There will be a new MLS champion this year. The

[USAF]

defending champions, LA Galaxy (Donovan Ricketts), was defeated last night, 3-2, by Seattle Sounders (Oneil Fisher), in the first round of the knockout stage. They had over 39,000, which was good for a rainy Wednesday night.

HL!!!.......I see some people touting the NY Red Bulls (Kemar Lawrence) as the favorites to win their 1st MLS championship.

[USAF]

Portland Timbers (Alvas Powell) just eliminated Sporting Kansas City 7-6, on penalty kicks (it was 2-2 in regulation time).......They now face Vancouver Whitecaps (Darren Mattocks).

[USAF]

Seattle Sounders (Oneil Fisher) will play FC Dallas (Jevaughn Watson).

[HL]

I still have some MetroStars jerseys & tshirts USAF.

New York is overdue a championship. Any title would increase support for the NY team.

I recall the days when Courtney used to refer to me as Mr. MLS (or something of the sort). I will try and catch a game. Thanks for the heads up.

[USAF]

NY Red Bulls/MetroStars will play DC United - Sunday, at 3pm, on ESPN.

Heard that NYCFC aka Man. City USA might be making a head coach change, parting ways with Jason Kreis & bringing in Patrick Vieira.

[HL]

Hmmmm.... Vieira can sell tickets.

I think he was with youth development at ManCity.

[USAF]

Yeah!!! He's been Man. City's Reserve Team & the U21 Elite Development manager for over 2 years.
