"Setting records for futility" is still one thing we're doing properly at least

[Berober]

Let's go DC!

Chris Pontius with a B.E.A.Utiful strike

I knew they'd find themselves, but damn ..... they're playing well.

[Lineker]

Liverpool have announced they will kick off their 2012 tour of North America with a friendly match against MLS side Toronto FC on 21 July.

[Guest mr. potato head]

So that's a win for Liverpool's reserves' reserves then.

[Meacon Keaton]

After the way Liverpool is finishing out the season, I'm not as quick to say that.

[HailtotheYo]

Liverpool/Chelsea confirmed for the World Football Challenge, joining Seattle and Toronto. More teams to be announced.

[HailtotheYo]

TiTi out with a hammy injury ... but DCU appears to have it figured out

[GoGo Yubari]

That was awful to watch. Absolute class goal from Henry but now he's gone for about a month and NYRB is really in trouble. Cooper is going to have to step up big-time.

Thrilled at Sounders beating Chicago in Chicago, they're a good team. Not so thrilled at Segares being a prick and going after Mauro's ankle in his first game back, or the fact that now we have to play LA in three days' time.

And in the TFC misery tour update, they almost secured what would have been a very solid point in a draw with RSL, only to give up a goal in stoppage. Jesus, it's like all their allotted luck for the year went solely into beating LA in the CCL.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Didn't even realize they tied it back up, stopped paying attention after the own goal. >_<

[GoGo Yubari]

Papiss Cisse is going to win Goal of the Month this month and for damn good reason, but I have to post Fredy Montero's goal from Sounders wrecking a very weak LA Galaxy side tonight. Holy fucking shit, what a goal from our star performer.

Eddie Johnson getting his second goal in two games was quite nice too.

[Lineker]

What a goal! I actually prefer that to Cisse's, mainly because Cisse just said that he whacked it as he was too tired to run but that is just pure class.

[HailtotheYo]

LOL LA ... A depleted NYRB squad got a 1-0 win @ the HDC ... HA HA

SJ got their hot streak snapped with a 94th minute goal by Vancouver (Hassli !)

Freaking Montreal blanks white hot SKC 2-0 ... uh huh

DC sends TorLOLnto to 8 straight losses to open the season ...

... and it looks like Marco di Vaio is going to Montreal.

[Hobo]

Hassli!

It is like.....you speak the same language, but you use different words? Yanno? Yanno.

[Guest mr. potato head]

I'm still trying to figure out why New York Red Bulls were playing at the HaDron Collider. :/

[HailtotheYo]

Just .. no.

Rapids got bad news as Wynne and Cummings are both out for a month.

The Raul to Philly rumors are heating up.

[IAceI]

Somebody want to watch Montreal Impact v LA Galaxy with me? I'm only watching on mute and partly paying attention but still - someone watch it with me, I've not seen much MLS yet.

[GoGo Yubari]

Sorry, IAceI, didn't see the post.

Lots of rumors that Philly's trading Danny Califf to Chivas USA, though Chivas is denying that that's actually a thing. I'm starting to wonder who's going to get fired first between Aron Winter and Peter Nowak; Winter has the worst results but Nowak's doing the dumber shit.
