That might have been the most boring game in the nine year history of the Philadelphia Union, so glad I spent those two hours in 45 degree temps with no sun to speak of.
TFC gets jerked off to no end by the press for CCL. They can deal with it.I help with MLS Power Rankings on mls subreddit; Toronto FC fans not gonna be happy with my ranking this week. They've already been mad about TFC not getting their due respect for being in the Champsions League and being last years champs and ignoring this season's record so far.
Kinda surprised by the late scratch of Kei Kamara

Interesting move for Atlanta to switch in McCann for Garza due to the height difference between the two to combat Vancouver's size
I thought no one had a more homeristic commentary team than the Revs, and then I started watching this Atlanta game...
GG
After the switch to RB I feel like people forgot that Zusi can kick balls at goals real good. So much space and no one closing him down.
I was thinking of going to the US-Paraguay friendly, since the stadium is only a few miles from my house, but I looked up ticket prices and the cheapest tickets are around 80 bucks. That seems insane to me. Are friendlies usually that expensive?
I have no idea what he was trying to pull there. Bizarre. The Quakes need to get their defense sorted out.
Tickets for USMNT friendlies have been rising over the years, and that doesn't sound too out of line with what I've seen lately. It's a shame, particularly for a game like this with a young roster and an opponent who's not a huge draw.I was thinking of going to the US-Paraguay friendly, since the stadium is only a few miles from my house, but I looked up ticket prices and the cheapest tickets are around 80 bucks.

Maybe I can just go by for a training session, since they are supposedly training at WakeMed Soccer Park all week, are those usually open to the public?

I dunno, he still tried to elbow the guy. Does it matter if he made contact or not?
He also makes a ton more money than most players, especially compared to most dmids, if he made his salary as a striker nobody would bat an eye.
Lol I'd say MB is underrated if anything. His national team baggage carries over to club team as far as perception.
Nagbe appears to be a controversial figure after making a record move from Portland to Atlanta in December. He was named most underrated by 5 percent of those polled while also appearing on the most-overrated list.
(Montreal is hidden behind Atlanta because their numbers are the same.)

"Whoever is coaching New England -- doesn't matter which coach it is."
"I always think New England is tough because the crowds are pretty small, and the field's not great, and it's just a weird vibe going into that game."
