By happy you mean that Seattle managed to make it into the playoffs even though they went winless in their last seven matches after getting destroyed by LA in the final match???
As we said in LA for many a year, fuera Sigi.
Hey all,
Ive been watching EPL and Champion league games. I continue to hear "He is on loan from x club"
Does this mean a club can "rent" a player for a period of time? When the player on loan plays the club that holds their permanent rights does the player play his home club?
What is the advantage/disadvantage of loaning a player? I can see how it helps the home club defray the expense of a player but not much else.
Chelsea vs Man City
should be a good one.
A 0-0 draw, please!
To answer what wasn't already answered, it depends on the agreement, but typically, the player is prevented from playing against his parent club. For example, I believe Romelu Lukaku wasn't allowed to play against Chelsea earlier this season.
Crazy... NYRB finally have silverware. Have they ever competed in the Champions League, like filling a spot meant for MLS Cup runners up?

It was a haphazard match. And yes, Keane-O is known to make a fuss... but he's the captain and technically the only one allowed to do so (notice the keyword "technically" in reference to the ref-swarming that is now a finable offense but still hasn't dropped in frequency.) He did get started right away against Seattle though... and San Jose the week before.Also, I think they let the crybaby Robbie Keane get to them in the second half and the ref let a lot of garbage go, in both directions.
We also got away with murder on that goal scored by LA that was called off. Though upon further inspection, maybe the ball didn't cross the line...
Seattle hosts Colorado tonight! Who ya got?
If you told me before the season started I would be taking Colorado to best Seattle in Seattle in the opening playoff game I would say you are crazy! But I like the young talent of Colorado. I also think all the pressure will be the Sounders and they have not looked good down the stretch. Rapids in a shocker 2-1.
Top of the league. 5 pts clear.
I thought cazorla was spark plug that made the team go. It was a fun game to watch sturridge is a world class diver, bit since he's English I guess its ok.
Ahhh the playoffs.
Where it doesn't matter how dominant you've been throughout the season.
I can't imagine a scenario where my team has battled all season long to achieve a good final standing (I can dream) Only, at the end of the season to participate in an equivalent to a penalty shoot out against teams that did less well........And for no good reason!!!
More concisely: What is a league system for?
Another thing to consider is America is friggin huge. In order for MLS to survive back in the beginning (and to be sustainable today) they had to reduce travel distances. The last couple seasons have been good about this by having an unbalanced system, that is you play in-conference clubs more than you do out-of-conference clubs. But this produces results that, on a single table, aren't really a true ranking. Essentially the only way to level the playing field due to difference in strength of schedule (i.e. the Eastern Conference was overall pretty weak this season) is pit the best of each conference head-to-head.
