Near full slate of games today. Here is the rundown:

Toronto FC :: New England (4 PM)
DC United :: Real Salt Lake (7:30 PM)
Dallas :: Los Angeles (8:30 PM)
Houston :: San Jose (8:30 PM)
Kansas City :: Chivas USA (8:30 PM)
Colorado :: Seattle Sounders (9:30 PM)

And clearly the goal of the week was from Santino Quaranta. Considering the timing of the goal, and the fact that it was a grass cutter from 20+ yards out, makes it an easy choice.

Who won it anyways?

dena · 23-05-2009, 03:56 PM

Pretty sure it was Quaranta.

redbullnewyork · 23-05-2009, 03:58 PM

Do you guys think that espn will get more mls games since they dropped their champions league license? I'm talking about next season ofcourse.

Scuba Steve · 23-05-2009, 03:58 PM

Damn right, United fans know how to stuff the ballots. Thats how Pontius won the week before, considering that his goal was not that good anyways.

No, because the two don't ever interfere with each other. In fact, I think it seems like ESPN wants less to do with soccer, at least thats what I get from them losing the CL rights.

I have doubts though that their coverage of MLS will be expanding anytime soon though.

dena · 23-05-2009, 04:08 PM

Didnt ESPN reduce their overall coverge prior to this season, Dropping the Game of the Week for a game every 2-3 weeks?

redbullnewyork · 23-05-2009, 04:11 PM

yea, was thinking that they would schedule more games during the week in like the champions league time slots

Scuba Steve · 23-05-2009, 04:14 PM

No, they never had a game every week. They may have lessen the load a bit (maybe 3-4 games), but the main change was that the game of the week was not going to just be on Thursday.

Now its either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

Hmmm...... looking at it, maybe the did drop a lot more games than I thought. No game this week, and there wasn't one last week either if I recall correctly.

dena · 23-05-2009, 04:17 PM

Ah, I see.

I also noticed that ESPN hadn't broadcast a game in a while, but if you look here, starting next week their schedule gets stacked.

Scuba Steve · 23-05-2009, 04:22 PM

That looks pretty good, although, a bit disappointing that they only have one in September. But ESPN has now added the Friday night college football game, and so that makes it tough to deal with.

We are on the game three times, but none after July Fourth.

dena · 23-05-2009, 10:39 PM

TFC 3-1 New England

Joseph (13')
Guevara (14',70')
de Rosario (67')

In progress, Stefen Frei kicks the ball long.

Scuba Steve · 23-05-2009, 10:52 PM

Yes he does. Thats why he got an assist for the DeRo goal against us.

Scuba Steve · 23-05-2009, 11:29 PM

3-1 win for Toronto. Good victory for them, while New England have not won since April 4th.

Scuba Steve · 23-05-2009, 11:41 PM

Epic Fail lineup coming up -- here we go.

Wicks, Namoff, Jakovic, Burch, Quaranta, Jacobson, Simms, Fred, Gomez, Emilio, Moreno

Subs: Kocic, Janicki, John, McTavish, Pontius, Wallace, N'Silu

Retirement team out there. Emilio + Gomez + Moreno spells trouble to me.

EDIT

RSL starting 11: Rimando, Beltran, Olave, Borchers, Russell, Johnson, Morales, Beckerman, Grabavoy, Mathis, Findley

dena · 23-05-2009, 11:50 PM

Findley to score a brace.
----------------------------------------

Just saw this while browsing around.

Chicago centerback Bakary Soumare has been named to the roster by his country Mali for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers Sun Jun 7 v Ghana & Tue Jun 21 v Benin.

Yeah, he wanted to represent us but could not get his papers in time.

Scuba Steve · 24-05-2009, 01:01 AM

Yeah, that Bak news is old Dena. Where have you been?? Good for him though -- its nice to have players that are getting call ups in the league

DeacsWF · 24-05-2009, 01:01 AM

Oh dear...that was an atrocious miss.

dena · 24-05-2009, 01:04 AM

I knew he had already been capped, I just saw the post on another site and decided to slap it on here

, wondering if it would cause him to miss games for Chicago.

Scuba Steve · 24-05-2009, 01:04 AM

Yeah, Fred should have done better with the chance. While it was unlikely that he was going to score with a defender on the line and Rimando recovering quickly, he should have at least got it on target.

Fine. He probably will, which is why the league need to honor those dates.

Scuba Steve · 24-05-2009, 01:24 AM

Wicks actually made a nice save on the Findley chance. You would have fancied Findley to score there though.

BMxJoga · 24-05-2009, 01:33 AM

Yeah, what do you guys think of Findley for our NT.

PaulieMM · 24-05-2009, 01:35 AM

So this is the first MLS game I'm watching this year.

DC looks pretty well organized for the most part.
