Just thought it'd be fun to open a general preseason thread -summarize offseason trades, acquisitions, retirements, etc. -talk about preseason games and tournaments -discuss prospects for the coming season based on ^ -and whatever we want ;-) I haven't paid much attention to what players have switched to where (besides the obvious: Becks, Landycakes, and DeRo), though here are some preseason results from the past week: 1/30 - Wizards 7-0 US u172/1 - - Fire 5-0 UCF2/4 - - Wizards 3-2 Fire looks like your team's getting outdone by the Wiz, ACDC  Dynamo VS FCDallas on Friday! ^.^ |

nice vid, really nice stadium. (21k ^.^)
I guess I haven't gotten to pay that much attention during the past month; I take it the deal's gotten farther along by now?
I'm a little hesitant about TSU playing there, though.... so is this really an SSS that will just host American football, too, or more of a mixed-use stadium?
more game results:
2/5 - - DCUnited 1-4 Vejle Boldklub
2/6 - - Dynamo 3-0 FCDallas ^.^
2/7 - - Wizards 4-4 Red Bull
2/7 - - Fire 1-0 PR Islanders

2/8 - RealSL 0-0 VCFusion
2/9 - Dynamo 0-0 FCDallas
2/9 - SoundersFC 3-1 Galaxy
Looking at that last result, I'm really interested in what happens in this week's games; four more games for Seattle and two for LA. Wanna see if the new team can show they can win, and if the Galaxy are destined for the bottom of the table again or not. ^.^

Galaxy are a joke. I have a feeling they'll stick around the bottom of the table once again. BTW how is the St. Louis bid going, i heard that they didn't have enough money or something. I haven't really been following the MLS lately |

yeah.... At the Draft, Garber told Cooper (and the Post-Dispatch guy who interviewed both of them) that STL was still too low on money. And he completely blew off the president of Eads Brigade (fan supporter group) when he tried to say hi and talk a bit. But with the announcement that, after Cooper has been gathering investors as best he can, our bid was still to skimpy on our investment group, the mood around the community completely died. We highly doubt STL is in this round, and probably next round too since we're tired of being strung along. So we're hoping USL-1 lets Cooper in (unless MLS decides to surprise us after everything they've said to and asked of us).
Of course, Tony Glavin of the PDL STL Lions threw a curveball Oct. or Nov. when he announced he was going to try to get the Lions promoted to USL-1 for 2010. So now everyone's wondering if USL will let two teams in the same market/Glavin will waive territory rights.
But yeah, even though STL is still technically 'in the race' for MLS 2011, no-one here is holding their breath anymore. =-(

Im sure STL will get their team soon. Lookin good FIRE! |

Sorry I haven't updated the results recently. But there have been a lot of holes left in the results page on MLSnet, and I found an article from the PRIslanders the other day pointing out several games that MLSnet has not included where the MLS team involved lost. So take the 'overall picture' with a grain of salt. =-) 2/12 - Rapids 3-0 FIU2/12 - Dynamo 2-0 Galaxy 2/12 - Chivas 1-3 Tapatio2/13 - Earthquakes 3-2 SoundersFC 2/13 - RealSL 8-0 Shandong Luneng2/13 - Red Bull 3-2 TFC 2/14 - FCDallas 5-1 UMemphis2/15 - Earthquakes 2-0 Dynamo 2/17 - FCDallas 1-0 Rapids 2/17 - Chivas 1-0  2/18 - Dynamo 0-0 Hammarby IF2/18 - Crew 2-0 UTampa2/18 - Crew 6-0 Central Florida2/18 - Fire 0-0 Queretaro2/18 - Galaxy 2-0 Oita TrinitaTallys: Wizards:_____2-1-0__+8___2.3333 Fire:________3-1-1__+6___2.0000 DCUnited:____1-0-1__-2___1.5000 Dynamo:_____2-2-1__+3__1.6000 FCDallas:_____2-1-1__+2__1.7500 Red Bull:_____1-1-0__+1__2.0000 RealSL:______1-1-0__+8__2.0000 SoundersFC:__3-0-1__+8__2.2500 Galaxy:_______1-0-2__-2__1.0000 Crew:________2-0-1__+7_2.0000 Earthquakes:__2-0-0__+3__3.0000 Rapids:_______1-0-1__+2__1.5000 TFC:_________0-0-2__-2___0.0000 Chivas:_______1-0-1___-1___1.5000 Non-MLS:_____2-3-11__-38 ^I just realized my sheet doesn't totally add up. I think I have one more win than loss, and my GD is +2 instead of zero.... ^.^'' I also note an interesting lack of the Revolution.... They don't start their preseason until the Austin Aztex invitational thingy on the last day of the month.... Also interesting how some teams have played five games (Fire, Dynamo) with many others at two or less. Unless MLS is censoring game results more than I'm aware. =-) Yay! for the Earthquakes currently going 3.0 on PPG! |

Interesting for the Revs to start so late. I dont think all the teams will play the same amount of preseason games or do they? so maybe the numbers wont add up somehow.
