Thanks, Yankiboy. We officially only have one win, since the victory over RWB does not count in the standings, nor would last night's. I knew what to expect, with our offense struggling, I guess I was hoping too much for the best. Last season we m

I remember when Palace Baltimore lost to Ocean City. It hurt even more because it was the year that followed shutting out the Red Bull reserves and pushing a mixed (reserves with some starters) to extra time and pk's. It hurts losing to a PDL club--

I'm really happy that the Rowdies have Seattle coming on Tuesday. That will be a huge distraction for them and I hope that A) they beat Seattle and B) this means the Loons can recover with a huge win.

It's hard to say anyone was that bad. They were just so damned average. Are we cheering for late career Weezer or something? Wall didn't do that much; he wasn't alone, but I was really hoping that guys like him would take their opportunities and go g

Thanks, Mikey. I read somewhere that they are a road team this year and I'm curious to know why, since last season they played home games at Sir Vivien Richards Stadium and they had some wins there. Being a road game is torture. It sounds like if we

I'm surprised people are so down on Wall. I thought he did a pretty good job moving for the ball. What stands out in my mind was the number of times Pablo played the ball behind him. I wasn't blown away, but he was okay in the first half. I mean, he

honestly, you haven't seen Antigua yet. They have a good goalkeeper in Molvin James, but thats about it. They have speed, but no ball skills, not much passing and once you score on them, they bicker with each other like step children forced to share

I agree mostly with Bruce's ratings as well. The two exceptions I see were Reed and Wall. I thought Reed actually played pretty well. He covered counters pretty well while Arguez was busy trying to force himself to find the thread of the match go

So, I'm pretty sure that every player we heckle plays out of their damned skin and scores a goal (I mean... SHANE HILL!?!? That dude became a regular Michael Bradley out there). Maybe we should heckle our players.

I get MLS not giving a [censored] about the USOC. But for every team in every league below them, this tournament should mean more. Each one of these games is an opportunity to show we deserve greatness. Maybe winning the USOC is a pipe dream. It ce
