[OgtheDim]

I'm going to try to catch some of Orlando vs NYCFC, just to see how those 60K of Lion fans bring it.

Houston vs. Columbus cause all the prognosticators are saying Columbus is a for real top 2 East team while Houston keeps yabbering away about their manager.




Seattle vs NER has lost a bit of lustre with Jones out with a sports hernia

[Section_105]

Anyone know if LA/CHI will be shown in Canada tonight? so far it seems only options is MLSLIVE. would be nice to see first kick.

TO of course with a whole lotta pints after the frustration of not knowing if they would play.

[Wince]

I'm going to try to catch some of Orlando vs NYCFC, just to see how those 60K of Lion fans bring it.

Yeah, it's a curiosity thing for me. I want to see how the Lions fans welcome their team to MLS. Plus there's the the whole Kaka vs. Villa thing. Also curious to see what ESPN does with their regular 5pm Sunday game in terms of coverage and presentation.

EDIT: Anyone currently in Newfoundland read this board? I wouldn't mind watching from a pub with any like-minded folks. I tend to get jealous hearing of all your viewing parties in T-Dot. Probably a question for /r/MLS.

[barticusz]

LA vs Fire tongiht

Montreal's vs DC, TFC vs. Caps tomorrow

OCSC vs NYCFC on sunday. busy weekend for soccer.. Love it.

[OgtheDim]

Anybody figured out how many games are actually available on MLS Live this weekend?

Unless you have a VPN, probably zero. Anything on TSN1,2,3, OR 4 is blacked out this season as a "national" broadcast.

It's total bullshit, but if your computer says you're in Florida, you should be okay. Alternately, get adblock and try searching "cricfree"....

[Brooker]

Soccer Club vs Football Club.... barring a draw, I'll know what to call it.

Oh, I stream, just was hoping to be able to go back and see things....one of the best bits about mlslive.

Looking at TSN's schedule, they seem to be only carrying the Van TFC and the Seattle NER games. :fluffy:

I checked in my MLS Live account, and selected "Are these games available?" The only one that's listed as being blocked for the whole weekend is the TFC - Vancouver game. Not sure how reliable that is, but generally that worked for me in the past.

Otherwise the VPNs seem to solve that problem.

I had very mixed results with VPNs last year, so much so that I gave up on MLS Live. Rogers owns the Jays and partially owns TFC. Yet MLB At.Bat doesn't black out any Jays games - so that's where my money went this year.

MLS Live is the way to go.

Basically $75 American ( Even though we give them all their oil) and $100 Canadian (Because we're too stupid to have our own refineries).

Use a VPN service and you're off!

[jloome]

What does "scrubbing your machine entail exactly"?

Getting a good cleaner like PC Tools that will delete all extraneous crap from your computer on demand and spot malware that your security might miss. Streaming sites tend to sell ad space really cheap via adserver businesses like Google ads, and these sometimes contain malware.

[Auzzy]

You have to be careful with the cleaners too though, some can cause more damage than they fix.

I deal with stuff like cleaning up computers professionally at work. I've never actually gotten anything bad from a streaming sports site myself, although the ads are awful. But that's probably because I'm scrupulous with not clicking on anything unnecessary, or installing anything that might get offered. Plus make sure to have Windows patched; Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, & Java fully updated, and Java blocked from running in the browser. Any of those things out-of-date -- that's the best way to get something nasty off a bad website, sometimes even w/o clicking.

Another guy at work on the other hand, keeps on infecting his computer with streaming sports sites. I've already cleaned his PC a couple of times, I have no idea how he manages to do that. Oh well.

[OgtheDim]

So for today's viewing pleasure

3:00 pm DCU vs. Limp Acts

Interesting to see where DCU sits this season - many touting them for continued success. We play them twice this season, both games in June. Hopefully they are on a dip by then.


4:00 pm Philly vs. Rapids

Two teams touted to end up out of the playoffs. Research for Philly as we play them the first week of May. Rapids we don't see until September and who knows what they will look like by then.



