    Horrid performance in the second half.

    U23 team lost to Honduras to get bounced too.

    Not a good year

    who cares?

    Yep. What a disaster of a year. They better get their shit together since WC qualifying starts pretty soon.

    I'm not sure what JK throwing Johnson under the bus publicly is supposed to accomplish. Johnson is the only guy on this team playing in the Champions League right now so you'd think JK would love him.

    Johnson scores in the Champions League today. Good thing Klinsman hates him now.

    NYCFC coach got fired. Cuz the team didn't make the playoffs. In their first year of existence. When 2/3 of their DPs didn't turn up until August. Fun times! :lol:

    Klinsman is an asshole. I don't mind him still being the coach, but he should not be coach and technical director. Not with the form this team has shown over the past year.

    Yea we are owned by man city. Which is why they had all that money to spend on retired Europeans.
    That and ya know, the fact that we don't have a stadium. :fp:

    I would really like a rivalry between us and Philly. Mostly because I like saying "Phuck Philly". It rolls off the tongue nicely! :lol: the two teams were quite evenly matched.

    I'm wondering if there will be a push in SLC to get kreis back. Real just missed playoffs for the first time in, I think, 8 years.

    Not sure but I feel like he brought half of RSL to NYC.
    Some people were speculating bringing Petke in for NYCFC.

    I don't really follow MLS and I don't know who Petke is but I don't know who the hell thinks an expansion team will be good, right out of the gate.

    because I'm posting in the MLS thread?

    I could see how you'd think that.

    Those were your words for why soccer is popular, I certainly don't think that.

    I'm aware of it but don't like it.

    read something great in SI: soccer is 90 minutes of guys pretending they're hurt; rugby is 80 minutes of guys pretending they're not.

    Good one.

    The Rugby final was awesome though. Not just on the All Blacks bandwagon, I lived in New Zealand a couple times as a kid.
