I think you mean USL. But I understand what you mean. I have my doubts about them implementing it. Same reason why they have playoffs, drafts etc. They are trying to please the typical American fan. They don't want to deviate [or at least I don't think they do] from that plan set forth by MLB, NHL, NFL, and NBA. So I would be hard pressed to think that MLS would ever have plans for that.

M1ZZ0U · 04-06-2008, 02:30 AM

Ah yes, USL.

I do wonder though if there are any interviews floating around the web regarding the topic at hand. Do you recall reading any at some point?

Scuba Steve · 04-06-2008, 02:35 AM

No, I have not read any interviews from MLS about this, but I don't know how open they are to discussing things such as that.

The only time I have read about MLS and relegation, was on soccerbyives.net

It was several months ago, and I can't remember his points, but he was going on about how it would never happen.

Since Bradley took over managing...they have looked well. Winning the Gold Cup with these players was a huge 1st accomplishment in their first tournament. Theyve had good wins in South Africa, Switzerland, and Poland, and beat Mexico and Sweden.

It hasnt been bad at all...theyve been playing at an extremely high level.

Gangsta Flamingo · 05-06-2008, 04:24 AM

the DC vs dynamo has been postponed because of the rain it was raining pretty hard

The field was horrible puddles every where

Scuba Steve · 05-06-2008, 04:25 AM

Yeah, I turned it on and saw all the rain. Disappointing, really wanted to have a match to have a go at Houston.

ChelseablueDCU26 · 05-06-2008, 05:00 AM

Yea it sucked actually being there too

Scuba Steve · 05-06-2008, 05:02 AM

Thats unfortunate. I suppose you at least stayed there for a while? You have season tickets right? How much did they put you back if you do?

Jordanjeter7P · 05-06-2008, 05:10 AM

So when will this match be played? I wanted to see Houston win but that is not going to happen today.

elementkid1021 · 08-06-2008, 03:28 AM

fantastic win today for dc united coming from behind,on the road, with 9 players. anybody else think there shouldn't have been a double red card?

Scuba Steve · 08-06-2008, 03:30 AM

shoot.... what channel was the game on?..... and why were there 2 reds at the same time?

Gangsta Flamingo · 08-06-2008, 03:33 AM

EMILIO!!!!!!!!

Gallardo and namoff got the red cards

Scuba Steve · 08-06-2008, 03:36 AM

I was "watching" the game on soccernet, so I "saw" the goals and cards. But do you know why both gallardo and prideaux were sent off at the same time?

ChelseablueDCU26 · 08-06-2008, 03:54 AM

Prideaux kicked Gallardo then Gallardo head butted him

And I mean "kick" and "headbutt"

Chicago Fire 1-2 D.C. United

good nite

a wussy fight that i thought they both should have been warned for, not sent straight off. the other red was definitely deserved.

Scuba Steve · 08-06-2008, 03:56 AM

Lol. oh well. Huge three points on the road. Should have been 6 out of 6 from the last two games, but 4 out of 6 on the road against rivals is pretty good.

Scuba Steve · 08-06-2008, 04:24 AM

4 games tonight, and 7 red cards? **** refs, or poor sportsmanship/playing?

elementkid1021 · 08-06-2008, 04:27 AM

most of it's probably poor refs.

Scuba Steve · 08-06-2008, 04:31 AM

Yeah, well from the sounds of it, the two straight reds in our game were questionable.

Y R U so Chunky · 08-06-2008, 04:37 AM

One of the few times I actually celebrated when DC scored.

Scuba Steve · 08-06-2008, 04:38 AM

You should do it more often, its really fun!

Y R U so Chunky · 08-06-2008, 04:39 AM

No, actually I tasted a little vomit in my mouth after I did.

Scuba Steve · 08-06-2008, 04:41 AM

Well, the first time might be a little awkward for strangers, but after a while, that goes away, and it just becomes enjoyable.
