Week 4 Matchday Thread

[Gene]

Didn't see one started, so I figure I'd get it going.

San Jose kicking off right now at New England and Orlando at Montreal in about an hour.

Looks like a real crappy day up there in Foxboro.

 

[Gene]

New England leads 2-0 at the end of the half. Kelyn Rowe (21' & 37').

Cold and snowy.

Montreal gives up 2 goals in barely a minute to Crystal Meth SC.

 

[Gene]

Yeah, it's a wild one up there in Montreal...........2-2 in the 30'.

 

[Nicholas Constantino]

Hope Montreal score 4 more.

 

[NYCFCFan10]

More goals scored in two games that aren't even over yet this week, then the entirety of last week....

 

[Gene]

New England hold on 2-1.

Montreal--Orlando end up in a 2-2 draw.

We're four weeks into this season and every single Colorado Rapids game has ended in a 0-0 draw. lol

Their poor fans.

 

[OSNY87]

Well at least they are consistent... I guess.

Bunker ball. It's all their completely unlicensed and inexperienced coach can manage. They went with local and willing and cheap and that's the kind of soccer they'll get.

The entire Rapids FO is still riding the coat tails of accidentally winning MLS 5 years ago. How they all still have jobs is amazing. And shows how much their ownership (Arsenal/Rams/Avalanche's Kroenke) could care less.

Chicago looks empty for this game. They're playing Philly now on ESPN 2

Wow Chicago is hurting in that stadium. Leaving the city for the burbs has hurt them a lot, they are in a 2ok stadium in the boonies and it looks like they can't pack it out. The Fire used to be a big name in American Soccer. I hope they find a way back in to the city.

 

[Gene]

All the more reason why NYCFC has to get it right when they finally get around to our SSS. If it means another year or two at Yankee Stadium until the ideal location can be found, then so be it.

 

[franchise646]

The fire are a perfect of what not become.

Edit I really hope we get our own soccer arena the SGs behind the goal.

Well....over on the BigSoccer MLS attendance thread, we were all pretty thrilled to see New England and Columbus draw over 10k despite this weather. Without Chivas in the league, it was looking likely that we may not see any <10k matches all season! Now I see this Fire and well....we know they have nowhere near 10k in the stands....let's see what they announce.

 

[Vito]

Chicago scores in the 37'

 

[BxLio91]

"Chicago Fire announce a sellout crowd"

 

[Vito]

Philly down to 10 men after a red card on Fred in the 73'

Its not so much the location but the players and results. When they first opened and were wining with Blanco they were packing them in. Then there was a change in ownership and management, and they decided to go cheap and started losing. This is the result.

I think Chicago might turn it around attendance wise of they started winning. Don't hold your breathe.

Did you guys see that new homegrown player score the winner for RSL vs Toronto last night? Awesome.
