Seattle V New York

[Sab0tage]

I wish we had a roof. The acoustics are so good in Seattle. Get us a fricken roof, MLSE.

[Inklink]

cant believe the one sounders player tried to tip it in...he was offside by a mile

LOL yeah, almost like hockey.

[BakaGaijin]

cant believe the one sounders player tried to tip it in...he was offside by a mile

That goal shouldn't have counted because the player in the offside position was a distraction to the keeper.

[StandUpIfYouHateChelsea]

a NEW ASSHOLE I TELL YOU HAHAHAH MONTERO GOALLLL

[Shakes McQueen]

Man, if teams like TFC and Seattle are the future of this league... the future is indeed bright.

- Scott

[kodiakTFC]

Got to give it to Seattle's fans so far, they "sound" real good.

[mclaren]

still think Red Bulls will win this...

[Brooker]

roflmao red bulls are shiiiiiite

[Sab0tage]

Almost a second haha.

[RealG-TFC]

Yeah it was Goldy.....

[BuSaPuNk]

Oh the Red Bulls are SHITE!!

[LucaGol]

New York's defense is at complete 6's and f*ckin 7's

WAKE THE Hell UP

[Inklink]

I Want A Rooof :(

[rocker]

wow both teams have no defense. this game is crazy so far

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

fac...east west stands on there feet

[dag]

April 4 is NOT going to be an automatic 3 points, my friends.

[TFC07]

Why? Should college games be louder than football games?

WTF? It feels more like a college game because marching bands and cheerleaders. So far, I haven't heard any chants from this crowd.

[sully]

this is good for the league..really good so far..

[Sab0tage]

That marching band is awful...

[billyfly]

I wish they make BMO bigger. Cuz we can make it badder.

[Banjax]

The red bulls are shite
are shite
are shite
The Red Bulls are shite
oh yes its true

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

honeslty...whats your take on the BAND?

[Brooker]

are new york's defenders still in the locker room?

[NF-FC]

wow that band is annoying

[Brooker]

honeslty...whats your take on the BAND?

garbage and terribly annoying.

[shawn6597]

i think the band provides to the atmosphere pretty well

[LucaGol]

honeslty...whats your take on the BAND?

I dont think they thought the fans would be so into it.

Therefore ... redundant and kind of annoying.

[shawn6597]

its unique forsure but i like it

[Inklink]

LOL! Are they trying to create a European atmosphere by making artificial noise with a band? Hahah, I just found that out.

[jwfm1985]

Freddy Montero is great for the league, terrible for TFC. Hopefully Vitti makes us proud!

I am glad we have another team like Seattle to hate though, great game, great atmosphere... will be fun to beat them :)

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

I dont think they thought the fans would be so into it.

Therefore ... redundant and kind of annoying. id have to agree

[TFC_123]

The band sucks. I don't here any organized chants, which is something we had from day one. We'll embarrass them with our support come April 4.

[mclaren]

honeslty...whats your take on the BAND?

awful

[nascarguy]

Portland to be announced tonight at Seattle halftime
http://twitter.com/callitfootball

[Shakes McQueen]

April 4 is NOT going to be an automatic 3 points, my friends.

Ehh, we will see how good Seattle really is, once the "high" of the first home game wears off, and they settle in to the season.

I don't think anyone was taking our home match with them for granted though - they definitely have some offensive firepower.

- Scott

[felipe]

I like the band too...its different

[RealG-TFC]

honeslty...whats your take on the BAND?

I don't like it.

[jwfm1985]

Dont hate the band, but wouldnt want it at BMO

[Sonny Cheeba]

"F@ck off TFC! You ain't got no history" from the Chat on justin tv, on whatever channel i'm watching.

how many of these teams have the history that liverpool does? they can't even alter the lyrics? hahaha

[billyfly]

April 4 is NOT going to be an automatic 3 points, my friends.

Never thought it would be.

[Shakes McQueen]

So far I can't tell if this is Seattle playing really well, or New York playing really, really bad.

The Energy Drinks have been on their heels since the kick off.

- Scott

[mclaren]

The band sucks. I don't here any organized chants, which is something we had from day one. We'll embarrass them with our support come April 4.

yeah don't hear any clear chants but a decent wall of noise.

[jwfm1985]

Montero is on loan right? So does this mean Seattle has the option to buy him? Would be a great investment

[CenturySam]

im just waiting to hear 'c'mooon yooou greeeeens'

'oh when the greens go marching in....'

[felipe]

Goldy is magic today

[Brooker]

bwahahaha Goldy what was that :P

[Batman]

I'm down in FL for a few weeks, and watching on ESPN 2.

