[Titty Meat]

Nobody cares

[Saul Good]

Nobody cares

Goes into soccer threads to say nobody cares about soccer...




















...posts endlessly about a presidential candidate that nobody voted for.

[pr_capone]

KC beat what was essentially Man U's 3rd string. Woopty Doo.

You seem to be confused on multiple levels.

Your critiques are about as shitty as your comparisons. When is the last time I posted about a particular candidate? Seriously your vadge bleeds in everythread.

[Predarat]

They beat ManU? Even I know who ManU is. They are the New York Stankees of English Soccer.

Pretty much. Though they seem to be part of a group that could carry the title along with Chelsea and Man City.

Rooney & Chicharito weren't there, sure, (because of the World Cup) but it was hardly a 3rd string team for them. Prime-of-his-career-Berbatov, Welback, Cleverly, etc. all played at Arrowhead

[|Zach|]

Vadgeina? Seriously?

LMAO

[loochy]

we might as well just do away with all champions league competitions and just give the title to SKC

Nani as well.

KC with a 10 man side who subbed on a lot of our own non starter players.

[Buck]

Cool vid. I want to get into MLS.

Maybe I'll go for SKC.

Actually CONCACAF Champions League play for Sporting Kansas City continues tomorrow. :thumb:

They're the somewhat sexy a popular pick. In a second tier behind Portland and Seattle.

Speaking of Portland and Seattle this is what their game looked like last night.

MLS is minor leagues for soccer

[Reaper16]

MLS is minor leagues for soccer

Which means nothing as a point of comparison. There are so many, many soccer leagues in the world. It is nowhere near as clean of a break between 'minors' and 'majors' as we enjoy with baseball leagues.

why?

because you are trolling?

[Molitoth]

I was going to mention that. I was at this game.

English premiere has the best setup out of any sport.

what do you mean by "setup"?

Promotion/relegation? Almost every country except the US has it. It's not unique to England.

LMAO @ the flames

Chiefs have flames this year. Actually looked pretty sweet when they ran out of the tunnel.

Flames always crack me up as way too over the top.

Down to brass tacks, I've followed ManU too long for Sporting to supplant them yet. But otherwise, it's like my fandom of the Royals and the Cards. Royals are my first love, but Cards have been entertaining and inspiring me firsthand for nearly 20 years now. So I root for both, until . . . again brass tacks and they face off.

Really looking forward to watching more and more of Sporting, and rooting against Seattle.

REALLY REALLY looking forward to ABC's Premiere League coverage.

HDTV is really the best thing to happen to soccer in it's history in America, IMO.

That said, re: the KC v Montreal clip. Man, oh man, does skying a shot inside the 18 bug me. Second only to missed PKs in my pet peeve portfolio. Missing wide is one thing. Right to the keeper is one thing. Sending a shot that close in into the stands over the crossbar, unless you are seriously out of shape in your approach drives me CRAZY!!!

SKC may make you pull your hair out a bit. Good attacking flow through the field and great at chance creation but suspect finishing has kept them from being MLS Cup Champions the past few years.

Yea, that touch is a bit silly.

What is a Manchester United?

[|Zach|]

What is a Manchester United?

The most valuable sports club in the world.

You can have your own if you have 3 billion dollars laying around.

The 2nd most valuable sports club in the world.

FYP

What is a Manchester United?

It's a New York Yankees that wears shorts, kicks around a ball on grass,and talks funny.

[TribalElder]

lol, a victory over the practice squad, now that's gangsta!

You're mistaken.

[Superbowltrashcan]

The flames were sort of a one time thing from what I understand, based on them playing the "Timbers". Kinda like when we Wiz on the Chicago Fire...

Oh. I thought it was because Kane was in town as a special guest.
