The whole temporary stadiums thing sounds annoying.

There's not really any way around it, and if it helps drum up more fans in different areas, it's a good thing. I read somewhere that they were just going to use one or two temp stadiums (one for big matches and one for small), but that hasn't been confirmed.
 
2010 is shaping up to be a crazy year.

You've got 2-4 more teams basically filling MLS. Then you've got RBNY, DC United, and San Jose getting their stadiums. Plus the World Cup. What a glorious year that's going to be. Hell, my team might have even fixed themselves proper by then!
 
Voronin's made a good start at Liverpool btw. He's scored 2 against Bremen and was highly praised by Benitez against Crewe after setting up goals.

Who knows, maybe we'll all be surprised and he'll turn out to be the goalscorer Liverpool fans are crying out for. He might just be one of those players who needs top service and then he's on fire.
 
I know we have the predictions league, but are we going to do fantasy football this year? I'm not doing yahoo again (though if the rest of you want to, feel free of course), but I'd like to hear other suggestions.

Basically I'm looking for a free fantasy league where we can set up our own league, but don't have to micromanage. You just buy the players you think will do best at the start of the season, then you have maybe 5 plus transfers you can use throughout the year, either fro a player who's injured, or sold, or just turned out crap.

I don't wanna be changing things every week. And I know lots of people just gave up last time early in the season and left the players they'd chosen to get on with it.

So if you've got any ideas, let's hear them. If enough people want to do one of them, we'll do it.

yeah, I pretty much agree. I'd like to do the fantasy football - I'll have a look if I can find something decent. The yahoo one wasn't that great. And I agree on the squad thing, you shouldn't be able to sell and buy each week. It's too much work and I can't have that.

btw, is anyone else annoyed by the new neogaf icon that shows up in the browser tabs now? It's distracting and I don't agree with it. I want the old gaming age one back.

The day Red Bull Park opens is going to be a day I will never forget. Oh and I'm calling for a football thread gaffers meetup in South Africa.

And about the Fire, your team got the wrong Osorio.:D

Just a reminder to MLS fans that the "State of the League" address w/ Don Garber is today. Should be some announcements and other fun stuff.

Also, he participated in an online chat yesterday, you can read it here.

Is there a stream anywhere of the address or do we have to wait for a recap on MLSnet like always?

Let me check. I usually read the recap, but people claim there's a stream this year. (Then again, MLS said there would be a stream last year and there wasn't....)

If he doesn't want to come for that reason he's either not very confident in his ability or not very ambitious. Neither option is too desirable.

Mourinho already chose Bouhlarouz above Alex.. No wonder he's not confident about his position at Chelsea. Alex is a world class defender who wouldn't be worried about his position at teams like Milan/Inter/Real. I hope he stays at PSV for one more season or just moves directly to one of these mentioned teams.
 
oh I agree that he's world-class or soon to be world-class. And believe me, any player that doesn't want to join Chelsea goes up in my estimation quite a bit. I also said "for this reason".

But with his quality there's no way Mourinho could keep him out of the team if he works hard.
 
When do we have to join by? Can I join now and keep changing my team up until the deadline? Otherwise I'll wait and see who else is bought.

You can join now and make changes until the first match starts, I believe. I'd just put a team up now and you can modify it later is information surfaces.

Think I've solved this mystery:

From last night (first time we've worn the new shirts)

Looks like the numbering has little lions on.

It's not a mystery.... the Epl has changed it's logo numbering and lettering for all kits.... hell I think Spurs and Sheffield United wore them in their last games. I know United wore them yesterday in Japan.

The team I follow, Parana Clube in Brazil used to play in 5 stadiums in 3 cities around the state, they owned two of them, and the other 3 were city owned.

They did it to have a wider fanbase. Think of it like San jose playing a game in Sacramento, one in Oakland, one in San jose and one in Modesto.

They wont do this, but i think its a cool idea.

I thought about it again and I like the idea. The years leading up to the opening of the stadium are to generate a larger fanbase around Northern California. Then the stadium opens and Quakes fans from across NoCal will come.
 
I signed up for the league... So I won the last one and got nothing what does the winner this year get? A tag? something? Anything?
