No team travels with private chefs and horror - American restaurants do not keep European hours. Good luck, Lamps, trying to find someplace open in Columbus, Ohio, after a match versus the Crew when you've got the munchies. May I suggest the local Waffle House?

I remember driving around Columbus at 2am looking for someplace to eat.

It was quite difficult.

These are the exact same photos used a couple of months ago with this chick. Quite an obvious repeat. Talk about phoning it in on the part of the Sun staff.

I don't know what is more sad, the fact that they are repeating a SSG from a few months ago or that I recognized her. :lol:

On another note, I believe this will be the very first match this season wherein Preki will have a complete match fit roster at his disposal other than Gomez. It will be interesting to see his selection for the starting lineup without a congested schedule to worry about...

I also recognized her. At first I wondered if she came back for another photo shoot (which I would recommend if anyone from the sun is reading this) but then I saw it was the one from a month ago.


LOL, she's worth repeating though :yum:

That match is only on RSN Pacific and it's a 7:30 start. It's a 7pm start in Venezuela and they have a wonky time zone where they're half and hour off from us (I think Chavez, their President wanted the time zone change).

goal.com has definitely been improving its MLS coverage. one of the first steps towards league legitimacy is gaining adequate media coverage, instead of BS sites like mls-rumors.com.

Major League Soccer cannot compete financially with most of its European counterparts. Nor does it have any desire to keep up with the Jones's. Those with the talent will continue to be exported to the highest bidder but MLS can hold its head up high in the knowledge it has made a contribution to the drama that lies ahead.

MLS is in a weird position, isn't it? It's like a Premiership club thats developing through its Academy (i.e. NCAA). Bringing in these stars like Beckham and Henry are nice, but what would be better is to market these up and coming stars that are American born / bred. Frei, Omar Gonzales, Teal Burnaby should be marketed better / more frequently.

Shalrie Joseph admits pot use (http://bostonherald.com/sports/soccer/revolution/view.bg?articleid=1257888)


“Bottom line is I made a bad decision to smoke marijuana,” Joseph said. “I got caught and they sent me to drug rehab treatment."

They even included a picture of him looking like a rastafarian :rolleyes:

Techno will be soooo disappointed.

This impressed me...


All MLS players are subjected to a minimum of two random drug tests with no prior notice per calendar year under the collectively bargained Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health (SABH) program.
The independent agency in charge of the program tests year-round for substances included on the league’s prohibited list, including street drugs such as cocaine, marijuana and heroin, performance-enhancing drugs and other substances included on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited list.

I agree!

The NHL is successful because even in it's leanest years, they could count on the Canadian market. Why? Canadians love their hockey and their Canadian boys. No matter how good Jagr was, Canadians wanted to see Lemieux. No matter how good Lidstrom was, we loved Stevie Y and Shanahan. Gretzky is still a folk hero here even though he is more American now than Canadian.

Where are the American stars? They try to market Donovan but he has such a dull personality that if it weren't for his talent, he'd be very difficult to market. McBride? He is respected for sure, but he's never been marketed enough, especially with all the contributions he's made to the national team. US Soccer does a far better job marketing the game in the US than the CSA does in Canada, but they still have a ways to go.

Stop concentrating on Beckham and start promoting your talented young kids. And as much as rah-rah nationalism irritates me, it works. Throw a US flag behind their pictures and tell everyone to "get behind your boys".

And Canada should do the same with our boys.

Makes me laugh, because actually, MLS salary budgets are growing faster than their Euro counterparts...big 2/4 teams excepted.

From what i remember calculating, the MLS salary cap is going up 12-14% a year.

Yes, it's small in total numbers but if the growth rates continue at this pace, we'll be up to a decent 2nd division status in no time.

"It was not the prettiest game you will ever see in your life," coach Preki said. "We're confident in our system, we're confident in the way we want to play. Sometimes it's not really pretty, but I'd rather win ugly than lose pretty."
