    Very nice. I'm hoping to see the Red Bulls when they come to Charleston on April 18th - doubtful they'll bring Cahill or Henry, but still should be fun.

    DMC ... Dayton Dutch Lions in there? That's the NPSL team I'll be following, since they have five Crew players on loan.

    And, the new official airline of MLS is an airline you can't currently fly between MLS cities.

    Yes, Dayton's in there.

    Full run down:
    • Charleston Battery
    • Rochester Rhinos
    • Harrisburg City Islanders
    • Dayton Dutch Lions
    • Charlotte Eagles
    • LA Galaxy II
    • Orange County Blues
    If they host a US Open Cup match again this summer, I'll go there, too. That was probably my favorite match from last year. We were talked with the opposing keeper for most of the first half. He was a funny guy.

    The Hounds announced their MLS-loans from Houston: Anthony Arena, Jason Johnson and Bryan Salazar. Hopefully they'll be able to assist the team.

    Yeah, I'm not so sure about the Ethiad Airlines deal.

    I love this game.

    What a fantastic game in Seattle.

    Justin Meram, I love you.
    Seattle Sounders, I hate you.

    And that's three wonderful points on the road for Columbus!

    Very clear that the US was the better side was last night. I wouldn't put too much stock into the result.

    Also very clear that without Jermaine Jones, teams can out physical us and get in our heads, when the referees allow more physicality

    Second half was horrible last night. Still should have been a win.

    I'd prefer they tear up Citi Field instead. :p

    However, I'm excited that they'll be in place for 2015. Can't wait to see who is brought on, I think the international interest will be high.

    So, Atlanta is now official. Hope Blank isn't Kraft 2.0

    Inty, did you see the William Sherman tweet that Crew fan club sent to Atlanta FC? I'd post, but I'm mobile - I smell a future rivalry.

    Yes. My god that was awesome. Plus, it got the Crew mentioned on ESPN.

    I have no problem hating Atlanta, with some bitterness from the 1995 World Series.

    I can add them to the pre hate list along with Miami Spice FC.

    lol indeed.


    So, the Hounds are hosting their US Open Cup match this Wednesday...really wish I could go, but I have a work thing that night. Hope that they beat the Red Bulls U-23 team and host another match this tournament.

    MLS announcing their new national TV deal. A few big points

    1) Consistent scheduling. Set times for national broadcast games from both ESPN and Fox
    2) No more MLS Live or Direct Kick. ESPN will own this portion, with ESPN3 taking all online content.
    3) This package actually pays MLS more annually than NBC pays the Premier League. $90 million to $83 million.

    1 excites me, 2 worries me, and 3 is a surprising, but optimistic, sign.

    Eddie Johnson the biggest omission.

    Third straight time the player who scored the goal to clinch World Cup qualification for the USA will not make the World Cup roster.

    Why was Eddie Johnson left off?

    He played quite well in the WCQ and the Gold Cup.

    He's a locker room cancer, and not currently in form.

    #3 is an upgrade considering MLS was getting $18 million on the deal that's currently running.
