THIS

...is SO much better! Thank you thank you thank you. It doesn't suck, its actually pretty sharp looking (in my opinion as a professional graphic artist), and is a great step away from the "league for children" look from the 90's.

SORRY ABOUT THAT PEP...

...not really. Shut up you sore loser!


Look, we all know that one of your players makes more than probably any single TEAM in MLS. Yes they're good players (and good sports unlike you), and valuable. But, tackles happen in soccer. Except for Olanzo's clear and reckless foul, you really have nothing to complain about.

Oh, except you didn't get to rout us like you thought you were going to. You went into the game thinking you would win 5-0, and instead you got beat by two very nice goals. For this you want revenge...honestly I hope they don't take you up on that offer, as we all know a 5-0 beating would probably be a good day for MLS if your team is out for blood!

All in all, a completely meaningless match, but oh so entertaining. Glad I watched it.

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM

I was posting a long winded comment on an article about Sepp Blatter almost DEMANDING that MLS move to the European schedule. Yeah Sepp, shut up man, seriously. How about your turn those beady eyes of yours on the stadium construction going on in Qatar?

Playing soccer on our currently used schedule is the only way that MLS going to work for this country for the foreseeable future, because of our weather, not to mention the competition from our other sports. So give it up Sepp. Please retire.

Does this cause complications with FIFA's carefully laid out schedule? Unfortunately, undeniably, yes.

However, it also provides several OPPORTUNITIES: The ability to grow without being overshadowed by both forms of American Football, etc. Playing friendlies against European clubs on their summer tours. And, as the quality of our league improves year to year -and the more exposure it receives courtesy of our partnerships with "big" European clubs- MLS will slowly become something ingrained on the minds of our friends on the other continents. Although I'm not sure how wide spread our leagues games are shown internationally, the fact that soccer mad fans have NOTHING else to watch but MLS could over time create an interesting phenomenon...The Amero-snob!

It would be great if MLS could somehow promote itself in England, Germany, Argentina, Colombia etc...I know, I know...first America, then the world!

I for one welcome our Amero-snob brothers from Englagermafrance! Our Columbus fans from Colombia! New England fans from Old England! FC Dallas fans from Dallas, Scotland. Even DC United fans from all those other Uniteds scattered throughout the world!

Thanks for reading.
