'NYCFC You aint got no history' chant from the Orlando fans

I have things in my medicine cabinet older than both of these teams. Combined.

That Kaka free kick 5 mins ago was a pathetic effort ��

Poor New York keeper has been in the wars tonight.

Sky will be absolutely bulling if this ends 0-0

The game itself, Kaka and Rivas are still all trending on Twitter in the UK. Im sure they will be delighted with the viewing figures and attention

They'll be happy now. Quality goal. Diskerud had probably been NYFC's best player too.

You can take the referee out of the LOI..

Yeah but they'll know they need quality games to get past the initial novelty phase.

klose

3 bookings in one game for diving, yikes!

SantryRed

Alan Kelly is a fantastic ref. He 100% got the diving call correct. Was a definite red card too for the tackle.

Kaka

Kaka with a jammy equaliser!!!!

63000 sell out crowd at that.
Watching Kansas V NY Red Bulls now. 25000 sell out crowd but could have sold twice that.

Mate of mine just text me saying this is Kansas' 54th consecutive sell out. That's astounding. Excellent stat.

This match is much better. Still no way I'm staying up past HT.

LuckyLloyd

I for one look forward to the steady stream of 'Robbie Keane being ridiculous' clips on Facebook.

Was a good game in terms of end to end but both sides were really missing some quality, NY are gonna miss Henry and Cahill massively, need another front man to help out BWP.

pretty entertaining league to watch. MLS good addition on Sky

Does this guy not know that there is another New York team?

I think they are based in New Jersey


The baseball field converted into a soccer pitch really looks horrible.

I think we are going to be in for a New York City channel as next week game is also them

Best game Ive watched all weekend in any league here.

Diskerud and David Villa were the best players on the park.

Both looked a class apart.

Yeah, Diskerud was the best player last week too. Villa could have had 4 or 5 and I'm not even exaggerating when I say that. Revolution only looked good for the last 15 or 20 minutes of the 1st half.

Hey guys I'm kind of thinking of following this seriously this year, what's the standard like?

Very entertaining. The teams wouldn't hold up against your top half Premier League/La Liga/Bundesliga teams at all but its largely exciting end to end football played on the deck. New York v New England was a very good advert for that. The class of lads like Villa and Kaka will only add to the spectacle aswell.

Pighead

I'm not a regular MLS viewer but watched the New York Game this evening and it was very enjoyable. Yer man Tierney who plays with Revolution is a ridiculously good crosser of a ball. He put at least four perfect crosses into the box two or three of which should have led to a goal and his corners were on the money all night. Villa will score a lot of goals this year you'd imagine. Should have had a hatrick tonight but he was a tad rusty and his touch let him down a couple of times.

SantryRed

Unbelievable finish to the Timbers-Galaxy game! Portland thought they'd won it with a 90th min winner but LA pegged it back to 2-2 2 minutes later!

Pissed off I didn't stay up for the 2nd half!!!

dreamers75

Had Galaxy at 10-1 when 1-0 down, they should have been out of sight after HT.

Portland Timbers is a ridiculous name for a football team.

To be fair the vast majority of North American sports teams have ridiculous names. Except Toronto FC.

New York City FC also going down the more traditional English route.

Their mascot is a real lumberjack with a tree stump on the sideline. He saws a piece of every time they score a goal.

Dirty Dingus McGee

i think Portland Timbers is a great name for a team as it makes a reference to the area it's based in. Names like The Oilers, Steelers etc are much better than the team having a name that has no relevance to the city it represents.

citytillidie

Could be 1st time in 11 years there is no Mexican team in the CONCACAF version of Champions League and an MLS team making the final for the 5th time

Currently it is
Montreal Impact (CAN) 2 V 0 Alajuelense (CRC) at HT in 1st leg

Other semi last night it was
Herediano (CRC) 3 V 0 Club America (MEX)

FatherTed

I've supported the NY Red Bulls for about 15 years now, go to 5-6 games a year. Major upheaval with the former coach getting the sack and a big turnover of player losing the likes of Henry and Cahill. Heading to the home opener on Sunday.

Kevin Doyle has signed for Colorado Rapids, will link up mid summer when out of contract with Wolves.

Prob the best move he could have hoped for given the direction his career has taken and that hes getting on in years. I'll back him to be banging them in again over there.

Thats a fair few Irish lads over there now giving it a crack

-Robbie Keane (Galaxy)
-Kevin Doyle (Rapids)
-Andy o'Brien (White Caps)
-Sean St.Ledger (Orlando)
-Darren o'Dea (previously of Toronto)

O'Brien and O'Dea are gone. So right now its Keane and St Ledger and also Shane O'Neill for Colorado.

dreamers75

3 years ago Doyle was a rumoured 20 million target for Arsenal.

Madness how his career panned out.

gstack166

Anyone know what happened the highlights show on Sky Sports? Wasn't in last week & see no schedule this week for it either. I was quite enjoying it.

Mars Bar

L.A. Galaxy lost 1-0 to D.C United. I'd say they missed Robbie!

wadacrack

chicago fire- philadelphia was a pretty poor game.probably to be expected from 2 struggling teams

citytillidie

Talk about bad refs



1st leg of the CONACAF Champions League final clean through on goal and only a yellow card.

Well done to the Impact keeping it to 1-1 in Mexico, 2nd leg sold out in Montreal for an expected 59000 fans

The Backwards Man

Anyone watching New York Leipzig Salzburg Brasil Ghana Red Bulls v New York Manchester Melbourne Yokohama F-Marinos City?

Hard to know who to shout for here.

wadacrack

no not watching that. anyone see the previous game. Toronto-Houston. Gilles Barness who used to play at Derby and was regarded as a great talent in England was playing in the 10 for Houston. He looked by far the best player on the pitch, seems to be doing really well out there

Jaysus the yanks love any excuse to get the National Anthem out!!

Do they sing it before each game?

Every single one.

Don't forget though that you're living in a country where the national anthem was played after discos up until very recently.:p
