^ I wasn't a fan of all that junk that happened last off-season. The supporters groups are pretty crazy.
Looking forward to the 2022 UMass Football Season (Oh boy, just jinxed that one)

Jermaine went a little crazy there. Should have been a hand ball in my opinion, but you can't grab the ref.

Frustrating finish to a frustrating year. Another game where they could not hold onto a lead mainly because they did not capitalize on great opportunities and the back 4 giving up soft goals. It was definitely a handball but it's always the Geiger Show ( http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/1110/maj ... ebook-like)

Geiger wasn't the reason they lost though, they had all the opportunities they needed to win that game.Ultimately though they should have never been in position to play in the play-in game. After beating NYRB during a mid-week match in September they were atop the east and close to the shield, but they played poorly down the stretch where they played themselves into a play-in game on the road. The play-in game was my biggest fear because getting a Toronto or Columbus or Montreal in a 1 game playoff is scary, I didn't think DC was scary though especially after losing 5-0 to Columbus on Sunday. That said, even if they won, the way Montreal is playing (looked fantastic tonight beating TFC 3-0) I didn't see the Revs getting past Montreal in the conference finals. I'm seeing Montreal-Seattle in the MLS Cup with whoever plays at home winning. Not sure who would have home field as they have the same number of points, and identical records. (Edit: Looks like first tiebreaker is wins...which they tied...2nd is goal differential and Seattle wins 8-4 there...so your 2015 MLS Cup winners: Seattle Sounders!!!)


Anyways......COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh, my Chelsea FC is sliding towards the relegation zone. Has any EPL defending champion ever been relegated? I would doubt it. Jose may not be long for Stamford Bridge. Abramovich is all about "what have you done for me lately?"

Nah, they have too much talent to get relegated, but it's clear the players are no longer listening to Jose, which is kind of his history after he's been around for a couple of years. I guess it doesn't take very long to get sick of his act.

I enjoyed watching the bananas PK shootout between Portland and KC, so I plan on watching their game tonight against the whitecaps. Plus TIMBERS is an awesome nickname. Go Timbers.
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

Fun match despite there not being any goals. Fast paced. Portland's fans seem awesome.

North London derby tomorrow! Calling a 2-1 Spurs victory over ars*nal!! Son comes on in the 2nd half to tie it, and Christian Eriksen gets the winner on a free kick!!

That'd be nice. I really have no idea how the game is going to go. On the one hand Arsenal have looked terrifyingly good at times in the prem, on the other they're banged up with injuries and could lack confidence after getting shellacked by Bayern this week. And we're in form. I LOVE what I've seen from Son. I'll hope for a 1-0 or 2-1 win with Toby and Jan being heroes in defense, think it could be a 2-2 draw. I think Harry will score. That goal against Anderlecht on Thursday was sick.

Not sure if I'm gonna watch the Timbers again tomorrow night as I'm a huge poker nerd, and it's the biggest/nearly only night of live televised poker on ESPN tomorrow night. I'll keep an eye on the score though!

Not exactly the result we were hoping for but a hell of an entertaining NLD. By the end of the game it almost felt lucky to get out of Emirates with a point. Spurs looked the much better team in the first half and start of the 2nd, but as Arsenal got more desperate to get even and try to win it, the last half hour or so was nail biting. If Giroud wasn't a total dud, Arsenal could've had at least 3 goals.
