Off Topic MLS

You watching today's game? It's only in Spanish I geuss I tried the alternate audio function but they don't seem to have English as an option.

 

Just now logging in... watched it in English, I have DirecTV and changed the sound SAP setting by pressing the little green button on my remote.

Last week I watched in Spanish as I had not yet discovered the purpose of the little green button.

 

Apparently the SAP on Unimas is dependent on your cable provider and location. I guess Dish doesn't offer it where I am. I spent a good 20 minuets trying to get it to work before giving up.

 

Sac Republic is on right now. They are damn good for a usl team, they have won every game I have watched them this season without any difficulty and they are up 2-0 at the 30 min mark right now.

 

Hoping to make it to a Sac Republic game soon. Then visit the Streets of London Pub in downtown Sac after. Should be a good night... met a guy the other day trying to make it as a professional ref, he said he refs Sac United matches frequently and the coach never shuts up. Just thought I'd pass that along... Preki could definitely play ball back in the day, but now sadly he's a whiner.

 

The last time I went to that pub it was full of Russian gangsters.

Did you catch any of the CONCACAF Champions League Final last night? Though I thought Club America the more talented team by far, it was a travesty how the referee let the get by with the mugging of Montreal players and their overt abuse of the officials. He did not even call a foul on what appeared to be a red card offense, though not as blatant as the one not called in the first leg in Mexico City. It sure makes one wonder about the objectivity of Latin American officials.

 

Yeah I watched, it was pretty bad. America's center back should have been sent off for a second yellow, also they were chopping and grabbing and kicking out and basically acting like a bunch of turds. Clearly they were the better team, but Montreal was hanging tough and the referee was not calling much. Credit to America, they got away with what they could, while Montreal didn't really test the limits... of course, their center back took a yellow for the exact same foul I discussed earlier, so maybe it wasn't a fair shake.

Disappointing, America is a good enough team to win on their own without the official helping them out. With all that said... Montreal should have gone up 2-0 on their chance in the first half, and then the game would have been completely different.

 

I missed it, I was forced to watch Catfish on MTV instead. Something about neither team being a team that I normally watch so I wasn't allowed to control the remote.

 

I didn't want to start a new thread
My local team FC Edmonton won last night in the Canadian cup and now play the Whitecaps, anyone on here seen them play this year? I see they are doing well in the MLS
Any players to watch out for?
Thanks

 

Pretty sure they have the leagues top scorer in Rivero if that's how you spell it. He is their main threat has something like 5 or 6 goals I think.
