cubaricho Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Nice. It's that kind of stuff that can only help MLS grow. Definitely. I think that's why they chose Portland and Vancouver to be the newest MLS squads next summer because it brings back the historic Northwest rivalry that has been around since the NASL days. Even now when Seattle comes to Portland or vice-versa for cup matches stuff kind of kicks off (in a very American way) and that can only help the sport.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Rivalries are good for sport and fans, so this is a fantastic little 'stunt', and a great decision by the MLS to introduce teams closer to each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonarmy Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I used to hate Henry, but he keeps making it harder and harder to hate him when he's doing things like taking the commuter train back to NYC from the game, just hanging out with the fans. http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog/dirty-tackle/post/Thierry-Henry-has-a-train-buddy-in-Rafa-Marquez-?urn=sow-268650 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Union beating Fire 1-0 right now. Collins John is a clear threat though. Well, not really, he just looks like a lazy fat cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting... That bodes well for them changing it. It's always been a gripe of mine that so many teams make the post-season every year in MLS. You can literally win a handful of games and be in the post-season which devalues each match immensely. If every match matters, more people will show up. Also, on the Timber's website there are a bunch of questions about season ticket prices. Right now I'll just assume that all of the tickets already sold were under the assumption of these matches and only existing teams will have more expensive season tickets.

nobby_solano Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 that is djibril cisse aye? ^ apologies for asking a potentially really obvious question but i'd not heard of him moving to the MLS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 haha, Djibril Cisse is in there, as are many other stars. It's an adidas advert from a few years ago, but it seems they've Unionified it. At least I assume the Union havent signed Cisse, del Piero, Defoe, Saviola et al.

DC v Houston will probably be a better game but then again, most of MLS is like watching paint dry. With that cheaper ticket you'll still be able to get down in the front if you want, just wait till the OAPs checking tickets at the end of the tunnels turn around or walk through with a large group.
