mls 2015

My mom used to say vaccinated with a Victrola needle, so you Fog aren't alone. The guy likes the sound of his own voice. I think he's the only one yet he continues to find work.

 

I used to have the MLS package but I cut it for budgetary reasons. Since I am looking at going more of the Netflix route and reducing the cable bill it may be time to jump back on board. I loved the access before since I am in the middle of no MLS markets.

 

I didn't catch the match, but the score certainly points to New England missing its two biggest players.

Nice weekend for USMNT members for sure. Dempsey, Jozy, Mix...

 

I subscribe to MLS Live as a Portland Timbers fan in Chicago. It works great. If I'm not mistaken it also works with Chromecast so you can through it up on a TV. For $70 a season it's a pretty good deal. If the Championship did the same thing I would pay twice as much to watch Fulham matches.

 

Honestly it almost ruined watching the match for me. I didn't realize when he made the jump from ESPN that he'd be doing color. I used to be able to just ignore him when he was doing pre-/post-match and halftime. But now I'm stuck with him for 90 minutes. Awful.

Anyway, I took the plunge and bought season tickets to the Galaxy (although I was stuck watching Friday's opener on TV).

All in all a pretty good weekend. I hope the TV ratings will finally reflect the strides the league has been making.

 

I agree that the league has stepped forward based on the opening performances I saw (in total only about 20+ minutes from three separate matches, so caveat). But, I've been following this league for years and it's a dramatic improvement over the ol' punt and pray days. Even the two expansion clubs showed periods of high quality - not to mention 60+K at the Citrus Bowl.

 

I remember a few years ago at the peak of Real Salt Lake's run (3 years ago maybe), they had the second leg of the Final at home after tying away (pretty sure it was Monterrey) and lost a heartbreaker.

Had to look up what was going on with the CCL and Montreal is the lone MLS left, Club America is the only Mexican Primera team (along with 2 Costa Rican teams). Montreal (maybe someone can tell me how they qualified) is barely shaking the rust off and they have to play in the semifinal next week?? Until they change the schedule, I just can't see a MLS team win other than the occasional one off (Galaxy and DC have won it, but years ago).

 

They were 2014 Canadian Championship champions.

After seeing what happened on opening weekend I agree. If the suits don't mess it up I think we're on our way.

 

It was a good opening set of matches and i caught bits and pieces of most matches and all of the Crew/ Dynamo game (if it wasnt for Deric, the Crew would have kept their opening Day streak going, last defeat on opening day since 2012) $70 dollars for Live seems a bit much, but if you only watch the team you support, it works out to a little over $2.00 a match. The key is to get it early, i got a discount for paying up early in January.

Im so happy that I am not alone with Lalas, i have never been a fan of his, especially once he started commentating. I can live with Wynalda, but if I had to have an American former player there can only be one, Brian Mcbride, and thats not sentiment talking. Kasey Keller isnt terrible either, nor Tim Howard on the few matches Ive heard him call.

 

And look what's happened to Sunderland after he left......no mo' PO'(yet).

 

Good for Minnesota. This is one of the "grassroots" choices I can applaud as a selection.

 

Thought this was funny.
