A second team in New York?? Shouldn't they get the first one stable first?? I heard they were adding one to Atlanta but nothing more. I figured they were just adding to Atlanta and that was it.

No Red Bull fan, but the Red Bulls are incredibly stable franchise. Their stadium in Harrison is beautiful and exactly the type of stadium more MLS teams should have.

Houston/ EL Paso...

Move Chivas to STL, move the Charleston Battery to MLS, get good ownership for the Revolution and DC United, and if all the other planned franchises move on as planned, the MLS is going to be a very competitive professional league in the US

Yeah I guess that was part of my point though. They average over 15,000 a game which is cool, but you would expect sell outs in the nations largest city with that stadium, when they are about to get another team... not lukewarm, 70% attendance. Just saying.

 

[ACamp1900]

DC needs it's own stadium like ten years ago... at least some major refitting of RFk.

 

[ACamp1900]

What about a team in Virginia Beach?

 

[Cackalacky]

Scurvy bitches in Virginia beach.

 

[ACamp1900]

I don't know much about it other than it's got a good population center and nothing in the way of sports teams near it... unless it's closer to DC and Baltimore than I thought...

Haha. I used to surf there all the time. Its ok. Bitches are cold.

Hampton Roads is a huge metropolis though. Norfolk/Hampton would be better than Virginia Beach.

PSG looked tired, Chelsea took advantage and stuck a knife in their guts. Brutal.

Too bad Dortmund couldn't have snatched that away goal like Chelsea did...

Just bought my tickets to ManU Real Madrid at the big house for August 2nd yesterday morning. Should be so awesome. I wonder if it will sell out. They sold like 11K tickets in the first 15 minutes of the presale yesterday.

 

[ACamp1900]

yeah, that will sell out easy.

Liverpool vs AC Milan in Charlotte same day. STOKED!

Marco Reus looked like one of the best players in the world today. Scary to think about what he is going to do to our inexperienced back four(this summer), and don't even get me started on Ronaldo. The idea of him vs Michael parkhurst or Demarcus Beasley keeps me up at night.

Glad to see some great soccer debate on here though. Really looking forward to this upcoming Sunday morning. Liverpool play great attacking football, which I'm glad they have been rewarded for with a remarkable season. Going to take a Giant effort from my blues to shut them down. I'm hoping for a draw, smart money would be on Liverpool though.

I think City will win the league because of the two games in hand but if Liverpool can beat City and win out we will finish 1 point ahead of City. That is what I am hoping but might be too much to ask. It's going to be a heated match and Liverpool have only dropped 5 points at home so far this season.

Also it's hard to believe but Gerrard has never won a league title. Crazy.

Yeah, that would have been nice. BVB played with a lot of fire yesterday. I'm hoping Bayern come out like that today.

Demichelis and the back line has playing solid of late. If they can hold Liverpool to 2 or less, a draw or even victory are attainable. City's attack is far too explosive for Liverpool's defense to contain them.

It is weird that I am rooting for United today. Something about Bayern I really dislike. I guess maybe it is some BPL pride.

It's never weird to root for United.

Some really great tactical match-ups going into this match up

1st: Is ageuro going to start? He has been in training all week, and Pelligrini already has precedent of starting a player right away(without a sub appearance first) from injury in Fernadinho earlier this year vs Barca.

2nd: If aguero does start, does Pelligrini dare to play two strikers with Dzeko being in good form.....I hope he doesn't. I feel are best setup for this game would be
Hart
Zaba--------Kompany------MDM--------Clichy
Dinho-----------------Yaya
Navas------------Silva-----------Nasir
Aguero
3rd: Will Rodgers stay with his very attacking lineup and start Coutinho or will he play the more defensive Lucas. Lucas played great against Yaya Toure last year, and bossed the game at Liverpool.

In addition: Liverpool will be remembering the Hillsborough disaster before the game. Pool's players are going to come out guns a blazing in the first 15 minutes. City must keep them from scoring during that first portion of the game, and then build confidence throughout. City hasn't won at Liverpool in over a decade, be crazy if they could brake that streak in arguably the biggest game of the season.

Here's to a great game!

P.S: Espn 30/30 is showing a documentary on the Hillsborough Disaster next week. I believe on Tuesday night. Set your DVR's

I have to think we play Lucas Gerrard and Henderson in Midfield. Yaya has to be corralled.
Probably will look like this:
Mignolet
Johnson------Skrtle---------Sahko--------Flannagan

Gerrard-------Lucas
Sterling----------------------------------------Henderson
Suarez ----------Sturridge.

I think Henderson and Sterling will both play centrally and wide as needed in front of defensively minded Lucas and Deep play maker Gerrard. Both Johnson and Flanagan can play up the pitch and wide so the MF will be overrun with moving Liverpool players.

You are right about the 96. Anfield will be insane. Liverpool has to win. Man City has a job ahead of them to get a point. I think it will be close because our d has been real shaky at times.

I know we all want are fans to be the loudest and the most passionate in any league. Prime example is, how embarrassed some of us are that ND has to create a "Petition" to get people to stand when the defense in on the field at the stadium..... But I cannot think of a greater sight, in England, than a full KOP singing "You'll never Walk alone" during arguably the biggest game Liverpool has ever had at home during the "PL ERA" City's players have vast experience of playing in Hostile environments, but the 12th man could be the "X-Factor" in this weekends game. The atmosphere will be electric, and an early goal by Liverpool could be terrible for City.

 

[NDinL.A.]

It's gonna be a phenomenal game, no doubt. And while I REALLY enjoy watching Liverpool and have been driving their bandwagon since about their third game (I'm a Barca fan so I don't have a Premier League team), I think Man City has a better chance to AT LEAST get a point this weekend. Reason being, as awesome as Liverpool has been, they are still vulnerable in the back, and if anyone is going to expose them, it's Silva/Torre and company (no pun intended).

Of course, so is Man City. That's why this is such a fantastic game on paper. Even though Man City has way more Spaniards, I'm still rooting for Liverpool because they have been such a revelation this season and Suarez has unbelievably morphed himself into my favorite non-Spaniard/non-American futbol player in the world, and definitely on of if not thee most fun to watch on a game-by-game basis.

By the way, I reserve the right to flip my prediction (2-2 draw) about 231 times before the game lol...

CHILLS..... Its going to be a long week.
