MLS Tonight: Seattle v Dallas

[Kevvv]

For those craving one last footy fix this weekend. In HD on NBC Seattle (Rogers 529).

[TFC USA]

No Cunningham starting.

[TFC USA]

LOL I swear the TV announcer said "[FC Dallas] loves to stroke it."

Don't we all?

[TFC USA]

This is not fair. Why should Seattle get the great names?

Seamon AND Vagenas?

Open stuff so far but Seattle's defense is awful.

[TFC USA]

What the fuck kind of backpass was that?

And how did Montero not score there?

[TFC USA]

GOALLLLLLLLL MONTERO.

1-0 Seattle. Very lively start.

[Roogsy]

There is an MLS game today of all days?

MLS should really smarten up and not schedule a game on the day the World Cup is being played. It causes a natural inclination for comparisons and you don't want that in the MLS...LOL!

[TFC USA]

Unlike the World Cup Final though, this game is entertaining. :)

[zooko62000]

any live streams?

[sulfur]

There is an MLS game today of all days?
Hell, 4 years ago, they had games kicking off at the same time as the World Cup final.

Beat that! :)

[TFC USA]

ATDHE.net had a feed but I'm not sure it's working. You can check though.

[TFC USA]

This is a great first half. Very open stuff.

[TFC USA]

1-0 Seattle at halftime.

Should be more goals in this one.

[Pachuco]

That was an entertaining half. Awesome goal by Montero.

[TFC USA]

Holy shit Seattle should've made it 2-0.

[TFC USA]

Wow. Brek Shea just wildly flings his legs out to bring down Montano, who in turn lowers an elbow on Shea.

Shea doesn't get punished despite loads of contact, and Montano is sent off.

[twistedchinaman]

What the fuck is that?!

Seattle down to 10 -- Colombian guy on his first start gets sent off. Stupid Slounder supporters cheering him.

[TFC USA]

The elbow is a definite red but how the fuck does Shea's challenge go unpunished? That was a ludicrous challenge.

[twistedchinaman]

Also...the Seattle plastic pitch looks awful. As usual.

[twistedchinaman]

The elbow is a definite red but how the fuck does Shea's challenge go unpunished? That was a ludicrous challenge.

Shea was nailed with a yellow -- I only got a glimpse of it, so I can't say if it was truly red-worthy or not.

[TFC USA]

Good lord this announcer has to shut up about "Rave Green".

Montero is on fire today. Great game.

[TFC USA]

Cunningham is coming on.

Time to vomit.

[twistedchinaman]

Good lord this announcer has to shut up about "Rave Green".

I'm seeing now why the people on Test Match Special didn't like him much.

He's no Nigel Reed -- Arlo's voice carries about as much gravitas as a leaky shotglass.

[twistedchinaman]

Cunningham is coming on.

Time to vomit.

I was so hoping I didn't have to -- I just had an awesome meal.

[twistedchinaman]

Good gravy -- is it just two Bastards watching this right now??

[TFC USA]

I'm seeing now why the people on Test Match Special didn't like him much.

He's no Nigel Reed -- voice carries about as much gravitas as a leaky shotglass.

The dude sounds like a fucking cheerleader. He's so biased it's not even funny. Sounders this, and Sounders that. Nigel and Jason give criticism when needed.

I'd take him though over those disgraceful Colorado pricks.

Oh thank god Cunningham hasn't scored there.

[TFC USA]

McCarty just curls one wide.

Only two commenters here in the last few minutes on an awesome game.

[twistedchinaman]

The dude sounds like a fucking cheerleader. He's so biased it's not even funny. Sounders this, and Sounders that.

He should've stuck with the cricket back in England, and even then he wasn't all that good...

Just goes to show that British commentator =/= good commentary...

[twistedchinaman]

I just don't see what's the big deal with the Jabulani ball...or is it because of the plastic pitch you don't notice the wildness?

[TFC USA]

Jabulani seems fine, I hate plastic pitches in nice stadiums.

[twistedchinaman]

Jabulani seems fine, I hate plastic pitches in nice stadiums.

Qwest Field, sad to say, was an okay stadium. Was just big and cavernous...I honestly didn't see anything special about it when I was there. Like a McStadium, I'm afraid.

[TFC USA]

12 mins left, still 1-0 Seattle.

[twistedchinaman]

12 to go...Seattle still making some chances despite being down to 10.