The Seattle crowd is fantastic. Maybe even more engaged than Toronto (not including the bunker) Although 35k certainly contributes to the atmosphere.

Nice for the Sounders that they didn't have to wait too long for a goal.

How many games did we wait? I can't remember.

[mclaren]

Let's remember that Seattle has a good coach so he can probably get the best out of a new team.

[Shakes McQueen]

Great to see the referees are still awful. Energy Drinks player just got molested twice in front of the ref, with no call, haha.

- Scott

[RicoSuave44]

haha goldy yelling at the ref reminds me of will farrell

[MrHawk]

Montero will run through our back 4.

MARK IT.

[FCBarcelona]

So far I can't tell if this is Seattle playing really well, or New York playing really, really bad.

- Scott
====================
Seattle are playing well, the crowd is pushing them, but nice to see NY aredoing bad:D

[boomcha]

Our first goal celebration was way better!

[mclaren]

I'm down in FL for a few weeks, and watching on ESPN 2.

Nice for the Sounders that they didn't have to wait too long for a goal.

How many games did we wait? I can't remember.

but the fact we had to wait just added to the anticipation and excitement when we finally scored! it wouldn't have been the same if we'd scored early on!

[Inklink]

Okay who's the idiot spamming the chat?

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

the demand is there....wtf is MLSE waiting for......out with the PATIO!

[Brooker]

ohhhh danny dichiooooooooooooo

[ginkster88]

Wow zakuna looks good.

[Banjax]

Wow New York D so bad. And to think we were worried about our D.

[GeorgeB]

shiite bulls defense is terrible.worse than ours for sure.

[Sab0tage]

The commentators are in love with Seattle.

[billyfly]

Montero will run through our back 4.

MARK IT.

I tend to agree with you.

[Daveisonfire]

ohhhh danny dichiooooooooooooo

hahaha beat me to it

[felipe]

yea, I was just thinkin that...Red Bull D looks awful, as does their mid

[zamperina]

It sounds like the band is playing 70's porn music!

This just in...the band sucks Red Balls!

[mr k]

espn tends to better job of miking the field - cbc on the other hand is only average.

and Qwest is known for being loud due to its structure AND no chants - so for me, it is a quite good college pointy ball atmosphere so far.

[TFC_Chris]

That was quick....
2-0

[Sab0tage]

Holy fuck the Red Bulls suck.

[BuSaPuNk]

wow 2-0 seattle???

[Inklink]

LOL @ Drew

And NY SUCKS so bad 2-0

[MrHawk]

Way to go for Seattle.

You almost feel bad for them for loosing the Sonics.

[Shakes McQueen]

Stupid commentators were blabbering about bullshit as Seattle scored their second goal, haha.

- Scott

[dantdot]

oh my I can smell the shite from here

[Brooker]

jesus the redbulls are shite.

[FCBarcelona]

can yoo beleive this 2-0 seattle

NY HA HA HA HA

[Sonny Cheeba]

new york red bulls are fuckin garbage.

[Antoshka]

yikes, this team looks SICK!

[dag]

Incredible.

[zeelaw]

lol Cepero!

[Mojo]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwww lets not get outdone by Seattle :D

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhh the redbulls are shite

[BuSaPuNk]

I know their shite but this just brings it to a new level.....seattle screw job anyone??

[ginkster88]

haha shiiiit.

[Sab0tage]

yikes, this team looks SICK! Or do the Red Bulls just really suck?

[LucaGol]

this is just sad for new york

[Shakes McQueen]

Cepero got nutmegged from about 15 feet away, hahaha.

- Scott

[Joe Kool]

...and we were worried about our defense.

[Inklink]

Faker

[noochie]

Seattle looks great.... pause... thanks to NYRB

[mclaren]

red bulls look awful - they are losing 2-0 and still can't put a few passes together.

[Toronto_Bhoy]

This is a good team! There linking play between their midfield and forwards is excellent...

[Daveisonfire]

lol @ Danny Separio (sp)

[billyfly]

I wonder if the TFC logo had included the CN Tower if Seattle would have included the Space Needle in theirs.

[TFC07]

yikes, this team looks SICK!

Not really. New York is just shit!

[TFC_Chris]

lol Cepero!

I have to agree...
The second goal was completely his fault, just a terrible attempt at trying to stop the ball...

[Brooker]

LOL! was that a backbody drop?!

[LucaGol]

I CANNOT stand american commentary

[Redpunkfiddle]

yeah don't hear any clear chants but a decent wall of noise.

Franchise has a horseshoe ....

