Pretty hilarious considering without those two, they don't make the playoffs

Obviously sunny, but that was honestly the second worst penalty I've ever seen, just behind Ridgewell against us last year. And as far as Giovinco goes it was very frustrating to watch him last night. He wasn't active at all, didn't take any initiative. He just stood up top and waited for a mid to bomb a ball to him. I don't know how to, or don't really care to, find his Audi Player Index for last night but I guarantee you its the lowest he had all season. Betishore was very active, he was all over the place. It would have been nice for the best player in the league to not look like Chris Pontius in the final.

Isn't Gio battling a pretty bad hamstring hernia?

Maybe? It sure didn't look that way in their other playoff games though.

I've never read this thread before. Why do you people call the championship parade a "march?" It's not as bad as calling the stripes "hoops," but close.

I will get one of those surgical masks the Asian people where and try to go take some pictures tomorrow.

Fwiw nobody calls the championship parade a march except for maybe Seattle, who, are far and away the worst embodiment of "American soccer" fans.

It's only the soccer people themselves. The news and normal people are calling it a parade.

And it's going the opposite way I thought it'd go, so I probably won't mix it up, at least not for the main part of it. I might be able to get some #coverage of the beginning.

People call it a march before the game. That's not weird but the championship "march" makes me cringe.

It's all weird, but I guess that's the point.

What the eff are you talking about, I've never heard this crap in my entire life?

Expansion draft today. Bye bye Jake, I'll miss you

Here's the list of players
http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/12/12/2016-mls-expansion-draft-protected-and-unprotected-lists

A couple of things on this, MLS needs to close up some loopholes with this. I know Brad Davis is on SKC's unprotected list but like half of LA's list are retired guys, while other have teams with retired guys on the ineligible list.

Speaking of the ineligible list EPB is on ours but he isn't listed as being out on loan, has his loan expired? Will he be in the mix here in the spring?

The most IMPORTANT parts of what I gathered was a celebration of the best soccer team in the world are now featured at https://twitter.com/TrimGoEMAW. Y-W.

fake news or bonus #coverage?

Trim · « **Reply #9437 on:** December 13, 2016, 03:28:55 PM »

The most premium of #coverage. You'll feel like you were there.

Tobias · « **Reply #9438 on:** December 13, 2016, 03:29:49 PM »

needs more Payton imo

Doesn't everything? FWIW, she shat well in the courtyard with me chanting "poop time," and she was immediately given a prime rib pupperoni and promptly taken out for the #coverage walk.
