Seattle takes down the Red Bulls 2-1 thanks to a Chad Barrett goal in the 91st minute.

Haven't been paying attention but is Agudelo finding his form again? He looked really good against Galaxy.

Also we desperately need Keane to be starting and playing again.

Yeah, he's been very solid for NE this year. Davies is getting more goals, but I think Agudelo is a more valuable player.

How did Dempsey only get 3 games? That's shockingly low.

Because reasons. US soccer reasons.

That was my thought as well, but the minimum penalty is supposed to 6 games, so I figured he would get the bare minimum 6.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

So...as much as I hate to be that guy, I'm at a crossroads. I've been watching both the Dynamo and Orlando City this season with the goal of trying to find a club to support. And really, I cannot decide. Houston's closer and makes more sense to support, but just far away that any connection I feel with the city is reserved for the one time a year I make my way out there and the fact that I have a lot of friends from Houston. But Orlando City is so much more fun to watch, and most of my wardrobe is purple and gold so I have that going for me as well. Also, getting in on the ground floor of a team during their inaugural season would be pretty cool. I know they're in different conferences, but really, I doubt I can make time to support 3 different clubs.

So what are y'alls thoughts on this?


God, I can't believe I just made that post

^ It's fun to just watch a league without a rooting interest, which I have done with MLS forever (lightly rooted for Chicago and Portland). Despite the shade you hear from the "IT'S FUTBOL" sect, MLS is fun to watch. Decent to good level of play (flashes of great) and very competitive.

Now with MN apparently moving up in a couple years, I'm obviously following the Loons up. But I will definitely miss just tuning in and enjoying matches without worries.

So I guess the point is - if you aren't attending matches, who cares? Pick a team or don't. But don't feel like you HAVE to pick one.

I've been watching the MLS for just over a year now and I just feel like it's easier to keep up with everything if you have a club to follow. It's kinda like baseball in that regard, but I definitely get what you're saying.

I vote Houston. Of course, I support them and I'm biased.

I'd go with Orlando City. Houston sucks.