8:30 pm Houston vs. Columbus


Houston in transition and in tough until Torres shows up mid season. Columbus touted by many to finish top 2. After our game today, worth seeing to figure out how we should play next week's game.


8:30 FC Dallas vs. Quakes


Meh....


10:30 pm Portland vs. RSL

Well the Tifo will be interesting and we do play RSL in our 3rd game. But, I for one am going to wait for the highlights.

NYCFC at Orlando in about 15 mins. 60k at Orlando

[barticusz]

The atmosphere in Orlando looks amazing. Really glad to have them join the MLS family.

[OgtheDim]

And pretty much everybody is in purple. Impressive.

[Yohan]

and they showed up prior to kickoff!

[QBall]

Wonder how long Orlando can maintain the numbers in the stands, especially when the team starts losing?

[OgtheDim]

And, we get 2 expansion teams to watch.

These two teams are sooo far from gelling.

Ouch! That was some knock to the head for Saunders.
But he stays in the game. Dude has a tough noggin.

[QBall]

Holy shit I cold hear Saunders' head hit the post. That was nasty! I find it hard to believe he's allowed to stay in. Aren't there concussion protocols?

[OgtheDim]

Saunders should be out of the game. There is no way he should be in there after that.

This game is a bit sloppy.

Orlando is looking really good IMO

I think its been a pretty entertaining game!

Kaka seems to be winning the battle of the DPs so far. NYC needs to open the field to get Villa some room to do his thing.

yup. Kaka has looked pretty good. With more time to gel with his teammates, their offence should do alright.

[OgtheDim]

They are giving him space to work in. NYCFC isn't really using a DM. In two weeks Orlando play at home against Vancouver.

That is going to be some track meet.

[QBall]

Saunders with the gash on the head. He's going to leave this game brain-damaged.

[QBall]

I think Shelton is amking an early case for Rookie of the Year.

[Jack]

Gotta love the ref giving out cards for diving g:D

[Ajax TFC]

Ridiculous reffing. Three yellows for diving, and all three times there was clear contact.

[OgtheDim]

And I disagree Ajax. Shea and that last one clear dives.

[RealG-TFC]

Ridiculous reffing. Three yellows for diving, and all three times there was clear contact.

Only tuned into this a few minutes ago soni don't know about the other two but that last one on Higuita seemed like the right call. It looks like he threw himself just before the contact, which itself was minimal.

[Jack]

Ridiculous reffing. Three yellows for diving, and all three times there was clear contact.
Brek Shea's looked like a legit dive and Higuita has been flopping all over the place, so he probably wasn't getting any benefit of the doubt. I didn't see the other one. I'll have to watch them again.

So mediocre, so deserved a red.

I think Orlando has Vancouver syndrome, just trying to use speed and nothing else.

[RealG-TFC]

Glad we didn't get Collin, what a thug.

[anto7]

Red card for Collin.........well there is a shocker

[jloome]

I think Kaka is out of gas early.

[QBall]

Kakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QBall]

Ugly goal but at this point...

[jloome]

Then again....

[flatpicker]

Glad they tied it. Good for the game between two expansion sides. Good for Kaka and Orlando fans. But also good for us in the standings to minimize those points.

[OgtheDim]

Probably the best result for the league.

Crack down on diving, good crowd in Orlando goes away happy, home DP scores, away DP gets an assist, NYCFC goes away happy and Collin told he can't be a naughty boy against the DP's.

[QBall]

Guess we see now if the Henry free Red Bulls can still be as strong.

[Ajax TFC]

Brek Shea's looked like a legit dive and Higuita has been flopping all over the place, so he probably wasn't getting any benefit of the doubt. I didn't see the other one. I'll have to watch them again.
For me, a dive is when there's no contact and the player goes down. I feel like carding should be reserved for when a player fakes contact. I'll have to watch them again to see if any of them stuck their leg out into the challenge to force contact, but IMO when a defender dives into a challenge, misses the ball, and clips the attacker, the benefit of the doubt should go to the attacker, even if that means simply leaving it as a no call. It just pisses me off to see defenders get away with hacking players down, while the refs decide to take a stand against embellishment.

