Do you honestly think he has much left in him?

I have more hope for him as a coach, to be honest. I do think that he can be a pretty good veteran presence to have around the squad.

Sebastien Le Toux gives Philadelphia the lead with the first goal of the new season.

Huge Union fan and Le Toux supporter. Glad our club brought him back. What a fitting way to make his second Philadelphia debut punching in the first MLS goal of the season. C'mon the U!

Awesome to have you here UncleDrew.

Union are unfortunately falling behind at this point. How do you think the season will play out for them?

Curling is going to kill me right now.

From the looks of it both Toronto and Vancouver will again struggle this season.

Too many unknowns for both teams right now.

Montreal got a really big away win tonight over Seattle.

Great start to their season.

The home opening crowd at Chivas USA

Embarrassing.

Team really needs to get out of the L.A. market.

Chivas San Diego sounds good.

El Paso is a town of a million with 90% Hispanic population. They also have the Sun Bowl to play in.

That Seattle /Monteral game was fun to watch. I was quite suprised when Seattle was approaching the top 3rd and many times instead of going up the middle (were open for !it too) they would often kick it out to the wings and play the cross to the front of the box. Then the coach in an interview said we have to get it out to the wings more! Looks like to me they just set up the defense against themselve and with the mids not pushing up enough was too hard to score 4 verses 2.

I use to live in El Paso and went to a few of the minor league soccer games there. Good times on the 4th of July.

True, tons of hispanics, but those ticket prices would have to be cheap. Not much money in El Paso. I wonder if its still one of the cheapest cost of living cities in america.

San Diego would be a good place for them.

and thanks for the bump on the lakers board, totally forgot about today's opener for the galaxy.

No problem dockingsched, just trying to bump up the interest level here.

Post #888 » by **dockingsched** » Sun Mar 3, 2013 7:45 pm

argh, also forgot that galaxy play on the lakers channel starting today, which DISH has yet to get. damn.

anyway, going back to the horrible attendance at the chivas usa game, i think the tickets are overpriced. GA is 20 bucks, and to me thats too much. add to that that there isn't any parking cheaper than $15 around home depot center (cal state dominguez hills university), and im looking at 50 bucks just to go with a guest to a game. rather spend an extra 15 bucks on tix and get the same seat a galaxy game, and would much rather spend the money on the several exhibition/qualifiers that the mexico nat'l team plays in the area or go to an angels/dodgers game for less.

L.A. wins big.

The Portland/New York match has been fantastic so far.

Chivas San Diego sounds good.

They could stick the team in Orange County too. Lots of wealthy cities throughout OC that could probably support an MLS team.
