oops yeah thats what i meant, 1+5 a pretty good game huh

even with the copa this year, messi should take a good run at that assist record





solid attacking team

lol yeah kind of funny to set a new record and then smash it again in 3 weeks. not sure what the max capacity is these days but i guess we're about to find out. should be 50-60k

Guy is pretty good

Would you put him up there with MLS legends like Zardes and Wondo?

messi needs a bigger body of MLS work to be mentioned in the same breath as those two

~30th minute: montreal 2 - 0 messi


imfc also had a good pk shout just before the 2nd goal but the ref declined to even look at it, lol pretty shocked over here

rojas ghana messi, 2-1


edit: now 2-2 lol

Hot start to the season for Montreal, but now everyone's injured and they suck again.

3 Miami goals and Messi without a single scorepoint might be a first.

that 2nd quakes goal is legitimately one of the most embarrassing goals I've ever seen conceeded.

timbers really need to be disbanded immediately after that.

wonder how much that ref had bet on vancouver

i mean that was a pk at the end, but yeah overall they seemed to get more decisions than normal. or perhaps he was just letting them play because it's technically a derby

ya don't really have an issue with that being a PK but almost the exact same play on the other end and don't even var it.

hope any whitecaps fans going to this didn't fork out a lot of money in advance for tix

there's gonna be a riot

well that's quite an ending in sea.
sea scores to go to up 2-0 in the 96" (9" added).

game ends 1-1.

Socialism now redistributing goals!

puskas award nominee from last night:




big to pick up b2b wins going into the break

Beautiful goal

been a lot of embarrassing performances this season but philly may have just taken the cake.

messi-less mia gets 2 red cards and scores the game winner with 9 men vs 11.

So I went to Red Bull v. Toronto on Saturday.

My dad (who isn't a soccer fan) and 6 year old niece were up from North Carolina and came with my wife and 2 year old son.

On 9 minutes they stop the game for "storms in the area". Skies were clear, there was no rain. They made people leave their seats and pack the concourses in 98 degree heat. It was "fireworks night" so there were tons of families with small kids there (the stadium was still half full)

For 2 hours they had people crammed in the concourses with no visible lightning or fain. About 1:45 in there were some lightning very very off the distance with low rumbling thunder following after close to a minute.

In short, there was absolutely no reason to stop the game. By time the game resumed the game could have been finished.

I get lightning is a threat but they were way way way way too overcautious in this situation.

By comparison, Yankee Stadium, which was sold out and closer to the storm than RB Arena was able to finish their game uninterrupted. They were in the bottom of the 8th inning when Red Bull resumed.

Just an absolutely atrocious job by Red Bull or MLS (I'm guessing it's the latter bc I see delays all the time on tv, but this was the first one I experienced in person. Hopefully they're not all as unnecessary is this). It makes me never want to go to a game ever again, especially if there is even the smallest hint of weather in there.,

Add to this zero communication from Red Bull how long the delay was expected to last or when they expected to start. Kids lying in the middle of the concourse, families with small children sweating their asses off.

We eventually left after an hour and 15 minutes. That parking lot is a **** show so we sat in that traffic for an hour and 15 minutes. We weren't the only ones who packed it in having traveled 2 hours and waited another hour + to see 9 minutes of football under dry skies with zero lightning in sight.

LOL MLS

I saw that game was delayed on Saturday (I needed NYRB to complete a parlay) and just figured a massive summer storm sprung up over the stadium.

on the positive side, at least the red bulls won

but yes otherwise lol mls.