As for chants, I think the general noise is drowning anything out from the supporters section. A good problem to have.

[shawn6597]

wait till freddie plays

[Antoshka]

Or do the Red Bulls just really suck?

that too, but seattle is good enough to take advantage of their situations and show how much red bulls really suck.
good for seattle this is excellent for the league. im jealous.

[mclaren]

didn't Chicago win MLS in their first season? ;)

[TFC_Chris]

BTW, what is up with Cepero's jersey?
Why is one sleeve a different colour?

[jwfm1985]

Not really. New York is just shit!


NY is shit, but Seattle is playing quite well, great passes and positioning

[noochie]

ny aint gettin a sniff...

[ginkster88]

They're playing without Ljundberg, correct?

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

cna VItti step it up like montero>?

[Shakes McQueen]

Hey Shite Bulls - this is how you do soccer in a football stadium, haha.

You can barely tell pointy ball is played there, until they pan up to the covered seats.

- Scott

[felipe]

If you think seattle looks good...wait until you get a load of the boys in red on Saturday

(or maybe grey - not sure really)

[FCBarcelona]

I CANNOT stand american commentary
=====
SI , they talk too much
its not ice hockey

[Brooker]

a blistering shot by NY!

[FCBarcelona]

They're playing without Ljundberg, correct?
====
SI!!!

YES!!!

[Antoshka]

WOOOW did you get a load of that move?

[TFC USA]

Sorry you have to deal with American announcers.

ESPN especially has the habit of not allowing dead air.


John Harkes sounds like he's going to cum any moment watching Seattle play.

[MrHawk]

This Seattle team is very quick and exposing NYRB's weak back 4 on the counter.

Good luck Toronto.

[tovan]

red bulls D = impact D vs. santos

[RicoSuave44]

Definetely a step up in pace for an MLS game. I wonder if Seattle, players and fans, will be able to keep this up for long. With the depth of MLS rosters, might be a huge problem for the Sounders early on this year.

[Mojo]

__________ looks great!... when playing the Red Bulls.

[Redpunkfiddle]

Anybody seeing all the standing that is happening?

[TFC USA]

Man, the Vancouver/Seattle rivalry will be epic.

[Inklink]

Damn is it good to see MLS soccer back :) . No matter the quality, no matter the empty stadiums. This game is great.

[Shakes McQueen]

Man - I just can't believe how poorly New York is playing. No creativity at all, just a poor pass or two, then an interception. Over and over again.

The possession percentages for this half are going to be embarrassing.

- Scott

[MrHawk]

The only thing is, is that Seattle like other American cities, is very "Trendy".

This is new to them and exciting. A playoff appearance is critical to this team's existance and repeat atmosphere like this one.

[BRed]

Gentleman....It has begun.

[TFC07]

Man, the Vancouver/Seattle rivalry will be epic.

As long Vancouver fans can bring same passion as Seattle fans.

[denime]

great atmosphere,they are setting the bar for this season,and we have to show them how is being done without cheerleaders and marching band on April 4th.

[Inklink]

Yeah, Vancouver Seattle would be amazing. That's why I want Montreal :( .

BTW, that's 3 TFC defenders playing in tonight's game.

[Brooker]

lmfao this is a joke

[GeorgeB]

This Seattle team is very quick and exposing NYRB's weak back 4 on the counter.

Good luck Toronto.you are making it sound like they are going to destroy us. i will bet you that we destroy them 3-0

[TFC_123]

yeah don't hear any clear chants but a decent wall of noise.

I don't deny that. However, it's definitely more intimidating when it's an organized chant.

[pimpslapt]

great atmosphere,they are setting the bar for this season,and we have to show them how is being done without cheerleaders and marching band on April 4th.

hopefully we can start with chants that last more than 30 seconds....that would be a start

[RicoSuave44]

man that kid was born offside

[noochie]

Very true... history proves that Seattle is a terrible sports town... but they do love the latest fashion ;)

[BuSaPuNk]

Completely agree....let's show them how its done!! :canada:

[Batman]

Man, the Vancouver/Seattle rivalry will be epic.

So True!

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

thats a first..the coach is wearing a team scarf

[Inklink]

Talk about delayed reaction by Richards.

[mclaren]

So True!

bert will be up for it!

[MrHawk]

you are making it sound like they are going to destroy us. i will bet you that we destroy them 3-0

It's not that they are going to destroy us, but they will definitely be no pushover.

As I stated, SFC seems to be countering NYRB and a lot faster.

It'll be a tough game for sure. IF we win, you owe me a carton of Valter Volf's.

