I'm going to go the home opener, pretty excited about that.. they have there own stadium being built but it is not finishied yet.
so they are playing where the Philadelphia Eagles play there first two games.
the game last night was ok.
the MLS is so different than what i'm used to watching in Europe.
but our team is the youngest in the league.
the two goals conceded were not bad to give up.
had a few chances at goal.
a few stupid fouls that resulted in early yellows and one sending off did us in.
Alright mate - just realised I never got back to you (Re: the postponed LC-semi derby). I was only in the States until Jan 8, so by the time the match was played I was in Spain. Next time I'm over I'm definitely gonna check out that Fado downtown for City so I'll PM you whenever that is. If I could get over this summer, I'd go and watch the Union but I probably won't be over until the winter.
I'll be following the Union as best I can from over here though. Just watched a youtube clip of highlights from last night - shite 'keeping for both goals but I suppose the defence were flat-footed too. I suppose 2-0's not a complete disaster for a first competitive game. How did Freddie Ljungberg play for Seattle? Is he still as half-arsed as he was during his brief stint at West Ham?
Ljungberg is clearly the best player for Seattle... he missed a few chances he would have been a few years ago. But he is getting older and it looks like he cares a lot less.
about you coming to America- yea mate, hit me up whenever.
