You guys even watching Champions League?

US teams looking good so far.

Red Bulls playing in a couple of days.

The group stage is nothing.

The problem has always been the knock-out round. Remember when all MLS teams getting good results in the first leg and then getting swept the next week by all Liga MX teams?

Portland Timbers v. Seattle Sounders tomorrow on ESPN2

Portland (who I root for) has been pretty bad this year. Seattle has pretty much owned Portland's soul for this entire season - hopefully Portland can rebound since it's at home for them. A win would really give more hope for Portland to potentially cling onto that 5th seed.

Most MLS teams just don't care about the CCL enough due to the way the league is set up and it becomes a nuisance for MLS teams instead. MLS teams don't have the depth to survive both the league play and CCL and with the long travel in midseason it becomes difficult..

I think Sporting KC has the best chance as they have the deepest team in the league and they've been rotating their players all season. Their guys will be relatively fresh in the competition while I think my team(NYRB) aren't gonna last as we have crap depth and Theirry Henry probably won't play in the group stages for the competition and if Henry doesn't play we don't have a chance..

"Major League Soccer Sunday: LA Galaxy win over Whitecaps in Carson, Chivas USA lose again"

Daily title from the DailyNews soccer blog

NE Revolution won the Jermaine Jones sweepstake, beating out Chicago Fire.

I guess it's unfortunate for him but there was no market for him as teams were unwilling to offer him $5mil per season. Personally, I think he's not worth the money(not even half) and I would look elsewhere with my DP slot. He's going to be 33 soon and I see him having alot of injury problems and it normally takes a while for the European based DP's to adjust to the league so we can consider this season a wash for him. He's pretty much an "enforcer" and I feel like you can find quality enforcers in the MLS for non-DP contracts like Dax McCarty who I wouldn't trade for Jones even if they made the same salary.. Not like Jones is going to spike up attendance either.

So yeah IMO it's a panic buy. 5 million is insane for Jones and it's a result of a great WC. If he didn't play in the World Cup for example I don't think he'd get 2 million truthfully.

Rest In Peace Luca Wyatt DeLaGarza

The Galaxy put in full effort and destroyed the Rapids 6-0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhQZcTH_F30

This DC v Chicago game is entertainment at its finest.

Fire lead 2-0, DC comes back to take it 3-2 and a screamer to tie up for the Fire. If Chicago doesn't get all 3 points, playoff hopes may die.

Good luck, Galaxy isn't dropping anymore points

Shield is ours.

Pirlo to Galaxy?

TFC came back from a 0-2 first half with a 3-2 win! Bradley so clutch!!
