Either they're really trying to give the crowd something special, or they're naively glory-hunting. I'm guessing the latter!

In fairness the MLS Super Dooper All Stars seem to be playing well since the 2 goals.

Giggs is still top class. Head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch, even at his age. Incredible.

Great run by Giggs. Unlucky Macheda, he shouldn't be going near the bench 'til he has his hat trick...

I doubt it. America is on another planet in terms of advertising.

"This throw in is brought to you by Sprite. Obey your thirst!" etc. etc.

Kiko seems to be like that kid at school who used to score loads goals, used to hang around the opposition area a lot and do little but moan yet you really wanted him on your team as he would score.

The last goal hanger we had didn't do too badly for the club (even if he did have a bit of a Dutch horseface)

Mars Bar

AGH Fletcher!!

I'd say if Giggs sees another MLS referee after this tour, it'll be too soon.

So close from super fletch!

Enjoyable although I'd rather be sleeping. Feel asleep after 12 but my body clock woke me up at 1.30 and now I can't get asleep! Work shall suck tomorrow.

Pretty sure i've heard them use hand kick in previous MLS games, and head kick for headers.

We need skysports to english up its NFL coverage. Call field goal attempts shots. Call the restart a kickout etc.

No, was working until about 1, I just have a hatred for American commentary ever since I lived in Boston.

I played pool for a pub called JJ's in Dorchester and they had "innings" in the games. Don't even ask me to explain it. Retards.

Mars Bar

Macheda is bringing a Tevez-esque feature to his game by chasing everything in and around the box and putting pressure on the defence. It's good to see, I hope he can keep that up.

Le King

Ah Yank bashing. Can I join in?

Dave147

Surely that was a violation there, he didn't attempt the field goal before the shot clock ran out. Think Coach Ferguson should call a time out so we can see the cheerleaders strut their stuff.

DEEFENCE!! DEEEEEFENCE!!!! DEEEEEFENCE!!!!


OFFENCE!!!! OFFENCE!!! OFFENCE!!!

Surely that was a free throw to Manchester there?

Good goaltending there, by the .... Goal Tender.
