SirFozzie Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Take with a huge grain of salt, but there's reports that MLS are seriously looking at moving to a European Schedule (August-May with a six-eight week winterbreak) for 2014. http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/14/report-mls-will-adopt-european-schedule-in-2014-would-august-may-work/
SirFozzie Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 RIP, GolTV as the last remaining European league on the network, the Bundesliga, signs a five year deal (2015-20) with FOX. Wouldn't be surprised to see GolTV sublicense it out to FOX for next year.
Cristobal Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Take with a huge grain of salt, but there's reports that MLS are seriously looking at moving to a European Schedule (August-May with a six-eight week winterbreak) for 2014. http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/14/report-mls-will-adopt-european-schedule-in-2014-would-august-may-work/Just don't see how that works when you've got teams in NY, Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Philly, SLC, etc.
Dewar Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I heard the MLS would have an eight week winter break, so you sit out December and January, then play daytime only matches in the colder climates in February and March. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver can all play indoors during the colder months as well.
odessasteps Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 What's worse: winter in Boston, NYC, DC, ... Or Summer in Dallas, Houston, (Miami soon), KC, LA?
Zheroen Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I hope those idiots calling for Wenger's head after the Villa loss have all committed seppuku in shame.

Robert S Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 No talk about the greatest goal in history? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KwptCFcX7I 1
ReiseReise Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I recall the Helmer ghost goal in 1994 in a 2:1 win for Bayern München against Nuremberg. Apparently there have been others aswell in the past which I didn´t see. Back when Helmer scored a "ghost/phantom goal", there was a replay of the match Bayern vs Nuremberg which Bayern won 5 goals to nil, essentially sending the club to the second division.Hoffenheim appeals for a replay of the match, understandably, although Leverkusen has a point claiming that it was faulty equipment to blame. Don´t know what it means, but a replay is quite likely.
RIPPA Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Now for actual Goal of the Year candidates.... http://youtu.be/qI8SV0racrY 2
odessasteps Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Quite the officiating gaffe in chelsea match. Not first one for the referee this year.
Big Z Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Maybe top 4, but that is far from a guarantee. City and Chelsea have too much quality and depth to not finish top 4, Arsenal looks in good shape to stay in top 4 barring injury (though their lack of depth could lead to an April-May slip), and you have Liverpool and Tottenham also in the argument. I figure they finish top six, but I cannot rule out Everton or Southampton possibly trumping them at this rate (and Everton can thank Chelsea for the gift of Lukaku to ensure them a top 6-8 finish).
sabremike Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 So it's come down to this: The biggest regular season game in Metro history vs. Chicago next Sunday, and it's at home. We win, we get Supporters Shield (our first ever real trophy) and the road to MLS Cup goes through Harrison. Tim Cahill is a legend at this point, and it would be so great to get that 1st trophy with Petkie as coach. Tickets in the supporters end are going for $200 on StubHub, but I wouldn't sell mine for all the money in the world. If we win, there will be an epic party. If we don't, this will be the new most soul crushing moment in team history. COME ON METRO!!!!!!!! 1
SirFozzie Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Monkey Chants mar the CSKA Moscow-Man City game. Yeah, Russia's going to be a greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeattttt host for WC18
Pete Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Watching the Eredivisie on Gol, I love that Go Ahead Eagles are back in the top flight and can't wait for an MLS club to sign their manager, FOEKE BOOY. This has to happen. 1
Lazlo Woodbine Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Nah, he needs to get the Dutch national job, it'll be a thrilling match when Foeke Booy locks horns with the Mannschaft. I'll get me coat.

Raziel Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I'm not abandoning ship or anything... But I'm thinking on starting the death clock on Moyes. I feel bad for him though, he was fucked either way in this job. EDIT: I find it incredibily strange that Rooney never felt like showing up last season, and this year he's damn near willing the team to stay in the hunt. EDIT EDIT: CHICHARITO THE SUPER-SUB!!!!

Mr. Monday Morning Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Bradford 1-2 Wolves. Big time result that. (sorry Natural)
