those are all pretty woof.

46ers is probably the least weird although i don't know what 46 refers to. did 46k injuns die in the trail of tears?

[AbeFroman]

I thought American teams were over stupid names for their soccer teams, did Oklahoma not receive the email letter in the mail?

The spirit one is  , good job putting 5 Oklahoma's in the logo

[sunny_cat]

Spirit, Wind, and Energy sound like names of women's soccer teams.

I don't have any idea what 46ers refers to, but I like it.

Flyers is just awful, and those colors rough ridin' suck.

[Tobias]

yeah, colors/general first glance just makes me think sounders, rapids, don't care, don't care, chiefs

i'm all about logos that do NOT incorporate a soccer ball. nothing says small timey herp derp than a soccer ball in your logo

how happy would you guys be with a 0-0 draw tomorrow?

Which is why everyone wants to switch to this:



Not looking like it'll happen though.

i would say "thank god there's no away goal rule in MLS"

[Tobias]

phoenix suns us soccer logo is pretty herpy derpy IMO

There really should be. Sure, outside of KC, Portland, and Seattle there aren't really any "intimidating" atmospheres, but the travel is much further than flying between England, Spain and Germany.

Very happy. Honestly, I'm cool with a 1-goal loss. We gotta remember too that this will be Houston's 4th game in like 10 days. They've gotta be burnt out.

We just gotta hope PV isn't too ambitious like he was last season in Houston.

was more of a situational joke based on people's confusion wednesday, but i agree abe (my brain automatically calculates away goals and i have to turn it off for MLS)

[AbeFroman]

They need to focus on defending, it'd be nice not to be down a goal or two coming home. Just let Zusi, Bieler and Dywer be the front line, they are good enough to create on their own without needing to commit too many people forward.

You can't start Dwyer and Bieler at the same time. Both are CFs. Neither can play on the wing (or have ever before).

I'd take Soony, Bieler, Zusi.

[mocat]

Soony / Dom / Zusi, and bring Bieler in later once he's good and PO'd at Peter Vermes Give Us Your Keys

Would also take.

FWIW, I'm not as down on CJ as most of you guys, but I prefer Soony over him.

[mocat]

imo Dom made some fabulous plays in the 1st half Wednesday, and was the most creative player in the 1st half (Zusi 2nd half)

[Tobias]

love soony and dom

[sunny_cat]

Yeah, I've been impressed with Dom. And you can't go wrong pairing him with Soony. Not to mention the best player on the team, Zusi.

[mocat]

CJ is like Jamar when Jamar was shitty. But rookie CJ was like Jamar when Jamar was oSu'ing fools in the B12 tore-na-ment

[sunny_cat]

Wow, fantastic comparo.

I always loved Jamar though.

I thought that exact same thing. Case in point: CJ getting a facepalm by the Revs doucher. Normally a red card under soccer rules, instead they both get yellows (double technical)

[scottwildcat]

i trust Peter on team selection. Our guys have been such a mixed bag and not a lot of consistency especially up top. Gotta try to get a draw tomorrow.
