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.

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.
TFC gets jerked off to no end by the press for CCL. They can deal with it.
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
Kamara left last week's game at Houston early with a groin problem, so I think the Caps are just taking precautions there. Especially because he's 33
I thought no one had a more homeristic commentary team than the Revs, and then I started watching this Atlanta game...
Some Canadian soccer news:
apparently Stephanie Labbe is joining the Calgary Foothills FC, which is a semi-professional men's club in the PDL. Reportedly she was unable to get a job in the NWSL after splitting up with the Washington Spirit. Would definitely be cool if she can have success playing against men. Wishing her the best!

That red was the right call tho
Everything else? Ughughughughuguh.
It should be 3 - 0. Miggy needs to stop dwelling on mistakes - you can see it rattle his confidence. He did the samething against Houston. Nagbe and Gressel being on it, while the 10 is rattled is so aggravating to watch.

You should have heard last year when we had Alan Green. He would openly insult the opposing fans! So glad he's gone.
GG, it was a feisty one.

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?
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?

Yes, the US Soccer business model has moved away from big NFL stadiums and into smaller MLS venues and charging out the ass for tickets. They realized they made a whole lot more money that way. I'm not even looking at prices for the Bolivia game.
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.
They usually run one open training session, but I haven't seen details for this week. Sometimes they're restricted to US Soccer members.
The roster, btw:

I dunno, he still tried to elbow the guy. Does it matter if he made contact or not?

Looks like he is just trying to shake the guy off
Edit: Let's say that the defender wasn't grabbing Deuce all over and Deuce was actually trying to elbow him. Going to ground like he just got shot should get a card too.
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.