I'm waiting for the inevitable Cuntingham late strike, though...ohhhhh it's gonna happen.

[TFC USA]

Dallas is subbing in a defender....okay.....

[TFC USA]

Apparently this guy is an NFL and MLB fan so he might be an Americanized Brit already.

[twistedchinaman]

Apparently this guy is an NFL and MLB fan so he might be an Americanized Brit already.

I have the game on mute...so meh.

[twistedchinaman]

Oop, redo...

Seems like Riley did a little acting job there.

[TFC USA]

Riley could play for Spain with that dive

[TFC USA]

1-1 with a min to go.

[twistedchinaman]

Riley could play for Spain with that dive

And....what did we say about the inevitable late Dallas/Cuntingham strike?

Dallas seems to always find some way to strike late. It's an effin' bad habit of theirs...

[TFC USA]

Harris heads wide. Stoppage time.

[Blizzard]

And....what did we say about the inevitable late Dallas/Cuntingham strike?

Dallas seems to always find some way to strike late. It's an effin' bad habit of theirs...

That was a fantastic goal by Ferreira.

[twistedchinaman]

Looks like a green shirt down on the plastic pitch....oop, never mind...

Less than 90 seconds to go...

[twistedchinaman]

That was a fantastic goal by Ferreira.

Oh I know. I'm just saying they just find some way to get a late goal...

[twistedchinaman]

Make it final:

Seattle 1-1 Dallas.

[TFC USA]

1-1 the final. Fereira's goal saved Dallas.

Seattle is toast. I got a feeling they're headed for the cellar this season.

[MartinUtd]

shit... just found the feed in time for the final whistle

[twistedchinaman]

Is it now safe to say that the Slounders have the Sophomore Blues?

Discuss.

[MartinUtd]

Keller just needs a few more years to develop

[twistedchinaman]

1-1 the final. Fereira's goal saved Dallas.

Seattle is toast. I got a feeling they're headed for the cellar this season.

And I don't know how much Blaise Nkufo could do to turn it around...

Portland must be watching this game licking their lips with glee.

[TFC USA]

The rest of the season (barring a turnaround for the ages) will test how loyal these Sounders fans are to the team.

Let's see if there are empty seats.

[twistedchinaman]

^ Empty seats are going to become inevitable, believe you me.

Is 42 points going to be sufficient for the playoffs this year?

[TFC USA]

I think 38 should be enough.

Seattle is on 16 and would pretty much have to go on a hot tear and the way they play offense that's unlikely.

[rocker]

Keller just doesn't look as sharp this year.

[TFC USA]

Keller should hang the gloves up. Great career but he's just a little slow this year.

[twistedchinaman]

I think 38 should be enough.

Seattle is on 16 and would pretty much have to go on a hot tear and the way they play offense that's unlikely.

I don't know...I'd say 40 just to be safe.

[Blizzard]

Oh I know. I'm just saying they just find some way to get a late goal...

I was just commenting on the goal, not your comment. No worries.

[twistedchinaman]

Keller should hang the gloves up. Great career but he's just a little slow this year.

But who else is Seattle going to replace him with? Sutton?

[Pachuco]

Keller should hang the gloves up. Great career but he's just a little slow this year.

I think you have it in for him, he did absolutely nothing wrong today, in fact, he was quite good.

[rocker]

I think you have it in for him, he did absolutely nothing wrong today, in fact, he was quite good.

have you watched him the rest of the season though? he's had some howlers this year, while last year he was top notch.
he doesn't look as good as he did last year... not surprising considering he's 40 now.

[Shakes McQueen]

Keller just needs a few more years to develop

Even though I don't think Seattle's problems are Keller's doing, that was hilarious. :D

Seattle are now 2-1-6 in their last nine MLS games. I suspect they are cooked.

[rocker]

Are the Sounders gonna give all fans a free season's worth of tickets if they don't make the playoffs? ;)

[RoyalMidfielder]

But who else is Seattle going to replace him with? Sutton?

Marcus Hannahmen is from Seattle

[twistedchinaman]

Are the Sounders gonna give all fans a free season's worth of tickets if they don't make the playoffs? ;)

OHHHHHHH Snap!

:lol:

[twistedchinaman]

Marcus Hannahmen is from Seattle

Considering Wolverhampton is still in the Premier League, I have a hard time envisioning him wanting to leave for the Sounders just yet.

Maybe one more season in England, then if Keller retires then he'll return to Seattle.
