TFC Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Toronto FC for life!!!! Shame they're shite Link to comment
adams Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) In regards to footage, you can download the MLS app. The highlights of the Timbers match include the Timber Army singing the national anthem and unveiling their very large tifo. It's a nice tribute to a daughter of one of the Timber Army capos. Portland's tifo yesterday looked amazing. Got loads of respect for the Timber Army. True fans of their team.

teddies Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 http://www.mlssoccer.com has highlights from all the games. FFA could learn from that. Then again, it probably costs major $$$ to do what the MLS has done with their site, and FFA has Fox Sports/SBS to put highlights. They pump heaps of money into all their sports media; from college to pro. I honestly dont think Australia would ever meet their standard. Link to comment
TFC Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The Portland fans are ******* awesome. I was lucky enough to drink with them and their chairman Gavin Wilkinson in Vancouver last year when they were on the road against the Withecaps. Gavin is a Kiwi and was full of questions and stories about the A-League and Australian/Kiwi football. A very memorable night indeed!! jano 1 Link to comment
yttam95 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 The portland timbers' active support is what got me to become a fan. Now i watch every game, and even seeing their support at home games on the telly is special. Link to comment

They draw in some names and there is quality football to be seen. I think the commentary (ESPN) doesn't do it for me. Just something not right about it. Link to comment

Haydzp14 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I have huge respect for MLS, as Football isn't the main sport in America and yet some of the crowds are bloody amazing. ... then again they have many millions more than us in their country!! New England Revolution <3 Link to comment

jano Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I've got some mates in Portland, who've been egging me to come and visit and catch a match at Jeldwen. Was meant to leave on the 22nd for a month long US trip, but had to can it because of work projects. But will definitely make it soon. Other than the timbers, the New York Red Bulls with Henry and our boy Cahill are pretty hectic. Link to comment

teddies Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Good to see Timmy Cahill get back on the scoring sheet like this... TIM Cahill's header in stoppage time gave New York a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday, helping the Red Bulls maintain top spot in the MLS eastern conference. The Red Bulls won for the fifth time in six games when Australian international Cahill leaped to a Juninho free kick and nodded in from close range for his fourth goal of the season. Link to comment

Davo Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah I heard that was in the works. It's kind of weird though. It alienates anyone who supports a baseball team that isn't the Yankees or a European football club that isn't City. Given the choice between New York City FC and New York Red Bulls I'd imagine that any New Yorker who supports Manchester United (and there'd be plenty) would go for the Red Bulls. smarty 1 Link to comment
GookKidMaadCity Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Surely they would learn from the mess that is Chivas USA. Link to comment
marron Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I believe the mets are already pissed off as the stadium will be in queens. But the team won't be "Yankees fc" or anything, they just have s share in ownership. Also sports in the us are a bit different. Due to media blackouts and do forth it's rare people go for sides outside their own cities, as all the coverage is on them (they don't have neutral commentators even). The Yankees and mets are in different leagues, so it's easier to actually support both in a way. As well, the red bulks aren't actually from new York, they ate based on jersey.

pseudonym Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Just to add to Ciudadmarron's point, the matches of the New York City FC will be broadcast on a TV network owned by the Yankees (YES), http://m.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/05/21/new-york-city-fc-matches-televised-yes-network-yankees-ownership-stake-will-bring-synergies Link to comment

theguyyouwishyouwere Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 just watched NY red bulls dynamo houston match. best commentator line of the day was a mash up of two classic sayings and had me in stitches "he couldn't buy a goal to save his life" Link to comment
adams Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 portland is where its at. its awesome their on field performance is matching their active support this season. Link to comment
theguyyouwishyouwere Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 some of the new york chants sould familiar too - including Sos Cagon (We Are The Terrace) Link to comment
wilsonpastore Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) great stuff from portland, and also considering that they're relatively new as well. also love the seattle fans also, i am a big admirer of how they effectively use their stadium Edited July 4, 2013 by wilsonpastore Link to comment
Andygeo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Agree. Portland's active support is amazing. Went to a game there last year and the atmosphere is great. I'm a Whitecaps fan, but you've gotta respect what they've done. The bloke cutting the giant log with a chainsaw after they score a goal is gold! teddies 1 Link to comment
Davo Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The MLS All Stars v Roma match is on now on ESPN. The atmosphere sounds really good considering it's an All Stars game (although maybe not so surprising considering how patriotic those yanks are). Also the referee is wearing glasses with a camera built in and it's a pretty awesome feature. It's cool to be able to see what the referee's view of an incident is. Link to comment

The Super 15 refs wear these cameras too! It's scary how close they get to the hits.. Link to comment

The Super 15 refs wear these cameras too! It's scary how close they get to the hits.. Would be very useful for inspectors too. I remember a referee was sent home from the Korea/Japan world cup after missing an incident. His response to the inspector was "I couldn't see... had players in the way". Luckily there was a camera directly behind him that showed his view... no players in the way he had just f**ked it up... pack your bags son! Link to comment