BTW, who all was complaining that TFC didn't get Collin? Yeah, I'm glad that hack doesn't play for our team

OCSC-NYFC was a terrible match to watch. The quality on the pitch was all over the place. I'll obviously give them the benefit of the doubt because they are expansion teams, but it looked like no one was on the same page and both teams were unable to string anything together properly all match. I'm also starting to really dislike Orlando with all the diving that they do (the first two dives were correct in eyes, but the last one is questionable to me).

I'm so jealous of the coverage the American teams get. They actually make it seem like their broadcasting a top product that people care about. In Canada? We show the games between curling matches.

First impressions are important, and last night was the first game for a lot of new TFC fans. Anyways great coverage fox, seriously.

What a strike by Lloyd Sam. 1-1

[MartinUtd]

I'm rooting for the draw, but if there has to be a winner I'd rather it be NYRB. I don't see them being as competitive this year.

Gotta keep that reputation up. MLS is the league where being "Toledo'd" is a verb. :yellow:

[Oldtimer]

I gotta say I really enjoyed the NY City - Orlando match. Even though they were two expansion sides, the quality is way beyond expansion teams just a few years ago, and Kaka really made things interesting, despite losing a step at his age. Kreis was very smart tactically to open up the width of play in the second half. The fans were something else and 60K+ of them! I don't remember MLS getting these kind of numbers, except for Seattle and double-headers with US-Mexico MNT games.

[molenshtain]

This should be some good quality for my sunday MLS fix

[OgtheDim]

I can already see a difference in quality with these two teams and some of the other games this weekend.

And the difference between this crowd and the Orlando one is the consistency of the chanting and the involvement of the whole stadium.

Even though they've been established for 5 years now, you really need to credit the engineering of their stadium. Century Link Field (or whatever its called now) bottles in the noise like nothing else I've ever heard.

Just watched the highlights, Toledo is such a dumb ass. He would rather pull the 2nd yellow rather than let NYRB play the obvious advantage.

[jazzy]

Anybody figured out how many games are actually available on MLS Live this weekend?

Weird but all were available , except Tfc of course. Watching Seattle now, watched Orlando and then red bulls...... Great reference at Seattle called numerous dives in the box. Then there was Dempsey clear dive in the box gets the call. We're back to insane inconsistencies from the refs.

[OgtheDim]

As a defender, you have to attack incoming crosses. Nobody but Martins did and its 2-0.

Bunbury keeps trying that flick on the right side of goal. One of these days he'll get it within two metres of the target.

I didn't see the yellows for simulation, very likely that the calls are inconsistent. However I just saw the call for Dempsey's PK, are you sure that's a dive? Looked like a pretty good hack at Dempsey's legs by Agudelo to me?

[Auzzy]

Watching the Seattle - NE game on MLS Live. Oddly, they hardly show any replays, even in situations where it would really be warranted.

[ManUtd4ever]

Wow, Seattle is putting on a clinic. They're just toying with the Revs now.

[Yohan]

that was some top level passing sequence. Dempsey probably never had an easier goal

[ag futbol]

Collin should be given marching orders for every one of those he makes.

Lol at Toledo not playing the obvious advantage on that foul. Man is that guy clueless. GOTW by Sam I think, as much as Gio to Altidore was a better team goal.

Lol at Toledo not playing the obvious advantage on that foul. Man is that guy clueless. GOTW by Sam I think, as much as Gio to Altidore was a better team goal.

We're gonna get the US National team fan boost this year with Jozy. He'll win GOTW, book it.

Meanwhile I'm just sitting here wondering what the hell I was thinking making Zardes my fantasy captain instead of Martins.

TFC only East team to win vs. the West on opening week. Love it.

Maybe I misunderstand the ruling, but why was Dempsey not called for offside? The pass to him was forwards and only the goalkeeper was left in front(no other defenders).

If you are behind the ball, you can not be offside.
