Cunny missed a open net again!!!

[Yohan]

hahaha. cunty misses another sitter from 2 yards out. though it was a diving header effort

[dantdot]

Some things never change, Cunny decides to fail point blank again, this time with his head. Terrible turnout, move them to Montreal.

[Nuvinho]

Cooper learning bad habits from Cunny......should of finished that one.

[dantdot]

Cooper's messing with my fantasy team, in alone and blasts it over, I hate you Cooper.

[Yohan]

Cooper learning bad habits from Cunny......should of finished that one.

you'll not get DP money with finishing like that, Cooper. and you have to pad my fantasy team score

[GBV]

nice attendance. yikes.

edit: ha ha just saw your attendance dig, TFC_Chris.
classic.

[TheRenter]

here's another feed http://live.fanebi.com/ - the actual link is on the right side column

just that the audio on the first feed is kinda lacking

peace

[Yohan]

that was a pretty decent strike. dallas going to rue miss chances?

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

Dallas gas no Fans...come on Melnyk but the team and move them to Ottawa.

[Nuvinho]

best line from the announcer, "I think they know they are behind, don't they?".......talking about the Dallas players.....hahaha!!!

[Yohan]

2-0
wow. dallas severely going to regret putting the game away 1st half

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

and we get to play Dallas twice ina couple of weeks? promising

[Nuvinho]

Dallas has a weak back 4 and now with no Sala.

[FCBarcelona]

Of all the MLS teams i seen so far Dallas seams to be the worst, the back four is nowhere and todays game there no atmosphere.
speaking of atmosphere the seattle game last night vs REAL was poor not like the first game,
me i still think TFC fans are the best and our away support is gettin bigger and bigger .

Huh? I watched that game. The Atmosphere was electric I thought! What game were you watching?

[Yohan]

I didnt it was poor either. It was raw and uncoordinated.
Still, I heard couple of chants here and there and the fans got right behind their team when important situations came up

[kodiakTFC]

6,524 people watched the game at Pizza Hut Park today. FC Dallas, your pathetic.

[devioustrevor]

Did anyone else think that Chivas' blue kits looked really sharp?

That's a joke, Denver got hit with 17" of snow the day before their game and still got almost twice as many people to show up.

Dallas (or Frisco I should say) has the best pitch in the league, too bad their fans suck.

[TFC_Chris]

Overall, I would say that Chivas deserved the 3 points. I may be wrong though as I fell asleep at halftime. They just seemed to have a better grasp on the game. That and any chance they got was wasted or shot right at The Pie Eater.

I think Cunny is rubbing off on Cooper a little too much for him to miss a couple of those chances. As for the useless twat himself, how good do you feel when you need offensive pressure and get subbed out of the game as a striker. Sad, sad, sad.

[TFC_Chris]

Did anyone else think that Chivas' blue kits looked really sharp?

I completely agree. I thought they looked pretty sweet. Nothing fancy, but then again most jerseys in this league are too busy looking.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

Its time the league looks at moving the Dallas franchise....San Antonio maybe?
Or Cities like, Ottawa, St Louis, Miami, Tampa...cites that could support the team
better.

[devioustrevor]

I don't see Dallas moving. The owners need an anchor tenant at that facility they built in Frisco which I'm told produces so much ancillary income (from all the sports fields they built around it and the parking lot) that FC Dallas would have to be hemorrhaging money for the team to be losing money.

Despite there low attendance Dallas is one of the few profitable teams. The only team I see possibly moving is DC united all other teams have decent rent deals or own there own stadium. My prediction is DC will move to St. Louis in 2012 or sooner.

Everyone knocks suburban stadiums in the league but that is why FC Dallas is profitable. There are definitely two models to profitability in this league one is urban and one is suburban.

everyones too busy playing soccer, they cant watch it
