-kj Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 http://www.usopencup.com/ reports the score of both games as 2-1.Final is on September 2, 7:30pm Eastern at RFK Stadium in DC. The game will be broadcast on Fox Soccer Channel.I'm awfully surprised that no one's said anything about the Beckham vs LA Riot Squad shenanigans. I think I have to side with LARS on this one (except for the guy who jumped out of the stands, that was kinda dumb, even if Beckham taunted him by telling him to "come down here").

Lee. Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 IMNSFHO, if he's invited onto the field, then he can't be arrested for trespassing.Not that this has anything to do with the MLS, but is Beckham a Scientologist yet? Or is he holding on to Anglican status? Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is he holding on to Anglican status?Ya know who is the bigger out of all of this, that would be Landon Donovan (surprised?). I don't want to fathom what he had to do to get back on Beckham's "good" side again even after his comments in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I think United's gonna be the first team to repeat in the MLS-era of the Open. Should be a great game though, from the highlights of their initial regular season game, they really tore it up. Can't wait to see it.And yeah, Beckham DEFINITELY :censored:ed up by trying to go over to the Riot Squad like that. He should've known damn well that of all the fans in that stadium that are crazy enough to do what that one fan did, it'd be those guys in section 138. Him going over to the corner was basically asking for it on Becks' part. The best way to get those guys back on his side would've been to just give great effort and let his play on the field do the talking. He would've done that, but he basically antagonized LARS and, IMO, got what was coming to him. I think it'll be alright though. If the Galaxy keep on playing solid football like they are right now, there should be much less of a negative tone by the time that they return to the HDC in mid-August. Half because from what I've read, some of the fans won't be as negative during a game that actually counts, and half because the Galaxy may be at the top of the West by then. Either way, I think this situation will blow over as long as Beckham continues to play hard, give max effort for the Galaxy and doesn't try to flirt with Milan via the media. Btw, I just got back from the Club America-AC Milan game. Even though it was just a preseason game, it was GREAT. Pretty awesome. Definitely a top-5 sporting event in my life for me.

-kj Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 The question of the moment: Is Seattle a pretty decent expansion team, or is RBNY just that damned bad?I'm going to go out on a limb already and say NY is going to finish in the cellar. There is no way they do anything with that defense.I can't see Seattle finishing above second last. Sure it was a great display, but their defence is bad, I mean worse than Toronto bad.Well, after watching Seattle v Chicago and Colorado v New York, it seemed like a good time to revisit these quotes.Seems like Seattle is a pretty decent team, not just a decent expansion team. 7-4-8 and second in the West (behind Houston) isn't too shabby at all.As for New York... they're just that bad. Another dismantling, 4-0 at the hands of the Rapids. Saturn was dead on. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I went to the Seattle/Chicago game yesterday. It was my first MLS experience, we had awesome seats (middle of the field, three rows up) and the pace of play is so much different at the game versus on TV. I'd happily go again.I don't know how to judge who is good and who is bad, but MLS needs to crack down on diving. This guy Blanco (who I guess is a big deal?) would fall on the ground grabbing his knees every time he was touched. It got to be comical after a while, but he kept on getting calls from the refs. Seeing it so many times makes the sport seems more like little league than big leagues.But, certainly if MLS can continue Seattle-like success, I'd be happy to go to more games both here and in other arenas. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Single Table StandingsPositioning for the post-season will become a lot more clearer heading into August and September. As of now, nine clubs are within six points of each other, with Toronto currently the odd-man out for the playoffs. While looking at the standings, it's obvious which clubs should be in the "future is now" mode or just blow up the entire roster and start over. We're currently witnessing the worst club ever in New York, and on the positive side, a also a very good expansion club in Seattle. Anything is possible in the second half, but is this the year the Galaxy win the championship ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Don't understand soccer, don't particularly care for it for a variety of reasons, but I've attended several live games, and watch it when it's on, in hopes that I learn something that makes me enjoy it more. I want to like it, I just don't get it.Anyway, caught some of the Seattle / Chicago game on Saturday. Seattle is officially my favorite soccer team in the entire world now. Those uniforms are absolutely fantastic, and the way they dress up the stadium for the game is awesome. Loved the video board thingies near the field level. The whole thing looked so cool, I kind of wish I was able to go to something like that.

But, from what I've heard he's a total jerkass and likes to play dirty. I don't know if that has changed over the years, but that's what I know about him.

Breakwood Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 MLS is set to make an announcement today. No one knows what it's gonna be, but speculation is saying either; single table next season, Montreal expansion or a new CBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
