Well today sucked. Drop 4 points behind Chelsea. Liverpool will move into a tie with GD. City will pass Arsenal too w the game in hand, and just like that they will be back in 4th.

 

Really hope Jozy gets the start tomorrow and they can pull the upset.

Today was great--besides Chelsea (who, let's be honest, is going to win the league).

Bradley, Ream and Mix out for the game on Wednesday.

 

Bradley with a knock, Ream withdrew because he just had a son, and Mix because his club is claiming a fake injury that Mix himself is calling BS on.

 

Clint probably played the best game of the entire loan today. He really should have scored early.

[shnsajax]

Jozy doesn't even make the bench today for the Cup final. What's going on with that?

Hate the crest.

[USSoccer]

Why did we have to go back to the clipart crest? The Centennial one was perfect.

[ConstableRabbit]

Ugly, boring golf shirt.

[wolf stansson]

It'll look ok with blue shorts. I just wish it had the Centennial Crest.

Apparently the kit has white shorts that have a red stripe down the side.

[shnsajax]

Fitting since the crest looks like we sponser a bunch of kids leagues.

Stuart Holden injured his knee in practice. That's gotta be the last straw. What a tragic career.

Latest tweet from Bolton was that he was able to run off on his own in the tunnel. Holding out hope, he deserves so much better.

[USSoccer]

He was able to jog off the field right after his last knee rupture; I don't know that that's indicative of anything.

So the Ukraine game is cancelled, in what has to be the least shocking thing ever.

[shnsajax]

Well that really sucks, needed to get a look at some of these guys. Guessing a random scrimmage will take places now against some club B team somewhere probably in Germany.

[wolf stansson]

Game is back on.

[shnsajax]

Montenegro beat Ghana today 1-0. No idea what type of team with squad fielded. But like seeing Ghana lose regardless.

[wolf stansson]

I'm glad the Ukrainians are going to win. I'm worried that Clint and others looked like dog [expletive], but really, other than Clint and Jones, none of the suck was from WC starters.

[shnsajax]

I'm glad Castillo won't sniff the field in the WC now. God help us if he does.

[shnsajax]

I hate Neymar a little bit less today.

Arsenal really needed this today. I really hope they don't draw City in the semis.

[USSoccer]

MLS Opening Day. Awesome.

 

Maybe the terrible Fire won't be as terrible this season. I like Joya and Shipp a lot; hopefully Yallop plays the kids instead of the usual "only 2 skill guys allowed on the field at once" thing.

HAPPY MLS DAY

 

Seattle v KC on nbc sports after this lame EPL match.

 

Also, Aron Johansson is apparently putting on a show today. Two goals at the half. Drew a red, couple near assists etc.

[wolf stansson]

God I love MLS. I don't know when that happened, but it did. I think it started when I went to a sounders game.