[felipe]

wow that Richards is a baby

[Damien]

Seattle still scares me, no matter what anyone says.

[mclaren]

thats a first..the coach is wearing a team scarf


sigi? he always wears the scarf. at least he did at columbus.

i can believe im hearing this from a toronto fan ...

Their D is solid, very organized. Good movement through the middle, when Freddy is back in they are going to be dangerous

It's smoke and mirrors. I just saw a security guy waving a scarf....

did anyone just see that security guard with the scarf lol

[BuSaPuNk]

thats a first..the coach is wearing a team scarf

Sigi did the same thing when he was in columbus

[RealG-TFC]

Did anyone just see that Security Guard waving a scarf?

[Batman]

This really makes you wish we had 35k maniacs whatching in Toronto instead of about 5k maniacs and 15k spectators!

[Wagner]

did anyone else see the Security Guard trying to hype up the supporters section???
waving his scarf...

[mclaren]

red bull look like they haven't turned up ... so slow and sluggish, just awful.

[Wagner]

the security guard wasn't even watching the game...is their atmosphere manufactured??

[mclaren]

This really makes you wish we had 35k maniacs whatching in Toronto instead of about 5k maniacs and 15k spectators!

in fairness, i doubt they have 35k maniacs...the stadium really helps compared to BMO.

[Antoshka]

froze :S

[Inklink]

I'm pretty sure it was a fan in a SECURITY hoody. LOL

[GeorgeB]

It's not that they are going to destroy us, but they will definitely be no pushover.

It'll be a tough game for sure. IF we win, you owe me a carton of Valter Volf's. mls teams are brutal on the road and once the first game adrenaline wears off they will be your typical expansion side.if we win, you buy me a pint.

Goddamn feed is down.

Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver in the league will be amazing for travelling fans in that region.

[Antoshka]

http://www.rojadirecta.com/justin/psn01

[Inklink]

I'm still laughing at that 5-hole goal LOL

[Daveisonfire]

I think the acoustics play a large part, same with the mic placement.

I wonder what we would sound like with a setup like that

[Batman]

in fairness, i doubt they have 35k maniacs...the stadium really helps compared to BMO.

fair point.... however I do notice a pretty severe drop off in atmosphere once you leave the supporters area. The extra 15k certainly makes a difference in sound too. Kind of like the Blue Jays in early 90s vs. now.

[GeorgeB]

Ozujsko???? :drinking:

[Shakes McQueen]

Oh, just saw my first close-up of Tyrone Marshall.

[denime]

This really makes you wish we had 35k maniacs whatching in Toronto instead of about 5k maniacs and 15k spectators!


yeah,very well said.
Even on the sidelines ppl are standing,apparently prawn sandwich eaters are not allowed to buy the tickets in Seattle.

[GeorgeB]

i dont know whats worse ,Shiite bulls defense,midfield or goalkeeping ?

[kodiakTFC]

You know what guys, they may have 35k fans and better acoustics but do they have the scotched eggs we do !?! TFC +1

[felipe]

i don't remember Goldy sucking that much for us...

[Sab0tage]

Fuck, not Lalas.

[pekduck]

oohhhhhhhhhhhh they red bulls are shite

[rocker]

i don't remember Goldy sucking that much for us...

I do... I couldn't stand Goldy..

[Lucky Strike]

Excellent half, supporters in good voice (but not much singing that I can hear - maybe because they're being drowned out) hope they can keep it up in the future. As I thought, Montero will be a beast and my prediction of 14 goals looks good so far (though admittedly just based on 45 mins). He's got a goal and an assist. My final score prediction will be incorrect but that's okay, I'd rather Seattle win to hook people on (if they're not already) and we won't have to run the chance of having Seattle win their first game against us.

[Sab0tage]

Garber telling us who's coming in with Vancouver. Imagine if he surprised us all and it was Montreal or Ottawa. I wish.

[TFC USA]

American soccer announcers suck.....

You guys should've heard ESPN in the last World Cup.

Hopefully CBC won't torture us with Steve Armitage....

[Daveisonfire]

So it's Seattle's first ever MLS match and they are up 2-0 on the New York Red Bulls...







Let's talk about Beckham! :rolleyes:

[Redpunkfiddle]

Well no kidding they'll come back down to earth in terms of competitiveness. Its the MLS after all.

The stadium and crowd work obviously- except they can't give the same stick in the corners.

[MrHawk]

OH GOD

Video Professor "Try My Product"

[kodiakTFC]

Garber telling us who's coming in with Vancouver. Imagine if he surprised us all and it was Montreal or Ottawa. I wish.

lol I was thinking the game thing.

