Zint pls stahp

Definitely the worst post I've ever read.

http://www.portlandtimbers.com/supporters/timber-joey Yeah, I lived a train hop away from the Bull Arena and for the life of me I couldn't get attached to that "team". They're just so awful from top to bottom. The MLS is getting better though. One of the weirdest things are the shitty salaries players get, as opposed to the monster packages they get over here, makes teams more relatable somehow. Outside of Chivas, NYRB is the worst. Nobody cares about it. It's what they get for putting the stadium in Harrison, NJ.

They do something quirky. I think the lumberjack guy revs-up and saws off a chunk after every goal. EDIT: yeah the goal scoring player receives the chunk he saws off.

At least we've qualified for the U-20 WC, hope to see a full-strength squad then. Still very impressed by Villarreal, and that kid Rodriguez looks sharp as well.

Portland has some of the most rabid fans in the league. Always an electric atmosphere at Jeld-Wen. That was a thrilling game. Kudos to Portland for coming back. Nagbe, Valeri, and Johnson are going to be devastating this year.

Watching the U-20 championship final against Mexico. 1-1 in extra time. This team plays a much prettier game than the senior side. EDIT: Mexico just scored. Fucking Mexico.

Such an awful club.

Not sure tbh. Olave's been one of the best CBs in the league the past few seasons and Espindola is a solid forward. RSL got about $500K in allocation money in return (which is a large sum for MLS) and I think they're trying to re-build and get younger.

Red Bulls laying it on thick now. Mikael Silvestre having a fucking awful game

Like that did ye? That's called heart.

I'd much rather have RVP on this team than Suarez. Not only for his footballing skill, but, despite them both being supreme cunts, RVP is the lesser of two evils.

"The James", home of Newcastle United.

MLS games are always a good time. Since the sport's not big yet, you won't see the "I'm here to socialize" dickheads (except at Galaxy games, same people who buy court-side seats at Lakers games). Lot of passion among the fanbase.

Chicago isn't a team to scoff-at. Galaxy look awfully good, despite not having Beckham or Donovan. Mike Magee man, stepping-up in a big way.

MLS can be frustrating to watch after you've just taken-in a PL match. Completely different style of play. And it's the first match of the season, so they all look like garbage.

Disagree. He's consistently scored at every place he's landed. I doubt he'll ever be a 25+ goal scorer for us, but he should be good for 15+ a year.

On paper, Toronto should be a massive club. Plenty of money, pretty strong support, great little stadium. Just oh so poorly managed from top to bottom since their inception. Stealing Kevin Payne from DCU was a coup. I'm a big fan of Ryan Nelsen too, I've got high hopes he'll be able to change their fortunes.

Meta.

Well put. Adebayor's been rather garbage this season and Giroud is a more complete player than Defoe.

With those stats it wouldn't matter if opposing defences all found him hilarious. Still a far cry from the 37 they had from RVP last season. They've done well to spread-out the goal-scoring this year, with Giroud, Podolski, Walcott and Cazorla all hitting double-digits. But while ManU has RVP, Rooney, Hernandez and City has Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko in addition to their attacking midfielders and wingers, Arsenal has Giroud up top and that's about it. Nobody said he was RVP. But the adoration certain players at this club without ever getting near to such impressive stats should remind folk to think twice. Such as...? Legitimate question. I don't think there are many here who wouldn't take Giroud in this side.

Of course, but it's pretty cut-n-dry that Giroud is not nearly as talented as Robin van Persie.

Arsenal gotta be in consideration now.
