Good morning...

Crap that sucks. Especially considering the way Dallas players (and some fans in the stadium) were treating Kandji after his injury. Knowing what happens on this play, it's a bit sickening to the stomach to watch the replay: http://www.mlssoccer.com/videos?catid=114&id=10737

So does Ihemelu get some kind of disciplinary action for that? It was a very late & dangerous challenge.

Is the Expansion Draft available on a stream somewhere? Do they just do it over the phone or is there an actual event where they get up to say who they've picked?

I like how he goes on about how the MLS Cup isnt the right place to show discontent for our ownership, only to go on to say that our ownership is horrible, will never try to field a winner, and that essentially we are right to be furious at ownership.

Why do people keep linking to bigsoccer blogs like theyre 'news' though?

From CBC's article...

"FIFA's executive committee will announce which countries will host the 2018 and 2002 World Cups."

OOPS! lol

That's a bad miss by the editor...

Nope. In 2008 FIFA said they are actually being announced at the same time:

Thumbs up for this one.

Listen...4 years of submediocrity as well as abuse by the FO has taken it's toll. Would anyone expect otherwise. I think we all agree TFC the organization has ruined a good thing they had going. Fans are not impervious to abuse and thus have responded accordingly. If there is a fanbase anywhere that would take the nonsense this FO has dished out over 4 years and still supported their team like we did in year 1, please show them to me, because I would gladly dub them the "greatest fans" not just in MLS, but the world.

Sometimes the best fans are the ones that put their foot down and say enough is enough. Without standing up for yourselves as fans, you could be hurting the team in the long run as the ownership will just feel like they can coast without really putting forth the effort for success.

I think I equally respect the TFC fans that walked away because MLSE fucked them over one too many times as I do the ones like me that just can't leave the team. Both messages are strong and understandable.
