“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Thierry Henry out a month with a hammy strain. NY is so screwed

DCU v SJ tonight may be the game of the week
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
If DC lose in San Jose (which is possible, San Jose are in good form) they'll be looking for a result in Toronto.

DeRo puts up DC 1-0 with a good strike just outside the box. He's hitting form. 2 goals 5 assists so far this season

Looks like a very balanced team going forward.Originally Posted by Yohan
Happy for Ben Olsen, one of the more likable guys in the league... and man DCU was struggling for a while there.
Edit: asides from that I have too root against SJ every game because they have side show bob, who is the biggest cunt in the entire league.
good to see DC's patience in Ben Olsen paying off finally. It's been two years since Olsen became DC's head coach. (and they stunk a lot in those two years)

Oh god sideshow bob just scored
DC's defence pulls a TFC and Lenhart and Wondo scores. how do you leave Wondolowski not marked from 6 yrs from goal?

3-1 SJ... DC's defence suddenly looks worse than TFC defence. 3 goals given up in 1 half

^ Funny, as they were touting their improvement in that area earlier. Dejan Jakovic can't get a game because the guys in front of him have been pretty consistent.
The good part about this game is: nobody is interested in defending.
what a bicycle kick attempt by DeRo from PK spot and Jon Busch with wonderful save. this game is so much fun to watch (well, after snoozefest of TFC game)

San Jose look like the real deal this year. I'm happy for Sam.
DC will not arrive in Toronto in a good mood.
and a diving header from Woolard have DC pull back one. 3-2 SJ. entertaining game

Yohan, would it be a stretch then, to say that having patience with a coach could be considered a virtue?
I think that DC might have deserved more from their game on Wednesday. Busch has the save of the week for sure on that Dero bicycle kick.
I'm amazed that LA decided to not start Beckham or Keane for their game this Wednesday against Seattle and their poor form as a result showed. I'm thinking Bruce wanted his team to prove to these guys that the team didn't need them and prove a point.... but it backfired because LA didn't produce much offence without their 2 dp's.
Montero's first goal of the season will probably also win the goal of the week, the camera angles on that goal were sublime, but Dero will give him a run for that honour I think.
Two great games to kick off the week! Can't wait to see what the rest of the week holds.
Here's to TFC getting there first win!
No one watching Chivas v Chicago tonight?
Hell of an ending, Marco Pappa with a 20-yard blast to win it at 2:30 of et.
Hassli just scores in extra time to clinch it for Vancouver 2-1 vs San Jose. good game with good goals

Just watched LA-NY. Love the LA kits. The sash was sorely missing. And I think I might be the only person on earth who really like the RBNY kit with the navy top and yellow shorts. It just looks so weird that its great!
Mtl wins 2-0 at KC. what is going on lol

I don't know, but I don't like it.
Oh would you fuckin' look at that.
Vancouver wins against a quality team and Montreal gets a road win against the best team in the East.
So we're not only clearly the worst team in MLS we might be the worst pro team in North America.
