Smart of them. I think a lot of the MLS teams could do a better job of engaging the community.

Philadelphia has the community definitely engaged, but it still has that big red ***** on the jersey. The wife and daughters laugh at me every time I wear it.

Really great 1st day of MLS action. Some really superb games and some great goals. Going to be a good MLS season.

Toronto FC beat Red Bull NY so that made me happy.

And Philly lost to Dallas....sigh....

Red card minutes from the half for Seattle. KC looked bad to start but are getting it together.

 

[Itkovian]

Red card was for a slide tackle with both feet off the ground. It was the right call.

Dallas is a good team.

That's a tough one. He didn't touch the defender. I know its a new rule, but I'm not a fan of that call, but I'm fine with the call as long as the refs are consistent with it all year. But yellow seems more appropriate.

He doesn't touch but that doesn't make the slide any less reckless. MLS made it clear this off season they wouldn't fool with that anymore.

Hell, just outlaw all slide tackles.

I signed up for MLS Live for a 2nd straight year. Wasn't happy with their coverage this first year, but so far, this year is better but their blackout rule ruined it last year. This year its a little better.

The table in the East is surprising. The 1st and 2nd place team from last year are in last and 2nd to last respectively.

Gerrard is a bust in LA...

Why does the US have to put it's MLS all star team up against Arsenal? We've got some pretty darn good teams in the MLS that could go head to head with arsenal without being an all star team.

^^^ Can someone please do a welfare check on Croak? I think the heat may be getting to him.

 

[Bundesbiers]

I think this game will be very fun to watch. Looking forward to it.

Got some IPA's in the fridge.

 

[Bundesbiers]

Very entertaining 1st half.

 

[Bundesbiers]

Ok... Let's discuss this. There was a 3 minute water break each half (at 30 minutes and 75 minutes)... Yet in both halves, the ref only added 2 additional minutes for extra/injury time... What?

What was the result? I assume extra time did not matter anymore and as I know extra time is at the discretion of the ref .
But somehow strange when you have planned water breaks

Aresnal beat the MLS All Stars 2:1. But because of the heat, there were planned water breaks that lasted 3 minutes each half while the clock ran. Yet, at the end of both halves, only 2 minutes were added. Not sure the ref's realized their mistake.

Alejandro Bedoya goes to Philadelphia Union from Nantes. A big grab for the Union.

And where does Schweini land? What MLS team is the best fit for him?

 

[Bundesbiers]

Seattle Sounders.

Anywhere but LA or NY.

 

[Croak]

We'll take him in Philadelphia..

 

[Bundesbiers]

Watching with great interest tonight...

Philadelphia Union vs Toronto FC. 2 good teams.

 

[Croak]

My union got thumped.
