELL Sutton is terrible. Holy shit, I honestly could have done that. Jesus.

Sutton might have locked up "Douche" and "LOL" of the year in MLS already.

[GoGo Yubari]

Sutton was so bad, it was crazy. Is he always that off or was he thrown off by the Seattle crowd or had a bad day or what?

[HailtotheYo]

He's actually has a couple of fantastic games this season. I just think the 2nd goal really shook him and he just didn't recover. He's actually no that bad.

[Meacon Keaton]

That was something you would see on the xbox, not in a professional league. Some turrible awareness.

[Meacon Keaton]

So Philly scores, USA score maybe three minutes later. USA scores for a second time, and Philly scores five minutes later. What a great night this is so far.

[HailtotheYo]

LOL DeRo

DeRo traded to DC for Dax McCarty.

What this tells me, is that NYRB said "LOL, no" to his DP demands for next year and RB will cleared the space to bring in someone this summer.

DC lucked into a good player who should be motivated as all fuck at this point, and gets him at a bargain as (LOL) Toronto is still picking up part of the tab.

In US Open Cup news, Columbus Crew are I believe the first MLS side entered to fall, as they were beaten by the Richmond Kickers 2-1. Seattle's playing another Washington State team in the Kitsap Pumas in twelve minutes and I'm looking forward to watching it on a stream.

[HailtotheYo]

HA ! CLB you suck. Fielding a reserve team be damned. You guys aren't even playing D2 clubs this year (the NASL didn't sanction in time to be included).

Rooooony led NYRB past FCNY. Roony, an MLS legend in the making

...Kitsup? ...Katsup?

[GoGo Yubari]

Okay, that got a laugh out of me. I watched the game until it was 2-0 Sounders because the stream was really choppy and I got annoyed; Kitsap actually played really well, considering, and had a strong contingent of supporters. Honestly, we should be looking at a couple of their players as possibilities for our reserve team, particularly the GK considering that our backup GK isn't so great.

[HailtotheYo]

Well this is what I get for LOLing the fuck out of Toronto:

Frings and Koevermens ... that's a win.

GoGo, Kitsap actually has some talent. They've got a guy that is a Bahamanian NT player, Besagno is a former Superdraft #1 pick, and their GK is your very own 29th pick in the 2011 SuperDraft.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, I knew most of that aside from the bit on Besagno. Hepple was quite good in the early goings.

[Clawson]

Wait...we can get good players?

[Guest mr. potato head]

Yeah, but then they mysteriously get less good and it turns out they were overhyped. See: every other Toronto sports team except the Rock.

[Guest mr. potato head]

So apparently the answer to 'Who is TSN's #2 MLS colour commentator?" is...Taylor Twellman.

Still holding out hope Vic Rauter calls the late game

[Guest mr. potato head]

...Arlo White?

TSN loves them some English voices apparently.

[Meacon Keaton]

Taylor Twellman does the Union games too.

[Guest mr. potato head]

I'm only mentioning the commentators because, as always, they're infinitely more interesting than TFC's performance

[Meacon Keaton]

lol canadian teams
