Re: MLS 2018
So he wasn't offside. He was behind the ball. What are YOU missing?
Say Messi's on a breakaway. Beats all defenders. But he's got Suarez a step behind him who has also beat the entire defense except the keeper. He can drop it off to Suarez if he wants without worrying about offsides.

My gall is sufficiently mitigated. Thank you for your concern.

i posted the offside rules from fifa..with no commentary.
and posted an opinion about a non-call in the first goal.

Re: MLS 2018
I misread the quotes in the forum. Thought you were the original one who thought it was offsides but that was Rex. My bad.

I'm still glad this happened because the "pretty big soccer guy" descriptor was funny.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: MLS 2018
yeah i'm still trying to figure that one out!
Re: MLS 2018
I know! I've only seen bobbyp mostly naked once, and he had just exited a not overly warm Pacific Ocean, but maybe AB shared a room with him that weekend and got a better view.

Re: MLS 2018
DC United going through an ownership change. Minority owner becoming lead owner by buying out the guy who owns a slice of Swansea and formerly Inter Milan (Erik Thohir). Also talk of getting two DPs with one being Balotelli.

Re: MLS 2018
I got selected from season ticket holders to help unfurl the giant flag across the field tomorrow before the game vs MinnU. Stoked that I don't have to stand in line 4 hours to get into the stadium.

Re: MLS 2018
Scheduling problems with Navy Lacrosse and other events (graduation, etc.). MLS not making a decision about the schedule until late put DC behind the 8-ball on options because venues were taken. But another reason is the playing surface is FieldTurf.Rex wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 6:27 pmThis Navy facility looks pretty nice--hell, it looks better than RFK.

Re: MLS 2018
Went to the Rapids/Toronto FC game on Saturday, my first MLS experience, had a lot of fun. The kids liked it more than the Avalanche game we went to. I think the lack of TV timeouts helped them hold their attention on the game. Plus they have both played and my youngest is really into soccer, so that helped.
Also didn't hurt that I somehow got invited to a VIP event to try to upsell me on season tickets/multi game packs. Free food and field level seats in the second half, right behind the Rapids' scoring zone. And my sales contact didn't make it back to us before the end of the game so I didn't have to listen to a sales pitch.
I think we'll try to catch another game this year, it's just too bad we can't regularly get their games on a streaming service so the kids would get more interested.

SBI reporting that there are serious talks between DC United and this guy. Report says 50% chance he comes to the DC this summer as he is not happy with Everton.

Re: MLS 2018
I was wondering when something like this was going to happen. Chicago 2 seems likely to swallow up Fire if the latter keep playing in Bridgeview.

Re: MLS 2018
United was chasing lots of others I would rather have had...but this dreadful team and are going to need some bang to not have the Audi field opening a dud.
Re: MLS 2018
How about a shiny new Sam Allardyce to go along with that?

Cincinnati awarded expansion for 2019. Bet the house that Porter will be the coach.

So excited. Starting a very early college look for Q over the summer (he's got two years left) and will show him Xavier and Earlham on the trip and am planning on an FC Cincinnati game for the trip (easy choice to do that instead of a Reds game...).
Best part is they get a jump on both Nashville and Miami who don't start MLS play until 2020.
Re: MLS 2018
Great news. The stadium site will make this a top-5 road trip from the moment it opens.

I think Cincinnati would be great for a weekend or a lifetime but not a month.

Re: MLS 2018
I’ve really liked weekend visits to Cincy. And I think it’s cooler than last I went now as well.
