V New England
not that it matters league wise, but it would be nice to go out with a win

But just in case you're worried about missing out on all the other action in the world of sport, here are a few others that are playing at the same time:
O Higgins vs. Huachipatocl
Luverdense vs. Oestebr
Vila Nova FC vs. Sampaio Correa
IJF Judo World Junior Championships
International Snooker Championship
I'll actually be at the Montreal Impact game for work. So I suppose my season has one game left.
And everyone should be a San Jose fan too. We have to get Chivas as low as possible for our 1st pick. Damn Limpact tie was the worst outcome possible as they will have 3rd overall pick now.
Yes. Bale is out. But Ramos is fit.

I would love to have prom/rel in this league. Not that it effects us now.
And DeRo is suspended.
Last game of the season. Of course I'll be watching. Of course I'll be down at Joe's.

Vanney says Bradley will be fit to play Saturday. #tfc
The way I see it, this is a game that will be a proving ground to those players on the fringe - who wants to stay around badly enough and will play their hearts out? Regardless, it won't be enough as NER will be fine-tuning their roster with an eye to the playoffs. I forsee a NER win or a 0-0 draw.
Jesus H Christ, everybody is out but Bradley? And Vanney wants to play him? On that astroturf? In a totally meaningless game?
What the hell does Bez think his job is?
Bradley's job in life is not to take stupid career risks in order to help Vanney keep his job.
Bradley had better tear a hangnail between now and Saturday.
No wonder Klinsmann is pissed.

Bez is grasping at any straw to present a positive light. At least with a win, he can say 'look, our pts total is better than previous best, so we are on right track'.
Dude knows he's on a very short leash. And he's playing the politician game to the max. In a lot of ways, he's worse than Mo Johnston
Years have gone by and Ive 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 dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

In the States, this is being sold as Jones vs. Bradley.
He's going to play people.
This is life with a big US MNT DP. Get used to it.
He's not just ours.

It didn't help us in the standings this year, either. I guess I do have an agenda - I don't want anything (such as saying this was their best season ever) to be able to gloss over the terrible job that TFC management has done this season. I want to see them called out at next week's press conferences and held accountable for their actions, if only for my own catharisis after dealing with this season.
I do wonder if TFC 2009 would have won more if there were an extra 4 games that season instead of 30.
Now saying that is just plain cruel. Plus I'd be hard-pressed to imagine anyone in North American footy more slimy than old Judas (or have you forgotten that old Celtic/Rangers thing?). Plus I doubt that some of the corrupt things whispered about Mo would apply to Bez. Political? You have to be to be a GM. Show me one that isn't (unless he's just a capologist and contracts guy like Lagerway at RSL).

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Reason to go to this game? Maybe you'll get to hold the board and stand between the coaches!!!

Needed, 4th official for this game.
Imagine that. A referee involved in a fraud scandal.
That should be their problem. MLS has to decide whether it wants to be a real league or a David Beeckham tour style dog and pony show.
You buy a ticket to a meaningless last game of the regular season, you get what you get.
How on earth are we reasoning Legerway to be "just a capologist", especially if the comparison is basically an inferior version of the same thing?

I wasn't saying that he has to play because the Revs sold 30,000 tickets but from a TFC optics pov.
Given Bradley hasn't trained all week due to Doctors appointments if he didn't play on Saturday you don't think that some of the fan base would be rushing to conclusions and there would be more speculation and controversy?
Not suggesting you're onside with it, just venting my fustration.
You'd be surprised how dumb the crowd can be when the single focus of marketing is a couple of stars without regard for the game / league itself. Fans outside toronto booed / were hugely upset when they showed up and David Beckham couldn't play due to injury. Nothing MLS could do, they marketed the game in advance and becks was injured after. The under intelligent masses did not care.