"and the next team is.... montreal!"

[sully]

anyone know why Boyens was taken off? He didn't seem injured... was it his performance?

It seems it was arguably Goldwaithe's fault for the second goal...the ball went through his legs into the net I think..

And Marshall could have sat on the grass for that half and it probably wouldn't have made a difference..the Shite stank so much..

[FCBarcelona]

Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver in the league will be amazing for travelling fans in that region.
=====
This will help me to see TFC more,

nice too see Portland Timber back:)

[jloome]

I take back any doubt I had about Montero. Kid's movement off the ball is fucking scary. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't score 15, assuming he stays healthy.

[RealG-TFC]

Ooohhhhhhh Toronto!!!

[kodiakTFC]

My buddy right here is saying Quest is renowned for being one of the loudest stadium in the NFL.

[Antoshka]

holy lord did don garber got 10 years older over the last year?

[zeelaw]

Portland?

[jloome]

anyone know why Boyens was taken off? He didn't seem injured... was it his performance?

And Marshall could have sat on the grass for that half and it probably wouldn't have made a difference..the Shite stank so much..


Yeah, it was his performance. You have to feel for him, but his lateral coverage is absolutely terrible, and he was allowing gaping, gaping holes. Petke actually played really well for most of that half.

[Sab0tage]

So it's Portland.

[zeelaw]

ROFL Press-Conference in Portland? lol i wonder who it is :(

[MrHawk]

The team will be announced in Portland at a press conference.

hmmmmmm that's a tough one.

HAHAHAHA He's comparing MLS Derbies to the ones in England/Italy/Latin America. HAHAHAHAAHAHAH

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

whats scoop on philly...they in next season?

[Sab0tage]

Why are they still talking about Beckham. Who the hell cares.

[kodiakTFC]

The team will be announced in Portland at a press conference.

hmmmmmm that's a tough one.

HAHAHAHA He's comparing MLS Derbies to the ones in England/Italy/Latin America. HAHAHAHAAHAHAH

I'm stumped to MrHawk.. just can't put a finger on it. Perhaps its Ottawa?

whats scoop on philly...they in next season?

yes 2010

Philly 2010
Vancouver 2011
Portland 2012 (And one more team he's announcing hopefully)

[billyfly]

holy lord did don garber got 10 years older over the last year?

I thought the same thing

[TFC USA]

Lalas is a twat who thinks the MLS is one of the best leagues in the world.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

MOntero...better not dance like that at BMO......hmmmm

[Lucky Strike]

Philly 2010
Vancouver 2011
Portland 2012 (And one more team he's announcing hopefully)

Actually Portland 2011

and two more in 2012, hopefully Montreal and St. Louis (get a loan or something guys!)

[BRed]

First half is in the books, looks like the only thing more real than the green field in Seattle is the passioante green stands. The crowd resembles the Boston Red Sox fans who are always into the game, there certainly isn't a "corporate section" in this stadium, atleast in their first game. Although the crowd is loud, they are lacking any sort of proper chanting but one has to give them a break since chants take time to develop.

As for the expansion team, well they play anything like a group of guys who are playing with each other for the first official game. Incredible team chemistry and already the SFC team seems to have a chemistry developed. Their counter attacks and plays of the wing are in top form given it's their first game. Their defence seems to be strong, haven't seen one mistake except a miscommunication on a header which was quickly cleared by Marshall.

Given all these positives we bare in mind that they are playing a suspect side in the New York Red Bulls, playing infron of a home crowd that hasn't had their stomachs tested yet and a team who is unconsciouss of any pressure.

dont wanna sound pessimistic but theyre coached by sigi schmid, and unfortunately he just got our number. i think if our midfield will be as good on the field as it is on paper, and freddie ljungberg doesnt play for the sounders, we can have that game.

All hilarity and wtfisgoingon? aside, I am so thrilled the season is finally on.

I excuse the band for tonight, it is their first home game, but hopefully it never makes an encore game. They definitely don't need it.

[TFC USA]

Sorry man, but when Madden is drawing penises on TV you have to wonder what would happen in footy.

[ThunderTundra]

The game definitely looks good in that stadium, it looks like a proper football stadium

and the electronic ad boards give it the big european stadium feel

Fcuk me.....good on them! They've out done the mighty TFC!

67000 seat capacity, with 5000 additional seats if needed

BMO capacity of 20000, seats filled = 20000 = 100%

waiting list = 15000

They only outdo because they use a pointy throwball stadium

I know you know these things, but still, noone outdoes us :D

[rocker]

that would be a red for TFC
