Deuce

He's shite.

Interesting read about Rio's past as a slave depot http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/09/world/americas/rios-race-to-future-intersects-slave-past.html?_r=0

Hamid is a good young keeper, but he relies on his athleticism far too much. Doesn't read the game well at all.

Lost my Kronberg clean sheet. Remick on the bench. Already failing miserably at MLS Fantasy.

Seattle teams traditionally have green/blue/bluish-green colors. Sounders, Mariners, Seahawks, Sonics, old NASL Sounders.

Bring on Okoli. Let's see what the kid's got.

PL is competitive for 5-6 clubs. Which I guess makes it more competitive than the Bundesliga, but still not really competitive overall.

Both teams need to slow things down a bit.

Seattle crowd was up and ready for this one.

Lively match so far. Early yellow for Collin.

One of the great things about MLS is that there are more than just a token handful of teams with a realistic chance of winning it all.

Converts the penalty, sent off just after. Just needed a penalty miss to make it a classic Jon Walters Treble.

I'd still like to see him take over some middling club and bring it to glory...

I might crack double dights today.

For inspiration:

Season starts today. Kicks off with Seattle-SKC at 3 EST, should be a good match.

It's a comment on his character, as Poyet said. The problem is that he's never been one to let things slide off his back. As evidenced by his incessant need to engage Twitter trolls.

Potential U.S. away kit leaked. To channel the Chileans apparently. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r4DziCiIknI/UxoILb-8E5I/AAAAAAAAWko/gLldvnehcic/s650/USA+2014+World+Cup+Away+Kit.jpg

IIRC Colorado has traditionally rejected shirt sponsors and Houston recently started doing the same. I have a hard time believing San Jose couldn't find a sponsor in the Bay Area. Chivas is almost certainly a case of not being able to find one, this is a lost season for them. Or maybe it's because they're league-owned and operated now and can't have sponsors or something.

American sports leagues traditionally contract with a single company to design the uniforms for all the teams. Nike does all the NFL uniforms, for example.

All 19 MLS home kits for this season. 4 clubs going sponsorless, at least for the time-being. Hopefully more teams follow suit in the future.

It's the Wonga of MLS.

I wish Oviedo hadn't gotten injured. He was looking like a smart little player on that left side.

Sorry forgot all about Klinsmann. Should've mentioned him aswell. I'd in the face of anyone who seriously suggested him. He doing a bad job then? Not at all. He's a good fit and has us headed in the right direction. But he's no where near one of the best managers at the WC.
