Livestrong is really loud tonight. Good show by the supporters, aside from booing Davis as he came off (seriously?)

yeah, this. pretty cool for MLS

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Exciting and open first half. Hope they keep the tempo up.

 

[Nesotenso]

Houston is going to miss Davis's left leg.

 

[Slizz]

Unfortunate about Davis. This game has been really exciting and the crowd is really into it. Hope the second half continues with that trend.

By the way, this is the last MLS or US Soccer game on a Fox channel until at least 2015.

Fox may keep showing Gold Cup, CCL, US Open Cup, but NBC/Versus takes over Fox's MLS/USSF contract from 2012-14

 

[Slizz]

So ESPN solely has the rights now? Or is there another company involved?

NBC signed a deal with MLS.

Interesting.... If anything I like NBC's presentation more than Fox's.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

The next three years will really decide to what extent the MLS improves financially and television wise.

 

[sefskillz]

so huge. HUGE

edit: and then camargo butchers one.

 

[sazabirules]

How did Houston not score again there? I've always thought Sporting's defense has been its weakness this year.

 

[Clydefrog]

bah. is anyone rooting for Houston?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Sef is.

 

[sefskillz]

bah. is anyone rooting for Houston?

yea, this guy

 

[sazabirules]

I have to agree with the commentators. This official has been pretty decent. Most referees employed by the USSF are horrible.

 

[Nesotenso]

Not looking good for us. Officials have been good.

If Bravo is fit, i would out him in for Bunbury.

 

[sazabirules]

Why hasn't Vermes put in any offensive subs besides Arnaud?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Saza do you post on BS?

 

[Clydefrog]

welp.

 

[sefskillz]

wooooo

 

[Nesotenso]

well there goes the game and season. sucks that it comes down to one game. Hope LA wins the cup for their work in the regular season.

 

[sazabirules]

Saza do you post on BS?

I don't post much in MLS related stuff. Mainly USA/Yanks Abroad.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Typical Houston match. Hopefully the next two weeks gives Davis time to recover.

 

[sazabirules]

Kinnear wants a third Cup.

LA should give Montreal Ricketts so they can spend some money on a decent striker.

 

[aperman]

I'm only home to watch the first half of the LA game.

Question: Should I just view the scores while I'm out (I'm going to a gala screening at AFI Fest) or come home blind and watch the second half?

On the itinerary for the night as well: Hell on Wheels, 2 episodes of The Walking Dead.

decisions, decisions...

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

They are seriously going to have someone that has only commentated one game all season and doesn't give shit about MLS call this game.

 

[platypotamus]

If Montreal doesn't want him, Seattle will take him...

Who?

He's a great MLS keeper. I just think LA would be a better team if they had a decent partner for Keane. Chad Barrett is their next best forward.

 

[Oozer3993]

Typical Houston match. Hopefully the next two weeks gives Davis time to recover.

Brad Davis just told me "freak injury" likely is "torn quad" and is "probably out for the final".

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Darke instead of the other British dude.

Montreal has a pretty good keeper in Bush but who knows how we will handle the MLS.

I thought he has done a few of the ESPN matches this year.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I wonder if Alexi reads BS, there is a thread about how he only talks about set pieces and he tweeted during the Houston game that he loves set pieces. lol

 

[Clydefrog]

Galaxy gonna win this

 

[Nesotenso]

How long does ESPN have a contract to broadcast MLS matches? Is Versus/ NBC Sports Network in more households than Fox Soccer/ Deportes ?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Until 2015

 

[Clydefrog]

oh shit, what a chance!

 

[Clydefrog]

oooh, soft penalty.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I will give no opinion on that.

 

[Clydefrog]

:-O

 

[Heretic]

Back down to earth...

 

[Judderman]

What an end to the half!

 

[Heretic]

What an end to the half!

At the edge of my seat!

jesus christ, barrett...


lol @ the sporting fans, i remember seeing that on TV earlier

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Crazy first half finish and Galaxy already puts a strong counter on RSL. I really hope RSL can settle in and play their game. There needs to be justice for that ridiculous first half penalty.

Edit: Well at least Galaxy earned that goal legitimately...

 

[Clydefrog]

good goal, magee!

amazing shot from espindola.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Beckham still has it, man. It may come in spurts, but what a beautiful pass for that goal.

 

[Heretic]

Magee is so freaking clutch!
